I’d rather have them shut down the entrance rather than tons of my tax dollars going towards the Coast Guard having to save some dumbass that doesn’t understand his boat can’t handle the waves

That’s why the coast guard closes it, to protect people from themselves.

I got in the 70s and though the mid 90s there fishing related deaths every year. Yes protect them from themselves.

Not quite sure why they crab out of Humboldt bay anyway. Trinidad seems the logical choice.

Your perspective is illogical.

Trinidad gets beaten by the surf a lot more, and the facilities are volume-limited with the amount of haul they get this time of year. A few small to medium boats can unload there, but Eureka and Field’s Landing can handle bigger and more frequent boatloads. Also, you can refuel on the water in Eureka, which is the only such facility for at least a hundred miles in any direction.

And when the weather sucks, a bay is a much more pleasant place to be than an exposed location like Trinidad.

With many years at sea over the course of thirty years, and several crossings over Humboldt Bar bar, I must say if the U.S.C.G. believes it should be closed, it probably should be. If you don’t believe them, take a drive out to the north jetty and look for yourselves. It can get pretty messy. On the flip side, just the kind of water our local surfers love.
