[Bill B]

We have snow starting this evening (Monday) and expected to snow all day Tuesday......leaving me Wednesday and Thursday am to dig out......I have the snowblower staged and fueled, 2 bags of ice melt and 3 boys to shovel.....kitchen is stocked, beer fridge is stocked.....if all goes well, I will see everyone Thursday pm....Bill

[jlezama]

Does anybody know if we are fishing shallow again?
Or will it be a 300 ft drop again

[Swami805]

If the weather forecast is correct I'd think we'd stay under 200' anyway. Hard to hold the boat in those kind of conditions.  Bring it all though, you never know, might take some shots deep

[alantani]

i have to bail.  i've had this stupid cold for several weeks now.  at least the covid tests have been negative.  anyway, it's getting worse and it's starting to settle into my lungs.  i'm going to give the keys to juan.  pj knows where the spart keys are.  go get 'em, guys!!!!!!

[alantani]

bill, you're back with juan in the double room.  neil, you have the couch.  i've slept on the couch before.  it's really comfy!!!!!

[Swami805]

Sorry to hear that Alan. Hope you feel better

[Bill B]

Sorry to hear your under the weather...gonna miss you....hey maybe now I have a shot at the jackpot fish 😜. Bill

[Vintage Offshore Tackle]

Good call to take it easy Alan, and give your body a chance to fight off those germs, but we are going to miss you.  Thanks for saving everyone a ton of money by donating the use of your house!

I am bringing two good used Mountain Cork reel bags (see photo at the bottom of this post) as prizes for the largest fish and the heaviest sack on Friday, so if you have a contender, don't forget to give it a shot on the scale at jackpot time.  If the same person gets both the heaviest fish and the heaviest sack, the second bag goes to the heaviest fish caught by someone else.

If any of you are going to be around on Thursday before 4:30 or on Saturday morning, you might want to take a look at the used rod and reel selection at Jerry's Marine in Morro Bay.  Mention Alan Tani and get 20% off already reasonable prices.  Below is a list of what was in stock as of last week.  I am also planning to deliver another load of mostly Penn reels and some good old Sabre blanks on Thursday afternoon.  Looking forward to seeing everyone on the Avenger.

Thanks,

Randy
