  I am in!

We were going to go after some butts in the bay. I was thinking Paradise because I'm too lazy to make bait when I can just buy it at LL. But we'll go wherever there's other fisherfolk. Baaaaaaa.

Sat morning? What time?

Northern,
Iwas thinking sun but may do both. IMHO smelt outfishes shiners 2 to 1 and they are pretty easy to make. you can also buy dock scoops of anchovies at Bezerkeley for $15. enough bait for 2 to 5 yakfishers. i think chovies are better than shiner.

Sunday morning I have plans and then I was thinking of HMB in the afternoon.

Berkeley seems to be a lot quieter fish-wise than ARW?

Where/whenever, make your plan and if we can make it, we'll be there.

saturday works for me.  if saturday works for everyone, i will be there.
i have never tried to catch live bait myself before.  can someone show me how to catch live bait?  what kind of rig/bait do i need for it?

I may be able to go Saturday

FTF.

thanks for the info.
cheers.

Alright then, this is turning into a Coalition of the Butting! 

Whats the launch time Captain Sharky?

 well lets see. I HATE getting up early even though every time i do I'm glad i do. High is at 630, but sunrise is at 644. Primetime is KEY to these fish. (high and the beginning of the outgo). So if i tell myself i have to be there by 530, not a second later, ill arrive at 610 . So for the rest of you who actually have the ability to keep appointments, lets say 6.
If we get out early, we could have hali on the barbie for late lunch!(optimistic).
Take no prisoners. Capture the hearts, minds and fillets of the local inHalibutants. I have verifiable intel from local CIA recon agents that 2 High Value Targets of Opportunity (WSB) have been captured in the area recently.

Aye aye Cap'n Sharky Sir.

We'll shoot for 6. If we are early or late, we can be located on Ch69.

ok.  6am it is.
see you all on saturday at 6.
cheers.

so anyone still up for Sun (have to work on Sat...)?

2. 3 hooks max(including sabikis)..dont clip off surplus flies, just their hooks, turning them into teasers.

good idea! Thanks!
