I do believe we are at 14.

Perhaps this weekends weather will turn on the fish and get more guys interested in this.

The more the merrier...

I have to be honest... this fishing from the beach is making me a nervous wreck.....
I have been reading some post on fishing from the beach... big waves...suds...rips...white water and you do this when the sun is up... sounds nuts... but I'm going to give it my best shot next week

[Bucktail]

Don't forget your boogie board and suntan lotion!

[ped579]

Not only do we do this in the daytime but my best times to go out there is at dusk and dawn plus the night he fishing is great as well.  This is where knowing the area really helps.

As far as the 25th before I make my wayt onto the beach I will swing over to A10 to see if anyone wants a ride onto the beach.  As I am not sure as to the time I will be there this will be a hit or miss venture.  I will probably migrate after a while to find something to weigh in.

It should be a great time and you can fish as hard as you want or just relax and have a bunch of laughs with your fishing pole at the ready and some baited hooks in for schlitz and giggles.

Happy Catching

Will there be a grill in the area or is someone going to bring one?

[ped579]

All grills have to be brought in as there is no specific BBQ'ing areas in the park.

The park is a carry in, carry out as well.  What ever you bring in has to be bagged up and carried out as there is a number of large garbage containers and dumpsters in most of the larger parking areas as well.

Plus there is no alcoholic beverages allowed anywhere in the park.

This is a strict rule and the Park Police will drive by and check so be ready for it.  Especially with a larger group.

[IrishAyes]

Anyone have a grill they can bring?

[surfrocket]

joe i should have two grills with me 

[Bucktail]

I will probably be fishing by 6am.  There's no way I am starting to fish at 9am.  I gotta be there at first light!

So, since people have already said that they will be leaving before the planned 4pm start time for the get together, will we definitely be firing up the grills at noon?  I just want to make sure since my wife and daughter will probably come down to meet us there.

[IrishAyes]

I do not see a problem with starting up the grills when ANYBODY is ready.

Oh dummy me forgot I have a portable grill at my trailer near the boat. I will run down and get that this week sometime.

Any and all are welcome to use the grill when ever they wish that day. 

[gagedylan]

my daughter will be 8 days old and it will be my 40th birthday, and i'm going to make it there come hell or high water

Question.... Does area 10 have a large parking lot to hold us all... I never did get my beach pass this year... Just asking

[Luna Sea 5]

its not large, but there is a parking lot.  Probably hold about a dozen or so cars.

[IrishAyes]

Also, you don't have to remain at A10. More just a meeting place. 

How close it A10 to the bathing beach? Maybe that would be a better place to set up to meet and go on from there. Huge parking lot and we could put a grill up there.

[Luna Sea 5]

if I am not mistaken, A7ish is the first access for the 4X4, I am not sure where the nearest parking lot is from there.

[ped579]

I think that lot should hold our group as there are a number of us going onto the beach.  If you are going to move around it might be a good idea to take some of our phone numbers that are listed in the Contacts section.  I will be available to drive anyone back to the staging area at A10 beach side.

Remember if you are planning to stay after dark and you are walking onto the beach bring a flashlight to illuminate your way back.
