#6840, "Pacifica Stripers and Salmon"

Thanks for the update. I was in Pillar point harbor last weekend buying some fresh salmon and the pier over there was elbow to elbow with people jigging up anchovies and shortbellies (small rockfish). Maybe the increase in bait in the area has brought in all the fish up close.

I live in Pacifica and recently tried Rockaway and Mori Point....but nothin'. What are all those salmon and strypers hitting? Topwater SuperStrikes? Hair-razers?

I was thinking about yak fishing at pacifica this saturday. I live in lodi so if there is anyone along the way that wants a ride drop me a line. I have a trailer so I can haul up to 4 yaks. 209 518-1194

I strongly agree with everyone's warnings about launching a yak in the Pacifica area, or for that matter anywhere in the ocean north of the Santa Cruz area.
At very rare times it can be like a lake in the Pacifica area, but this is unpredictable. Also be leary of the strategy of taking a yak there and planning to launch only if it is very calm in the early AM. You may get out OK but typically a stiff late morning or early afternoon wind kicks up and conditions can get very bad very fast for your hasty return.
About the only safe yaking in the area would be in Princeton Harbor, if you stay inside the harbor. (Princeton Harbor also has yak rentals.) There are stripers there, but they are rarely caught. Action can be better for halibut, but this too is spotty. Sometimes it is calm enough to venture somewhat outside the harbor for halibut, rockfish, or short lings (lings love swimbaits)at the tip of the breakwater (the one with the bell) but waves or wakes from speeding boats can crash a yak into the breakwater if you get too close (where, unfortunately, many of the fish are).
Be safe, not sorry.

I have never been to pacifica so I thank everyone for the warnings. I have heard of people going out of pacifica so I guess in theory it is possible but hard launches and landings are not worth it. Guess I will stick to monterey bay where it is almost always nice. Thanks for saving me a trip out there.
