HMB crab

Hey folks, I am looking to soak a pot in HMB. I am trying to only use a single shot of rope, which is why HMB. I have Crabbe around monterey and santa cruz in a power boat but want to launch the Yak, hit some rocks and drop a pot. Without disclosing family secrets or honey holes, where is an easy spot to drop a pot? I am hearing just north of the jetty is ok. Don't know if I will hit the opener, but I will be crabbing again this year, especially after the DA shut down last year.
Any way tight lines and heavy pots to everyone. And thanks for the advice.

Opener is probably going to be blown out. If you are comfortable launching in surf Linda mar beach is more productive the hmb. Extreme south end of rock away is actually an easy launch. Well protected from south swell, nice rip current gets you out quick. I suggest watching the waves for a good 10 15 minutes before launching there. You will want to have your set time down when you get back.

Going to have to take a look at my traps and figure out if they are still legal and what I need to do to modify
Good info here.

Thanks for the info on Linda Mar. I might go check it out this week some time. I still want to hit up HMB for ease and I know some folks around there that would love some crab.
