GONZAGA in OCTOBER

[makobob]

Hashem, yes there are sharks and Sea lions in the area. I store my fish on back deck covered by a wet towel or gunny sack. I learned YEARS AGO not to put them over the side. NIGHTMARES. Yes I have a rack on my truck.
BTW I dream of Baja most nights, it is food for the soul, almost like being in church or on the water.

A couple of more questions: >>
Q: Are sharks and or Sea lions much of problem with regards to keeping the catch in the water with a game clip?>>
>>
Q: Bob, does your new truck have a rack to carry the kayaks on top, or will they travel in the bed of the truck?>>

I will add them (plus answers) to the previous post of several questions.

A humble request---- can the real name of the anglers who are going be posted next to their web name?>>

Hashem--- AKA Mahigeer is going. YES,YES, and YES. I will also pay for a meal at the restaurant.

P.S. I was looking for old reports about similar trips and found this thread:

However, all of the pictures are gone. Any chance to re-post the pictures?


Thanks>>

Thanks Bob.

Before I went to my first GTG at Avalon in 2006, to meet and fish with a group of anglers that I met on line, I could not sleep for two nights.


I still get excited when I decide to go, but not as much. I will be there this weekend for two days and one night of non-stop fishing at the Cabrillo Mole.

Thanks in advance.
