Took the boat and new trailer for a drive today. Trailer with boat, tows
great. The UHMW bunks make winching the boat up easy. Launched at
Emeryville in to SF bay. Took a 10 mile run up to San Pablo Bay. Caught
one leopard shark of about 32" plugging with a Hairraiser. Bait fished
for
striped bass later for one missed run. Weather was fantastic. Shirt
sleeve
most all day, after a light fog in the morning. No wind. Came back at
about 30-40 mph except when I got in to an area of large wakes. The ferry
boat, and a couple tankers. The barges being pushed, seemed to generate
very little wake. Fishing as great, the catching lacked a little. Did
see
a few stripers landed by a party boat.

Good on you. I'm jealous.

Another week of rockcod (sebastes) and then season closed. Sad. We use to
have an overlap with crab season and drop the crab pots and go fish for
rockfish. Now it is Crabs and Dabs. (sanddabs). Like a little Dover sole.
Small but tasty. Crab season starts 11/7.
