Cedros Sportfishing, August 30 to September 3, 2021

[Aiala]

I stayed overnight at the Ramada last month before my 8-day. It was beyond godawful; not only was the reception desk person an imbecile, but I was forced to change rooms at 9:30 pm because the damned idiots in the room over me allowed their infernal ba***rd kid to incessantly run and jump and bang no matter how many times I had the front desk call them to complain.   

Never, and I do mean NEVER, again... I've already booked the Sea Harbor for next year.

Mike,  thanks for the info, I didnt know about the remodel, but I saw the name change on their website. When i checked the rates last week, they wanted $160 base rate for a room.

Aiala,  sorry to hear of your lousy experience. I spent a few weeks on business travel this year and had similiar experiences, but it wasnt kids playing, it was the adults jumping on the bed🤮.

[rogan]

Question, footwear? Whay do you guys like to wear on the pangas?

[alantani]

I think i just wore Teva's last year. No wahoo,  so there is no danger.  Just remember to spray on the sun screen.

[rogan]

Thanks Alan, i just got a new pair of Keens to replace my worn out ones.

[alantani]

i'll be calling everyone in the next few days!

[Cortez_Conversions]

I've got a room at the Ramada with two bunks if anyone needs the extra bed, let me know.

I've been operating off the "2 3600 Plano box" rule; but I think I'll be way below one gallon.

Oh no... I have a one gallon bag of just plastics...

...I have some serious re-configuring to do


Ron, your pretrip checklists and organization skills are impressive!

[alantani]

going down is not such a big deal.  it's the return trip that is at issue.  most of the tackle that i bring down will stay.  on the return trip, it's rods, reels, a few personal items and fish.  even the old ratty clothes will stay. 

[Ron Jones]

Clothes! I bring 2 pairs of shorts, 2 shirts and 3 pairs of skivvies. Use the laundry service, think light. Imagine you are living out of a cardboard box for a week.

You don't have enough time to soak a gallon of plastics even if you don't fish. Alan used to say 2 3600 boxes, I have one slot of a 3600 box with a half dozen plastics and another with 3 heads. I won't use 1/3 of it.
