Morro Bay fishing trip, 12 hours on the Endeavor. Nov. 6, 2016:
Working on a deal ;D Tabby and i have been talking and since I think we will have a hard time meeting an all inclusive deal for 20 people at $200.00 each to charter the boat we are hashing out a price to just charter the Endeavor for a 12 hour trip to Cape San Martin. This means we pay extra for food, beverage,tips, fish cleaning, ect... If we get enough to commit at their price ? then we have some negotiating power to get an all inclusive deal. Waiting on Tabby's response. She will be with Brad tomorrow on the boat and talk to him again about it.
****UPDATE 9/27/2016 @ 7:25PM*** $3100.00 to charter the boat and Tabby is trying to get us a discount. We can still talk about more if we get enough to commit. BT
Tim
The show of hands:
1) Big Tim
2) Steve Williams
3) Sheridan
4) Alan Tani
5) Justin
6) Andrew
7) Randy (VOST)
8- Jonathan with the BBQ!
9) Mike

I'm in of coarse ;D I will most likely have to secure the charter with a deposit, so let's get some hands raised!
Bt
Sounds good. Put me down. Thanks Sheridan

The Large ugly kind ;D Ling Cod, Boccaccio, bolina, reds , and of coarse I will be looking for a smaller starie than the one that won me the coveted carp from Jonathan ;D You should go Dom.

What are we cooking?
We will have to suffer thru without Miss Mari and her lasagana as she is in training for a 24 hour race the following weekend and will not be distracted......
Best,
JT
I'm for BBQ!

SwEEEET Randy! & Welcome home. Glad you had a great trip!
BT
Thanks for doing all of the work to put this charter together Tim. We are still in Maine but on our way home on Friday. I'm really looking forward to finally getting to fish with you guys.

...I'm really looking forward to finally getting to fish with you guys.
You've already fished with some of us in 2015 on the SOA!
Saw that even the Fiesta crew was using the old traditional (and weaker) dropper loop on the recent Morro Bay 9/19 trip. Old habits die hard...remember the Spider Hitch I'd shown you at Cedros? What works for YT will do also for rockfish. Once you pullup bait on the Spider Hitch, switch over to Alan's trap rig. ;D
yeah, five ling cod grabbed on, then let go. the 6th one finally stuck.

You're right, and I had a blast (until we started that nasty ride home), but I haven't fished with Tim and Steve, and I have missed all of the previous opportunities to fish locally with any of us except for one time with Sheridan.
OK, Just got off the phone with Brad League the owner of the Endeavor and he said because the Sunday trip is so popular that he is firm on the $3100.00 (for 1 person or 35) for a 12 hour charter to Cape San Martin. So 20 @ $150.00 + a couple of bucks each is the best we can do and this will not include food, drink, fish cleaning, ect... He requires 1/2 deposit to hold the spot and has a few locals he could reach out to to help fill in the load. I really don't want to fish 35 on that boat but if we can't raise the $ we can just pay regular fare and be crowded. He also said once the charter is paid for he would be more than willing to work out a food and fish cleaning price for the whole boat. I can get more info later, but he had to drop the phone and grab a gaff ;D.
BT
Tim... is the date at all flexible? Can we do better on a weekday?
I agree with you and don't want to go with 35 people. 18 - 20 works.
thanks

Steve we could do better on a week day or even a shorter trip. But people that work M-F may find this a bit tougher. He does Wednesday 12 hours 18 @ $150. Right now I can go any day but that could change tomorrow if I accept a job. The Wednesday Nov. 2 has 16 open spots and we can't charter once people have paid. Friday is a 10 hour trip that is around $2600.00 to charter, Saturday Nov. 5 is already chartered. I'm open for suggestions, but we have to have Alan involved or we get hotel rooms.
Tim
the cayucos house has been reserved for the entire time that justin is visiting. any shot at maybe monday, the 7th? :-\

Yes...Friday or Monday works as well. I will call Brad tonight and get more pricing for 10 hour and 12 hour trips. 12 hour trips are to Cape San Martin anything less would be fishing elsewhere. We could private charter a 1/2 day or 3/4 shallow water or whatever we want if we pay the price.

That means the boat stops and goes up and down, up and down, up and down; and... burp excuse me I gotta get to the rail. ;D Dominick
Count me in if it's on the 6th.
Mike
well the knee specialist recommended I have knee surgery so unless someone is willing to tie me to the rail and babysit me I think I'll be unable to attend...
Theres a slim chance i can go but it'll depend on when i have the surgery, post surgery restructions and how fast i start to recover....
I'm beginning to think I'm never gonna be able to attend any of these "fishing parties".....
Pj although everyone's different I have a friend who was playing golf 2 weeks after surgery. Dominick

I hear ya and that is my hope but the ground is a little more stable on a golf course than on a boat ;D ;D ;D
PJ, you get well first off & I can guarantee you that we don't need much of a reason to fish or party ;D
BT
OK,so far I don't see enough interest interest to warrant a change of dates (Sunday Nov. 6, 2016) or for me to bust out with a $1500.00 deposit to make this a private charter. If this changes I will act accordingly. This being said I think it will be in our best interest that anyone that wants to go book their trip at : https://morrobaylanding.fishingreservations.net/sales/ find Sunday Nov. 6 on the 12 hour " Cape San Martin Special" click on the green dot to the left and follow the directions to secure your spot... This will be a hoot & Alan is way to giving of his time and resources (his house is really close to the beach ;D )
For now...Peace Out ;D
BT
It's gonna be a very last minute decision for me... If you hear a guy knocking on the door late the night before it might be me....
Tim,
Do we have any kind of head count?
I'm going to pay up tomorrow if we have some committed people.
Otherwise I'm going to just camp out at Cayucas for the time that Justin is here😇
Best

PS
PM me your phone # so we can talk about the salmon trip with Dom.

This is starting to sound like visiting royalty. ::) Dominick
i wish we could get mr. brooklyn a little farther north. he's headed to los angeles and i just don't have the connections down there! :-\

I just thought we'd catch up for some tacos and a beer!
Seems like as good an excuse as any to get a line in the water though ;)

Justin, let me tell you, the AT royalty has treated me like royalty on visits both in the Northeast and in Cali....one could not make up a better crowd. I was invited back and I hope the folks weren't just being polite because I'm hooked now.....no pun intended. Enjoy your trip and be safe!

John I don't know what you have but even my wife said "what a nice guy." What does she know. Dominick
John, I'm not sure about AT Royalty, but you may have a different view after hangin' with the wreckn' crew ;D Not for the faint of heart ;D
