Sure just let me know the week before you leave so we can check the weather and all that take care.
Hi Jeramy I say its worth the effort when the bite is on. Don't forget its 35 MPH going over the hill on 17 when your towing a trailer or boat and its much safer these day. As for launching I think our harbor is pretty easy to navigate. If you decide not to bring your boat, we could always use mine. PS I am 100% DAV Naval Veteran. Nothing but respect to the Marines. Lets keep in touch. Take care.
We would be you and I or on occasion us if we have another person joining us. As for the gear, we purchase salt water gear specific to Rock fish, Halibut or Salmon according to this years regulations. I also jig for live bait which is the desired method for the Monterey Bay. Before we go I get the correct bait and gear at the bait shop. I tie my own leaders. Steel leaders are needed for Ling Cod, Shark, Halibut and other species. You can buy these leader premade as well. I recommend watching some videos on the various methods being used according to the species we are fishing for. I also downloaded the Fishing regulations since they have changed this year.
We fish for Rock Fish, Salmon, Halibut and other fish that are in season when we are fishing in the Monterey Bay. We use Salt Water gear and bait that can be purchased at the Harbor if you need it. If were fishing in the lakes we fish for Trout, Catfish, Croppies and Bass. If we fish on the Rivers we fish for Salmon, Steelhead, Strippers, Sturgeon, and Trout. We use freshwater tackle and sometime use waders when not in the boat.
I recommend heading out to Camanche Lake Reservoir South Shore. This is the local hot spot to fish for Trout and other species. You will have the opportunity to meet many local fishing buddies their who are familiar with the area and the best fishing methods to catch fish, cook your catch and hang out to share stories with fellow fishing buddies. Camping is available if you plan to stay. You are also close to three other great lakes and two rivers to fish in. Good luck to you.
Looking for fishing buddies who wish to go fishing in the Monterey Bay from April 1st through November 1st 2022. I own a 2021 185 Luxor Thrasher Jet Aluminum Fishing Boat. Must have a valid fishing license and share in the cost of fuel and bait etc. or about $30.00. If your interested please send me a email douglasmthomsonsr1@yahoo.com
