How do I launch at the Oakland Airport/bayfarm launch??

So I went down to the airport launch from the NCKA directions.  Hung a U turn at north loop road, and then what??? Do I cross the chains, and walk down to the little beach?? It was super low tide and there were dried kelp beds and rocks that looked real tough to get over. there is a long jetty with fences over there. Is that the right spot?? It is the closest place to my house and I hear there are big dinosaurs over there.  thanks.

From your descriptions, sounds like you got to the right place.  Just park along the curb, wheel or carry your yak under/over the chain to the beach.  Those rocks look "tough" but they're not that bad    That place is a little tough to launch or return during very low tide.

Ok great. thanks Sonny, I thought the mean alameda police were gonna stop me because of the chain, I didn't know what to do   

One more thing...the last time we launched there, there's a guy from the pier using a bull horn calling us to get back to shore as we're paddling out...just ignore him unless...you hear gun shots 

Its not escape from alcatraz Sonny    but just in case ill wear my combo pfd/body armor.  Not to mention the scotty machine gun mounts on my new trident

......I hear there are big dinosaurs over there.  thanks.

Oooh, cool, gotta add the spot to my list of places to fish!

Sheesh, on second thought maybe I should scratch that one back off the list, thanks Sonny. 

If you launch from there stay outside of the bouys (airport territory) and nobody will yell at you.  Just head straight for SF and then turn left when outside the bouys.

I have been to that launch before...I found it easier with 2 people to carry the yaks.  I was sitting on the anchor and saw a fat ass shark leap clear out of the water about 50 yds in front of me....a few seconds later i got bit and it was on!      bad ass

bring a book to read and a pillow for a nap....yawn!!!! But you got the launch ID'd

hopefully you can launch soon! i've seen and heard of sturgeon caught off bay farm recently.

that is the spot......hit it when the tide is going out. incoming has a lesser chance of getting bit.(so THEY say)

I think that's my next move. After a couple freshwater skunks, ( since I don't fish with Marshmallows I cant catch these baby B#$#H trout around here) it's time for some salty, slushy, 66" fun.  The rains are comin in big this week, so maybe next.  Anyone, up for christmas dinos???

When the reports are that they are jumping in the kayaks....i'll be right over there buhdee, but until then, i might a well just sit in my garage, bait my sturgeon rig, cast it out into the street, and wait for a sturg' to find it......just like the real thing = same odds
Make sure you have a quick-release anchor set-up.
