Check the dates for the last three or four years.... Pretty consistant...

Mr F. ROFL!! You know me well!! Never too early to start smooging for those prized open seats.

Thanks for the quick responses. I will take the 13-14 and 20-21. For starters. :grin:

It's so nice to have seniority.

Peace, Tom

Thanks for the dates, :grin: We are ready for Halibut

Long winter.
We went out crabbing last weekend just to get the boat out. Crabs were to small, but the boat ride was great.

See ya out on the big blue.

Oh yeah i am ready... My halibut will come on my salmon rod this year...

Big Tule, so that last halibut trip convinced you on the fun to be had with Halibut on Salmon gear? Pssssstt. make sure the rod has a replacement guarantee and that the line is mono, less than the rod's rating and new. Oh and you might need alot of line.

Muh ha ha ha ha ha hahaha

Big TULE · 01-23-2004, 06:07 PM

Hey PILAR i will bring my 9 foot heavy rod... not worried about breaking it... It was my first salmon rod and i do not use it much and its only centimental value is it was my first salmon rod... It is currently still staying over at Peter MAC's house, as i can't find time in my schedule to get with him and reclaim it...

Mr. Fisherman · 01-23-2004, 07:55 PM

Hehehe, another one ruined fer life. Hey, tell us, how did that happen again?

And what about Duff?

Big TULE · 01-23-2004, 09:02 PM

Hey Ray i want to do it myself...
Not sure on Duffs availability for this summer...

Mr. Fisherman · 01-24-2004, 04:04 PM

Your Only Friend....

The End.

Thanks for the pic, Ray. The bend is for sure your friend.

Big fish on light tackle is great sport.

Bent rods and good friends make for fine memories!!

Peace, Tom

It hurts to set you free
but you'll never follow me.

Bad halibut ... go to your room!

Oh man, looks like the mod should edit out that picture, if for no other reason than the insatiable effect it will have on viewers. But his hands are shakin' too bad to type.

I can smell the salt. I can feel the bend. WAAAAAAAA!!!!! [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

I have reports on my medical condition that i might never be able to go on a naval ship to sea again... I am ruined... No kidding. I will spend the rest of my life fishing the big blue off of the oregon coast longing for the transit across the Pacific to south east asia and australia... I am not sure what i will do with myself now...
And that pic is awesome... I can't wait to do it again this year. That fish was huge, and duff is ruined for life.
