*CAPE SAN MARTIN SPECIAL* Sun 04-17-2016-Endeavor 12 Hour Trip-Morro Bay

[Big Tim]

I hate to write this but I may be forced to miss the trip.  I have been having some health issues the past month that for some reason seem to be getting worse instead of better.  I am unable to sit for more than a few minutes without experiencing excruciating pain in my hip, and I haven't figured out how to get to the rendezvous standing up?
I'm hoping things will improve by Saturday and I will drive on down.  You'll know I made it when You see me standing in Alan's folks backyard holding a glass of scotch!

Let me know so I can cancel that room I saved. Hope you feel better.

Tim

[David Hall]

PM sent Tim, cancel the room I got a good sleeping bag.

just a thought...

The last AT trip I was on last July in San Francisco for salmon there were 6 of us on a 1 day trip.

Of course we all brought enough gear for a 3 day offshore.

The capt laughed and stowed it all below.

If 15 (or 16, 17?) of us AT'ers load up like we like to do... well...

I'm having trouble keeping it a 2 setups... think 3 will keep away the panic attack... maybe 4

Anybody else have my problem?

I'm only bringing 2 setups....... My 6'6" Tusnami rod for my beefed up 501 with 25# BBG and my 6'6" Shimano rod for my Spheros 8000 with 65# PP.......now tackle is a different story 

I'd prefer to have braid on the 501 but Fred was nice enough to spool it up with fresh Berkeley Big Game for me before handing it off to Jonathan who's gonna hand deliver it to me Saturday night at Alan's house...

[Big Tim]

PJ..Are you fishing Saturday?

BT

[foakes]

Don't forget your clamp and lugs for that Tib frame on the 501, PJ.

Best to install the lugs with Marine grease in the holes, and on the threads -- snug everything up -- but don't overdo it -- it is going into aluminum, so just needs to be snug.

Good Luck & Lots of good fellowship and fun for All...

Best Regards,

Fred

Thanks for the breakdown on your gear selection guys.

Packing has always been the tough part of travel for me.

What to bring, what to bring, bring it all!

Often looked like a refugee.

Thanks for the reminder.......

I am bringing three setups as well.

Hey Tim, is there generally enough rod holders for a full boat?

Probably about 20 -25 rod holders total per side as I remember.

[theswimmer]

Sold Out Timmy!
Was that you Dom?

[foakes]

Jonathan,

I am in Fresno right now -- and not back home until around 10:30 tonight.

If I can just drop off the reel at your house early tomorrow morning, for PJ?

Would your wife be available for me to just quickly drop it off, or?

Thanks for doing this, I kind of volunteered you without asking!

Best,

Fred
