Trinidad & Humboldt - May 29-31st

I'll be bringing the family over to stay with some friends this weekend, and my brownie points are still intact since I wasn't able to make GMSIII.  I plan to fish Fri/Sat/Sun mornings in Trinidad.  I've heard the halibut are making a showing in Humboldt Bay too, so that's tempting.  If anyone can make it out, let me know. 

Also, have you guys left any crabs out there? 

Thanx,

You're getting some great conditions if the forecast holds, Ben. 

.FRI...N WIND 5 TO 10 KT. WIND WAVES 2 FT OR LESS. NW SWELL 5 FT.
.SAT...N WIND 5 TO 10 KT. WIND WAVES 2 FT OR LESS. MIXED SWELL...NW 4 FT AND SW 3 FT.
.SUN...N WIND 5 TO 10 KT. WIND WAVES 2 FT OR LESS. MIXED SWELL...NW 4 FT AND SW 3 FT.

I'll try to hookup with you, but I don't know if I have any WAF built back up yet...

Where you staying this year?

Eric

Wow the conditions look Great Thanks Eric!
Ben, I want to go really bad, however I used a bunch of "Brownie" points at GS III.
Maybe I can talk her into a trip
Maybe not

I'll PM if it's a GO!

Let us know how you do, and where the fish are

I've been keeping my eyes on those conditions and have my fingers crossed...it's looking too good! 

With the 2 1/2 year old and 5 month old, we're going to pass on camping this year and stay with some friends in McKinleyville.  The wind/rainstorm at Big Lagoon kicked our asses last year.  That's pretty much the only reason I'll be able to get out everyday, it makes it much easier on the wife/kids.  It'd be great if you guys could make it, but if not we'll hook up again in a month or so. 

Hopefully the UPS guy shows up before we leave on Thursday so I'll have my new camera to play around with...full report w/ pics will follow!

tight lines,

Hey Ben, good luck out there. I remember fishing at Trinidad with you last year, you were catching lots of large blacks. I'll look forward to your report...

I was at trinidad yesterday and got some blacks and an underling, saw a boat come in with a nice halibut but it was 6 miles offshore(don't think I am going there).

I will be fishing Trinidad Sunday with 2 others so far.
I am fishing the am till bout noon then I have a bike demo to run in Arcata.

See you in a couple days!

I heard of a few ppl getting dungees when I was there yesterday.

Domenic and I played around diving and briefly fishing in the Harbor this morning before work.  The ocean's nice.  We saw another yakker with some fish - maybe it was Timojam?...

Should be good.

Wish you could make it up fishinmike, that was a good time last year...hopefully I can match the black-hog from last year!

Yup, it was me.  Had a quality limit in 90 min.  Find rocks and you'll fine fish--45ft.  I used a small swim bait that looked like a 3" minnow--killed them.  Even better I used a trout rod.  Had my first taste of abalone from a friend--love that flesh.

Sweet, thanks for the tips!  Hope to see you out there!

OK finally got the green light from the boss,I plan on being at the launch at around 7-730 sat morning 

Saturday's going to be NICE - you guys should try near shore about 2-3 miles north of the Head if you venture that far.

Good luck - I'm hoping to hookup with you Sunday morning.
