Gimme Shelter 6.2 Memorial Wknd.

Today's Times Standard reported lots of nice salmon caught near the Whistle this week including a couple 30's and a 34.  Get 'em.   

Hope to see you there! I am not sure if I can make it, but I am working on it.

Carpool?  4AM departure Sunday?  Home by 3ish?...

I wish that it was that easy for me. Then I would be there no questions asked.

Salmon to 34 lbs! Damn I gotta at least try right. I don't have any salmon tackle, is there a good shop in Eureka I can pick some up? Would Brown's in Garberville have any? I'm guessing a deep six with a flasher and bait is all I really need. What kind of flashers are best?

We will be rolling in late Friday night. Looks like a minus tide at 7:23 am, might be a good time to rock pick some abs! then catch the incoming tide for fishing.

I'm down to search the tidepools, you coming?

fl - a DeepSix, flasher and straight bait is my favorite setup, but they're doing well on a WMA all by itself behind the DS too.  A trolled banana weight and mooching rig or WMA or Brad's Super Cutplug will get it done too.

Good luck.   

My plan is for my daughter, BigGabe and I to get there late Friday night, suit up and hit tidepools early, then go out and hit  the drifts for salmon/rockies/halibut/crab/memories.

Where are the tide pools you'll be at, I'd like to meet you'll there and maybe put my head under the water if the conditions look alright.

me and my dad lost a weight belt out off the rocks in front of the lighthouse and conditions wouldnt let us back out to get it if you spot it on the minus and find it let me know please!

How long is the Drive from Clear Lake?

About 2.5 to 3 hours, Darius

About 2.5 to 3 hours, Darius

Latest NWS forecast:

.SAT...NW WIND 10 TO 20 KT. COMBINED SEAS 8 TO 10 FT. PATCHY FOG.  .SAT NIGHT...NW WIND 10 TO 20 KT. WIND WAVES 2 TO 4 FT. NW SWELL 4 TO 6 FT. PATCHY FOG.

.MON...NW WIND 10 TO 20 KT. COMBINED SEAS 5 TO 7 FT...BUILDING TO 8 TO 10 FT.

Looks like Sunday is the day to focus on, and both Saturday and Monday have potential, but I'd say it's 50/50 with a forecast like that (10-20 knots/seas 8 to10')...

Be ready!   

You got it TBone. Darius, I will have my prowler 13, and my daughter probably wont kayak too much.
