when are you heading out?

The wind forecast doesn't look too promising...I was hoping to get out this weekend, but not too sure now. Sunday looks a bit better....but wind forecasts seem to be pretty erratic.

^ can you tell me where to get the wind forecast?

we are headed out Saturday at 6am. gate has been dummy locked for months now. Was thinking sunday but im seeing T-storms for that day.

[Yakinzak]

I stand corrected! the weather report i just checked matches with what you said! so sunday it is!

[YakCapn]

Cool! I'll plan to be there Sunday as of now. Its an hour drive for me to get there...so to get there before 7am may be a bit of challenge

what's an ideal wind speed for kayak fishing? i know the lower is better.

[YakCapn]

0! Anything under 5 is good in my opinion. Once it gets to about 10 or 12 the choppy waves start on the open bay and anything above that is a no go for me, I'll look for protected rivers.

Looks like it'll start heavy then calm during the day. Most likely in if it keeps the same shape, too much wind and I'll tire from paddling all day. :-{(

Hello all,

Have a great time launching out of Beverly-Triton on Sunday. Please land at Mayo Beach Park for a rest break and explore this gorgeous park. Mayo Beach Park is what Beverly-Triton *used* to be - a public county park that is only open to the public with an expensive launch permit. We're trying to change that unfair situation. There's a Public Open Day at Mayo Beach on Sunday 5/17/15 from 11 am to 6 pm as part of that effort.

Mayo Beach Park is about a mile north of Beverly-Triton. Go left when you launch. You may have paddled right by it and not known you were passing a public park. Mayo has the same off-shore stone groins as Beverly-Triton, a big enclosed pavilion and other buildings on the hill behind the beach, a childrens playground and picnic tables on the grassy lawn and under the shade trees.

Thank you

Lisa

I am not sure how long you have been going to BT... but it wasn't until the last year or so that it was opened up such that we were even allowed to park inside the gate, and drive down to the beach area to unload.

Much work has gone into opening up numerous areas in AA County. Thanks to the hard work of Ms. Lisa in a previous post.

Maybe there is a "new" unwritten rule to going to BT and the "dummie lock," and accessing the park before 7am.

Just as a precautionary thought... it might not be such a great idea to bust down there before the park officially opens.
At least if you are going to break the rules.... be very mindful of your approach... don't blast your car radio... don't be yellin' back to friends....

If the rules have changed... well then awesome ! I hope to hear from Lisa or others because I do like to launch before 7am.

Maybe even go the extra effort... park outside the gate.. and roll with your cart down to the launch. You have to walk down either way.

It won't be long before "everybody" starts bustin' down there if they see cars parked inside the gate with it open at 6am and then 5am.
