Just a heads up that I'm thinking that we will get a gathering going here for people who want to meet up and fish sharks from the surf in November. I'll check tides and plan on a date, but since weeds and surf will be a big factor in if we could even hit the surf, plan B will be fishing Mission Bay.
I'm going to start looking at tides and dates and have something posted up here in the next week or two, so keep checking back!
Here is the current list of members planning on attending Shark Fest... or the Gathering. I'll put a poll up to see which name you like best.
1) Latimeria
2) spideyjg
3) Pinoyfisher
4) raychavez91
5) fish jerk
6) Jaws
7) Where's My Beer
8') Donfish

Sweet, count me in.. Hopefully!:) lol... I have my kids soccer games on Saturday's, but hopefully it will be early games that week. I'm assuming it will be an evening/night event?
-
I'm game. Gotta hit the pier to try and stock up on fresh bait Saturday evening.

Having an audience watch me fish doesn't sound bad

They will be too busy watching me catch.

You guys will be tied up playing sand hand for me. Might as well leave ur rods at home
-
Dang, hoping I can make it!!
-
You mean you're going to share sand with other humans? :o
-
How about a few suggestions where to hold it? What do you guys think?
-
I have a secret spot that would hold a bunch of people. But it's close to the super secret spot and the super duper secret spot.
Soup kitchen is probably the most widely know secret spot, and will accommodate a party
-
The funny thing,Dave, is that I know exactly where you mean.
-
If the fallback AO is Mission bay then the primary AO should be close to it.
Going north of TP then having to retreat to MB would be a pain.
I would assume we go to a beach with fire rings?
Jim
-
Yeah, I'm thinking the Soup Kitchen also. I think November 21st might work out. Any thoughts?
Back up would be fish Mission Bay and have a bonfire all depending on surf and kelp conditions.
-
OK, I was checking out the tide tables again and saw that it is a dropping tide on the 21st and not a riser. The two best days for November would be the 14th and the 28th for a surf shark get together. Do you guys have a preference?
-
14th is cutting close for preperations for us out of towners
-
Probably be out of town the 28th, but that's OK, I'm anti social anyway.
-
Soup kitchen sounds perfect.
-
I don't really have a preference but the 28th may be nice to get away from the Black Friday weekend madness.
Jim
-
I'll confirm in the next few days, but the 28th looks like it is the best opportunity as of now. 8)
-
Let's lock in the 28th. The Soup Kitchen will be the location and in the case it is unfishable along with any other beaches, we'll hit Mission Bay for Bats and Leopards along with maybe an exotic. We could also have a fire down there while we soak.
-
Sounds great! Gonna do my best to make it down!
-
You guys are legends. I would like to attend to simply hang out, take in the vibe, meet and learn from you all. Oh yeah, and fish. ;)
-
I think I can make it! Confirm time and location!

I'll send it out when we get closer to make sure it's fishable, but it will be the Soup Kitchen as the sun is setting.
-
So, let's get a show of hands who may be coming to the gathering?
1) Latimeria
2) spideyjg
3) Pinoyfisher
4) raychavez91
5) fish jerk
6) Jaws
7) Where's My Beer
8) Donfish
-
I'm going.
-
Me
-
Probably won't make it. Thanksgiving with the folks. Kinda bummed but look forward to the next one.
-
I'm in
-
28th!
-
There's a good chance I'll be coming down.
-
For those who don't know the Soup Kitchen, I'll send directions when you confirm. 8)
-
Going to try to be there! ;D
-
100% chance of getting "book ended" ... ;D
Hope to make it too and see you clowns. Ray offered to be the tail grab bitch right?
-
Looks like rain for Saturday what's the backup plan?

Let's see how the week develops. Not worried about fishing in the rain, but not interested in fishing in a windy front if it's associated with it. I'll know by Wednesday and see what people want to do.

I see no rain predicted?
-
Ch 10 was calling a 60% for Saturday last night. 8 made mention of a possibility but didn't give a percent chance.
Meteorliars can't be trusted much even 2 days out much less 6.

I think it should be the guy that's afraid to put his hands on them and uses tail ropes. ;D

LMAO!

I'm probably going to be there around dark on Saturday. Maybe a little early to make sure the surf is fishable, but everyone knows where the "Soup Kitchen" is? Message me if you need directions. Plan B is to head to MB just in case.

Wow, tides are huge in the morning. I hope this doesn't mess with the debris on the beach for the smaller afternoon/evening tides.
-
Sorry to miss out. Good luck.
-
Count me in :)
-
Making some more leaders and getting packed tomorrow.
The news videos of the tides and surf are pretty disconcerting. We'll see come Saturday.
Jim
-
Anybody laid eyes on the soup kitchen??? How it's fared the storm and king tides????
-
I was a mile north last weekend and there was an eroded sand cliff at high tide line. Beach was clean as was the water. A week later? Who knows? I'd run down and check but I'm up at my folks in Pismo.
-
I didn't go out to check, but we are still on for tomorrow. I plan on getting there an hour before dark to scope conditions out. I'll update this page from my phone if I find anything horrid. We could search the inlet out that is about 400 yards north of that for plan B and if everything is totally unfishable, we will head to MB for a little Bat Fight. I'll pack some wood just in case so we could have a little fire if need be in one of the fire rings.
Keep checking back, but I look forward to fishing with you guys tomorrow!
-
Well, we have some people surveying the beach tomorrow which should give us a good idea of what our plans are. I'll find out in the morning and relay the information to you.
Bummer thing is Donfish will not be joining us. Apparently that part was T.U.I when I was on the phone with him. lol
This will be fun. I just hope the grinners really cooperate! My last 3 surf trips have been a bust but we are overdue for a good session!
-
Wait ... 52 degrees??? :o :o :o :o :o

Donfish dropped out since he was afraid his vagina was going to freeze.
-
My whole family is staring at me as I laugh.
-
I think I will find myself a spot at MB since my trip is up in the air right now. Who knows, I may still see you guys by accident. Anyways, my skills are still a work in progress and I'll be mostly cast practicing, since I've dicovered I have been not casting as well as possible with improper technique.
Happy hunting and I really hope that the grinners return.
-
So what's the tally for the night so far?
-
It's looking like 8 max. Totally doable and got positive Intel about the Soup Kitchen this morning.
I'll be there about 4:30.
-
Sucks I couldn't make it.

Lol! Great job Binh! About damn time!
-
Awesome night! (especially when expectations of doing much catching where low.) ;) Thanks again Tom for putting this together!
-
Waiting for this epic report :D
-
Great time for sure. We'll definitely make this an annual event. Probably just like the bat fight.
