Waiting for a callback.  About to start the "pestering" phase of negotiations.

Islander contacted me yesterday.  John and jackie (wife) are sole owners now.  shane is bought out apparently.

She says she's not even started the 2016 schedule yet, so we are looking really good to get a preferred weekend (trying to avoid father's day).  Likely WEd night to Sunday morning, though we could do thursday night to Monay morning.....She'll contact me in two weeks and we can nail it down. 

if you have preferences for specific weekends, and days of the week, please post here.  I can run another survey on that topic if neccesary. 

Bushy!

My understanding is that the later in the summer it is the better the chance at pelagics. Are there options other than in June, given she doesn't have a 2016 calendar yet?

They normally don't want to run kayak trips past June as that is prime time for higher margin trips.  But it won't hurt to ask.

I also believe a lot of our members become a bit less available towards end of une and into summer, with kids out of school and family trips planned.

.Anyway this June will likely be like 2013 high summer........

This far out it'd be easy for me to reserve time off so I have no preference.

45th place / 423 pts / 3 Species - AOTY 2014 (nowhere to go but up!)
30th place / 1132.25 pts / 7 Species - AOTY 2015 (moving up a little!)

Always looking for new people to fish with!

I don't care when, but I'd prefer Thursday-Monday, like last time.

In case anyone cares about moon phases in June 2016.

First weekend, Sunday, June 5 is the new moon.
Second weekend, Sunday, June 12 is the first quarter.
Third weekend, Monday, June 20 is the full moon.
Fourth weekend, Monday, June 27 is the last quarter.

Yes I definitely prefer it to be over weekend. The less vacation time I need to take, the better.

Maybe we should pick the weekend with the most favorable tides. Either a "halibut" tide, or a decent morning incoming?
