[Afishinado]

After trying to accomplish too much in too little time overtown, I arrived in Avalon around 2:30 this afternoon. My boat was still floating and my skiff was still attached, however, the recent storm/winds blew things up pretty good. Broken cleat and scarred railing on my skiff. Not to worry, the light boats, three of them, were at anchor outside Pebbly Beach, "Good sign", I thought to myself. I mentioned it to a couple island boyz and the prevailing opinion was that they were setting up for the weekend. Turned on the freezer in the garage, put a couple ice chests into the skiff and went out to get them filled with fresh dead. "Where'd they go?" The light boats were gone. All of them! Bummer. Not sure if they left the island or headed backside. Could not raise them on the radio. I will check again in the morning and file a report for the weekend. Still open to the idea of prefishing the island for the WSB Tourney if there are any takers for Saturday.
