I believe the season opens early (May 15th) North of Point Arena. I know it's early but is anybody making plans yet? I plan on going for at least 3 days. I haven't decided where yet. I'm thinking maybe Shelter Cove or something secluded like that. I'm also considering launching from somewhere and yaking a few miles north or south and beach camping in order to fish some rarely fished water.

We are 5 months out and I am already starting to plan. I think marinated carne asada, fish tacos and coronas would make a good dinner for the first day of the season. 
Everybody dies, not everybody lives. What did you do today?

Amp. I like your way of thinking.  At the very least I can join in on Sunday, 15th is Friday.  I'll check and see if I can get the week off--granny can die only so many times. :smt002

I'm in.  I've a couple of ideas of my own for an overnight camp/rockfish combo.

Are we almost there?

I hope to have my man-trailer done by then. Anything worth doing is worth planning for!

Hi everyone! This is my first post here, Abking tells me to quit lurking and say hi. Rock fish opener at the Cove sounds great! I could knock granny off that weekend. Tight lines everyone.

That's it, I'm changing my location!  Proud Loletan's unite!!  Welcome aboard, Domenic - I was thinking I was going to have to describe my recent outings with a lurker!  Now you're official, Bro.  Let's get on the water soon.   :smt001

Welcome Domenic, I believe we fished together last summer around Trinidad.  I took you to my hot spots and I never caught a fish--but you did.  We won't hold it against you that you run with Abking.

  Hey, us Loletans gotta stick together Abking, we are an army of 2! :smt003 Tim, thanks for the tour off of Trinidad last summer. I especially liked the place you referred to as the washing machine. LOL. The grey whale munchin on bait wasnt bad either! Come down to the mouth and we'll drift the channels for starry flounder this spring. Take care and remember those new years resolutions--more time on the water!
