Title: last minute stuff!
Post by: alantani on June 02, 2014, 08:13:37 PM
gentlemen, two weeks to go!  the only thing you absolutely have to do for this trip is to be on time and bring a driver's license and a passport.  we can find you a spare toothbrush, maybe even an extra pair of chones!  don't have tackle?  no problem.  but you have to have your driver's license and passport.  

i just pulled out my passport and threw it into my duffle bag.  please do likewise as soon as you can.  remember that this is only a 5 day trip.  three rods, a box of cheap hooks, and maybe some leader material is all you absolutely have to have for fishing.  a few 4, 8 and 12 ounce weights would be nice, two packs of small sabiki's, a half dozen yo-yo irons, cheap $5 side cutters and needle nose pliers in a belt loop holder would be nice.  bring some sunscreen, cheap sunglasses and a cheap hat.  that's it for now.  more to follow!  alan

Okay.  Chonies was a new word for me so I looked it up.  Here is what I found to save you all a lot of trouble.  Dominick

chones

chones n.pl. underwear, especially undershorts or panties. Also chonies, choners. Editorial Note: Despite its proximity to a mention of lingerie, chonies in the 1928 citation is probably a typographical error for chorines. Etymological Note: (Mexican) Spanish slang chones, perhaps from the Mexican Spanish calzones 'underwear' or less probably from the English long johns. The Oxford English Dictionary includes a 1717 first citation for poncho from Frezier's Voyage to the South Sea in which Chony appears; however, it may be unrelated: "The Spaniards have taken up the Use of the Chony, or Poncho...to ride in, because the Poncho keeps out the Rain." (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)

Spoken like a lawyer. ;D ;D
I don't think your reference is listed in compliance with APA or Chicago.

Don't forget a few cast-a-bubbles just in case all you have are anchovies.

we should have good quality sardines.  the bait receivers often hold back the best baits for the long range boats.

Alan,

Do you know if Miguel will cook fish if we bring it in?  I will be coming off my weekend trip on Sunday so if I have fish I would like to share some with the group.
