07/07 - 07/08 - PWS Round 3 - Billy's Hole, AK

Dan,

Sorry you and Mark can't make it. Mark, I hope the wife is on the mend.

I see a few alternatives:

a. Go to Billy's Hole since a lot of us have never been there.

b. Retreat back to Derickson Bay (across Eaglek Bay from Schoppe Bay). Nice bay nice scenery, good hiking, fair number of bears, can't say much on the fishing.

c. Move south to the Perry Island area. Good fishing areas are nearby. Those who want fresh oysters, they are for sale at the South Bay Oyster Farm.

d. Go way south to the Knight Island area.

Thanks Tom, she is in a cast and will have to one arm it for 6 to 8 weeks.
Right now it's a matter of getting more comfortable with it, and getting a little more fetch and carry out of me.

Mark
 
Well folks it looks like our plans have changed too. We'll be heading down to Valdez the week of July 9. I guess we won't make the gathering, unless you guys are having such a good time it lasts for several additional days. If anyone will be is still around the week of the 9th and would like to meet up for some serious shrimping and fishing, give us a shout. Have a great time.
 
Dan,

I plan to be in Port Fidalgo Tuesday afternoon (can you believe it is work related) and going to Cordova on the fourth. I'm sure we can meet up somewhere in that time frame. We were going to try to rent a beater and drive up the Million Dollar Bridge.

Tom
 
Denny,

You are the only one to chime in. I'll be out somewhere between Cordova and Whittier going back toward Whittier on the 7th. I would say somewhere around Perry Island on the 7th should work. I know of a couple of places.

Tom
 
I still plan on launching out of Whittier on the 3rd or 4th and cruising toward Valdez and then to Cordova weather permitting. It sounds like the event has fallen apart unless we hear otherwise. Everyone have a safe 4th. Maybe next time.

Ben
 
I plan on being in the sound somewhere on the 6th 7th and 8th. I will make it a point to be anyplace if some of us might get together.
 
I'm also planning on be out in the Sound the 6th-8th. I was planning on meeting up at Billy's Hole, but now no particular destination in mind. Let me know if the group will be getting together somewhere.
 
Ben,

I'll be leaving Whittier on the 3rd bound for Port Fidalgo and then Cordova on the 4th. I think Dogon Dory will be there also. I'll look for you somewhere on the east side.

Tom
 
Does it have a name. The bay is there but not named on Google Earth. This is near some good shrimp and maybe still some reds at Main Bay.

Any good halibut spots nearby??
 
Tom,

I am stuck out here in Nikolski working and trying to get back to Anchorage. No flights in or out for a week now. Hopefully I'll be home before the 4th!

Robin and I are planning on being out on PWS over the weekend of the 6th, 7th and 8th, weather allowing, and would still love to meet up with all the C-Brats possible. Sorry to read so many are dropping out of our annual gathering. Can't tell you how much I have enjoyed meeting everyone these past couple of years at our gathering. :smile

Count me in on getting together where ever you folks decide.

Jim
 
Mark,

You guessed it.

Jim,

We'll look for you on the 7th.

Somebody needs to bring some cocktail sauce and an oyster knife. We may have a surprise showing of some oysters. I hear they lurk in the waters nearby. With the right bait (mainly $20s) they can be caught, but it takes a lot of effort.
