HKUP - HMB Thanksgiving Crab

I haven't been on the water since... September?  

I'm gonna get my feet wet dammit!  Anyway, my plan is to launch from the Old Pier on Thanksgiving morning.... shooting for being otw by 7.  Company welcome   

I'm in the same boat with you, haven't fish in a while and thinking of crabbing as well. Thanks

Was just about to post a hookup for Thursday or Friday morning.
What's conditions look like?  I haven't dropped pots at HMB before.  Been to Tomales, Bodega, Bolinas, and Muir plenty of times this month with a dungy here and there.  With all the good reports from HMB, I gotta go try now...

Easy peasy compared to Muir or Bolinas.

I see most launch there with a peddle yak...
Would you recommend me going with my OK Trident 13?  I'm reasonably okay with paddling a mile or two, but loaded with crab traps is going to be a slow haul.

Ive used my T13 there no issues. I have 3 conical on board. Its not that bad really.

Not a hard paddle but it's a bit of distance if you have pots. Rings, not so bad.

I've been out there crabbing on my T-15 a dozen times.

It's only an issue when the wind kicks in then it's a BIG issue.
You better know how to paddle for an hour non stop if so.
It's good exercise   

I was also planning on being there tomorrow if I can get out of bed.

Daddy duty kept me home.  Good luck you to guys who go out!

Gonna try to go tomorrow...

Gonna drop pots in Tomales or Doran for an overnight soak. Hopefully they’ll be there in the morning. Heard Doran at 40-50’ is productive. Will let you know tomorrow.
