I travel from San Diego to Northern California's Moss Landing at Monterey Bay and Shelter Cove in Humbolt in search of catching my first King (Chinook) Salmon from my Solo Skiff. In the end I'm happy to catch a some black rockfish, kelp greenling and a lingcod and the search for the Salmon will have to continue.
The drive from San Diego to Monterey is about 7.5 hours and I arrive in Salinas (The Salad Bowl of the World). I grab my Salmon mooching tackle from the Tackle Box and launch my Solo Skiff out of Moss Landing. After exiting the harbor I am greeted by California Department of Wildlife Officers who simply want to check out the Solo Skiff because the have never seen one before. After posing for a photo and saying goodbye I continue mooching the Soquel Hole in Monterey Bay but do not get bit or catch any fish.
I then drive 2 hours from Moss Landing Monterey to Moraga California where the house I grew up in is located. I sleep for a little before leaving once again in the middle of the night and drive 4.5 hours further north to Shelter Cove in Humbolt California's Lost Coast.
I arrive to a foggy morning Shelter Cove and prepare the Solo Skiff for it's maiden voyage out of Shelter Cove. I fish a 6 ounce banana weight to a leader with 2 barbless J hooks for trolling. I troll around both the green and red buoys and end up catching several large black rockfish, a kelp greenling and a lingcod. The wind then proceeds to pick up suddenly andI am forced to land and call it a day without any salmon.
Stay tuned for the next installment of Norcal 2020 trip and thank you for watching.
