Good luck

When I referenced the second subset of tidal data I noticed that it just was not right. If you add the negative tide and the wind coming from the west/east direction I don't think you will have any water flow.

I would wait for a better day conditions wise. No reason to do that place on such a difficult day.


If you do go out, good luck.

why stop at LB, lets go all the way to HB...














































oh wait Im working thursday.

I can assure you that you WILL NOT follow that path and your 8.47 mile trek will be something closer to 10miles (+/- 5miles). As soon as you get past Pier 400 you will see so much open water and its likely that you will want to fish it all. Another thing to consider is the fact that windfinder is correct about 1% of the time, the tides are usually accurate but the winds are always off by 5kts or so (+/- 10kts). Don't trust the wind reports, the winds can change without notice and if you're not prepared you'll be calling the USCG for help.

Ok this can wait for another time guess i wont be doing it Thursday. And Matt, what do you mean about no water movement? Will this effect just fishing inside the harbor too? I guess ill be wanting to fish the whole place around once i see all the open space, it wont stop with just one pass through. We got to schedule one of these though that really would be a great halibut trip.

Matt, I dont want to sound like a know it all, but I think you forgot to calculate Curvature of the Earth in your diagnosis...:cool: Other than that its flawless..;)

Matt, Matt, Matt...don't be so...negative:

"negative tide and the wind coming from the west/east direction I don't think you will have any water flow."

When you're lucky enough to have found such a situation, drop in the side scanning, sonar image high def thingy (ask Ful-rac) and hover over a very large halibut. Keep dropping everything (including the kitchen sink) until that puppy has been caught...duh.

I knew everyone could tell that the conditions were horrible based on those charts. I did some more research and discovered that some of the water contains salts and many boulders in the break wall are granite! Granite people!

We all know you can't catch fish in those conditions. I'm sure the situation will improve soon. Until then stay home and rewire a bait tank or sumtin.

:D

Geez I didnt know going fishing was so friggin complicated....I guess ive been doing it all wrong...less fishing more online research....Got it!:cool:

Would you guys really be down to do this if weather permits?

Yeah, this may be a fun one way trip. The winds would usually push you in the right direction. It's just a matter of arranging car shuttles.

Get it organized.:D

We can unload the kayaks at cabrilo and have someone stay there then go park the cars at the drop off point and have one or two cars go back to cabrillo and start the trek down. How about we do this in May?

set it up.

A more realistic map but i think we are going to be doing 14-15 miles.http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4ccfa12d.png
Theres parking by belmont pier but they open at 8. Any insight on parking landwhale and Ed? http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...psda6bdce6.png

I think you should really reconsider your route, crossing LB harbor might not be the best place to try a Paddle fest, when is Memorial day again? There was some talk of Dana Point to San clem maybe dig up that thread, or try a Cherry or Seal beach to Bolsa. Im all for long distance fishing and have done the two oil platforms off of dog beach in HB but that took lots of planning and we had a support boat in hunting Harbor come get us when we were half way in, we probably did close to 14 miles for some sandbass and cuda! :banghead:

Would there be too much boat traffic in the harbor? That dana to clemente trip is on another forum they did 11 miles on that trip. Or we can do another ultimate halibut trip around the oil islands. Maybe a trip around PV?

I think this is the thread buskid is talking about

I'm still planning to do this trip. It was put on hold on my end since the wife finally decided to sell the house and move. Living with the mother in-law now and my kayak is in storage till we move into the new house.
