Trinidad Saturday 8/31

Weather is looking good so far...thinking of do a 2 day trip if the wx looks good at the end of the day on sat. If you have never hit Tdad and you want to, this weekend should be good. Kris/elongatus and myself will take you on a tour if you want to join us?

If the wx and ocean conditions permits I would love to join you!!!!...not sure if either of my fisherman sons are game so I might come across solo. This will be only my second trip this summer and I need some salt thera :smt006py! I will check back for details. Anyone from the Northstate?

TigerFish, and Dave what time are guys leaving?  We will be leaving about 4am . 2 newbies with me, will probably stay close, maybe make the turn if they are up for it!

From Palo Cedro it takes me 3.5 hours so I may leave the night before and stay the night at the HoJo or try getting up early. If I leave by 4:00 am ...get there at 7:30 on water 8:00... I might want to get up eariler or just spend night.

We will more than likely leave Chico around 1:30 and get there around 5:30 or 6. Usualy otw by 7 or so? Codzilla there is some good fishing just around the head and a little bit out. Thats all for now will post up more as weekend gets close. Will have some Big hammers to give out on the beach before we all take off also!! 

 Jeff if you want to stay in close in protected waters you might try the south end of the harbor. Eric and Dominic fished there at Rock Fish Wars and did quite well. We went around the point and north and didn't do as well as them.

Thanks Gary, that's where Jesse and I fished Rockfish wars. My son will be fine healready goes out all day, iit's my buddy I worry about, only his second time in a yak, he is comfortable in it, I just don't know how far he can go. Still should be a great day on the water!

conditions do look nice,,,,,but i can not make that haul,,,,maybe next time
i'm sure the pics of the 20"Blacks are gonna make me kick myself for not making the haul.

Ditto.

Go get 'em, fellas!

Bring face and ear protection against Flatiron Flys. There are approximately eleventy billion of them per square foot out there. I use a bandana to cover ears, nose and mouth, otherwise they would crawl right in.

We try and stay away from flat iron and hit other spots, they were a pain on sat for the first half out then got better. If wx is good we are going as far north as we can and then drift or peddle back.

The drift was south to north today. Not strong.

Watch that south influence - it can be unpredictable and may turn the bite off.

Here's Eel River buoy this afternoon when it was supposed to be calm:

It wasn't bad for long since my buddies were running in from a 60 mile run for tuna and they were doing 20kts+
