Gimme Shelter III - VIDEO DIRECTIONS added on Page 43

I hope to see someone catch a big Halibut at Gimme Shelter!  I still have to figure out how to land one of those on a kayak!  That is a lot of flapping, fighting fish.....
Good luck!  Matt

Maybe you forgot that some of us leaving for Shelter Cove on Thursday 05/14/09

Aha, i see. My countdown is until the opening of RF season up there (The 15th).

I guess I should actually tack on an extra 6 hours until sunrise on the 15th.

At this point I'm predicting quite a bit of big smiles, cold beer and enthusiastic hand-shaking on Thursday evening the 14th.  Sunrise on the 15th is going to be magic.

Milk crate tackle box and cart, with 6 rod/net/gaff holders.
Piss bottle

FISHING GEAR

Now help me with terminal tackle, lures, jigs, bait, etc. suggestions.
