 Taking the lead on this one as per Bryan's request. I talked to Glenn at Moro Bay Landing and we decided on May 22, 2015

 This is what we got: 20-24 pre paid customers @ $69.00 will give us the option to pay an additional $30 each to close out the boat "San Pedro Special" and make the charter ours...Food, drink, fish cleaning all extra.

 The trip will be 7:00am to 3:00pm Friday May 22, 2015...This is a 3/4 day trip...We can discuss challenges, jackpots, ect. in the coming weeks. I need you to call Glenn and reserve your spot ASAP so we can turn this into a private charter.


                                                                                                        Here is what you need to know:

Reservations: Call Glenn at 1(805)771-5500 and book your reservation...Be sure to tell him it's for Big Tim's Friday Fishn' Trip May 22, 2015 (I will be in contact with him to gather a list)

Book online:       https://morrobaylanding.fishingreservations.net/sales/index.php?pageno=1

For those in need of a room: Motel 6 - 1(805)979-9808 and they have several rooms available for Thursday May 21, 2015 ... Cost is $61.99 and I'm sure we can get people to spit the rooms...many nice hotels in Moro Bay.


I'm sure I/we will come up with some cool challenges...Spinners & Jigmasters only??? ect...

Let's fill this boat with just us guys and gals

Big Tim!

I'm on for this May 22, 2015 trip.  And will call on Monday to book my spot.

Question, what happens if we do not get the required number of anglers??? 

Also, for your Bay Area Folks going, I'm driving the wife's Yukon, can take total of 6 plus gear.

Wayne:
  I set this up as a fishing trip. I'm going, Glenn is going,you and whom ever else is going. If we don't have enough to charter we will fish with whoever local goes as well. Glenn has a minimum to run and I believe it's 12 or 14 .. My boy's will want to go, ect. and I'm sure I can get a few others to go as well if needed.If we run short of a charter we only pay $69.00 each and have a great day.

Let's just fish and enjoy life  ;D

Do you think I should bring my International 80 with the Big Harnell full roller?
Will we have any time for trolling?
I know Darren would like to see at least one 14/0 Senator on board. ;)

No trolling, but it would definitely get a laugh or 2 if you bring your Harnell and 80 ... Think light tackle..Jigmasters and spinners...If you are in 200-240' with a current up to 1lb. weight and and a rock cod rig...Me I like 4-6oz jigs and a 50' flip cast. If we get shallow then game on. Most of these boats do not allow overhead casting...Cattle wagon safety  :-\ If we wind up with a charter we most likely can ask for some privileges. Maybe the 80 & Harnell with a 2lb. weight will work but your'e going to be tired  ;D

Probably a Shimano TLD Star 15-30 with a Okuma Cedros jigging stick.
Heavy rig, Penn 349, (In Honor of Lee and my Grandpa) w/a Diawa 6' 20/50.
I might throw in an old school Dam Quick Super on a Diawa 7' 15/30 just to represent the spinners......

I have been experimenting with salt water fly's for a while now so I am sure to throw some in  for "testing".

From Glenn

We'll probably try about 50' to 100' to start... 2oz-4oz jigs and swimbait territory. We may have to move deeper if the bite is off in the shallows (depends on the swell) If the bite is good in shallow water, we'll stay there. But if the shallow water bite is off, be prepared to fish 150' to 200'

California Rock cod and Ling cod.  Sounds like white sea bass is showing further south, I wonder if the will make it up by then?

Me too...I just can't pass up a chance to be sarcastic. I will take my Penn Conflict 6000 w/Tsunami 7' 20-40 & a few jigmaster types...If we go shallow then it will be a blast thowing light jigs and swim baits.

I tend to fish "Old School " because I inherited so much gear.
I have another Harnell , 10/25 I think w/a 2/0 mint Penn that was my Dads for flipping underhanded.

Not many reports lately. We have 7 for sure and I would really like to have at least 12. I do not believe there will be a problem picking up enough locals to make this a for sure go at 12, but I would like to take chance out of the equation. My son Mike most likely will not be able to go as he entered the real world and now has a job.

We got 12 so we don't have to worry about chance coming into the equation. I am sure we will pick up a few locals as well. I am having a tuff go getting the $ together for a high dollar part for my car to pass smog, is anyone coming thru Fresno on their way to Moro Bay Thursday ? I have a room with 2 beds already and will most likely not need a ride, but it is always better to be prepared.

Guys: I talked to Patriot Sportfishing and found out the San Pedro Special boat was hauled out and waiting on Coast Guard inspection and should be ready to go in the next week and half to 2 weeks, which is fine for the 22nd. As for me I have to bail out on another fishing trip. Sorry but finances and family are first. You guys still have 12 people and the trip will be a go and most assuredly will pick up a few more locals at the end.

Sorry, Tim

i buy the 3 pound blocks at the local chinese market, usually one block per person should do it. it's a very simple two hook shrimp fly rig with a weight at the bottom.  rather than hang strips of squid, i hang the whole squid by the pointy end.  it's the most simple rig imaginable!

It is the same type of rig that has worked off the California coast forever.
Just the using whole squid thing had me imagining some complex rig that I did not want to spend my first hour on the boat tying.
Dom are you coming?
Title: Re: Big Tim's Friday Fishn' Trip May 22, 2015 Moro Bay CA.
Post by: Dominick on May 07, 2015, 09:40:40 PM
No I'm not going.  Alan is right about just hooking the squid through the pointy end and you are good to go.  However, I rig the squid for short strikes.  You run the hook through the tail, follow through with the line then hook through the mantle and end up with the hook in between the eyes.  This works best on small squid.  Dominick

Post by: Big Tim on May 08, 2015, 04:10:44 AM
Shrimp fly rig with a 12oz +/- weight and long strips or whole squid is a killer in these waters.I like a jig 4oz to 8oz depending on the water depth with a dropper loop 7/0 hook teaser about 12-16" above with a whole squid hooked thru the tip, pulled thru and reversed hooked thru the body about 3" down. If they are there they will bite.

The boat will provide bait. Most likely cut up squid. If you want whole squid it advised to bring a box or 2. This is usually available at check in.

Just heard from my buddy Rick, and he is "tapping out", WILL NOT be attending this trip, something about his son graduating from college.

I'll be there and again, if any one needs a Hotel 6 room reservation for $55/night, I am holding an extra until closer to the event, and if not needed, will cancel it.

REALLY looking forward to meeting you AT.com members on this trip!

i spoke to glenn about bait.  not sure what they normally do, but glen sells 5 pound blocks of whole squid for $12, so i will be getting one of those.  when we fish on my boat, we typically go through 2 pounds per person.  if you limit out on rockfish first and have extra squid for lingcod, you can hang two or three squid just for giggles.  it's gotta be more appetizing that just one!

yes, i have a possible back up plan.  apparently, the two shops do not get along, but i've known glenn at morro bay landing for 30 years and i've know frank at virg's for 20 years.  glenn is going to let me know by wednesday.  if the san pedro is still down, i will talk to frank on wednesday evening about getting us moved over.  either way, we should be able to fish.

Also, last call on the second room I have reserved at the Hotel 6 for $55/night.  If no one wants it, I'll release it back to H6 later today.

I'll be in MB by 3pm, it's an area of the world I've never seen, so with a paid rental and half a tank of gas, I'm driving around.

What time do you want us for dinner???  Assuming I can find the home!!!!!   Keep your cell on!  I will be bringing my wife's homemade  double chocolate chip brownies for dessert - and man are these good!!!!!  Really looking forward to this fishing trip with all of you.
