General Talk / Captains License

« on: September 19, 2022, 10:10:27 AM »

Morning All

Looking for some help with info on obtaining a captain's license (boat) for hopefully this next April. So, hopefully enough time to prepare now.

I have been boating for decades. I obtained, my commercial license this year to ride along with a friend who commercial fishes salmon.

Just started my research and found classes that are running from about 800 and up. The ones i have found are online. Looking for a hands-on classroom atmosphere.

TIA for replies.

Good news is they typically just feeding on smaller prey. It's the momma's and the poppas ya gotta look out for..

Hooked a small 7 footer on a live croaker that went airborne a few yrs ago near capitola.

General Talk / Heads up

« on: May 29, 2022, 08:42:10 PM »

This is posted frequently but a friendly reminder for the new folks getting into salmon fishing. We are starting to see more and more silver salmon here in the Monterey bay. Of course these are not legal for take. Familiarize yourself with the differences between a King and Silver salmon. That is all. Carry on !

General Talk / Next fishing ride

« on: December 17, 2021, 01:37:51 PM »

Couple trolling rod holders and I'm set.

Not sure how it would handle 6 foot swells or if a GWS or Orca may mistake this craft as lunch ?
