salmon or wsb hunt either HMB or MRY 8/24

Bait&brew Martin and I are thinking of targeting WSB this wednesday.
Not sure where or if the bite is on but we are thinking HMB or perhaps Monterey.

will update by tues afternoon but just wanted to float the hookup out for those who have an itch..

hopefully the waters remain calm...swellinfo.com lists HMB on wed as: WNW 5.2 @9sec / SSW 1.6 @13sec wnid 6kt

MRY: WNW 4.9 9sec / SSW 2.0 13sec wind 9kt

Good luck guys! I had one on for 15 seconds and heard about a couple in the morning.  They're around and I hope they go on the bite on Wed.

In for HMB if you decide that's the place. Let me know times etc. 

They are around, but I think they are more concentrated up north. Santa Cruz, Captiola, and Moss landing has been the areas, although I heard the squid boats have been working the monterey area. Good luck ghost busting.

Dave,   Conditions continue to look really good, except for an increase in the winds around 3 PM to about 13 MPH.  We should be done by then anyway.  I'm thinkin' HMB around 7:00 AM.

I am in for fishing, just let me know time and location!
Name is Carlos and I got a Hobie MR-13.

We will meet in the lot behind HMB kayak a little before 7:00 and plan to hit the water around 7.  Channel 69

I'd stay off the Monterey bay for now unless you love to catch Jellyfish

Semi glassy/semi bumpy in the morning with W winds less than 5kt. Bumpy/semi bumpy conditions for the afternoon as the winds increase to 5-10kt.

Looks like epic weather but I'm out. work being done to the house.

Next full moon is around 9/12 so 9/9-9/15 would be good for a ghost hunt unless you get good intel. The seiners have cleared much of the squid which have scattered the fish for now.

Thanks for the info Scott.  We're still going to give it a try tomorrow.  If there are no Ghosts, there always seem to be rock fish in the area or maybe even a Halibut in the flats.  I'm sure the group will be up for another try next month after the full moon.  Seeing the Ghosts caught by others is making me salivate.  Let me know next time you're going out after them again.  I could really benefit from some tutoring.

HMB it is at 7 am..
thanks Scott for the info regarding the scattered squid..

I will rig with barbless in the hope salmon are in the area...
another rod will bounce bottom for a lucky butt....but seeing how I have never fished this area...it will be a first and not sure how to rig...

see you guys there...
