Trinidad Rockfish Wars- 1 (TRW1)- October 29th 2011

BTW - Am I the only one that pictures this every time I see PACMAN?   

I'm going to call Aaron tomorrow, but just in case Pacman/Aaron is reading this, Roughster is on "Get Some" team.

Bonfire sounds good maybe after the beers on clam beach or just skip the $4 beer and just drink them on the beach with the fire.
Any one camping that night.

Darius and I were planning to camp out on the beach if the weather permits and if other kayak anglers are doing the same (safety reason, don't want to be the only one doing it).  Reasons I'd like to camp out there is cuz it's cheaper and no drinking/driving.

Has anyone camp out on that beach before?

Changed my mind about camping out.  it's going to be 46 degree or lower at night.  The beach has no shower and I plan to do some recon on the water on Friday.

Found a super cheap hotel for $55 a night:

Not sure this is the best neighborhood.  You may be able to pick up cheap companionship near this one.  It lists carpeted floors so it must be nice.    One benefit is that it is close to pro sports center and lost coast brewery.  You might have some stories to share.

Mike, thanks for the head up.  I am not too worry about it but am worry about ppl messing with my kayak XD.  Hopefully nothing horrible will happen.

Hermies,
Now I know why Darius offered a spot for me,
Knew I usually carry and would arrive on the middle of the night ... free security  

See Ya There,

Yeah that could be interesting at high tide.  The yota cold get a salt wash.

So, judging from an earlier picture, we can drive onto and launch from the beach? 4x4needed? I have but sometimes is not engaging.
