Moss Wed. 7/10/07

This hookup got started in Reports section: some action recently at Moss near the Jaws, wind and waves look good, I'm headed there on Wed. morning about 6. 

Here we are at the All-Star break and I'm batting 000 on salmon, 000 on halibut, 100 on lings, make that "ling", about 150 on rockies. Like every other player, I've got a bunch of explanations. 

I've never fished out there and am leaning towards making the drive, let ya know........Danglin

I'll do my best to make it. I'll check channel 69 if I make it. I have to do some canning tonight, the fruit won't last until I get back in a week.

UPDATE: I can definately can't make it. Look forward to report for my launch thursday.

This is very tempting. How far south is Moss from SC?
Hmmm...fish for salmon then head to work...decisions--decisions.

  What are they trolling or using for bait out @ Moss???

  I'm in.....

     Never been there, any hints on what to bring for gear or troll would be appreciated..

  See ya there...... (510) 374-9185  cell  .....Danglin

Moss is about a half hour south of Santa Cruz at 60-65mph. Look for the two giant smoke stacks, turn before them.
  The last I heard, it's trolling hootchies, purple haze (looks light pink to me)is popular, behind a purple or other flasher; as well as watermelon(WMA) or silver apexes, rotary salmon killers (RSK)and Franko Bullet Rotators(FBR)(to hold anchovy and spin it) .  If the fish are shallow, an apex behind an 8 oz banana sinker works for trolling.   As a sinker release, either the usual spring loaded one or a Fish Lazer flasher/ sinker release.  
   For mooching, I like to thread the anchovy with a long needle so the hook is near the head and it kind of hangs down.
  Bring a big net if you have one, and plenty of warm clothes/rubber: It's been overcast for several days, but it's not down on the water. Hope you can make it.

Hit some time constraints...

  need to stay more local...Hitting Point Reyes ....... Good Luck........Danglin

Tom, What time are you launching? Will be there at the crack of dawn earlier if need be. Frank

can you buy anchovies there in the morning?if so ill go.let me know

can someone pick up a extra tray of chovies ?ill pay you back

0.5hrs. south of SC. Too much driving for me, then I would have to rush to work in PA.
Hope you guys hook up big time.

I'm packed and loaded. assuming I can get up, I'll be there pretty early.
but have to be out of there fairly early too. got some work to do tomorrow.

not sure which side to launch from this year, haven't seen the new ramp,
only launched from the north side before.
