the change in the fathoms that we might be able to fish, is that for  the entire  coast line or just northern part of  calif.

Hi John.  They have suggested that the regs would go coast-wide, at least for Central California to Oregon, I think.

Fishing wise if RF is closed there is a whole pile of sole to be caught. The bigger ones pull decently and they are delicious!

That sounds great! I could use some instructions, would you be up for doing a clinic, John?

I don’t know if I’m qualified to give any fishing advice for that area. I would defer to LolitaEric who is the pro for the area.

Ive had luck catching sole west of the reef, away from the rocks in 120+ FOW. 3 way rig with either an anchovy, small herring, or my favorite a gulp grub. Just bounce that thing along the bottom and you should get bit. If you’re only getting small nibbles it’s probably sand dabs.

For cooking average sized ones I like to do a 45 degree cut and take off the head and guts all at once. Scale, trim the fins, and fry whole. Bigger ones can be fillet.

Eric, let me know when you get the date set so I can adjust the fish and chill I have scheduled the 15th-20th.
I can move it a couple weeks later if needed.

Definitely a factor.

Right on, Greg.  I appreciate it.

Bring your wife to the event. take her on a date the day after on your way back. It's a win win.

Me, Wife and the baby will be there! This is a long overdue NCKA gathering. Don't have kayak anymore but love to see everyone!

If memory serves it would not be the first GS event to coincide with a Mother’s Day event….. and if I remember correctly there is a way to set it up so a lovely weekend on the lost coast would work for all parties.

Aloha,

I would attend, even though I can't kayak anymore.  Especially if Crash can take orders for oysters!
Too soon to preemptively reserve a campsite or hotel room?

****EDIT****
Never 'too soon', reserved site 12 at the campground.   
I think I'll bring the smoker and do a 17-pound brisket I found in the freezer for the potluck if there is going to be one.

Been watching this thread with interest.  I might come out of retirement for this event.  I haven’t bought more than 3 dozen oysters at one time since the last GS, would need to check sources and prices but yes, I can bring the oysters assuming availability.

Nabokov wrote Lolita in English. That has always struck me as odd given the far more conservative prudishness of the English speaking world both then and now.  Would the book have been nearly as controversial if it were in French or Russian?

Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.
