our trip might get scrubbed. big swells and a low tide might shut down the harbor entrance on sunday morning. for anyone traveling that has not left yet, sit tight until the end of the day. the landing will call us and let us know. the coast guard will make the call this afternoon.
THANKS FOR INFO! :) BUT :( BECAUSE IT MIGHT GET CANCELLED...
Looking like 15 + swells at 15-20 seconds apart. .. Good surfing
The party at Alan's will still continue.
Yeah, it's cancelled. Big swells, the coast guard will likely close the bar, swells coming in 15 feet every 20 seconds.

Ok that stinks!!!!!!
Now lets plan another one very soon...like next week.....
Sorry to hear this --
However, the best thing is getting together to tell stories and have a little fun.
I know that Tim has it all covered as resident Mastiere Chef de' Cuisine O de Pescadero -- but Taco Temple is just down the Road for one of your meals.
No fun fishing in a washing machine -- and risky to boot.
Best,
Fred
Hmm...glad I made it up for the 9/19 trip.
Sorry to hear. How about perch fishing or maybe fishing in the harbor for halibut?
Brian,
20 footers coming up the beach north of Morro Rock.
Find me a pier....
Thanks Tim and everybody for doing all the leg work, We'll get'em next time. Sheridan
i think i will do channel islands after seeing you guys at cayucos. anyone else wants to do this? Alan T. are you spending the wknd at "the beach house"? the Mirage has an overnight for $165 c'mon guys let's do this...
Okay! Now I regret not going even more! All they can do is eat drink and share stories! I'm pretty good at those things.

sorry, i've gotta get back. i might already be in the dog house for taking off so long.
If conditions are that bad, are boats going to go out of Channel islands on Sunday? I know it's further south and around the corner but still...
Should be fine, I think in Morro it's just getting out of the harbor.
Ya ,sorry guys.
The big boat is short a guy for Sat and Sunday.
Going out of Moss come Hell or High Water.
This is practice for the Hawaii crossing which will be 2 - 3 man next spring.
Best ,

Video to follow😎

Getting out is easy,
It's getting back in.
I went out of moss one day last year in a blow, I was taking water over the bow four times before I got through th jaws. Should have taken the hint then but I had a couple of old navy vets onboard that needed to catch a Salmon so we ventured on out. My boat handled it fine but the poor vets couldn't stand and when we finally hooked up we lost the fish passing the rod to one of the vets. Seems like the veterans derby has landed on the worst weather day of the spring the last few years. I wasn't able to take my eyes off the seas or my hands off the wheel for even a second, we fished three hours and gave up and it was the hairiest crossing to get back in that I have ever had and I have beach landed many times.
Moss landing is one of our favorite launch sites -- caught a lot of Salmon, rockfish, and Sand Dabs over the years
About 21 years ago we fished for Salmon after mooring at the Yacht Club Harbor the night before.
We were in the 21' BL Trophy with a hard cabin.
Morning was great weather -- early afternoon the wind and swells came up quickly. We were up a little ways past Santa Cruz when we decided to come in.
Should have just gone into Santa Cruz -- but ended up fighting a worsening situation all of the way back to Moss. 12' to 15' swells at intervals around 10 seconds. Pretty happy to get back in safely. PFD's were on and knuckles were white.
On the wheel and working the throttle all of the way in.
No fun.
Best,
Fred
Fred that happened to me last October, I was smart enough that time to pull into Santa Cruz for the night. it was already dark and I would have fought darkness and seas to get back to Moss, the next morning was a pleasant ride home.
I've gone out of Morro Bay many times on the Admiral and the princess, the drill is put on the pdf's and all the passengers on the back deck. Then sit in the harbor mouth and time the swells using the radar. Coming in you can sit and watch the swells, not quite as hairy and you can ride them in. Those guys go in almost anything must be bad if the C G pulled the plug.

might get cancelled too because as of today only 2 are booked and might get transferred to the Pacific Islaner the 12th. Because of this decided not to make the trip to Cayucos. :( :( :( Alan T. and the rest of the guys, especially Justin, will meet sometime in the future...maybe the 1st 8-10 day AT.com fishing adventure.
tight lines!
