Crissy Fields

Greetings,

A group of us are thinking about trying a live anchovy attack at Crissy Fields.  We should have enough bait to split up between 4-8 yakkers.  Live tank well or trolling bucket recommended.

Meeting at sunrise, ~6am.


The windsurfing event will conclude today(Saturday).  Thanks Backcountry for the heads up. 

PM me if you are interested hooking up with us.

06/15/08 Weather:
5am-2pm
West 4-11mph
Once you go to the beach, the wind can be very light on the beach but nuking on the outside.
53°F to 64°F

Water conditions:
Wave height is 1.5m to 2m
Wave period is 9 seconds
Flat
Chop
Small waves <1m
Medium waves 1m-3m
Strong tides. Flood are very hard to ride here. Water condition very greatly even on the same day from flat as a board to psycho chop to large waves near the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Information:
Self-rescue at Crissy is very challenging. You typically are not washed towards the beach, but rather currents take you either out towards the GG Bridge or towards Alkatraz Island. Being rescued by the Coast Guard or a passing by sailboat is common at Crissy Field, but understand that these options are not always close by and the water at Crissy is VERY COLD.  Wear a wetsuit!

Directions:
From Sonoma, Marin and most East Bay locations cross the Golden Gate bridge. Take the second off ramp which goes to Lombard St. As you go down the off ramp make the first right in to the Presidio. Immediately go right again and go several blocks crossing under the freeway. Continue to the beach side parking. From the Peninsula head north on Hwy. 280. Merge with 19th Ave. Continue through Golden Gate Park on Park Presidio. Just before the Golden Gate Bridge take the offramp going towards the Marina District. Then follow the instructions above.

Hey Goutless, just wondered, where do you put in there?
I haven't been over there to check it out in detail since they did they wetland restoration & stuff.

I'm definitely interested since it's so CLOSE! 
Has there been some action right there recently?

Put in is a piece of cake... plenty of parking...

Goutless, what about bait?  Are you picking it up at pier 45 as discussed?  I'm strongly considering going.

I'm going to PM you my cell digits... please send me yours back.

Cheers, Backcountry (aka John)

Thanks for the call... sounds like we'll have a decent size posse in the morning!  See you there!
