I was out Saturday and have a waaay different report there was plenty of squid. I grabbed around 50 in a half hour or so and went fishing. There’s patches of squid from the coast guard beach to the red can. Most of it is  suspended 30-70ft down. I found it most abundant on Saturday just before the aquarium in 115ft of water but it moves around of course. You will have much more success if you leave your squid jig still for 3-4 seconds after it’s at the right depth before lifting up. Lifting up and down repeatedly is not the way to do it, let it sit for a few seconds before lifting.  Also, white glow beads, in my opinion, work better than green. Coyote bait and tackle has these sweet finesse squid jigs made by p-line for 10 bucks and they open at 6am it might be worth stopping by on the way down it’s in south San Jose/Morgan hill. Hope this helps

get 'em Paul
wish I could join you - maybe this weekend, or maybe the fort

Wow!

Yep Navionics files did it, sweet now along with the descenders I made up with today I can be sure I'm in compliance. See you guys on the Ocean.

Thanks for putting this together Paul and thanks Al for making the GPX files.

I was able to get both files onto the disk and then load both of them onto my Hook 4 as trails,
I was also able to get the 50 Fathoms line to display!

Unfortunately I was unable to get the 20 Fathoms to display despite double checking all the settings and going through transferring that file a second time.

Locally I'm not worried about being near the line but  Fort Ross and North it gets deep real
quick in some spots and cell reception is spotty so can't just rely on the GPS on the phone.

Great instructions Paul!  If anyone is able to help others with this process at Shelter Cove I know a couple people that could use help as well.

Nice boat.
I might be looking for one soon, depending on where I retire to.

Paul

Retire in San Jose. Then you have great points to cover north and south.

Unless you plan on retiring in Alaska. That's a no brainer.
