Only a few sleeps left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jencourt]

So who else is excited about that first Hali trip of the yaer? I know I am! Only 9 more sleeps and the choice is ours.

I spent a few hours on the weekend going through the gear. sharpening hooks,checking leaders ect.
Got the anchor system ready with the new Scotsman I got.

Made a small shopping list and started checking tides and dates..
Already having fun. and the boat has not seen the water all winter.

Got 1 trip booked and working on dates for the second.

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty much everything you said Jencourt. I might be a little behind on the tackle being ready department but yeah I'll be heading out if the weather co-operates. Feels weird as I didn't have the boat in the water until August last year.

Right on! I'm getting excited as well - also fine tuning gear, buying new tackle, etc. Hope the weather, tides, and the days off align!

Ok since half this forum is hali fishing that day, lets make a unofficial derby for March the 1st. Largest Hali gets bragging rights. Post your season opener hali pics

I'm in if the wind holds off.
Don't laugh as it will be the local spot, Kitty.
You never know.
Jencourt where and when are you going?

Hey GLG:
Looks like my first real trip will now be the last weekend of March to Barkley sound. My friend needs a little help with her float-house so we will combine work and play. I prefer not going over there until April as we fish mostly structure and ling do not open until April. We may have to adjust tactics a little. That's fine with me that's how we learn more. Tides look good fore us then anyway.

I was also thinking Kitty for the beginning of the month. there are a few humps and bumps close to home I have been eyeballing with curiosity? Maybe a little time on the hook is required to confirm or dismiss my suspicions.I should be able to avoid the Dogs at this time of year I would think? I have not actually looked at tides for this side yet. Next on the to do list I think.
