I took a group of friends and regular customers to look for rockfish and lingcod down the coast to Point Reyes.
The sea was calm again today and conditions were good for trying the 20 to 30 fathom spots, but we caught only one keeper lingcod after many stops and then spent the afternoon catching limits of nice bottomfish on squid-baited flies. We took about 20 coppers and a dozen vermillion rockfish, and released about that many canary and yelloweye rockfish. The rest of our limits, for all eight aboard, were browns, blacks, blues, and china rockfish.
A few pics from todays trip:
These are the good ol' days

Hi Vince
I am going to hit the Shad at San Luis this weekend, which I haven't done in a long time. It made me think of you.
I'm getting into Kayak fishing these days. The sport is really growing fast. With all the regs and restrictions, I know things are difficult for fishermen these days. They do it in So. Cal but there is not much in the way of Kayak motherships up north. There is one guy in Monterey who does it with friends and I thought you might be interested in how he rigged his boat - see link -

Check out NCKA.org
In five years they have gone from 20 members to well over 2000. There is definitely a market here you might be interested in tapping into.
Best wishes
Kirk
