Muir state beach

I have to go to Muir state beach saturday, for a bbq/Little fire with the GF. I say little fire as I was told bonfire last time, and brought a truck load of wood for a BONFIRE, and was only allowed to make a little fire.

Any ways I was wondering has any one dove or fished from Muir? It looked a bit sandy.

I am wondering if I should try ab diving/spear fishing/tackle fishing/bring a kayak, or if I would be just waisting my time.  I've heard abs are pretty tough to get from marin county, but I was wondering if any one has any first hand experiences around Muir?

Bad vis, sharky, and not a whole lot of abs, probably because of the limited kelp growth in that area. I would expect any abs in that area to be holed up in intertidal cracks.

Your best bet would probably be bringing your yak and H&L'ing it for a chance at rockfish, salmon, and stripers.

Later in the summer drifting baits for halibut can produce some very nice fish. You could try a few drifts now...Salmon are too far out right now to make it worthwhile. Rock fish a near sure thing outside the cove itself

Dropping a couple crab pots would kick out some crabs also. 

Enjor your day, grab a couple surf rods and soak some anchovies. I heard someone caught a striper not too long ago doing the same thing at stinson.

Also beware of the nude colonists lol, i'm pretty sure thats a nude beach.

What do you soak your anchovies with?  Is this for Halibut fishing or striper fishing?  When people say Muir Beach is sharky- do you mean GWS sharky? (Can you guess I'm new to this )

Yes, gws sharky, but it is still early in the season. Rock Fish to the south and north of the cove (depending on open season restrictions) is good. Halibut on the sand. This time of year seems to bring in alot of large sand soles. Surf perch can also be very good.

Nude beach is only the far N side, past the rocks and the creek

I had a tough time getting past the breakers off of that beach one day (3 times). Make sure the swell is not from the south.

Here's a link to the lawson's landing report:

They say the salmon are only a mile out.

I'm waiting for the wind to die down to hit chimney rock at Pt. Reyes.(rockfish) Launching from Drake's beach or the old Lifeguard station if they will let me.

(He's talking about soaking the anchovies in the ocean)

I have launched fro the old lifebost station, they won't let you if there are seals on the besch- so give a call first and avoid the drive

Thanks, Steve.
 Maybe Saturday

that nude beach produces!!

that nude beach produces!!

No trouser trout tournaments!

Muir reminds me alot of linda mar. IMHO South beach launch is the best. North entry the same. Great beach access for a shore dive entry. However, knowing the proximity, I wouldn't be comfortable w/o great viz and during blood triangle!  Ive been there many times in yak and thought it would be a good time to free dive because of sea conditions and, just as equally Ive thought wouldnt because of aformentioned and proximity to
Stinson and SF Bar.
As our brothers say, pass, shore fish, yak fish. Enjoy the company!
