pm sent but let make one thing clear for sure NO LATE NIGHT BATHROOM PRIVILEGES!!!! We know what happened up at the campground and it is not something we need in this bathroom!  :smt044

You're the man, Jimbo!  Thank you, and I will make this work (in other words, I may have spoken too soon about getting 3 nights for the price of 1 - how about staying 4 for the price of 2?...)  I just looked over your post from earlier and it sounds like the Sledge factor will be conducive to this coupon deal - thx, again, Jimbo.   :smt001

Im probably in.  It is HSU graduation on the 12th and my girlfriend is walking that day.  The important date is in december when she has the nursing pinning ceremony when they officially become nurses.  She wants to go again and stay at the Inn of the Lost Coast so it looks like it may work out after all.

Can't wait to get back to the Cove.

Eric,
Thanks again for putting this event together.
This is my favorite event of the year and I don't know how I will pass the next 4 months.
I also plan on my first Ab dive while I'm there.
If you could do me a favor and add this event as well as TRW-2 and any other event you might know about from LCKA to the NCKA calender I would much appreciate it. I love the north coast and would like to attend as many events in your area as possible

See Ya Soon,
Eric / Yakhopper

P.S.
My Wife and I have been discussing what we would like to do when we actually retire. We are thinking that the Arcata area might be what we are looking for. If anyone knows of a Sporting goods store in that general area that might be in need of a quality employee please send me the info.

I've been hanging out here for over 7 years, but I don't know where the calendar is!!  Pretty funny, but true.  Sorry, Eric.  Dial me in on where it is and I'll go check it out.   :smt001  I don't know the dates for TRW2, but I'll be glad to add GS6 to the calendar.

PS - I found the calendar!  I posted up GS, but it diverted me to the wrong day, so I posted it on two different days.  Anyway, finding the calendar made me realize how I don't schedule fishing trips outside of GS - that's one of my trade secrets.   :smt003

Loved the compilation video Eric!!

For newcomers, here is my vid of GS5: 




Words can't describe how much fun I have had up there the past two years!!

 :smt007 :smt007

And this year...one of my New Years Resolutions...shoot a fish in Humboldt County!   :smt044 :smt044

Wish I had my dive gear when I was fishing on tourney day with Zilla...we paddled way North and found some killer clear water... :smt004

Is it May yet??

 :smt003

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

Thanks for posting up that video, Jim - great one.  Loved the extensive coverage of game day at the check-in station - that halibut was awesome, there were some trophy lings, and a few cabs were monsters.  Can't wait for this year!   :smt001
