Bean Hollow mostly we will hit the north side but depends on drift...

I might be in depending on WX, it looks like the winds and swell might be building a bit.

North of pigeon point show small craft advisory, south predicts calmer seas so it could go either way.

Last 2 weeks ago it was predicted to be as bad as it can get, when we get there it was like a lake...you wont know till your there..

I'd be game for joining this adventure, it cool for a newby to the group to join in, if so, where do you meet for the launch, bean hollow proper?

You will see a lot of cars around 7 usually, though Bean Hollow is not a recommended place for newbies....

Aqua,

I think what Darius means is BH is not recommended for those people who are not well prepared for open beach launch withoiut much of protection. I have personally launched there 3 times this year and 2 had one kayak angler flipped either during launch or de-launch.  But if u r willing, u r welcome to come along man

Darius,

I saw your pict with a nice halibut.

May I aske where and when did you get that good one?

I tried Berkerly a few times couple years back and gave up. I got no fishes but with plenty of vomitting even it was inside the Golden Gate Bridge.

No Problem bro, its just we emphasized on safety when someone mentioned newbie word, better than sorry, the weather was great even the wind and swell, just the fish wont bite, I caught a big Cabie, I had a Big Fish lost it somehow before I could see it, the only mishap was going I hit something my had got cut big, bloods all over, I ended up not taking any fish since no one can clean them..

@ Horsenecklover,
Thats a pacific Halibut caught up north Shelter Cove,  I never fished berkeley but I heard it pretty slow on HALI this goodluck!
