Hobie Island Half Moon Bay Crab and Sail - Saturday 11/10/12

Count me in will this be a beach launch or boat ramp.

PatR

It is a beach launch but the sand part is wet packed so the plug in cart might work. I back my car onto the beach to load and unload and don't use a cart. It is about a 100' carry/drag. I am going to try my plug in cart to shorten the AI rigging time.

Where's HMB?   Have fun people.  I'll stick to Sonoma County.

It's actually in Pillar Point Harbor in El Granada; which is a small town in Half Moon Bay. They will be launching right next to Half Moon Bay Kayak Rentals (shown below)

Well the WX is 8-12 kt with a mixed swell 6/2. Decent sailing conditions. So far:

1. Scott (AI)
2. Pat R (AI)
3. Ray (AI)
4. Mike G (AI)
5. Martin N (A)

Maybe
1. Ben (AI)
2. Eric (AI)
3. Steve S (AI)
3. Danny (AI)

Let's go for a 7 AM launch. I will guide you to the crab place then take
You to RHE reef. I may not fish because someone needs to guard the pots and I will be short soaking.

Shore lunch at 12 PM at the kayak area. I'll be grilling hot links.

Having never attended one of these adventures, not sure how the pot luck goes, but I will bring cheese, bread/crackers and olives.  Maybe staying with the theme, olives stuffed with anchovies.

What about paper plates, cups, etc.?

I am also assuming it is OK  to park in the grassy area next to the launch site.

After unloading at the grassy area I park my car in the lot next to the restaurant across the street. Sometimes they let you park there but last year they hassled me so I unload then move my car.

Well I just checked in and now it's down at HMB. Think I'm going to stay local. They weren't catching crabs in close, but when you go out deeper they are doing fine. Last time I was out there I wished I had my sonar with me and a rod. I saw some positive signs of bait and good brown water. Have fun boyz.

Will the Crabs be up at 7AM tomorrow morning, its Saturday?

My son soccer team didn't win the play off game last night so they doing the end of season trophy and pizza Saturday at 11 am. Have fun tomorrow everyone and hope you all do well
