Sport halibut season to re-open

kraken33 · Jun-09-2008, 01:28 PM

Still trying to put the arrangements together Tommy. With the US opening we are having trouble finding a place to stay. The usual places are booked. I'll let you know when I know. As for where we are starting...unless its too nasty to make it to swiftsure I think we will probably end up somwhere on the nw side of the swiftsure closure. If it is a little sporty we might just do the garbage dump. There is growing talk amoung my group to wait until the next weekend when its isnt a gang bang at the marina.

You had me worried there for a second. As soon as I read your post, I had Dad call Big Salmon and reserve a spot at the dock. You must be talking about the five star hotels and motels of Neah Bay that are booked up?

WE WILL BE IN SLIP C31. COME SAY HI.

not so much the moorage that we are trying to get is a place to stay. 4 guys trying to sleep on one 22' boat is a litte too cozy for us. The Cape and the Hobuck are booked, snowcreek hasnt gotten back to me yet. Any suggestions? I guess we could do the tent thing, but that is a last resport I think. We can get two guys sleeping in the boat, and one in the truck in the parking lot but two guys in the truck would be less than ideal. I am sure we'll figure out something.

You've got to toughen those guys up a bit. I will be in my boat alone. There will be four sleeping in the truck. Two in the front on the seats and two in the back. Mostly it is just one night with a bit on Friday night.

I will hit the sw corner of the closure and then hit canada the next day. Too rough and it will be garbage dump.

Look for me in c-33.

I am pretty sure I would rather spend a night in jail than try to sleep 4 dudes in one truck. Each to their own though. Your guys are tougher than me Tracker

We might see if there is a spot at the campground.

Will just about be a full crew of Russians. If they could handle Stalin, I guess they can handle some tight quarters. Three are brothers so I guess they already know each other!

I can't hold a candle to that one. I cant even imagine what that truck will smell like come Sunday morning.

and I thought two guys in a truck was roughing it

I think I will be so drunk I wont care where I am sleeping.... Just hope I can make the wake up call in the morning! Guess I have to since I will be the capt and all.

See you guys out there!

If my captain says we'll be there then I guess we'll be there. I'll be sleeping on one of the fish cleaning tables. Drop by and say hi

trackerputnam · Jun-09-2008, 06:44 PM

I can wave at you from my boat! I will relay the message on down to Cornfed! I would fly a BD flag if I had one but likely will have my IF flag up! looks to be a fun time!
