How about a clinic?

PeterMac · 04-04-2003, 10:23 AM

Any Salty Dogs interested in getting together and producing some halibut and tuna rigs? I would be willing to buy supplies in advance, and then figure out a cost per rig or something like that. I would need someone to help me get a shopping list together, and I would take it from there.

We could do it at Santanas

as it seems that we are the only ones there early in the evening, or figure out another spot.

Of course, it would be helpful to have somebody come that knows what the heck their doing! [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

Think about it, a cool evening sittin around tying up fishing gear, havin a few cold ones...Any takers :grin: ????

fisher-price · 04-04-2003, 12:13 PM

Aye, name a place and a time. I live in Corvallis though.

f-p

Pilar · 04-04-2003, 12:22 PM

I'm in. Santanas?

When are you guys wanting to do that?

corrirod · 04-04-2003, 12:50 PM

I'm in. I think Santanas is the place because we can have the whole place to ourselves and we can join as many tables together as we need to work on.

I'm open for days but Hali season is getting close so we'd better hurry.

OceanBlue · 04-04-2003, 12:52 PM

It's almost time for another TA meeting anyway. Let's do it!

Pilar · 04-04-2003, 01:00 PM

Jen, are you ready for some tackle tying lessons? Maybe we can get Baitboy to teach us all. If you have not seen him in action, you have really missed something. That guy is amazing.

PeterMac · 04-04-2003, 01:06 PM

Fantastic response guys and gal :grin: !!!

Firday's the best?? We have the 8th, 11th, 25th and the 2nd before FB fishing begins.

I am accumulating a few detail questions on the material needed, and will forward them to the experts on the board. Any other suggestions on materials would be appreciated (if there is any thing else we'll need). Also, I would like to make some tuna teasers as well....

Let me know on the dates

This is going to be fun!

PeterMac

Dynamite · 04-04-2003, 01:10 PM

Being how I am a rookie at both I would love to.

Santanas is good for me or ??????.

Bait O' Eggs · 04-04-2003, 01:10 PM

Pete, I saw the title to this thread and thought you might be needing a penicillin shot or something.

Still working on the tri-clops tuna feathers,

having problems adding a hoochie. But still kicking it around.

Dynamite · 04-04-2003, 01:15 PM

Anyone know a good place to find large- glow in the dark hoochies in the portland area. that would be good for halibuts

corrirod · 04-04-2003, 01:15 PM

BOE, it's still NOT out of the question that he may need a shot! :tongue:

Maybe just a shot of tequila though!

OceanBlue · 04-04-2003, 01:15 PM

John, Uh... Yeah. Everytime I try and get someone to teach me, they just do it for me. :whazzup:

PeterMac · 04-04-2003, 01:57 PM

Roy, Roy, Roy... LMAO you crack me up! :grin: Thanks for coming to my defense there Rod, your right, and Santana's has some of the smoooooooothest ta-kill-ya around

.

As far as dates, I'll throw April 18th out there. That should give me enough time to get supplies put together. Let's see who can make that one.....

PeterMac

Pilar · 04-04-2003, 01:59 PM

Yikessss!

The halibut derby fishery is only a month away.

I'm so glad I took the time to work on my boat this winter instead of wasting that time on non biting river salmon.

Miss B Haven · 04-04-2003, 02:21 PM

Sounds like fun. I need to tie one on! :grin:

Threemuch · 04-04-2003, 02:44 PM

Online for glow in the dark hoochies, etc.

Tyee Tackle

3 six inchers for 2.50.

9" ditch digger 5.50 for two.

PeterMac · 04-04-2003, 02:50 PM

Kurt, I was kust cruising through their web page I found searching for tackle. Need some input on colors, and does anyone know how heavy those barrel weights are on the daisy chain?

Oh ya, colors on Tuna feathers as well. Found them unrigged for $5.50 b4 shipping.

PeterMac

[ 04-04-2003, 03:55 PM: Message edited by: PeterMac ]

Threemuch · 04-04-2003, 03:25 PM

I would buy the unrigged and make the daisy chain yourself.

Colorwise, you know the best tuna colors. Zuchinni, mexican flag, purple and black.

Halibut, anything that glows. I am an alligator and an army truck kind of guy.

HOGGEMIN · 04-04-2003, 03:33 PM

I would like to join email me with more details and what I will need to bring.

PeterMac · 04-04-2003, 03:55 PM

Kurt, yes making them ouselves, they are way expensive buying them complete, however, all due respect, I still need to know what size of weights to get :whazzup: ...

Thanks for the color rec's

Sounds like fun. When??

PeterMac · 04-04-2003, 07:59 PM

Trying for the 18th. Can we get a roll call going?

Also, if you can give me an idea of what you might like to make, ie 3 FB rigs, two tuna feathers and two teasers, for example. That way I can know about what to buy.

You can email the info to me at petem@patlbr.com .

I'm in. The 18th will work great for me.

Captn · 04-04-2003, 11:23 PM

Sounds like it is about that time. Pick a date, time and place.

Threemuch · 04-04-2003, 11:32 PM

I got all the gear I need, but I would be willing to come and lend expertise, and bring my gear for examples.

Shopping List:

Mono Leader material and matching crimps, 200 pound test for hand lines, 80 for rod and reel.

Tuna hooks and feathers.

170 pound coated wire and crimps from american fishing wire for halibut rigs.

16/0-20/0 Circle hooks

Hoochies, the bigger the better (optional)

Barrel Swivels, 300 pound test.

Crimpers.

Dynamite · 04-07-2003, 09:23 AM

PeterMac,

I would like to join.

Thanks

OceanBlue · 04-07-2003, 09:39 AM

18th couldn't be more perfect for me. John?

Hey, for those of you that might be concerned with it - that's Good Friday.

PeterMac · 04-07-2003, 12:15 PM

Great Skein, as far as what to bring, I was initially going to bring everything and let people buy what they need, or set them up in "kits".

It may be a challenge to get it cooridinated with what everyone wants to make though (Corrirod has some experience here :grin: ). The Halibut rigs are pretty easy, so I may buy that stuff up front, and leave tuna gear up to individuals.... Either way, I need to get it figured out soon so I can receive material in time.

How would this work for everyone...Need some feedback please....

As far as a date, looking like the 18th?

PeterMac

edsr · 04-07-2003, 01:35 PM

The 18th @ Santana's 10-4.

edsr

Fisherguy · 04-07-2003, 01:41 PM

I would like to join this party. The 18th works for me. Please post where. I well be there.

HawgJaw · 04-07-2003, 02:48 PM

I'll be there unless the ocean settles down enough to salmon fish. thanks, HJ

Pilar · 04-07-2003, 03:49 PM

Hawgjaw, the calm ocean disclaimer is well understood by all. I'd be right there with you babe.

4-18 works for me. As a recovering catholic, that day is not excluded from my calendar.
Santanas is a 10 minute drive from where I work!!!!

Whoo hooo!

skein · 04-07-2003, 05:19 PM

Gee, you're breakin' my heart, Pilar. It's two hours from my place. I've driven to Hillsboro more since falling in with the "Dogs" than in the previous ten years.

Maybe my addiction is becoming a problem....

Skein :grin:

OceanBlue · 04-07-2003, 06:46 PM

Awww Skein - ya might as well move here... or get the dogs in the valley to host more meetings. :grin:

You know ya love us!

Fishplay · 04-07-2003, 09:00 PM

Friday the 18th at Santana's. I can do that. See ya then.

corrirod · 04-07-2003, 09:26 PM

18th from when to when? I'll make the reservations as this will probably be a big one and they'll want to bring in some extra staff. I'll see if he has any suggestions as to the best way to get everyone their meals in a timely manner. Perhaps a pre-order on the meals or some type of buffet setup? I don't know, but I'll check. And of course, happy hour drink prices all night!

Mr. Fisherman · 04-07-2003, 10:04 PM

Sorry, but I'm out this time. I will be doing my first overnighter on Sea Lion unless the ocean is in shape

.
Have a great time and raise a few for me.

blubeast · 04-07-2003, 11:31 PM

PeterMac, you may want to check out Ebay as well for the Tyee rigs... they often have many of their large hootchies listed for bidding. I have picked up several - 3 rigged ones for $10.

I can bring some samples to the meeting to show you what they look like. Some glow, some don't.

skein · 04-07-2003, 11:45 PM

All I need is a firm date and directions and the missus and I will be there.

Can (should) the rest of us bring stuff?

Skein

OceanBlue · 04-08-2003, 07:02 AM

Rod - How about we say 7-9pm? Folks can show up earlier, but if he's gonna do a buffet, I'd say 7ish would be good timing. But I'd hate for Rafael to do a big buffet for us, only to have the ocean flatten out and we all bail for the coast. Can he deal with having 24 hrs notice?

corrirod · 04-08-2003, 08:26 AM

Yeah PM, that was my worry too. I think it might be better if we picked a few menu items that he could stock up on and have ready and then give him a head count a couple days prior. I'd sure hate to leave him hanging though so either we need everyone to make the committment or we just have to understand that food service may be a little slow.

OceanBlue · 04-08-2003, 10:01 AM

Rod: How about we get a count, then chat with Rafael and let him decide what he can commit to?

Maybe we just have him do a nacho bar? That shouldn't be too bad...

fishinnut30 · 04-08-2003, 12:24 PM

Would love to join. [img]graemlins/stupid.gif[/img] But I need direction's to santana's.

Tight lines
Rich

Myles · 04-09-2003, 07:37 AM

What do I bring? I want to make 4 or 5 halibut rigs, do I need tools, tackle or just let someone here know and bring ca$h. I'd like to make them myself or at least be involved.

myles

Mr. Fisherman · 04-09-2003, 08:37 AM

Dog gone it, if yer gonna bait me in with food maybe I can come for just a little while.
I will have to wait till the date gets closer to commit but I sure like getting off the porch and hanging with the big dogs

.

CrazyFish · 04-10-2003, 12:24 PM

I'll be there even if the ocean calms down (it will be on the way to the beach)

Slow Roll · 04-10-2003, 11:15 PM

Well, this fledgling pup would like to attend. Don't know if I will make any rigs but would like to meet all of you and at least watch how its done.
Count me in.

Paul B.

Taylor's viewpoint · 04-13-2003, 06:11 PM

I'll be there. I have most of my own stuff to make halibut rigs but would like to meet people and learn new technics.

corrirod · 04-13-2003, 07:57 PM

I made reservations at Santana's for us. I'll take a head count mid-week to be accurate.

I just purchased some immersion suits, if anyone is interested in seeing one I can bring it to the meeting.

The way the ocean is shaping up I'll probably be heading to the beach after the meeting or early the next morning.

See what happens when you get too excited about a good ocean forecast!

OceanBlue · 04-14-2003, 08:03 AM

Hmmm... egg hunts and feasts? not I - My kids are with their dad this weekend!

Fisherguy · 04-14-2003, 07:39 PM

I am planning on being there on the 18th and a for sure time. All I need is an address as to where this event is going to be. Look forward meeting the salty crowd.

PeterMac · 04-14-2003, 11:53 PM

I am really looking forward to the event at Santanas :grin: . I will have supplies to tie up several different rigs for halibut and tuna, but since nobody got back too me with what they wanted to produce

, I just bought a bit-o-this and that, but not the well stocked store I had originally envisioned.

Should be fun and educational for the rookies in the group(like me).

See you then!

HOGGEMIN · 04-16-2003, 08:35 PM

Darn I won't be able to go going Turkey hunting thursday night by Medford. When I get back I will need a list of items to get for my up and comming trip, any help would be apreciated.
