Stillwater Cove Friday, May 1st Rockfish Opener Weekend - Monterey South-Central

yeah i know. i'm SO far behind on my prep...so much work to do to make this trip work.

What ya have left to get done? 

I started prepping about a month ago (MADNESS) Oiled the reels, sorted the tackle, got new line on, bought more crap, another kayak (still need too install FF) programmed the GPS, etc, etc, etc!

pretty much everything.  still waiting on my transducer from humminbird

buy a few jigs/shrimp fly rigs
lube up the old jigmaster/respool some line on it (the line on it is probably 8 years old)
find a wetsuit
booties maybe?

Whats up with the shore lunch on Sat? Whos bringing what?

Well, doesn't look like I'm going to make it on Saturday. Was informed that my boys have a drill team meet on the same day. They are both rifle spinners for the school ROTC program. They put in a lot of time and effort into this and it is very important that I am there to support them. We'll hookup another day.

Good luck to everyone on the opener and throughout the season.

I will be bringing the coals the pit and something for the pit. Maybe skirt steak...and BEER>>

Think I'll marinate some chicken for the grill and bring taco stuff for fish tacos!  Of course I'll bring some BEER too!

i'm no chef so i dont know what i could bring for the grill.  i can bring some soda and chips...give me some ideas and i'll be happy to get it =)

FYI guys and gals the BBQ is set for Sat. You are on your own for Fri. I will not be able to fish.

 Wondering were youve been! Make sure to stretch out your legs first! ..... We are on ch 69...Andy

Andy I think we should start a second hookup + potluck for May 2nd so we can get an accurate measure of who will make it sat!

Looks like the wind is supposed to stay down (maybe offshore in the AM) on Fri and Sat, but you may want to bring rain gear.Sorry I can't make the BBQ...have to work at MBK Moss Landing.

If it isn't going to pour and get stormy on Sunday I'm still down to go.I may try Stillwater with a fallback plan of MBK halibut/rf weather permitting.

that was hecka funny haw andy you remember that i looked like a baby seal ready to be pounced on by a great white...  my hamstrings were pulled from a softball game as well. i am ready now baby!! hope ta see ya out there.   bulldog
