1. Who is willing and able??

2. We need to set a date,
what dates do people want to do this??

3. And we need to do this ASAP, so people can put in for time off in advance at work!!

4. Were are we going to do this??

Summer is a busy time on the roads!!

May be a spring trip will be better??

If we are going south the fishing will be in full swing long before let say the Cape which is well in to June when the big ones get here.

we need to get a list of people who are able to go given anough time to get it from work.
So lets start there!! I will start a thread for who can go and when.

I have a few days vacation coming - Need to get back to Virginia for a few days anyway - spring would be okay with me - and it should be a family event.

Mac - good list of thing to do - start assigning members to each take the lead on one or two actions to do ...
Franco - good thoughts

My guess is Mid May for Southern Ches Bay would be good
Try for one or two week-ends before memorial day - what ever those dates are - I don;thave a calendar in font of me. April can sometimes still be too cold and rotten. (remeber I drive a CC - so I like the sun!)
May for the most part is good weather - and not too hot yet. Need to ask Skick007 about fishing conditions in southern part of Bay.

If it is just going to be the "nortons" and no families then think Cherystone - BUT if you want to have families, then think western side of Bay so family members can go to Bush Gardens or Yorktown, or all the other tourist kinds of things while the norton fish team is fishing....

Talk Later

C-Bill,

You hit the nail on the head with the Busch Gardens thing, thats why I was wondering if it would be a family event.

Yorktown just opened up the new Riverwalk landing at Yorktown near the battlefeilds, they have some overnight slips right there if that sounds interesting to anyone, I could inquire.

Familys are fine for those that want to bring them,

I for one are going to make this a Man weekend!!

I'm leaning toward an early June end of May date. Would be warm enough to enjoy and less chances of spring rains. I would be going solo, I'm figuring a seven hr. tow so I'm looking to fish for at least two full days and if I can swing it three. Turning it into a fluke tournament would be good if they are running down there then.
In May the weekend of the 19th - 21st keeps us out of Mothers Day and Memorial Day weekends
In June the weekend of the 2nd - 4th & 9th - 11th
If there is a consensus on any of these dates amongst members we can home in on it and pick a spot based on what fishing inquiries reveal.

Lets keep a running numbers tally on MJ's thread and keep the discussion stuff here to keep it simple, we'll pick a date based on the numbers

Fluke Season starts the first week June here!! I love Fluking!!

shicks007 · #39 01-09-2006, 02:56 PM

Do you guys have any problems with me posting on this subject on tidalfish.com? I was going to inquire about early season flounder/fluke on the eastern shore. I believe it will be coming into full swing around that time.

Nah Shicks we should be doing that, put it out to any V20-21 boys and let them know, might get a bunch of new members doing that and get ideas on where to fish and where to camp and or stay in hotels
