Conditions check up for HMB 9/14?

Would early morning launch and head back in before 11 be okay conditions to fish in?

The forecast (WNW Swell ~4ft, wind under 10mph) looks good. Potentially a little wind in the evening.

Bring your sunscreen!

   Are Salmon still on the menu?    I havn't heard any reports yet.

JamesM just posted a report for HMB this week.  Looks like it's about to turn back on. 

Genghishan, that's usually the case for conditions at HMB.  Early launch and fish until the wind picks up.  Pay attention to the forecast and be ready to move back in quickly.  The gusts can come up quick and can kick your ass if you have to paddle/pedal into it.  Then, in late afternoon/evening, the wind usually settles back down. 

Anyone trying HMB tomorrow?  Conditions don't look flat, but looks doable.

I still could not find any site with good predictions for HMB, 4-5 @ 9s could easily become washing machine (but should be very doable anyways).

One thing is certain - wind always starts at about noon

And - don't forget about King's Rock. I'm surprised how many people I meet (including fishing close to it) now aware of it

I'm seeing the same swell data as you; I'm going to give her a go anyway.  hopefully not another fruitless effort

I will be giving it a try tomorrow 9/14. Yellow Eddyline channel 69

I'll be on the water around 7AM, will be on Channel 69

Anyone get any this morning? Saw a couple boats bringing in chrome halfway to the first green can, and saw another at the green can. Not even a scratch for me and my dad though. The thick fog and rising swell got us spooked so we headed in early around 1030.

Skunk for me and my bud.  We stayed out until 1230.

Ah man that sucks! 

Just a bunch of croakers for me today. Trolled crippled anchovy’s until noon then switched to rock fish for nothing. Wife gets mad if I come home empty handed so I kept 2 of the croakers for tonight’s dinner.

It was nice seeing fishbushing, plankton, and jkjhung out there as well. Cold, foggy, and bumpy all day.

I caught the biggest jacksmelts ive ever seen, but no chrome. Would have rather skunked and not had to deal with the tease hahah

Thanks for the pic Mark! I’ll probably be out out there again next Saturday. Patiently waiting for the hmb bite to turn on.
