Grinner Gathering III

Grinner Gathering Official Date Announcement

Saturday Night, November 24th, 2018

The "Soup Kitchen" as in years past since it allows many people to fish at once.


No worries if you can't make it or just don't want to hit the SK again.  I'm going to watch the surf conditions as we get close as I might cancel for another day if the surf is too gnarly to fish or the entire kelp forest is washed up on the beach.  We can always Plan B it in Mission Bay for Bats and Leopards if need be, but all of the other dates have been stricken from the list leaving this day open with decent tides and moon phases.

Can you pick a day with small surf and very little weeds?

That would be great.

How about Friday November 23rd? (Black Friday after Thanksgiving) The high tide is scheduled for 9:43pm at 4ft. Perfect for multiple locations in SD.

The 23rd is showing a 99% full moon which will be overhead the entire night.

It will probably be that weekend, but a smaller gathering than usual I would suspect.  In either case, I'll make a decision here in the next day or so.

I'm leaning towards the 24th as I usually take the boat out the day after Thanksgiving (Thanksfishing).  I'll make a decision this week.

Possibility of some wet weather.  Not a big chance, but a chance.

So who is coming out on Saturday? We'll be down at Seaside Reef in Cardiff State Beach from dark until 11:00 or so.  A few of us might possibly meet up at the Tidewater Tavern beforehand for a bite to eat and a beer!

Anyone scout conditions? Surfline is calling for 4 - 5' with occasional 6'?
It's all Tom and Don's fault! They "hooked" me on mud marlins and sharks!
