Whenever I go to Shelter Cove I always make sure to gas up in Garberville at the Shell station before heading to the coast. Shelter Cove has a gas station at the General store but I have never used that one and not sure of the hours there.

On the way back I fill up again at the Shell station in Redway.

Then I'm good for gas for the drive back to the bay area.

It might be something to consider if it's your first time there.

Dude calm down your scaring everyone...

Double rainbow full on!!!!!

Conditions turned out better today than forecast at the cove.  Heard there was a good bite today, not many boats out but sounds like most if not all got their limits of salmon 12 to 20# range.

NOTE: Almost always best gas prices north of Santa Rosa are in Willits at Safeway (on right heading north).  It's not far north past Ukiah.  Heading out of Shelter Cove I always top off there as well as on the way back to the cove.  Sometimes near .50 per gallon cheaper.

I talked to one of the tractor drivers and sounds like they are not expecting to start launching till around 7AM Saturday so I'd shoot to be in the water before 7AM and avoid the circus.
