Monterey Salmon

Planning on heading out to Monterey for salmon opener on 4/6.  Anyone have any suggestions about where to launch yak from?  I was thinking either Moss Landing or Coast Guard Pier?

Probably Moss, that's where I launched last year for the April salmon.  Plus its a closer drive for me.  If you're down south already maybe launching from Monterey would make more sense.  Coming from either direction, It's a 6-8 mile paddle/pedal/motor/sail out to Mulligan's hill, the fishing spot that produced for us last year.

I won't get time to go until the Thursday or Friday after the Opener

Stoked for Local Action!!  Can't Wait!!

Bigtuna catches all the salmon, nothing left.

Note: Exercise caution if you go for salmon there.

 

Chet I heard you're making a battery for Kristof

thanks for the info....if i cant find someone to go with, probably will hang out in bay and troll around.

 there are no salmon in the Monterey Bay especially Santa Cruz. 


Be safe, weather can change quickly this time of year

Appreciate the heads up...

I typically head straight out and a little north from Moss Landing. this way the wind and waves are with you coming back. And of course watch which way the current is pulling you.
If nothing else bring some sand dab gear for the end of the day. 82/100 ft of water hopefully there will be some around
