Da' Cove

With the conditions we are having no self respecting kayak angler should have any excuse to not be on the water, me included. With that in mind, Wdwrkr and I headed north, not to Alaska, but to Shelter Cove.
The conditions weren't great the whole time, but if you spent your time on the water you were sure to get what you came for, weather-wise and angling-wise.
The place is a gem in our backyard!
The pics tell the story.

That's a long lookin' ling!  Nice one.   

I miss that place already!  Nice catches guys.  Thanks for the report and pictures.

Juan... you killed it man. Judging by your smile, you had a great day.

GD, Juan that ling looks longer than 30". I fished Lake sonoma tonite trying for that damn smallie upgrade before rockfish. No love. Shoulda gone north. Good job on the call to fish. What? You 2 dont have jobs or what?

strong work as always Juan!
now I see why you havnt been over here froggin

Terry? Should I be froggin?
Been thinking about it.

Here are a couple more pics, when the ocean lays down like it did you just have to go we had a mission to fulfill in more ways than one. To catch three species of fish and fill our larders for the coming months ahead. I have not fished the cove since they quit renting skiffs it didn't disappoint then and it didn't now.

Most excellent fishing!!!   Was it a day trip? looks like it was worth the drive...

Mako1 how long a drive from willits to "Da' Cove" ???

and once again...NICE....

Sledge, we spent 2 1/2 days there, about 20 hours on the water.
It's 100 miles from Willits, just under a two hour drive.
I saw black cod busting on bait topwater!
We also made friends with West, a newcomer to yak fishing.

going to have to make "that trip" bait busting top water...hell yeah...

Thanks great report...

Sweet. Good job, fellas.

A quality outing fellas!! WTG

This may be the first time I've ever wished I lived in Willits haha. That's a nice short drive to the promised land from there. You're lucky Juan. And something tells me you'll be spending more time there this season. Yeah, I'm just jealous.

That is just awesome Juan. WTG on the nice haul bro. I love that place.
I can't wait to be there for next years get together.

Congrats to you too wdwrkr. Nice verms.
