IFISH - Jetty Fishing Invitation April 24th

[Bait O' Eggs]

Anybody and everybody including lurkers are invited to an ifish gathering on Saturday April 24 at the North Jetty (Near Coast Guard Tower). I think we have done this 3 years now, making this year the 4th.

Sunset will be at 8:50 pm

High tide is 5:02 PM 5.8 feet
Low tide is 10:05 PM 2.8 feet

There should not be much water moving with a 3 foot tide change in the evening. (Slower currents make for easier fishing)

For those that have never been to one of these gatherings. We usually have a BBQ starting around 5 - 6 pm +/-. It is a bring your own dinner to BBQ, though in past years there has been enough food to feed a small army. Several hours of swapping stories and meeting other ifishers follows dinner. About the time it gets dark we move to the Jetty to try and catch some fish.

Fish any way you want, but typical jetty fishing at night is done with a lantern/headlamp. Medium strength rod and tossing and retreiving lead headed jigs with rubber worms of some sort. 1/4 to 1/2 ounce jigs are pretty typical with 3 to 5 inch rubber twisty tail jigs. A bucket is nice for holding your catch.

We assemble at the coast guard tower at the North Jetty at Barview. Just north of Garibaldi turn by the Barview store, go thru Barview campground staying left till you get to the jetty.

I will see if I can get a couple bushels of oysters again to cook on the BBQ

Dress appropriately, and walking on the jetty can be dangerous. If you plan to come, please post up so I will know I wont be there alone.

I look forward to meeting some more ifishers. It would also be nice if you can bring the sunshine with you so we dont get rained on.

OH i think i might have to go meet a few ifishers, bee n waiting to hear about this, can I say let the good times roll.

[WaterDog]

I will likely attend. Haven't missed one of these yet so why start now I guess.

Besides, as I was told, "someone has to cook the oysters".

[Bait O' Eggs]

Rich it wouldnt be the same without you anchoring the corner of the BBQ with an oyster knife in your hand. Dont forget the big gloves, those shells get HOT!!!

Bring Rose also, I again look forward to eating something I have never heard of

Guess I will take a weekend off from Springer fishing and bring my wife to the get together. We love to Jetty fish and I think we have tried it there once but not at nite, sounds like a blast. We will probably come up Fri nite so does any one know if the camp grounds at Barview are first come first serve?

[wannacatchem]

Yes they are...should see the line the week before the fourth of july

[fisher-price]

Sounds like a great time. I will do my best to get there and meet some folks. I too love to B-B-Q oysters and have a special recipe that works great.

So I may bring a few myself and the fixins.

[STGRule]

Thanks for putting this together, Roy. It was great fun. Met good people and ate good food. The fishing was okay too.
PS I have the folding table that was sitting next to the BBQ. To whom does it belong?

[Jennie@ifish]

Doh! Judyfish! I didn't see your message till now!
I had hats, too! :smile:
Anyhow, send me your addie, and I'll get one to you!

BOE, thank you SO much for doing this! It brought many smiles to me, and to Bill, both!

You are a trooper. I couldn't help but wonder, and feel guilty about not helping to clean up. Was it easy this year? We should do a clean up crew next year. I volunteer to help!

I love this event! Just the right amount of people! :smile:

[Green Willie]

The table belongs to me. I had to leave early, so I left it behind. I'll send you a PM.
