Barnes you are more than welcome to join.

Reefaholic would around 8:00 8:30 across from academy be ok? The tide is going to be kind of high unless we get a north wind on thursday with the rain. The jettie infront of academy is a little flatter and has better cracks inbetween the rocks by the water line.

I think 8:30 sounds good. Do you have a good tide graph or know when it's best to go? I think low tide might be better as far as the waves. Or even seeing stuff attached to the rocks or caught in shallow pools or something. What do you think.

If we have an offshore wind (North) we'll be fine. The best wind for flat surf is a slight NW wind. The worst is SE. Anything with S, SE, SW, E, NE, chops it up or builds the surf. What all are you bringing? You got a good light.

The main thing I want us to have is good lighting.

I have two headlamps that are about eight hundred lumens each. I like to keep my hands free. I will be bringing a few buckets, about four different dip nets, my cast nets (6ft and 3.5ft), shrimp sucker or slurp gun, and a bubble box i case we get a bunch or something bigger. Of coarse a few fishing poles incase collecting is slow. I have two sceine nets (10ft and 20ft) but i haven't set them up yet they will be ready soon.

What time we leaving? I have paint all over me and I'm starved. I need to go eat and take a nap. My girl might come too. Maybe she can snap a few pics while we're digging inbetween rocks.

I'm thinking leave my house around 8 to get there at 9. What do you think?

I have to go catch some fish food tomorrow so maybe I will get something of interest and post a picture for you guys. The water is still a little cold but saw alot of fish larva so they are breeding hopefully we can get something good soon.
