GS5 - Sunday, May 15th - REGISTRATION IS OPEN ON PAGE 21 and closes 4/15/11

Starting to go into panic mode! I can feel the pressure starting to kick in!

How in the world do you shove 2 tackle box's worth of rock fish gear into one of those stupid little itty-bitty teeny-weenie tupperware? Decisions... decisions....

Now I understand there is a chance to target salmon? That's more stuff I have to shove into another stupid little itty-bitty teeny-weenie tupperware.

And today someone mentioned perch fishing too.... 

This is supposed to be relaxing!!!

And I have how many more days to get ready???

I need to file for stress at work..... I need more time off to get ready for fishing....

choose wisely young jedi! less is more! you are going to freeze up having to make a choice

Hi Jed,
Yup the New Blue Revo is ready to go and so am I
I have had it out twice and no fish yet so I'm hopeful that it loses it's virginity this weekend in saltwater
Look forward to sharing a great weekend with you and the rest of the brotherhood

Hey all,

I'm gonna be a weanie until friday and stay with my brother in law in Redway. Gotta have my energy if i'm chasing giant abs. Will pull into camp mid/late morning friday and will come find you.

Check it out.  As much as I'd love to have 70's and lots of sun, it looks like we're in for 50's to 60's with a fair amount of clouds.  The good news:  the wind doesn't look to be a factor, and that will allow lots of water access.  Bring your warm clothes and raingear just in case!   

.THURSDAY...PARTLY CLOUDY IN THE MORNING THEN CLEARING. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S AT THE COAST AND IN THE MID 60S INLAND. NORTHWEST WIND AROUND 10 MPH. 
.THURSDAY NIGHT...PARTLY CLOUDY. LOWS IN THE LOWER 40S. NORTHWEST WIND 5 TO 15 MPH. 
.FRIDAY...PARTLY CLOUDY. HIGHS 56 TO 66. NORTHWEST WIND 5 TO 15 MPH. 
.FRIDAY NIGHT...PARTLY CLOUDY IN THE EVENING THEN BECOMING MOSTLY CLOUDY. SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS. LOWS 38 TO 48. 
.SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY. CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS. HIGHS 51 TO 61. LOWS 38 TO 48. 
.SUNDAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY. CHANCE OF RAIN AND SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. HIGHS 49 TO 59. 
.SUNDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY. SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS. LOWS 36 TO 46. 
.MONDAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY. SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN. HIGHS 51 TO 61. 
.MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY. SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS. LOWS 39 TO 49. HIGHS 54 TO 64.

In terms of the marine forecast, I feel that we're very fortunate - it looks fishable for Friday, very good for Saturday and very promising for Sunday.  Monday and Tuesday's extreme dawn minus tides might provide some of the best rockpicking opportunities possible!  That's no joke, so be ready on that if you're looking to get some abalone.

.FRI...NW WIND 5 TO 15 KT. WIND WAVES 1 TO 3 FT. NW SWELL 6 TO 8 FT. 
.SAT...S WIND 5 TO 10 KT. WIND WAVES 1 FOOT OR LESS. NW SWELL 5 TO 7 FT. CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND SLIGHT CHANCE OF TSTMS. 
.SUN...S WIND 10 KT. WIND WAVES 1 TO 2 FT. NW SWELL 3 TO 4 FT. CHANCE OF RAIN AND SLIGHT CHANCE OF TSTMS.

Andy did you think you were invited without it? 

T'was the night before fishing,
When toast after toast,
Finally left no one sober,
Not even the host.

The whole camp was in turmoil,
The gear was piled deep.
And the dishes from dinner
Were stacked in a heap.

And the poker chips jingled.
And the cards flashed bright,
To the bleary eyed players,
Glued there for the night.

Course the stories were flying,
Complete with damned lies.
Like the fish that Jake mentioned,
He landed on flies.

Or that sexy achievement,
Slim made with that Chick.
That he savorly bragged of,
With "Hic" after "Hic".

Like the one when Mike scrubbed out
Results of that scare.
When he ran to the outhouse,
And into a bear.

Or the one of the Musky,
Max told with a gloat.
That leaped high for his spinner,
And fell in the boat.

Yes the stories were flying.
And the gang was unwound.
As their pent up emotions,
Spilled out all around.

Then a Loon called out loudly,
From far in the lake.
And in sudden awareness,
It jarred us awake.

Each man of us now knew it,
Was time to turn in.
For tomorrow we'd battle,
The surge of the fin.

Just the stillness of darkness,
Remained to make clear.
T'was the night before fishing,
For another long year.

-Red Fisher

Thanks Al. That was nice.
