What's up NCKA?

It's looking like the weather is going to be nice out in Bodega all week. If conditions hold 'til Saturday, I plan to head back to Bodega to resume the pink chase.

This would be a Doran launch around 5:30, and off the water around 10:00 ish (for me, anyway). I've gotta make it to a friend's kid b-day party in Tomales around 11:30.

Anyone interested?

~Alex

That's true. I don't want to lure anyone away from PIF, but sadly I can't make it up there for the event.

Slight possibility this may become a Duxbury trip if I hear any positive reports.... Sounds like a few fish are starting to show up, and the numbers should only increase.

Sorry for the wishy-washy planning again... You know how that goes.

Listening to the radio chatter this morning it sounds like there's still a hot bite at the whistle buoy.

A few mentions of kayakers on the water, too. :) Hope you guys are scoring!

Otter - If things work out on the home front (what's the girlfriend version of WAF? GFAF?), I might join you on Sunday.

It's kindof torture listening to the radio while I work... I should probably stop.

I am out for this weekend due to medical complications, but I might have a buddy who is taking my place this weekend.

Hey Bro

if you launch at Doran at 5:30 and need to be at Tomales at 11:30, then you should just troll all the way to Tomales and have one of your friends drop you at Doran later, or just troll back and get more fish. :ball
Imagine the face on your friends if you show up there in a kayak with 2 huge salmon on the clip.
Just remember not to live the fish in the water while trolling close to Tomales cause the sharks may take a bite at it.

I will be at HMB Saturday, will be at Doran on Friday.
Good luck.
