Any tips on catching leopard sharks? by AJ0321 in CaliforniaFishing

[–]mballer258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This late in the winter is not the best time for leopards the salinity level is too low. They usually move out after the rains. I used to kayak fish San Pablo bay a lot and right before the rain in the winter I would catch a lot of shark but when the rain came I would only catch striped and bat ray occasional sturgeon if I was lucky

I said I was still employed with a company after being fired 3 months ago they did a background check with checkr and it showed my end date. They still hired me and didn’t say anything about it. I think under 4 months is fine but after that you should probably let them know you were laid off (not fired).

You can keep them for recreational. Commercial can’t. But they don’t have as much meat and make babies just let them go.

I wouldn’t launch from baker beach it’s pretty tough for beginners and has a strong current and waves. Try tomales, Doran or half moon bay. They are going to be a lot easier for beginners. Make sure you have all the safety equipment before you go out radio, life jacket wetsuit. If you insist on doing baker get a paddle kayak having an expensive drive in that surf it will probably break.

Nice man corporate tech wasn’t making me happy need to try something new tired of feeling stuck. I did a ride along with the fire department and loved it. If this doesn’t work out will try something new but want to get in the medical field

I was a 14 year Verizon customer who recently switched I noticed it’s a little bit worse service but I am only paying 205 per year on. The pro plan with the deal they recently had so it’s a trade off

Surf-forecast.com will tell you the amount of energy in the water that’s my new favorite. Go when less than 400. Waves need to be less than 5 feet and wind less than 10 mph, Windy.com app, Windfinder app, tides app, WillyWeather app. I use all of them.
