Albion June 1st-3rd

Cool, hopefully I'll see you guys there and the seas are calm.  We'll have the fryer going and fish tacos in the works Saturday night. 

I can't wait to be back on the coast.

I'll be packing up this afternoon/eveing for a 9am departure. I'm glad I'll be at Albion with some protection tomorrow.  Looks like a small craft advisory until very late Friday night early Saturday morning.

I want to drop the crab trap as well.  Anyone know where the big crabs are inside or outside the cove?  I know a lot hang out near the boat docks, but they all seem to be pretty small.

Hope to see some NCKAers there.  I'll be in a gray ford ranger.

Cheers,
Birddog

 see you in 4!

Rodger that mudshark! See you soon. We're at the Anderson valley brewing now picking up some "supplies".

This was taken yesterday. I posted it on another thread.
We were going to stay at Caspar for 5 days but left 2 days early because of the shitty ocean conditions. Just got home a couple of hours ago.
Weather is great on shore, terrible off shore.
Be careful and good luck.
If you have binoculars I suggest you watch the water from a good high vantage point for a good 15-20 minutes before going out.
Big water way outside early will mean mixed chop inside and will eventually make it's way closer as the day progresses.
I scoped it 3 days in a row and it never got better. 6am to 7am was the best and it still sucked.

love the shadow of your arm and the camera pole

Man would love to be there but like cam...work Have fun guys...can't wait for the report
