Hello fellow fisherman
I wanted to see if there would be interest in chartering a boat, either from Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz etc. to do some fishing along the coast. Of course, more than the fishing it will be about getting to put faces on the posts on the site and show off some reels!. Crab season is coming up, so we can make it a combo charter so its more appealing to folks. The idea will be to make it happen before New Years. I am pretty sure if we get 10+ people our share on the expenses will be more than reasonable. There are plenty of boats around. The ones I have in mind are the Huli Cat and the Ankeny street of HMB. Not too familiar with the Santa Cruz/Monterey Scene, so any suggestions are welcome!
What do you guys think?
Thanks
Juan
Juan a crab combo on the Huli Cat might work for me. Let's see how much interest this post generates. Dominick
I might be up for this, keep us posted on any developments.
Someone book it, I'm in!!!
Nov. 4, Crab Fishing in SF Bay Area will open.

I am thinking the Huli Cat, The Ankeny street only runs fri-sun.
Will call Tom and Chris tomorrow to see if they are already running combos.
And yes David there is still room. Will so a head count and poll tomorrow.

I name drop Alan Tani when I talk to anybody. ;D
even do it when he's standing next to me! ;D
tell tom i said "hi."
Pick the date soon I may have to arrange cover at work.
Hello everyone!
Weather permitting, How does Dec 4 sound to you? That is a Monday. Dec 3rd (Sunday) its another possibility, but lets start with a Dec 4th head count and see how many folks want to come that day.
Please let me know replying with a YES, your name and number of spots you might want . I can start the official headcount then. Once we have 10+ YES I can start calling and name dropping Alan's name :).
Again, this will be for a charter rockfish/crab combo, likely around the San Gregorio/Pigeon Point area. We will be departing from Half Moon Bay
Thanks
Juan
crud, can't make it. i'll be in pv.
Monday the 4th is good for me ;D ;D
Mike
I'm going to say I can make that.
i'm calling in sea sick that day!

I'm back from PV on Dec 5th, available from the 7th to the 15th. Don't let that hold you back.
Hi Bryan
Yes 10 will be ideal, thanks so much for the headcount. I think we have 9 now. Can we get more people committed if we move the date to the 7th? That way we will have 10 for sure (Alan will be able to join)
Juan
7th works for me too.
steve
7th could work for me too. Just gotta know as soon as possible because my wife is working on that day.
I'll find a way that make the 7th work also.
The 7th is no good for me... :(
I can do the 7th
Jack
Let me say this now; Good luck guys!!
And looking forward to an after-action report!
Bryan: Please add me for the 7th as well.
I can also fill in one or two spots with family.

What is wrong? It does not get any better. Wife working husband fishing. The 7th will work for me. Dominick
I might be able to do the 7th, is there a word on cost?
Hi Guys
Sorry I have been silent, work gets in the way :)
At first sight it looks like we are at least 10 people.
In terms of costs here is the breakdown
Private charter:1800 usd for crab combo for 20 people max
Open party (though we will be taking 10+ spots): 135 ud
The prices do not include tip.
Working out the Math, we need 13 people to charter the boat and get the same rate as the open party, unless folks are interested in paying a little extra.
Please PM me with your name and number of spots by Monday. The boat seems available for that date, I will call Tom tomorrow afternoon to put the boat "on hold"
Thanks
Juan
Hi Juan,

Sorry, I have a meeting on 12/7 that I can't miss.
Hello there!
I am on travel until the 29th, so checks will be hard until then. Are you guys ok sending money through paypal? For those who don't have a paypal account, you can send checks to
Juan Lezama Pacheco
143 Beaumont Blvd
Pacifica CA
Paypal: jlezamap@gmail.com.
So far I think we are at $150 pp. If anyone else needs to be added or taking out to the list please let me know ASAP.
Thanks
Juan
paypal sent. thanks for taking care of this. i will be on the hulicat tomorrow and will say hi to the skipper!
Thanks so much Alan! To the others interested, please make sure you send your money by 11/23 (two weeks prior)
I will update the list this afternoon, it getting real!
Juan
I'm in. Paypal sent. Dominick
Successful trial run!
Cooked!
The foodie chef.
I do like the custom snorkel!
here are some videos from yesterday's trip on the hulicat with the southside angler's club. this will give you a look at the boat. we fished shallow water off pescadero, then pulled crab pots and got 10 crab each. figure the crab you buy fresh off the boat at half moon bay will be $15 each. the ten dungeness crab you go home with will pay for the trip easily!

Money sent I'm in for the trip. Bryan I am working on your Hawaiian linguisa it's should be in the smoker by tomorrow. I had to tweek the recipe because the one I had wasn't close enough to the linguisa flavor I wanted. Sweet, spicy and a touch of heat.
Mike

Thanks Juan, I'm in.

Hi Everyone
I wont be able to make it, as I have an important meeting with uncle sam. But we are still a go! Alan graciously contacted the skipper and made the arrangements, thanks Alan.
We are confirmed on the Huli Cat for Dec 7th, I am assuming a 6 am departure from Pillar point harbor in Half Moon bay. I will be sending the money to Tom Matush tomorrow. David, you mentioned you had you plus two, but I did no see your money on my paypal. Did you send it through that route? otherwise do you mind checking?
To all other folks THERE ARE SPOTS LEFT! Dont miss the opportunity to join the (possibly) annual Ohana crabby fishing trip!
Thanks
Juan
Yes I sent it as a gift 450.00 I'm going to check paypal now.
It is showing sent 11-22 and as pending because jlezemap@gmail.com has not accepted yet.
Let me know if there is any issue, maybe I typed your account wrong?
I hear concrete trucks behind me, time to get back to work. I will check back in around 4:00.
Ended up working until 6:00 man is it cold out this evening.
Paypal says the payment went through so I'm gonna assume we're square and all is good.
Got it corrected Juan, I misspelled your account name. It's corr Ted now and you should see payment in your PayPal account. Glad you caught it!
Ok guys
As of today I have gotten money from
David (3x spots)
Daniel (1 spot)
Ed (1 spot)
Mike (1 spot)
Steve (1 spot)
John (2x spots)
Dominik (1 spot)
Alan (1 spot)
Danny (1 spot)
Please let me know if I am missing anyone
We still have spots left but we have the price covered (1800 according to the website https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/hulicat/items/65372/calendar/2017/11/?full-items=yes ), any extra spots will only lower the price. Better send me some pics!!
I am planning on taking the money to Tom on Saturday afternoon
Thanks so much
Juan
I don't understand, if the charter fee is covered then we have the whole boat? If other anglers come along then we get refunds? How's this work?
HI David
Yes that is correct. Once the cost for the charter price is covered then you will all get a refund, on the order of 5 to15 bucks
Juan
Thanks for doing this Juan!
Is there a way to close off the boat and keep it less crowded?
Steve
X2
I think we can pretty much close it now, but the boat is big enough not to be crowded, so no shoulder to shoulder. I am closing it with 18 people.

Sounds like a great plan Juan. Thanks again for setting this up.
Now, can you help with the weather?
Juan thanks for setting this up. I am not going on this trip. It won't be pleasant. I am a wimp when the wind forecast is for rough conditions. The forecast from the National Data Buoy Center is:
THU
E winds 10 to 20 kt. Wind waves 2 to 4 ft. NW swell 3 to 4 ft at 14 seconds.
I don't do well in these conditions. I am sorry to miss out and to spend time with the members. Dominick
I got someone to fill another spot. One of my coworkers Chris would like to go.
I can send PayPal over to you or can he pay at the dock?
Hi Dominick
Actualkly forecast does not look bad at all
Thu
E winds 5 to 15 kt. Wind waves 1 to 3 ft. W swell 3 to 4 ft at 14 seconds and S 3 ft at 14 seconds
This is from the NOAA website
http://marine.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=mtr&zmx=&zmy=&map_x=157&map_y=184&x=157&y=185
So this are actually great drift conditions!
Let me know if you are still up, otherwise I will send you your money back
Juan

Hi Guys
We are set to go! Two days left, feel free to bring your fancy dandy rords and reels and all the jigs you might want. The Halfmoon Baty store has flies and weights (boat has some at decent prices but I believe a little more expensive) 4-8 oz will do but I would take a 10 oz just in case.
Please go to dock H. Is the last dock on the pier. Then enter your left and find the huli cat, it has a green hull and sometimes a pirate flag so it is hard to miss.
If you are taking an extra person that you haven't paid for, please bring cash to the boat (15). There are 18 spots (waiting for 5 to be filled up on the day of the charter)
I wont be there, sadly, but I will send a check to Alan in order to pay for the trip
Let me know if you have any questions
Juan
You can find squid at the HMB store and even better... there is a bait vending machine!
Also, David B. please call Alan ASAP, need to confirm!
Good luck and tight lines!!
Juan
ok, i've spoken to everybody. we have to be on the boat at 6am sharp, best to get a box of squid if you plan on using bait, and we're all set with 11 guys. dominick gets a refund. all set!
Thanks Alan!
Going fishing in the morning!!! Not gonna get any sleep... it's all good ;D ;D ;D
steve
Got my gear all ready to stuff in the bag. Lunch in the cooler, bait in he freezer. See you all there.
Hi Alan
Could you un pin this? I think this happened 2 years ago...
done!
