I think my plan is to pony up the $10 and launch at the boat dock early morning. Planning on trolling a rapala out to the point and then using live bait and hookups around that area.

Generally speaking the wind will come out of the NW 9 days out of 10 so if you can make it to the 'point' or near the red can, then you will get blown back to the harbor no problem so don't let a little afternoon wind deter you from going out.

Great info here. I’m also going to start fishing Dana a lot.

I usually launch from the ramp, $10 is fair. It is close to the harbor entrance and usually not too busy.

I'm hoping to get out this Monday and possibly Tuesday if you want to meet. I usually head south but have been north as well.

I have never used the boat ramp. But I would be lying if I said I didn't wish I had every time im paddling back the whole length of the harbor to baby beach against the afternoon wind. Maybe one day.

I'll be out there Monday early early AM in a blue tandem Hobie if anyone wants to paddle out with us. Launching from the boat dock.
