GS13 - It's a wrap - Reports start on page 27

So Eric; what's the clinic gonna be this year? 
With so many new people joining NCKA, maybe a second, afternoon clinic, an 'intro to the ocean/Shelter Cove clinic'?  My first trip to Shelter Cove was a clinic with you and it really set my mind at ease to get a first hand tour of the layout on the water.  I now know where to fish to improve my chances of catching several different species and stay safe while doing so.  Tides, currents, swell, wind, growlers, all information I gained while also learning to target specific species.  Throw in seasons, limits and general ethical fishing behavior that rounded out the clinics I attended and I'm a much better and safer kayaker today.  THANKS!!!

Shifra and I are in!

Jerry - Thanks for your post.  I will do the same trip as the past few years.  I wish I had time and energy to do an afternoon trip, but I've got a full schedule.  The trip is fantastic for newbies to the Cove, and it's a great review for people who have done one of my earlier runs.  I review the presentations and techniques that are my primary means of catching all species at the Cove, and, perhaps more importantly for some, I give info on the current trends for the season.  I will have already been salmon and halibut fishing for over a month by the time we hit the Cove for GS, so the current trends/where the fish are is a big piece of the puzzle.

I already have a couple of people signed up for Friday's trip.  PM me if interested in that day or Thursday.

Thursday trip still has open spots.  PM me if interested.

Opening day at the Cove last June...

I'll be there. I can't fucking wait !! I just got my room reserved from Verna. Registration to follow. This has always been my favorite event of the year. Extremely beautiful coastline, totally pristine and loaded with the complete plethora of fish. Like a naked lady laying on the beach with a cooler full of ice-cold IPA, The cove calls me in..I have to have it. I missed it last year cuz of my stupid job. This year I seek to make up for it.

This year I seek to make up for it.

I absolve you, my son, of your past sins.  Your penance is three Hail Mayr’s and the resurrection of The Taco Shack
The Hail Mary’s are optional
