Report Tomales 5/14

Not used to getting up early but I need the practice for King season.  Launched at 7:15.  Headed to north of Hog and dropped 2 traps at 7:30.  Threw a swimbait and slow pitched a sardine jig.  No success with the halibut.  My chum chain got demolished by the rock crab.  I tried to picture a stingray gnawing on it and figured it out when I pulled my chain up and a dungee came up with it.  Looked like a keeper.  I shoulda brought my snare.  Oh well.

I saw a YouTube vid back in April of 2 dudes catching dungees and I could tell the location so there ya’ go.  2 traps, 3 pulls, 5 keepers and a rock crab with many 5.5’s thrown back. Kinda stoked cuz I put the gear away figuring it was over but I took it out again..  Side note.  Stealths aren’t made for crabbing for sure.

 

Not a bad haul.  Thanks for the report and pictures Eddie

Nice crabs, Eddie.
I am waiting for you to catch some halibuts at TB before I join you.

Nice work Eddie! 

Ha that's a hoot!

Just cleared out my chest freezer of crab bait yesterday.....bout 40#s worth into the green bin....thinking it was over.

Nice to have a cleaned out freezer but they took all day to pick up the bin and was getting a little worried I was going to have to sort out all the old fish parts at night and find an alternate recycling method....

Nice job on the crabs and thanks for the report Eddie!

How was the water temp looking?

Thanks Al.  In general I trying to combo fish is tedious at best.  Kinda torn between two techniques and different adjustments per species but hey.  Break out da buttah'!

Thanks all y'all.  See ya' on da wattah'!

Nice work Eddie 🤙.  Eat well!
