GS13 - It's a wrap - Reports start on page 27

Weather is looking great...this is normal weather for a GS weekend!   

I remember the last rainy GS like 2 years ago??  Never seen the campgrounds so empty before.  Some people even left in the middle of the night on a Thursday.   

The older I get the less I am inclined to go out on bad days. I’m keeping an eye on the conditions. Rain doesn’t bother me but south wind+south swell is not exciting.

Likely going to skip the prefishing if the forecast holds. Wednesday looks marginal and Thursday looks like trash.

Will be fun to watch the landings at the beach in any event.

Regardless of the forecast, I'm still going.  My first GS!  Hopefully the weather is decent enough Saturday, and if not I'm always down to party!

Safety first but. Party on land worst case

Anyone doing a gear swap/sale up there?

I’ve got a bunch of 2 and 3# lead weights I’d like to get rid of if anyone is interested.
Aloha,

Isao

Last year, many said they wanted to do a gear swap at the Tides ….. NOBODY showed.
If you are looking to swap the lead for any freshwater gear, I have tons that I don't use.
Mostly new in box premium lures and such (I ran a tackle store for 30 years)
;0)

"I'm MELTING!!!"

Hey, is anyone looking for or have available a room/bed for me?  I'm not keen on dealing with wet camping gear....

Weather window is not looking to good for pre-fishing  and unfortunately it is a 7.5 hr ride for me. My grand plan was to be there Tuesday night.  It's vacation time  to include my father as well. Looks like I may end up fishing locally with my father here in the Monterey bay. 

I look forward to this tournament every year Eric.  .

Still a few days to think about it. Hope to see you all there. If not... Hopefully I will be posting pics of halibut or salmon myself from the Monterey bay area.

Friday is not looking too bad, that may be the only window this year.    Saturday blows though...  going out in  20 knot winds is just asking for trouble.

Correction, you look forward to the fishing, otherwise the forecast wouldn't deter you from showing up!

Same here, I'll probably sit back and listen to the stories of the yard sales.

I do look forward to the fishing but have come to enjoy the area and seeing familiar faces more. I was really looking forward to getting there early, dropping some pots , chasing some pacific halis on my 15.5 aluminum and chilling with my Dad. I couldn't see my Dad being tossed up in some rough sea's as being enjoyable for him..

At 11:00 the wind is 14mph. 

I'll be camping at seafabcustom's spot... I'm also bringing plenty of beer to make sure I've got something to do incase the weather gets worse
