HMB 4/23 rockfish...

4/23

Fished Half Moon Bay today, really calm in the morning.  No wind and things were looking good.  Waited a couple of hours before the fish started biting...  Caught one small ling, had a BIG ling stripping line that I never saw... spit the bait before I got him close enough to see I spose... and almost lost my crab trap (tangled on the bottom in rocks?!)... 1 small dungee that I tossed back and 1 rock crab that i kept . 

Ended the day w/ 1 ling, 1 cabby, and 1 greenling...  Beautiful weather... 

As schwarzanegeer would say...  I'll be back.....!!!

Looks like a nice day OTW!
I like ur Cabbie!
Good One Bro!

Nice!

Cool Aaron. Thanks for the photos and report! How many crab traps were you using? That sounds really slow if you didn't get any keeper dungies.

Thanks for the report

Super slow on the crabs... I soaked one trap for about 4 1/2 hrs...  Only one small dungee and the rock crab that I ate about an hour ago...  Yeah...  REALLY SLOW

Thanks for the report. Hopefully fishing at hmb picks up again. I’ll head out when the report is good. Nice cab u have there!

Good job Aaron. Thanks for the report.

Nice assortment! Thanks for the report.

thanks for the report -we have never been up there and have traps ready..no intel, no idea where to go but soon we'll do a weekend trip....lucky you get crab shallow....here its very deep-not really worth trying ...nice fresh fish there ..

Nice haul
Thanks for the post

Nice cab. Did you happen to see someone in an inflatable kayak? He had the audacity to backup his truck into one of the only 2 open boat ramp lanes to make it easier to retrieve his gear. He didn't seem experienced and was wearing shorts.

thnx for the report for hmb

bummer about the crab

HMB would be prime spot for a combo trip, crab/rf/salmon

might have to hit it up soon.

I saw Nudling’s comment and it made me wonder: What is the correct launchramp protocol there?

Nudling's a dick...he doesn't own the boat ramp!   

Based on what he's describing, seems like the dude wasn't all there if he was out at HMB in his shorts, then blocking up the boat ramp to load up an inflatable kayak, but thats just my opinion and I'm also a dick so...

Honestly though, whenever we are in a situation where boat ramp is the only launch option, its ideal that kayakers move their stuff to the side so that boaters can backup and get their boats out.  Especially if the kayakers are taking their time to load up their gear.
