WILL GOING TO TRY TO MAKE I TRIP TO BIG SUR THIS SAT. OR SUN. WEATHER RIGHT NOW DOES NOT LOOK LIKE TO MUCH FUN. BUT IT CAN CHANGE. LETS THINK POSTIVE . JUST A HEADS UP I WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON IT. CHEF

Steve,

I'm interested depending upon weather, wife, etc...

I'll put it out to my other friends that Big Sur is a possibility, just keep us up to date on the weather conditions.

ill go if the weather is good.sound like fun to me.    

Hey GTO:

is there any chance of carpooling with you if its a go this weekend?  I was thinking of heading out.  I'm up in CAmpbell this weekend.

thx,

martin

Looks like the weather forecast is looking a little better.

Chef,

I've got 2 newbies interested in coming along. Neither has done a surf launch. Let me know if the conditions would be passable for 2 newbies. To make things worse, one has a FnD and the other an Outback, not the best surf launchers IMHO.

Between Mill Creek or Limekilm, which would be the easier launch.

Thanks,

The weather reports got starkly better today. looks like it'll be alright for newbies. Bring drift anchors just in case though.

Mill creek may have a more treacherous launch, depending on the tide, but it's close to the parking lot and in the open fishing zone. A little ways further south in pacific valley there's a spot thats got a flawless launch, though a longish portage. With several guys and one or more good carts I'd go from there.

When are you guys heading down?  Trying to decide where I'll be fishing sat.

i would say its not a good place for newbies.theres to many submerged rocks that pop up out of the blue.the weather can change way to quick out there .not alot of emergency landings .its also not the easiest place to launch and land.ive had some close calls out there before.

thats just my opinion

as for your friends elric , surf launchs i don't recordmend. not that they can't go, but  depends on how adventuress they are.

as i said i am heading down there for the day and will check out what the wind and surf is doing, to give us a better idea if it is worth the drive. watch for my post friday late afthernoon. ciao for now chef

Chef,

Have we clearly decided the launch point? How much farther south is Pacific Valley and would the long portage be too much of a hassle.

I've got one guy who's had his FnD for more than a year w/o ANY fish and I would really like to get him one, let alone his limit.

The other guy, got his Outback only a couple days ago. Tho more athletic, a first time surf launch might be a lil too much, too early.

I'm not too sure of GTO's and his Bro's capabilities as well, but I think one might be in a short yak, like a Frenzy or something.

So we may not have the experience as found w/ the last group.

For Safety reasons, I'd like to go to Pacific Valley on Josh's recommendations. Unfortunately, i haven't fished anywere near this far south, so i'd like to go w/ someone w/ experience. Otherwise, i'd guide the group myself.

Btw, can we get a headcount on who's going?

hey Elric everyone of the launchs are a "surf launch" each one of the beaches are difer from each other. oen advantage that limeklin has great protection from the wind. chef and your friends are more that happy to come the will should get there limets and some great shollw water rock fishing chefstefano

NP- looking forward to it. BTW, w/ Memorial Day weekend, how crazy will parking be? I'm picturing us going down fri evening and finding all the roadside parking gone?
JTF sez he's in but won't be off work til about 6pm so we might be arriving in the dark.
