F.W. A.R.W. Roll Call

Draggin' that big one thru the mud. Comin' home on a serious outgo should be fun too.

High tide of 4.1 at 5:41am, Low of .6 at 12:17pm that day...

those are numbers for the gate...arw is around an hour later...

come on guys I am due for a blank this roll can't last forever

what will be the best bait and where is the easiest place to get it thanks james

With 40 people out there and half following Duane. I would still bet on Duane.

That's because he has his bait TRAINED!    Among their endurance training they are being taught to swim TOWARD the biggest halibut jaws they can find!    They have radio's and chips implanted in them so he can communicate and track them while out on the hunt!

Really with the small tides this shouldnt be a big factor, 1 to 2 knts at worst but.......
Anyone having a problem clawing against the outgo to get back to the ramp, remember this. Either at the break in the wall(2/3 the way out) or at the end of the wall, just paddle into the harbor (north side of the wall). There should be almost no current on that side, in fact the current should be towards the launch ramp on the outer section of the wall on the outgo.
note... there will be a clockwise rotation  of water at the break in the wall on the outgo. It shouldnt be bad on these small tides.DONT TROLL THROUGH HERE WITH HEAVY GEAR AND DRAGS BUTTONED DOWN!!! there are a lot of snags and you could easily get thrown from your yak or worse............................................

beginners luck, thats what i'm looking for. 

the WX is looking great. From NOAA.....
Sunday:  Variable winds less than 5 kt becoming WSW 6 to 11 kt in the morning. Sunny.

All I can say is bring your sunblock it is going to be in the 90's

and one other thing do not put on a wetsuit you don't need one the water is nice and
warm right now. I had my feet in it last weekend and you can swim if you wanted
do not were black pants madder of fact just dress like you are going swimming
trust me it will be a little cold in the morning but it will pay off in the afternoon.

SO TRUE. Swim trunks and pfd are the way to go at ARW.

So what is the water temp there at ARW?

See... I'm not crazy for dressing like I'm going for a swim when I go yak fishing... and you guys thought I was nuts.

Mr. Bluejeans... need something picked up... pm me. I'll be in the Bay Area this weekend and back up in Folsom on Wed or Thurs.
