2009 was pure carnage

 I'm hurting bad for rockfish season. I have already pulled out all my gear and gone thru it an bought more. Getting tired of fishing the bay an jettys, I need rockfish!!!!

No kidding!  I miss the good old days when I went fishing when it was flat - year round. 

The rockfish/ling fix has been a big draw for Gimme Shelter since it's on the opener.  Salmon fishing was our original focus back in 2007 when 6 of us met up in March @ GS1!  (it didn't have a name at that point!   )  Having more to fish for and better chances of a good ocean and warmer weather has made the decision easy to have the tournee in mid May instead of late Winter.  There was even some consideration of moving the tournee to a Summer month to give even more assurance of conditions that would allow success, but I feel that holding the tournee at the opener is crucial to the buildup and climax of the whole event.

I might just have to turn this into the official thread - I was trying to hold off until after the new year...   

looking forward to it very much. I guess k need to start thinking of cool-sounding team names. Actually, I just need to follow BigJim around the whole day to win myself a kayak. Let the trash-talking officially begin!

If it was held on the weekend after the opener, it would give me thaw whole weekend to fish for rf/lings- as I need to leave on Sunday after the tourney to get back to work on Monday

 Ya kinda looks like this may turn out to be the GS thread 

Uuh, rockfish season opens May 14, 2011 homie! ....its just a shout away!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! that make it closer? 

IM IN!

Sign me up! I might have to start pouring some lead soon. Reminds me of a funny old movie "Hot lead and Cold Feet". Ever see that one Mooch? Its pretty funny/silly.

I've ben looking forward to this as soon as I pulled out the the campsite from the last one! Leaving Sledge behind while he fished a few more days makes me to make sure I spend even a few more days up here than last. I love fishing up here and look forward to kicking off the season with a bang!
Has anyone started the potluck thread yet? 
Have a fun and safe New Years everyone!

I'm already planning out the whole trip 

Sin Coast claims 5/14 is the opener, and I trust that mo-fo!  I'll make it official soon, but sounds like we're holding GS5 on Saturday, May 14th, 2010!!!

Good site, Jason.  Thanks for posting that.  There are some great minus tides later in the week after the tournee...
