Capitola 7/30?

Let's try this again.  No road races or other events that I'm aware of this weekend.

Anyone up for a Capitola kelp adventure on Sunday AM?

Chris.

I might be up for it...hope you don't mind a newbie tagging along. 

San Jose gran prix.    Sorry.  Id rather fish anyway!

Yes, the SJ Grand Prix, the Gilroy Garlic Festival, and there are probably others.  But none that I am aware of that will ban all parking in Capitola like last Sunday AM!

usagi_pj - I'll be on channel 69.  I paddle an orange prowler (probably with a blue bait tank on Sunday).

Chris.

chris, good luck on sunday, I'm doing airport pickup (the reverse of what I did last saturday) that day.

sounds like you are going for live bait, I have consistently seen a lot in the kelp to the right of the moored
boats. it moves around, but never seems to go real far. try there first, with smallest hook sabiki you got.

Best,

J

Sounds good.  I'll be in a yellow (papaya) Outback.  First time at Capitola...any suggestions on where to park?

Rockaway - I haven't been to Capitola either (not in a kayak at least) so I'm just going to wing it.  There are some directions posted here:

I'm going to bring quarters and park at the metered lot as it seems to be the easiest option for a newby like myself.  I'm coming from Sunnyvale and expect to be there by 7:00ish...if I don't see you guys in the lot I'll catch ya on the water.

The easiest parking is west of the wharf, up the hill.  On Google earth the lot is covered by fog (!) and I don't recall the name of the street. Sorry!

The fish gods are protecting some big halibut on the bottom of the bay or something because it turns out I need to take a pass on tomorrow - my wife hurt her back yesterday and can't lift our 18 month old son, and she hasn't gotten much better through the day.  So I need to stay home and be Dad.  My son has already been on my yak a few times in fresh water and loves it.  Hopefully by next season his swimming will be improved and we can buy that double to paddle together, and I won't have to miss so many fish days...

'Can't wait to hear how you do.  Maybe I'll see you next week!

Chris.
