I can tell you for a fact that the total paddle to and from are going to be about 6 miles total. If you paddle from S.I. like I did on my B-day it will take about an hour to pick up bait at the Bait barge and then to paddle the rest of the way to the jetty, maybe a little longer but still it's worth the paddle. If you chart it to when the tide is going out and then when the tide is coming in it will make the paddling not so difficult. I wish I would have fished the jetty more when I was there but I chose to head back early. It's a good paddle but could be very fun with Calicos, Sandies, Halibut, and many other fun types.

I'll mark my calendar also. Now do you want to fish near S.I. or take all that time paddling to the jetty? In March the Halibut should be starting to really go on the chew and I know some spots close to S.I. that we can try. Let me know what you want to do and we'll plan for that.
