Hold the date for this event. Solunar cycle looks very good. Tentative agenda:
6AM to 1PM: fish for big salmon and little sand dabs
1-2PM: pot luck shore lunch sand dab fry
2-3:30: Island racing around a set triangular course (MBK to Red Buoy to yellow buoy to MBK)
Again this event will be dependent on WX. Let me know if interested or have other ideas. Non-sailors and non-anglers welcome.
Life is good! Scott

I'll put in my calendar Scott. I'll plan to stay and camp there a few days.
-
I think this sounds great..marked my calander!!

Sounds good to me Captain Scott.

Yes you are welcome to join us. I'll bring a tow rope and a shark shield. :smt005 :smt005 :smt005

If I can figure out how to sail by then, I'm totally in.

-
I'm in! Just have to clean off all the dust and spider webs off my sail.
-
Sounds great! I should have the AI by then 😊
-
Sonny, are you sure you don't already have an AI somewhere?
-
I am in! Just acquired the AI from Ed. I need to start to learn a few AI basics :smt007
-
Will be there.
-
Should work! After tax season so no 24/7 daddy duty!
-
Looking forward to it. Hopefully there will be a salmon to cook up at shore lunch. I don't have sailing skills yet but will still compete in the race just to see how bad I really am at sailing.

I'll help you BBQ Scott!

I'd also like to help you with the BBQ work, Scott. :smt005 I can actually prepare the spices. My BBQ is famous in my friend circle.

He's tough. Tenderize first. :smt075

I'll bring a grill and fryer. Hopefully we will get a mountain of sand dabs and we can fry them up FM1 style.
-
Scott are you planning on spending the night or doing a one day burn. If others are planning on camping witch campground will you be staying, I would like to try to book a site.

Veterans park in Monterey. First come first serve. We will be there Scott. And the fryer too. Any of my boys need a place to crash plenty of room for tents at my place. :smt006
-
A good day to learn from the AI pros and meet. I'll mark my calendar ty
-
Darn, I'm camping Anchor Bay. Life is so tough. I'll have to meet up with you guys sometime this year as I got my new '15 AI.... !!!!
-
I have family meetings :smt003 that week end but will try to be present, even if it's to clean dabs and help with the BBQ. :smt002

Thanks Andy, I'll bring a mini keg. It's a turn and burn for me. Got family in town. With rock season open, this is going to be epic, wind or no wind. WX dependent of course. We will have 4 non-angler Islanders also.
-
I will probably be jigging up rock fish on the pacific grove side. Maybe I will run into you guys. I will keep an ear on NCKA channel on vhf.
-
Hi Scott great fish and sail this Sat. anyway.
I will join unless the salmon bite is hot somewhere else. Not sure I will have much left for racing after but if my body is willing, I know a few things about sailboat racing.
-
Looking forward to this Scott. Fried sand dabs and beer!!! Yeah. I'll make sure Andy has enough manteca.
-
If mine comes in by then then I'm gonna make a go for it. Gonna be a short learning curve though. :smt044
-
Well wifey nixed my trip. Instead I'll be suffering in the Ahwahnee and playing rope gun to the 8year old on a post tax season retreat....I know, I know the suffering of it all.
-
Whats up with some of the dates on the posts?
Anyways I am itching and will be back from my Hawaiian vacation on the 15th. Is anyone bringing an RV? I have a travel trailer that i may want to bring if this is going to be a party. Otherwise is everyone just doing a day trip?
-
Goood luck today boys. I was in carmel yesterday and it was blowing like crazy. Montery lookd a lil more doable but still windier than i like. Perfect for u sailors lol
-
Funny it's been blowing like a mo fo all week and the day I plan a sailing hookup no wind. :smt005 :smt013 Looks like a nice day for fishing. Bring your sails in case there is some wind in the afternoon. I'll be bringing Mann dogs, beer, utensils and plates and a grill. Let's he an official head count. Who is in? Let's go for lunch at 1PM.
-
Sorry can't make this one. Family matters to deal with. Have fun!!
-
I'm the JINX! Everytime I make plans to sail... the wind miraculously dies down. I'm 0-3 on attempts at a full day of sailing!
I'm still in though. What are we fishing for: salmon, rockfish, sanddabs, halibuts, or E) All of the Above? Just trying to figure out what gear needs to come with me.
I'll bring a grill and a dish of something as well.
-
Hey Scott,
I will join. What time should we get there? I can bring seasoning and paper plates.
Same question. What fish do we target? How do we rig the rods?
I'd like to caravan with you if you don't mind. I promise I won't be late this time, seriously :smt003. And I can carry more stuff if you need to.

There are a bunch of macks in that area right now. I would cruise out towards the red mile buoy and get some dabs first, then target rockfish/lings (technically can't use more than 2 hooks once you have rockfish onboard). Maybe even troll a plug or spoon between spots or when sailing to load up on macks too.
-
I will be there also bring an AI friend we should be there around 6:00 to do some fishing and hopefully some sailing will bring a side dish to share, see you all there :smt006

Love you guys and your AI enthusiasm. I actually own a Hobie 18.. which under sail, will smoke any AI (I think).. .but as I've learned the hard way.. only sand or rocks will stop a Hobie 18.... so its a pretty impractical fishing platform. (Drat!) If someone has figured out how to do it, I'd like to hear.
With you in spirit.

How about some rod holder mounts (PatR's) on the akas and/or rudder bar? It might be difficult to hover over structure or clip to kelp, but small eletric trolling motor might work(?).
It seems like the 18 would make for a nice, comfortable troller with tons of deck space. Just some ideas while I pass the time in the office. :smt003

Yes, the "Alien" Monterey tour. Red buoy for dabs first, then troll a sabiki or small kastmaster down to the yellow can for macs then fish the yellow can for rocks and lings. Use the dabs and macs for ling bait. Then head in for shore lunch at 1PM. My first saltwater kayak trip was with Alex (Alien) and Eugene (E2G) 10 years ago out of MBK and we did this route. I was with my son in a Malibu 2XL. Some things never change. Fishing was better then though. I plan on arriving at MBK around 630-7AM. Parking at the parking lot just north of MBK, shore lunch at the picnic tables. I'll have 3# of squid also which works well there.
George, I can swing by your house and caravan down if desired.

See you after our dive out of Stillwater.
-
I saw 4-5 boats this morning, about a mile north of scribble hill (sand city). That's the closest they've been to MBK so far this season.

That's great. Google map says the morning drive will take about 2 hours. So meet at my house at 4:30am? I'll load up the yak tonight.

Reports of salmon near soldiers and mulligan. Possibly moving north up to Moss ?
Wouldn't that be nice.
Alex

I should be there, hopefully by 7 :smt003 see you on the water. Orange ocean kayak.

I'll be there in a yellow AI
-
Good lucks guys.
-
Well fishing sucked but the sailing was great! We had 7 AI's for the event and had about 9kt wind starting at 1100AM. Really perfect ocean sailing conditions for the AI.
Life is good, Scott

Nice pics Scott! I'm sure you will zero in on the pink meat soon.

We didn't target chrome today, too late a start. Etienne launched at 4AM and was the first to draw chrome blood for the central coast islanders this year, but I will let him tell his story. We will get them dialed in.
-
Looking good guys. Too bad I missed out.
-
Glad you guys had fun sailing the MB. Thanks for the reports and pictures guys.
-
Thanks Scott for the hookup, had a great time meet a bunch of nice guys, had a great sail and caught some fish not many but some. Sorry for the late post but took some time to clean my gear. The first pic is of my buddy with his new 2015 AI it definitely faster and dryer, talk with him after he said he got a lot of over spray but his bow never went under like you can see in Scotts first pic thats me, not to say it won't he is new to sailing he did real well out there.
