I've been in that situation before, also in bodega bay. Wind picked up to 20 mph in an instant. Your video footage looked exactly like it, you just have no control over where you are going. Fortunately it went as quickly as it came but for about 15 minutes I also considered calling the coast guard. Scary stuff glad you're alright!
Hi can you tell me what size for the rod and reel that you used in the video to able to handle for crabing ? it is heavy rod ? how long for the rod ? what pounds for the lines and what kind of the reel ? Please ! Thank you very much I am just a beginner and want to learn from your video experience !
You want to use 10ft and above surf rod. Depending on your casting abilities. Myself, I use 12 and 13 ft surf rod. My reels are from 6500 to 10000. I use 30lb to 50lb braid. The lighter the line, the farther you can cast. Hope this helps. Have fun!
