General Talk / Re: Harder to get to HMB for a while

« on: January 15, 2023, 12:56:15 AM »

I heard on the news that Cal Trans is going to divert both EB and WB traffic onto the EB lane side (undamaged) since it's two lane. It'll keep traffic EB and WB flowing using one lane each and still be able to close off the WB two lane damaged side to repair without shutting down the entire freeway entirely. It'll be slow both ways for a while but at least you'll be able to get to HMB using hwy 92 still.

« on: November 27, 2021, 10:20:52 AM »

Considering crabbing either Rockaway or hmb this Sunday (tomorrow). Forecast is 5' swells at Rockaway and a little smaller in hmb. Anyone have any issues launching/landing in these conditions at Rockaway? Thanks in advance.

Are NE winds any better or worse when returning to the harbor? This weekend calls for gusty NE conditions after 12.

Recreational Crab Trap Validation $2.42 IMPORTANT! Beginning November 1, 2021, this validation is required for any person taking crabs with crab traps as defined in CCR, T14, Section 29.80(c). When taking crabs with hoop nets or crab loop traps, this validation is not required.

I'm assuming I'm going to need one of these stamps since I'll be using my two square caged traps. Where can one purchase these stamps? Walmart, Big 5, anywhere that sells fishing licenses?

General Talk / Seals...

« on: November 01, 2021, 11:12:15 AM »

Saw this youtube video over the weekend where a seal attempted to grab the fish stringer but missed. Has this happened to anyone where the seal was/wasn't successful but scared the crap out of you? And if grabbed, did it rock or flip the boat?

last Saturday was straight south wind, but the surf was much smaller. Tomorrow the surf will be bigger, but the south wind wont be as bad. Hope that help you to decide.

Yeah, I'm not yet familiar with Rockaway's demeanor so to speak as of yet. Surf last Sat was rated at 2.5'. Tomorrow is rated at 2'. So, I'm confused on how you're saying it'll be bigger surf tomorrow. I do understand about the wind as it was pretty hairy last weekend.

Is there another site I should check out to give me an overall assessment for tomorrows conditions? I'm coming from Antioch and would like to make a pre-judgement call before making the trip rather than on the beach. Thanks in advance.

General Talk / Rockaway tomorrow (Saturday 9/25)...

« on: September 24, 2021, 11:28:34 AM »

hey all...

Planning to hit Rockaway beach tomorrow (630ish am) as conditions appear to be favorable. Hoping wind doesn't get brutal mid-morning like it did last weekend. I'll be hanging around close to rocks to acquire my 1st keeper ling, cabby, hali, or just rockfish. If anyone wants to join me then, give me a holler. Will be in a hobie dune outback. Hope to see you out there!

General Talk / Kayak camouflage...

« on: September 21, 2021, 07:12:10 PM »

Happen to run across this video where they talked about redesigning the appearance of the wetsuit for a more stealthy look against sharks. Has anyone considered adding zebra stripes across the bottom of their hull to create the same affect?

hey John...it was great meeting and fishing with you! Congrats on the hitchhiker too. Beautiful fish! Like mentioned earlier, weather was great for a couple of hours in the am. Then all hell breaks loose with winds blowing to 15+ mph and waves to 3.5'. Was challenging but somewhat settled down a bit. Still managed 3 rockfish for dinner and missed a ton of takedowns and bites. Look forward to fishing Rockaway again when the conditions are favorable.
