I can't take it anymore. I need to get out.

I'm thinking about drifting eels after dark tomorrow night. Maybe in Stonington Harbor?

Anyone else going stir crazy?

  • Interests:Kayak Fishing is my main hobby and to stop myself from crawling up the wall I build websites in the winter. UKF is a place to meet friends and I have found a lot of friends here.

    See you on the water.

Friday night eels sounds great - where and when are you launching? Dubois Beach after dark?

I've never launched from the beach, but yeah that sounds about right.

I think high tide is ~ midnight, so plan to launch around 9 PM?

Just need to keep an eye out for T-storms.

Stonington Harbor or can #5, if we are fishing the bridges we should launch from the commercial dock

Nils called me around 5:30 from the middle of a hail storm, so we decided it would not be prudent to hop in kayaks smile.gif

HAIL??... shower of locusts and plague of frogs can't be far behind.

So much for my attempt to live vicariously through you and Nils!

I'm coming to CT in July to work with Nils on night eel drifting before the Shootout. Perhaps we can organize a small interested group if WHEN the weather improves.
