Hi Yakers:

            I plan of leaving this Fri. and fishing Sat. I will trade a Ab
for the use of a Lg. wetsuite and weight belt.

I'll be at Van Damme Friday to Monday.
Saturday AM sounds good. 
I don't have a wetsuit for you, my XXXL probably won't fit ya.
Just rent the wet suit at Subsurface Progression, they have a $30 ab package:

What time are you thinking of launching?  If condition are rough I might just do Abs only, but if conditions are OK (not much of a chance of great conditions based on forecast) I got some big grubs the lings are calling for.

Hi AbMan:

          I be at VanDamm at Sunrise. I'll be staying at Duncan Place across from Ft. Bragg PD.
         I would rent but, I usually give my Abs away and, don't want to
spend the Money. Too bad Ken passed away, he was a good friend and I bought a lot of gear at a "Local Mendo." discount.
         I guess I'll have to wait till the DFG has a gear sale.

 :smt012 I'll be there, but I don't like the looks of this.  It is only getting worse as the weekend gets closer.  :smt011

I'll still get abs thats never a problem :smt002 just not much fishing.

I don't have a VHF, but I'll look for you.

I may try to hit the water on Friday evening around 5pm, if it's not blowing to hard.

I may come down on Sat to visit, but those conditions will probably make me sick.  I don't see fishing in my weekend future.

I'm headed out the door.  I take a few pics and post it to how I roll when I get back.  Looking forward to meeting a couple more NCKAers this weekend....

Just look for the Yellow Cobra Triple, It will probably be the biggest yak out there.

Hi Yakers:

           I'll be in a Silver Windstar w KCKA stickers. The mornings should be O.K. but, worst case I'll pick HuckleBerrys for Jam. Maybe Matt knows
where the "Honey Pots" are?
           Look for "Gumby" a Green Scupper Classic.
