I know it's been a tough year from the beach in Chatham but I wanted to orgainize one fall rip trip either the weekend before or after the Roddy clave...one day ....Sat or Sunday... I am getting reliable reports from some of my Chatham local pals that there are big bass down there now and maybe some hard tails.... Need twelve volunteers...for one day..usually 7 am to 4 pm at the south tip...Any interest????????.. We can even look into early October.
I'm interested, haven't been out this year. Sundays are preferable. Morning outgoings this weekend. Perfect for an afternoon stroll back to the north end.
those comfy chairs in your sovereign territories allow you to get a bit soft??? - y'know, HD sells a little Ensolite pad you can carry for under your tooshie - even works as a quick preserver for when they throw you over for whining :whoa: :hehe:
You probably didn't hear about the reel that snapped off at the seat or the breaking open of backpack zippers, or the loosening of teeth on the last return voyage...
but thanks for the idea Dave - I'll bring an ass pad for sure! :hehe:
The 'cheap grief' factor in that was explained to Pete before I posted it. The Ensolite garden kneeler padding is tremendous for stuff like avoiding getting your ass whipped by a bouncing boat - believe me, I've wished I hadn't forgotten it on some of my trips too:tsk_tsk: won't happen very often again.
Great response...by the way Dave F....is your post a yes or no? ... I will contact Keith today to get his feel and we will establish two date... the go date and backup....First weekend of October might be the best to get established.... I will get back after I speak with Keith.....
John, Pete,
Would love to go, but the travels and HS Football games will keep me on the left coast in most of Oct.
Say Howdy to Keith for me and catch them all!

Spoke to Keith and It's a go...I will check with him this Sunday about exact dates but the first Weekend of October is far enough out... I will work with Juro for a sign up sheet next week...if we can get committements from mor than 12.... we can do a back to back so nobody gets left out. P.S. Lefty...look forward to seeing you in Rody.
Dave...
I have become pampered and lazy but "ensolite"?!
There is something to be said about uncompromising and unrelenting comfort...
Once upon a time I could be convinced that if it didn't kill me, it made me stronger...I have finally seen the light!
The "doctors" tell me to listen to my body and, personally, I prefer the anti-G "temper-pedic" Swedish foam to cushion lifes irregularitiies...but my comfort vocabulary is full of GoreTex, air conditioning, aleve, tylenol, hot tub, and cold beer...to name a few.
'Tough to fit all that in my RipTripClave bag...
Come join us! I'll carry your stuff...
ps
Juro, the Right Honourable Chatham Mayor, and yours truly on last seasons RipTrip...I'm the one on the right with the AK47weight.:hehe:
If there's space I'd like to join you guys for a "reunion". Doesn't matter when.
Besides, I could use the excercise of the long walk back.
