New here, live in Sebastopol (actually Graton) and fish locally including Petaluma River, San Pablo Bay, Tomales Bay, Bodega, Lake Sonoma, but most of my experience is in Baja/Sea of Cortez, from Cabo Pulmo on the East Cape, north to Punta Chivato near Mulege, San Lucas Cove south of Santa Rosalia, and Bahia de Los Angeles. Hoping to do a summer run to L. A. Bay this August if I have a partner. Have gone down single handed many times which is possible in Chivato and San Lucas where you can anchor out, but not in L.A. Bay where you must launch daily. I run an '86 Whaler Montauk 17 with an 80 hp Suzuki 4 stroke.
