Just stumbled across this video...



 

So far I've watched the following:
 
- 28 days later
- 28 months later
- Train to Busan
- World war z
- I am legend

Any recommendations?

Just a heads up for anyone needing to practice self rescues. Every Tuesday at the Camden Community Center from 8-9:30 pm the pool will be open to paddle boarders. There is a $12 cover charge.

Bring your wheels as the pool is some distance away from the parking lot.

How do you guys feel about washing your kayak/pb during this drought?

The last couple of times we've taken our family PB out we always get death stares while washing our boat. We don't have the water running the whole time and only hose down when we need to. The only real water consumption is when we flush the motors.

For the kayak, I try to use very little water washing the yak but I always have this feeling that the neighbors are secretly filming me... Maybe I'll see myself or one of us on Stanley Robert's People Behaving Badly!

Is there an alternative for us that fish the salt primarily?

I haven't gone sturgeon fishing in a long time and a lot of things have changed since the last time I targeted them. My family and I plan on fishing for them soon (around the south bay) and I want to make sure I'm not missing any regulations.

Here is what I've gathered so far:

- The legal size limit for a white sturgeon is between 40 and 60 inches. You must measure the sturgeon from the nose to the tail fork

- You cannot use a snare to land a sturgeon. However, nets can be used to help assist in landing

- A single point, single shank, barbless hook can only be used for sturgeon fishing

- Once you have decided to retain a sturgeon, it must be immediately tagged. After catching your sturgeon for the day, you must stop fishing. Boat limits do not apply

- Sturgeon over 68 inches in length from nose to tail fork cannot be removed from the water, they must be immediately released

Now, here are some things I've read floating the web but could not find them in the fresh and salt water regulation booklets:

- Leaders must be a minimum of 18" when using 1/2 ounce or more of weight

- The shank of the hook must not exceed 1" from the eye to the throat of the hook

If I'm missing anything, please let me know. The last thing I want is a huge fine 

Thanks,

John

I've fished down in Big Sur quite a few times and I'm always amazed by the beauty of it all. I really want to show my family the central coast but I'm not too familiar with the area after Point Pinos.

I'm aware there are a few MPA's (Carmel Pinnacles, Point Lobos, Asilomar etc.) along the coast that we have to avoid. I was thinking about finding any spots after Point Lobos and before Point Sur MPA. Any pointers for a newbie wanting to take the PB down there? Estimated travel time, dangerous wash rocks, etc?

Thanks,
John

Hi Divers!

I'm looking into diving this year, but the thing is I've never swam in the ocean before. The only experience I've had is swimming in local pools and lakes.

I noticed that Sonoma Coast Divers offers a course on ab diving with the only real requirements being that the student be in good health, moderately in shape and able to swim.

Would you advise against taking a ab diving course your first time out? Any experiences with Sonoma Coast Divers?
