Perch are everywhere don’t need to dive in the surf for them.
It’s probably easier along a reef or kelpy area.

Vis would be better too.

I think dive in the surf would be safer due to shallow water, sandy and near the beach so you have fun in the beach too and with other family members.

I really dig the idea of bringing the family down to the beach while you get some perch. There are lots of places that have beaches for family where perch would be easier to shoot, like Coral st in PG, or even Lovers 3. Perch are everywhere and probably one of the easiest fish to find and spear.

As my post count implies, I'm new to kayaking.  When beach landing in rough conditions, does anybody hop out of their kayak and hang onto the stern and ride the wave in?  I would also be wearing my fins at this point.  Seems like 200 lbs of a**hole would create enough drag to keep it straight till you hit the beach.

I assume you're diving from your yak? If so, I'd definitely tie your fins down somewhere (not wearing them). That sounds like a really good way to get hurt or lose a fin. I strap my fins to the bow under elastic and then use some 550 cord to secure the footpackets to the bungee. To that point, make sure all your gear is tied down. Here is a video of how I set up my dive yak

Mothers day dinner...
Last packet of Black Sea Bass from SE Alaska (this stuff is my new favorite fish)

Spinach fettuccine tossed with wild mushroom cream sauce. Sauce was made with sherry, sherry vinegar, cream, shallots, garlic and thyme. Added some peas, asparagus tips, and floured sea bass seared in brown butter.

WOW. That sounds so bomb! Well done!

Years of surf launches and retrievals on the east coast taught me that it's easier to get out in tough surf than it is to get back... Now that I'm in a Hobie Adventure, with the way the bow is designed, I think it'll be super easy to pull one of these unless I catch the wave just right:

Experimenting with food (since we have the time).

Veggie filled chips, aged fillet tartare with Moroccan spiced oil, potato “pancake” (not sure what to call it but it’s basically piped and fried gnocchi dough), a black truffle goat cheese popper.
Not at all as attractive as I was hoping but happy to have the flavors on point.

I posted my story, CLICK HERE TO READ, about coming face to face with a GWS a couple years back at Del Monte Beach. What's neat was just a couple weeks later, at the NCKA Pay It Forward event, I won an Amadeo Bachar GWS picture. Totally made my first year (ish) as a NCKAer! I went down to his studio and he signed it. Super cool.

What size shoe are you? I have size 12 plastic long fins that you can borrow to see if they suit your needs as far as style goes. I also have carbon fiber fins but I use them frequently.

Oregon Freedive Company is selling all their old rental fins. Might get a good deal with them

If you want new fins, I can put you in contact with Bamboo Reef and they could get you a nice pair.

A friend gifted me some fresh squid.

Habanero horseradish and quick seared mantle.

Then went to the local farmers market today (it was pretty empty and seemed safe to walk through) and found some neat fruits and veggies. Thought I’d experiment! This meal was enjoyable but that sauce was off the hook! Will absolutely be using it in the future.

I didn't measure stuff but if you want to make it, blend olive oil, tomatoes, habanero, white onion, garlic, redwine vinegar, lime juice, salt, parsley, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano and a fair amount of horseradish.

Aged sheephead for 60 hours buried in ice (wrapped in plastic) and dry aged for 6 hours. I was interested in trying various flavor combos for future meals. I used sauces, fruits and veggies including goshujang, yuzu juice, kiwi, daikon, soy, seaweed, lemon, toasted jalapeno, etc. My favorite flavor combo was reducing sake and yuzu ponzu, pouring it over the sushi rice, then adding avocado, tobiko, kiwi, burned lemon and a drop of sriracha. I also made my wife’s favorite spicy edamame with lots of garlic, sesame oil and chilis.
Dang chef!  Bon Appetit to da max! :smt006

I fully support your idea of starting a rotating menu/chef food truck.

Looks impressive how did it taste?
Never ate raw sheep before

Ageing fish has become my new norm. It firms it up, produces a much truer flavor, and is surprisingly fresh - you just have to be really mindful of keeping your cutting board, knife, hands and fillets super clean. Then I held it up to the light to see if there were any worms. After slicing it, I held each piece up to the light to check for worms again since the pieces were now thinner. The flavors were really fun. Charred lemon is one of my favorite flavors to pair with fish... just amazing. The kiwi, yuzu ponzu and sriracha combo was super neat too. Highly recommend. The only thing I would change next time is slicing my pieces smaller. Those were huge portions for finger food.

Figures.  Are their roadblocks or VCP's down to Lucia, Plaskett?

Not that I saw last weekend. It was just rangers ticketing people at their cars. Haven't been down since.

General Talk / Big Sur Closures

LOS PADRES NATIONAL FOREST
MONTEREY RANGER DISTRICT
Forest Order No. 0 5 -0 7 -5 1 -2 0 -0 3
COVID19 Emergency Closure

https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd725353.pdf

At my initial reading of this, it appears that Big Sur wants to limit people going down there. I close to northern sur and when I took a drive down there last weekend, Bixby bridge was packed, like no parking - as were a couple other spots including Monastery Beach North and South Lots were packed to the gills and people were getting ticketed at Partington Cove. Now with this emergency closure in place, I'm guessing tickets will be handed out more aggressively.
