HMB Wed 11/23 night soak

Hey guys Im thinking of an overnight soak with a Tday morning pick up. WX is not great Im thinking of staying really close to the jetty for an quick trip. Thinking of dropping the pots around 4 or 5 pm rain doesnt bother me all are welcome.

I was contemplating on going tonight, but the weather and me not wanting to be cold in my car, seemed to be the factor.

Dropped about 75' from the jetty two weeks ago. Only got a red crab. Another dude dropped bout 100 feet from me parallel to the jetty and got a bunch of rock crabs. Might wanna go further out then I did. Good luck. Let me know how u do please

Chaeki lets go out wed! Tuan01 thanks for the info the jetty is a hit or miss the crabs tend to move about. I will def put up a report for this one now that my camera isnt dead!

I've been considering going for the past week, but the forecast is really not looking very good:

W 8-10' @ 13 seconds
SSW 1-2' @ 15 seconds
Wind SSE 20-25 mph

Thursday morning the wind begins dying down but the swell grows a little bigger.  I am also considering lawson's landing early Thursday morning instead.

What happened today?

tuan

I almost went out today but couldnt get off work. Still going crabing though tomorrow night.

Be carefull and when you go out the Jaws go parralell to the rockwall before going out; with SE winds waves can and do break right in front of Jaws. If you "consistantly" get rock crabs in an area, you will consistantly Not get dunnies there. With that big of a swell in that shallow, you may have to pull HARD to get your pots up, they will get sanded in; how much you never know. Good luck and be safe to all who give it a shot; I'm waiting for Friday.

Weather predictions are very general and span over wide area.... however, after checking out the conditions at hmb in person; recommend staying home... its a washing machine right outside the jaws.... wind is blowing from the south and the red flag is out....


We (Mooch and I ) are chilling in Princeton by the seas; and a nice warm bowl of chowder....

well, plan B.....you can always clam or even kite surf inside the jetty. One of the clam guys actually scored a horse neck clam....
