Epic day on the water. Launched at Berkeley Marina, drove out past the Golden Gate Bridge into the Pacific Ocean to drop crab pots for Dungeness Crab. While they soaked we went fishing at Angel Island for Halibut but only caught a rock fish. We quickly went to Paradise Cove area to pick up two halibut. Next we went back to the ocean near Point Bonita for rock fish. We used live smelt the whole day for bait. In the ocean I put the underwater GoFish Cam camera and got some cool footage of lingcod. After 30 minutes we picked up the crab pots and found lots of nice jumbo Dungeness Crab.

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

thanks for checking out the video. If you are curious about the depths google, sf bay depth chart. 1st or 2nd link is a great map showing all depths, I found it very interesting. Below bridge is over 200+ feet. I was in 50-100 feet. Hope you enjoyed the video? Thanks again.

Yo ChrisP, love the channel! Have you ever snorkeled or spearfished? Since you like using the camera, you might like getting down there and looking at things up close...

@outdoorfreedom9778 4 года назад

First the snag, would have been great if you had the tag end and were able to pull up a good pot? As long as you didn't lose the camera! I always like to see the underwater footage, it shows how the fish bite and that's a big help. Thanks for the vid, I'm going nuts up here in the hills!!

@ChrisPfish2 Год назад

It says the day it was posted on youtube, i release them 3-8 days after i go as it takes time to edit. I dont post the dates because if it happened yesterday its old news to fisherman, which will turn into less views. Thats why. Thanks for watching and the comment

@hikiula 4 года назад

Thank you for the attachments. What in the attachments tells you the tide will be slower? Very educational videos!

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

Happy you enjoyed it, thanks for checking out my videos! Good question, you can tell the tide is slower by subtracting low tide from high tide and dividing by how many hours. So if low is 1, high is 4 over 6 hours you got half(0.5) a foot of water moving in a hour, thats slow. fast is low 0, high 6 in 6 hours. 1 foot per hour. The graph in the pic illustrates it as well, the black line doesn't move up as high on the chart. Current is faster when more water is moving. hope that helps?

@hikiula 4 года назад

@@ChrisPfish2 It helps! What is the fastest tide or current (?) you would go out fishing for Halibut? Thank you for the education.

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

@@hikiula I would say under 0.75 a foot per hour is nice. The tide is never going to keep me from going though if the weather is going to be great.

@gfrerking 3 года назад

Hey, random question for you - is there any Dungeness upstream of the Carquinez Bridge? Is it worth trying? I'm in the Sacramento area and looking for possibilities closer to home. I'll likely head out past the GG Bridge like you did sometime... I'm glad to see that you don't have to go too far out for results, although I do have the range to (theoretically) hit the Farallon Islands. I'm still very much getting the feel for things in this area.

@ChrisPfish2 3 года назад

you can only keep dungeness crab caught in the ocean, not the bay, so it needs to be outside the GGB. They like salty water too. Thanks for watching and good question.

@gfrerking 3 года назад

@@ChrisPfish2 Thanks for the quick reply! I'm not sure if it's new/different since I've been away from CA for a long time (I was born in Concord)... but by my read, the Fish & Game regs ban Dungeness specifically in SF and San Pablo Bay. The Carquinez Bridge is mentioned as a boundary... that's why I asked. You're right about the salty water though... it might not be salty enough. IDK? Maybe a good experiment for you? Check it out!

Dude you cannot zip tie the traps fish and game will nail you for that they have to have rot cord

@CaptainPatP 4 года назад

I use a small black cotton thread to tell if the trap has been opened. Poachers don't notice it as it breaks easily and It rots quicker than the rot cord in case the pot is lost.

@OldManAndTheSea 4 года назад

It’s illegal to ziptie your crab pots closed in case they become lost then they become a fishing trap a zip tie defeats the purpose of the rot cord which all traps are required to have as of 2019 season.
