Red barn.. needs.

Hey guys, so this will be my first time to these waters and event. What kind of packing do i need to do as far as tackle, clothing, etc.. I just don't want to be short handed on some good fishing. Thanks.

First sturgeon on my yak..

Whats up Chuwy4! cant help you there since im a newb myself and never been up to the fishing spot. I do know that the bro and sis here will chime in to give the 411. Nice sturgeon by the way, I really wanted to go to this one and meet some of the gang but Im a tad late so next time I guess.

Chuwy4,
Bring you positive vibe personality the rest will follow
I would recommend rockfish rigs jigs etc, also you need wet suit
In venturing out in open sea, list all what have and we will chime in what else you need, I can bring my wetsuit if you fit 57 ... Let me know thanks

sign ups day before for tourney...only thing your late on is shirts/hoodies that needed pre orders...

main thing is cold water submersion=wetsuit, VHF very important...I wear mine around my neck...have been knocked off my yak before...if I hadn't preformed a self rescue and if I'd been separated from my yak...I had chance to call for help...buddy system when your new is important anything can happen and does...and buddy system all the time is the funniest!!!  Fishin with your bros is the only way to roll!!!    flares, mirror, horn, whistle, gps, compus...list goes on and on... better prepared for the worst case scenario I would say...  Have fun be safe... and go out and "Get SOME"

bring food or drinks for the pot-luck....

Darius,
Ive never tried a wet suit on. but im 5'10 and about 180lbs. It would be awesome if your brang it along for me to try(use if i fit the size 57) Now i can definately bring some bruskies and food. Will there be a grill on site? Now i dont have any rockfish jigs but Ill try and find some..
Thanks for the help guys, I know ill have fun.

My advice is to rent a wetsuit and practice self rescue before you hit the salt.
A wetsuit is very restrictive. It can be a bit overwhelming for some being so restricted in your movement. At the very least try one on in a rental shop so you know what you are in for.
There are plenty of threads on this site about safety equipment and how you should dress for cold water immersion.
Have you fished in the ocean before??

Tote is right.  If you don't have a place you go to for dive supplies, I would recommend Steele's on telegraph in Oakland for a rental wetsuit.   They usually have enough wet suits to go around,  and the pricing is the best.   Check their schedule before going.

you guys are right, i have fished out in the ocean but never when its been cold.

Chuwy , ill call u tommorow , I got ur text but I was acting a donkey at the raider game
