Mooch Memorial - HMB Fish & Chill on Oct 11th

I lost mine about a month ago and need a new one.  Who had them?

I lost mine about a month ago and need a new one.  Who had them?

Joel's neices had them made;  but I think they are all gone....

BTW: you guys getting you handlining skills in gear? Got some e practicing in at Albion

I found the perfect hand line reel:



Now I just need to add ball bearings and carbontex drag to it and I will be set.

locals in Nicaragua were doing well in the surf with a piece of what looked like 1"x6" with a handle cut in it on one end -- just hand wind the line around the end of the board. 
they were usually tossing spoons or live bait but were catching some nice jack crevale (sp?)

Ya, saw the same thing in Costa Rica,,  it's actually easier to throw the bait by hand-line IMHO…

this young fellow's piece of wood out fished me and my Calcutta 400….

G-Whiz i sent $25 to your paypal to support the kids with cancer fishing trip.

Coming from a cancer family, I think joels/G-Whiz's request below is amazing and would love to see this happen, were broke, but I cant think of a better way to spend $25, pretty cheap to stoke out a bunch of sick children!



Quote "In addition, one of Joel's wishes was to create a charity for 'Kids with Cancer' to get them out on the water and fish; so we will be trying to organize a raffle (or silent auction) to raise some money for his request. Please let me know if you would like to or can donate any new (or slightly used) items that we can raffle/auction. For those of you who have had previous events/tourneys, I would be wondering if you can contact you sponsors to see if they would be willing to make a donation to the raffle/auction; your help would be greatly appreciated."

Prize List:
New Banks Board with harness strap (donated by G-Whiz)



Mooch Better Boat Donation List:
G-Whiz $20.00
Porky $25

Thanks Brent!!! I was just getting ready to do a decal run to raise money and you beat me to the punch; guess I shoulda quit lagg'n!

Instead of doing the raffle/donation thing, I thought I would raise money for Joel's charity they way I used to raise money for him in the past; so if you interested in donating to Joel's cause and/or getting a new vinyl decal set for your kayak, here's the link:

and thanks for your support....

Update: I have asked Hojo (Howard Joe) to take over  & manage Joel's "Kids with Cancer Fishing Charity" and he has graciously accepted; thank Hojo, you are the right person for this task and Joel would be honored that your are overseeing it!


Vic (VK): got your funds in the mail today; I'll make sure they go over to Hojo. Mooch Better boat had prior commitments, but a friend (who shuttle the other vessel) should be able to help out; and it can go to that or to Joel's foundation, if thats ok with you...


Also, if anyone wants to contribute to Joel's "Kids with Cancer" charity, I am doing a fund raiser to to charter a boat to take kids with cancer out fishing; goal is to raise between $750-$1000 to charter a 6-pack or better.

For a $25 donation, you'll get a vinyl of you screen name for you kayak; here's the link: http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=58690.0

Any update on details/logistics?

Paddle out in AM, fish, visit green can, back to shore for potluck/chill?

Considering diving outside of jetty and seeing if any Lings are hanging down there...I know viz will suck but still might be fun. Anybody ever seen any decent fish caught close in there? 

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Considering that one of IceColdChuck's coolest posts was about diving in HMB for lead sinkers, I'd guess he'd be your best bet

LOL!

Meh.

F that guy. He sucks at diving.

I'll make some pizza, maybe do some fishing.

In a nut shell, yes...  Only time frame i'm working on is "when to meet at the green can"; its gonna be based on whether or not I can get the family out there... my friend says he's most likely a go, but if something unexpected arises, then I'm screwed if I promise the family a ride...

The "Chill" will be happening all through the afternoon/evening; since there will be folks not interested in leaving the comforts of land, they will remain i the parking lot...

Not sure what the parking lot scene looks like now or what it will be like in the next few weeks with commies stacking gear, but we will all just try and park as close to one another as possible; maybe towards the back/hillside of the center lot like last year....

No real set time for potlucking; cook when you're ready, eat when you're hungry.... Mooch style!!

I just sent $ via paypal, Glen. I'll send you a PM regarding the vinyl decal. I'm not sure if I really want my screen name on my boat...always thought it was kinda kooky.    But perhaps something else to stick on my truck (like Oakland A's or 49ers or O'Doyle Rules).

I just moved up off the wait list for a race and am now officially registered for the Oct 11.  Sadly, won't be able to join event this year.  Will be running in Moochie's honor.
