re: HOT Tommy's!?!? Gosh! LUCKY! - I think you're lady friends have their dates messed up. The singles dating event is the 24th, NOT the 22nd... <heheheh> no, really, i'm serious.
Hopefully the Zman (tyler) will come to TC. That north-island viz is going to be nice.
re: cooking arrangements - I'll supply the nasi-goreng, so everyone can leave that out of their essentials kit... I'm up for just packing a decent amount of some fav's and potlucking on the fly. Just don't pack as if we're each doing an entire meal for every day.
We could really use some good local (reliable) info on halibut location. From what I've gathered from a few people over the past few days, it sounds like they can sometimes be found shallow (5-25m), in estuaries *especially when the tide is coming in, as they will sense the tide and likely come in for feeding. A slip-tip (or a BIG flopper of sorts) might be best. If Lindsay could possibly have one of those big hooks to grab and haul a big fish aboard, that would help. If we get the halibut aboard, I'm told the tail/gill needs to be tied, forcing the fish into a 'C', as people have had wrists/arms/legs broken by thrashing halibut.
I'm in forsure. Brianna has some red-tape at work that might delay her trip to TC. I'm now considering taking a bus to PortMcNeill and finding a ride into TC, or bus to Vancouver & maybe catch a ride from someone for that stretch up the coast?? Any takers? I was hoping to pretty much spend as much time as possible on the island. If I bus, I'll likely end up shooting for something like friday the 22nd, & leaving with Brianna (who would arrive a few days late).
