Weather looks a little too rough for another kayak try on the 4th, but if the fish are still in the area, I don't want to miss out.

A few calls shows everything as booked, so I though I would check if anyone on the board has an inside track to anything out of Half Moon Bay, or advice on getting onto one last minute.  HMB is closest to me, but I will probably check other ports as well.  Prefer smaller boats with more of a DIY feel than the big party boats.

Anyway, let me know if you have advice or an inside track on spots on a boat.

Thanks!

For $150 you can sit in my tank well tomorrow. I won’t even make you purchase a $10 lead ball for every 22-inch fish that shakes the hook. :smt002

Kidding, of course. If you are up for a surf launch and less than ideal conditions, fishing should be good at Rockaway or Linda Mar.

LOL, oh man, this is one time I wish I had something other than a tandem island.  I guess I could surf launch just the main hull, but I doubt that would go well either

Best guy I know is Tom Joseph on the Sara Bella.  4-pack.  Fast, fun, and no-nonsense.  Fish On Sportfishing.  I reccomend him to all and everyone for salmon or tuna trips.

Thanks for the tips guys.

No surf launches for me yet.

Yes, the whole charter experience is kinda un-fun.  Had more fun not catching anything on my two kayak trips.
HMB Sportsfishing said they might be cancelling some of the trips tomorrow due to weather.
Seems like a good day to stay home and make plans for a Thursday HMB kayak try.

Will keep Tom Joseph and Sara Bella in mind for another day.

I was scheduled for one of the charters out of HMB tomorrow, but they're canceled due to weather (all the winds coming from the South).

I will be on channel 69. Hope to meet a fellow norcal yaker!
