put in.....take out

ok so if I put in at clam gulch where would the take out be? Is this a two vehicle deal?

Also a stupid question needing answered

I don't have my dry suit yet  but if I wanted to solo out of Whitter for rock fish how far will I have to go and would I be reasonably safe?

My Yak is a Malibu Stealth 14

Thanks and BIG BAIT BALLZ FOR EVERYONE!!

Clam Gulch?  Hmm...I suppose it can be done.  Anywhere in the inlet its a tide deal.  Get carried one way, make it back when the tide changes.  Rarely will the currents be slow enough you can just go out whenever you like and make it back. 

Take a look at my site that explains a little bit about the tides in Cook Inlet at:

Stay home until you have immersion gear. Getting on the water sooner isn't worth it if you're dead.

Small non-pelagic rock fish can be caught relatively close to the end of the bay,  but to target the larger yellow eye,  i fish from the rookery to Poe bay. Depth varies with barometric pressure. I have caught them as shallow as 65 feet, but this part weekend, i didn't catch one shallower than 300 most about 350. But water temps are 45° so i highly recommend waiting for a dry suit.

Wtf... I was thinking "that's what she said" when I read the title
 WAIT FOR YOUR DRYSUIT !!!
WE DONT WANT TO READ ABOUT YOU ON THE NEWS!

I'm still trying to get a dry suite. My set up right now is a nice pair of   neoprene waders with a wader belt and a dry top. And a Pfd with my spot or  Radio on me at all times

Two springs ago when the lakes just got ice free I went out and tested my set up in cold calm water. Turned my kayak over swim for 5 mins tried to get back in. I was fine. Then I went back in the water for 10 Min's free floating and tried to get back in was still in then I tried 30 Min's same thing was fine I found the  neoprene waders  Float  even when a little water gets inside.

Went back the next day and tested polyurethane waders I found you don't  Flote as much as the neoprene waders and body temp went down faster but still better then not wearing any thing

So a month later I was working out in moose pass on a weekend I  went to Seward and tested the neoprene waders on a rainy windy day with a boat on stand by I found I would be OK with my set up and can self  rescue with waders


My point is you should do test runs in controlled  setting so when it becomes real you know what to expect. if your from anchorage and would like to go out on a lake one day any weather and test your gear will be more then happy to tag along.

 

I agree with the guys about the dry suit. There are a lot of people that do the wader deal and it may work for them. I have seen to many people fighting hypothermia dipping at the rivers that took water over the top. Once your wet in Alaska the clock starts ticking to get dry. I don't want to chance getting wet an hour from shore and my trip is over if I do. With a dry suit you go swimming and keep fishing. No issue. If the cost of a suit is the issue, contact me. May have an answer for you.
