The Ritz

How far a paddle is it from the Princeton Harbor to the Ritz? I want to get out on Wednesday and I'd like to try somewhere other than Linda Mar. Thanks,
Andrew

5-7 miles.  we're launching my boat out of hmb tomorrow morning at 6am.  if you want to hitch a ride, i can mothership you out.  i haven't decided yet if we're fishing montara, the ritz or pescadero.  i'd like to run to pescadero, but i'm not sure about the weather.  the last time we ran to pesky, we hammered over a dozen big blues in 20 feet of water.  shallow water makes me a little nervous, but you'd be able to nestle in and feel right at home.  we normally call it quits at noon.  interested?

I really appreciate the offer...I'm  probably going to just yak it, maybe out of the harbor, maybe Linda Mar. Thanks again, though, and good luck out there!

good luck!

so andrew, here's what you missed out on.  my neighbor's son-in-law is visiting from LA.  yeah, dodgers fan.  so he wants to go fish.  i say, "no problem."  we launch this morning and head up to montara.  i'm showing them how to rig whole squid.  on their first drop, both my neighbor and his son-in-law get bird's nests.  then they both get hung up in the rocks.  i'm marking fish from top to bottom while i retie.  they drop down with specific instructions to thumb the spool and bounce the bottom.  well, we spent at least two thirds of our time trying to get unstuck or rerigging.  we managed two lings, a huge cab, and six measley rockfish for 6 hours of fishing.  i was marking fish everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!  what a day....



and for those of you that were wondering what the boat looks like now....

Hey Alan....how do you paddle one of those things?  

I also noticed that your boat has no name.....may I suggest "Mothership"  

Has anyone ever kayak fished with Alan?  Hey Alan, we need to get you on the water with us!

yeah, yeah, i know.  i still need to rig the my caper.  i have everything needed, fishfinder, gps, rod holders, battery, bilge pump (to double as a live well pump), the works!  i just need a couple of free days.  i'll have more time when the kids are back in school.

I already have a reward out there for ANYONE who has witnessed Alan T. fishing from his kayak....(a photo will be worth millions).....it's like spotting the Lochness Monster  

Mind you - he does have a kayak hanging from his garage....it's now a home to many spiders

.....we still love you Alan  

Alan,

Bring your yak on up to Elk.  I hear there will be plenty of gearheads floating around the ECC, ready and willing to rig your yak for you on Saturday afternoon.

And you know, newbies are winning this year's tournies.  There is a brand new yak just waiting for you to win.

Nice fish! Thanks again for the offer...I got two lings myself and was home by 10 AM, so it's all good...
