Hows everyone doing ? Things are fine up here in Maine. Its time again to get in my vacation requests( early as usual) and was wondering if a date has or can be set for the 2008 spring clave got to make sure I have my dates correct. Thanks DREW
Fred is right, third weekend in May. Last year it was Saturday, May 19th. This year, Saturday, May 17th. New moon on the following Monday, but that time of year, strong tides aren't necessary.
I would hope that we can pick one of the days for a rip trip. Now that we can take more than 10 guys...I would think we can fill the slots, but I suspect we might not get the "whole" crowd on one trip so maybe schedule rip trips each day of the Clave so that all clave participants can go atleast one day and then the usual spots the other days...Weather permitting naturally and if Keith will be in operation.
The Crack sounds good for breakfast...doubt if we see breaking fish, but should be able to raise a few on the big pencils....yellow over white :devil: no problems with thebattery this year I hope
I am with any of those dates, but we are early here...who and how many FF guys are orgainizing this...dates, the stonehorse, etc. etc. Don't we need the usual formal orgainization before throwing the dates willy nilly?...We Know it's May, but it seems futle to agree on dates before we get the other details done..just IMHO.
Dam, I am booked to come out to CC on the 2nd June for 15 days. I just don't think I can run to coming out for an extra two weeks from May 16. Appelaing to me but not my wife who I have not taken a holiday with for about 5 years now or my principles who sadly expect me to do work for the measely retainer they pay me. If I could wangle a long weekend maybe but oh boy that jeg lag is a pain. I recover and then off again. Still couple years time I will hopefully be finished with this lark called work. I see you can rent houses in CC in spring and early summer for very low rents. So I got plans for the future.
Don't worry Mike we'll have a mini Clave with you when you arrive in June. Pllenty of us around . And there probably willl be a Rip Trip around the time your here.

John, let's defer to the meister (Juro) for the official spring clave dates. I'll be there regardless and can assist in whatever way necessary. It'll be tough to match or overtake the one we had this year.
Jim, sure, that makes sense and is consistant with the past. Anyway, we know it will be in May...Mike, FishHawk is right , there will be plenty of guys around when you come.
Thanks, it's a good to know we are so welcome. Would still be extra special to make a Spring Clave though. Jamie did last year and had a real blast , plenty of fish to. May be possible you never know what deals you can get travel wise these days.
Mike, see you in June, and you are always welcome company on the flats. Think this year, and the lessons should be golden for 08. Saints Landing is an interesting place, and all places west of there. Since you are a tourist, there are a couple of spots...
I would love to make it this year. Last year conflicted with my buddy's wedding in Vegas and the year before that something else.
