Introduction

Hi All,
I’m Chris. I live in Flagstaff and Phoenix, AZ though I spent some years in the PNW and Bay Area growing up. I currently do most of my fishing in the Sea of Cortez or inland lakes but I try to get up to NorCal or Oregon/Washington once a year or so. I have a couple setups including a wilderness systems kayak, a 13 ft Zodiac, an older 70’s deep V fiberglass boat.

I’m headed to Bellingham, WA for a funeral and I’m planning a trip with my 5 year old daughter hoping to camp/fish a bit on the way up there. Taking the Zodiac since she will be with me and was considering either Bodega Bay or Shelter Cove to fish a couple days.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for either place. I’ve been to Shelter Cove once a couple of years ago and had a great time.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Chris, welcome 

Welcome, sir!

Welcome to NCKA Chris.   

Welcome, Chris

You might try Russian Gulch Campsite near Mendocino.  It is my favorite campsite.
If you have a beach cart, you can launch your Zodiac at the beach area.

Welcome to our community Chris  . I love Shelter Cove and highly recommend this place for both camping and fishing.
