Seven years ago my buddy put me in a yak.. and put me on the dinos at the fabled moth ball fleet..
After my first sleigh ride I was hooked.
Now my wife can't keep me out of the yak or off big blue.
I knew it was getting bad when she brought home a hobie oasis!

Wait!  She brought you home a Hobie Oasis?  You got a good wifey!

Ah, if its the same mothball fleet I'm thinking of I've spent several trips out there myself in earlier days and still have a step brother that fishes for those primitive fish frequently. Not much left of the fleet though as most have been sent to that big scrapyard in the sky. LOL

I'll give you a tip that might be useful for spring fishing if you don't know already. When the herring come into the bays to spawn, the sturgeon go bananas for that source of food. Those anglers who are exceptionally lucky enough to somehow  acquire herring egg skeins for bait do very well at that time of the year compared to the shrimpers. I've read that its almost a given you will catch fish. Unfortunately the Japanese love herring roe as caviar and up here in AK nearly all the commercially caught herring end up processed for the roe going to the Asian markets.

But perhaps sending a query to CA Fish asking where the herring are spawning each year in the various bays will probably put you on a high concentration of fish that know the timing and location of the herring. Just fishing those spawning areas with grass shrimp could provide some exciting Nantucket Sleigh Rides for you from one of those fabled 400 pounders.
