Mel's Reef

The Party Boats are getting lots of striper there. I just cannot find it on a map. Anyone here want to give up the gps coordinates or an approximate area of the bay?

Thanks in advance

It's off Alcatraz. It's got a wind bouy at the east point. Go get em'.

It's a small reef to the southwest of Alcatraz Island.

If you have Google Earth, the following file should help.

How deep is Mel's Reef? I want to go at the top of the tide, sounds like stripers are being caught. I also want to do this on the fly rod, some deep water lines, probably a T-14 or something.

this is rough and tumble waters usually..are you yaking or pb'ing?
Be careful and safe.
I went there two years ago on a sixpack charter and got fish!..but it's a tough paddle.
the pic is on top of Mels Reef.

I'm new to fishing from a yak. It would need to be a calm day, it gets NASTY there. That being said it is a fishy spot! I chartered the Morning Star(5 monthes ago) for saturday, I had two people cancell if anybody is interested.

Yeah,that place can turn in a heartbeat..resuling in mine BEATIN' even harder.
It is the Southern West area of the Rock! and is directly exposed to the current,wind and FISH.
If it were calm enough,every Tom, Dick&Harry would be out there too.
MEtoo!
Good luck on the MS!   

I thought that was called The Rockpile????? The water CAN be nice around there...for about 10 min. Ive fished and surfed across the globe, and believe me, you dont wanna be here when things get nasty!!!! and things go from great to deadly in seconds!....

Ther are several piles of rocks in the bay; each with its own name. The "Rockpile" is further NW of Mels.

The Morning Star is a TOP notch operation. I have fished on most of the local P/B's, they all do a good job, but Gordon does better(my opinion). He only takes 22 people out so you not elbow to elbow and he puts you on the fish!

Everyone and their momma has read the same reports....I guarentee a circus this weekend.  Take pics if you chance it. 

i volunteered to go on the morning star with snapperhead.  i have not been on a party boat in a while, looking forward to just fishing and not working with the boat or paddling!

I will be all over that Saturday in my 36 ft Albin. It will be mayhem if it's on. The drift is VERY fast and you got 50 ft partyboats charging up and down with wind chop, ferry wakes and tidal clash. Would be very stimulating in a kayak. We will try all of the rockpiles saturday.
