One of my other favorite forecast pages is now coming in with good indicators for the tournee.   

Here's a view of swell heights Friday evening:

Hey BlackAb, have you heard any Salmon reports from the cove?  I put a little tackle box together for some Salmon trolling Thursday and Friday, with dipsey divers, weight releases, and barbless hooks.  I will pick up some anchovies before I head over.  I have some Kwickfish to troll as well.  Have you had much luck on those Apex lures?  I may see if I can find some.

I have started packing.  I let my gear get to scattered this year, it just tells me I have to get out and use it more! 

I should be rolling in Thursday evening if all goes well.  I can hardly wait!  Unfortunately I won't be there near enough time for all I want to do!

There are definitely salmon being caught, Matt - I haven't heard a report from yesterday and today, but I was there Friday and there were some fish caught in shallow (60 FOW) - there were lots of shakers (less than 24") and also reportedly some big hawgs broken off after being seen.  We could potentially hook into some huge salmon!  Quite a few salmon, including mostly shakers, were hooked down near the bottom, so what I was seeing on my fishfinder down there could've been salmon and not rockfish - I'm not in to hooking a bunch of lings and rockfish while targeting salmon unless the season is open for everything - that'll be cool for the tournee - put a chovie down there on a set of barbless hooks and you should be able to keep just about anything you haul up.  I'm probably only going to fish barbless hooks and chovies all day for the tournee.

OK,

  I have 3 Kayaks being used for the event.

 Any others? Just want to have this setup so I don't spend time on it Friday night/Saturday morning.

I will also have a couple extra yaks avail. if anyone needs to borrow one.
This is going to be a llllooonnnngggggg week.
see you all there,
Eric

I will get a bigger ab than abman, catch a bigger fish than Jed and I plan to shoot a 30" or bigger ling. Bring it on ladies Amphibian is coming and he's playing for keeps. 

 

MBF is a must with trash talk like that!

Time for side bets It will help for the gas money hauling that extra kayak home

The latest NWS forecast for Cape Mendo to Pt. Arena out 10 NM:

FRI...NW WIND 5 TO 10 KT. WIND WAVES 2 FT OR LESS. W SWELL 6 FT.

The stars seem to be aligning in terms of the forecasts.  It seems to occur only rarely, and for that reason, my three favorite forecast pages concurring on predicting the calm weekend to come is seeming pretty bizarre!  I'm loving it!!  Let's keep our fingers crossed for light winds and biting salmon - otherwise things seem to be coming together nicely.   

Sleeping 5 full nights before this trip is feeling like the biggest challenge in front of me right now!   

What page are the rules for the tourney on?

I'm going to need a boat tender. Someone to follow me around and hold my stringer and hand me sanwiches. I'll let you take a picture with my lings at the end of the day.
