May 2008 LMB Outing @ Lundborg Landing!

[Scott V]

Canoes are good, I will be in an inflatable pontoon. I know others will be in non motorized floating devices as well. And hopefully the "Black Pearl" which is captained by the filthy swashbuckling pirate Captain Wahl will be there with powder in his cannons and rum in his bottles.

Hi Lee

Scott V and Ed W fished in Piper Slough (5 mph) in front of Lundborg's in a pontoon boat and a small pram with electric motor and out fished most of us who ran all over the country with larger boats.

I think float tubes, pontoon boats, canoes, kayak and boats from 8' up are all a good thing for this fun outing.

People will be able to camp in the back of their rigs (SUV, minvan/pickup), put up a tent, bring a tent trailer, travel trailer or motor home.

The weather should be smoken nice then for camping, BSing and cooking/barbequing/pot-lucking.

As some know Lundborg's is not fancy but they like having us and they have a good restaurant and bar. Kind of laid back but it works for us.

I think fishing, especially on top, should be good from early AM till noon so we could have a big break and barbeque from noon to 2:00pm then fish from 2:00pm till dark.

Some might fish daylight till dark and eat on the water.

Also some might go a day early, May 2/Friday, and leave May 5/Monday to make a 4 day-er out of it.

I'm getting excited just thinking about it.

Tides should be considered before we set up a lunch gathering....

Paul and I weren't able to really participate in the last one (BBQ/gathering) cause we were fishing the tides, not the times....

Also, New Moon is on the 5th...

We will adjust the lunch and dinner break to fit the tides.

I just need someone to tell me when it will be dead tide mid-day, I guess.

Great suggestion Mrs Fins.......thanks.

My health is improving (biopsy on the 15th ). But I plan to keep getting healthier and have written in May 2 ad 3 to keep me motivated. Planning to see everyone there, at least on the 3rd.

Keep the faith Richard, hopefully we will improve on the fish you have in your picture. I'm thinking we will be seeing alot of bass over the 7 lb. size, I myself am shooting to break my record largemouth of 7 lbs. 5 ozs. And I hope to do it on top water.

Hang in there Richard! Looking forward to hearing great news.

FYI, that is Memorial weekend.

It might as well be dumb-ass day - somebody's gonna get killed !! I fished Folsom out of a tube one 4th of July ....... it was NOT pleasant .

Other options Bill ??????

Fish out of a kayak.

On that note, I will be there with mine. I've been looking forward to this.

Hi Rickey

This should be a great trip.

I hope many will camp there overnight on saturday night.

[Scott V]

I plan on being there Friday through Sunday. And for Saturday night we can have a fire and maybe do some fly tying. Just a thought.
