Had plans but have been thinking about it and decided that I would rather get runover by a boat another day.  I'm launching at the crack of dawn so I am slightly less likely to get hit..  That said a midnight launch is fun

Same here. RW will be better for boat traffic and for poach protection... Want to plan to go out together? Maybe do some fishing for filthys around Pedro as we soak pots?

We did the midnight paddling in Bodega Bay last year and it's a blast.  Haven't try this at HMB yet so not sure what kind of "circus" it will be there?

That was the plan, I might hit up baker beach in the AM AM with some friends from shore, but I should be at Rockaway and set up on the beach for day break.  I just need to get home and clean the connections on my FF.

When did you see this?  Thats a bit of an exaggeration.  I've been there for the openers and not that many boaters are running out at midnight.

That’s the honey hole right there but make sure you leave an extra 50 ft of floating rope on the surface on every pot
