Title: Morro Bay trip feeler....Nov 4 or 11?
Post by: pjstevko on September 09, 2023, 02:27:14 PM
I haven't been fishing since the SOA July 4th 3-day trip so needless to say I'm itching to get back on the water and I've been thinking about a Morro Bay trip for a while now. Last year my wife had a lot of fun meeting everyone at dinner pre and post fishing and she asked if there were any trips in the works again this fall and I said not yet. She would come down with me and Christmas shop while we fish and since she asked about it, I don't think she'll mind if I get a plan started and see what happens from there. So how about a Morro Bay trip....

Sat Nov 4th or 11th

I know Wayne always says "If you plan it, they will come!" but wanted to see what dates best for everyone....

What say you gang????

I thought our glorious DFG closed Rock Cod from 350 feet and up?

But I'm not up on the regs down there.

Funny though, my bride also wants to make a trip to SLO to visit our daughter.

Pencil me in.

I prefer the 4th to avoid the holiday traffic of the 11th.

Thanks,

Steve

I can't make the 4th but I would love to go on the 11th, or anytime in mid-November through 11/19.

Looks like the regs are the same as up here.

50 fathoms or 300 feet.

Oh... my young friend PJ!!!!

YOU WILL FIND OUT in life, it takes SOMEONE to start the planning.  Here in my life, all of our parties in our home START with Jennifer saying, "Let's thinking about a gathering on this date, for this reason".

So, YOU saying let's fish out of Morro Bay is the START of what will be another EPIC fishing trip, ALL because of YOU PJ saying let's go fishing.

For me, Nov 4 & 11 are WIDE OPEN, in fact Nov. is WIDE OPEN, you know why????

I'm RETIRED!!!!!  or code is "I'm 'BILL B'd'!!!!!  Sorry Bill for dragging you in here!!!!

Let's get it going...

Wayne

It's looking like the 11th will work better for a few people I've talked with but I'm gonna give it a couple more days before I lock in the date....

Whatever day we choose I'm already to hang with the group and catch a few fish!

I'll go with whatever the majority decides but...SLO is a tourist town and hotel prices are inflated for holidays.

Nov 11th is Veterans Day Weekend.

Selfishly if not the 4th than the 18th.  :d

But, I'll go with the majority!

i have a small, dumpy little vacation house in cayucos.  it's cramped and has only one bathroom, but it's alot of fun.  the only rule is that you have to help clean up.  no bailing early because you've gotta be somewhere or you want to beat traffic.

Haw!

Now I know.

It'll be a hard sell convincing my Bride to stay with a bunch of stinky fishermen but we'd love to make a cameo appearance!

I'm in for the trip.

Do you deal with Verge's or is this a charter and we go thought PV?

Can't wait to meet you guys!!!!!

Steve

PS:

Alan, do you rent out this home???

Like I said we visit our daughter in SLO A-LOT and would much rather pay you than a hotel.

Let me know.

Toyota Corolla, no one will notice!
