Bodega Salmon Chase (Part Deux) - 7/13/13

What's up NCKA?

It's looking like the weather is going to be nice out in Bodega all week. If conditions hold 'til Saturday, I plan to head back to Bodega to resume the pink chase.

This would be a Doran launch around 5:30, and off the water around 10:00 ish (for me, anyway). I've gotta make it to a friend's kid b-day party in Tomales around 11:30.

Anyone interested?

Hey Bro

if you launch at Doran at 5:30 and need to be at Tomales at 11:30, then you should just troll all the way to Tomales and have one of your friends drop you at Doran later, or just troll back and get more fish.
Imagine the face on your friends if you show up there in a kayak with 2 huge salmon on the clip.
Just remember not to live the fish in the water while trolling close to Tomales cause the sharks may take a bite at it.

I will be at HMB Saturday, will be at Doran on Friday.
Good luck.

Man, that would be awesome... I think I'd want some company on an adventure like that.

I might just be "fashionably late" to the party... Although it won't help my chances of fishing again on Sunday (minus 10 GFAF points for being late to a friend's kid's birthday). Ha!

maybe drop a car at Doran and another at Tomales. that sounds like a full day of fun.
chase some halibuts and salmon.

maybe we can get a few more people interested.

I'm definitely interested, but don't think I can make it happen on Saturday.

Soon...

Do you listen to Coastside radio or something else?

Listening to the radio chatter this morning it sounds like there's still a hot bite at the whistle buoy.

A few mentions of kayakers on the water, too. Hope you guys are scoring!

Yes, Coastside Radio (ch.9). Are there other places to listen in?

I think I will hit it on Saturday also. I have a show on Friday night, so it will be a late one for me, but I have yet to get an ocean salmon on the yak. What is the rig settup you guys are using? thanks.

I'll be using...

 20-lb test main line--> Double Deep Six--->Watermelon Apex (4.5") re-tied with a 4 or 5 foot, 30-lb fluorocarbon leader.

Listening to the radio chatter this morning it sounds like the WMA is catching more and bigger fish that the other options.

I also have a small Kone Zone flasher, a few green RSKs, and a tray of anchovies in case the WMA isn't doing it.

I'll have a second rod rigged for mooching just in case there's bait/fish hanging outside the "no mooch" area.

Hope to see you Saturday morning! Dunk your head in the water first thing and it'll scare away that hangover

Can I get a roll call? Is anyone else going to make it out on Saturday?

Sounds like the bite has picked up again this morning at the whistle buoy after slowing down a little for the lady couple days.

Seems that some bigger fish are coming from near the bottom, and these fish are munching on a thick layer big shrimp.

The whole area is full of bait this morning.

Should be a great day tomorrow!

I ate lunch out on the point yesterday, and counted 108 boats out there !!!
Have fun out there guys,
Jeff

Yup, it's a zoo.

Somewhere between fishing and bumper boats.

Watch your sixes, guys...

Me plus one will be there in the morning Alex can't wait to meet Some of you so you all soon I'm out! Lol

How did it go fellas?
