July 4th Salmon Scout - BODEGA IT IS!!!!!

I would be interested in knowing what NOAA site you are using Alex? Below is our usual go to site...
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS56.KMTR.html

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=38.28293006703911&lon=-123.04481506347656

It's the point forecast. Start at weather.gov, and keep clicking in on the area of interest. This gives a more detailed forecast targetting small areas.

Thanks Alex...book marked.

You got it!

Looks like there will be a decent showing of kayaks on weds and thurs. Hope we find 'em!

Will try to be there as many days in a row as my body and wife will let me..see you otw.....

Kick some pink ass you guys.  I'm looking forward to your reports and I have a napkin at the ready to catch my drool.

I'm listening in on the Coastside radio chatter this morning. Sounds like they're still catching them near the whistle buoy.

Hope this mornings NCKA crew's finding them!

Boats coming in with limits already! Right around the whistle buoy.

Forecast has soured a little... They're calling a small craft advisory, but point forecast near the Head still has the wind pretty mild. I guess its that swell that's doing it.

Might be a little sloppy, but I'm still going. If it gets TOO bad, I'll move in near Doran or in the harbor and chase flatties.

I use this http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/bodega_bay

it has been pretty good . Sunday looks like the day Ill be going.

That's very different from the NOAA point forecast. Guess there's only one way to find out!

There's a possibility I may be camping at Doran this weekend, do Saturday may be possible.

is that fri/sat forecast correct? i thought it was supposed to be nasty, but it looks perfect.

Yeah, the windfinder forecast does not match NOAA.

We'll see!

Alex, I put 60 fish in two days on my boat just outside the harbor last week. Not WFO, but a decent bite. I think the fish are hanging out there. Good luck.

Nice!!! Thanks for the heads up. Did you get any near the jingle bell buoy?

Seems like the fleet is mostly hanging near the whistle, but I wouldn't mind avoiding that crowd if I can find fish elsewhere.
