Just a word of warning to the F5 participants. The weekend of the August 24th is during the dreaded Long Beach Kite Festival. If you plan on getting a motel in the Long Beach area, forget it, the popular and not so popular motels are already booked (found this out this morning). I did find lodging in nearby Astoria that was helluva alot cheaper than what the places wanted out at LongBeach. So get on it if your planning on spending the night down there.

Of course I'll be down there fishing out of Chinook that whole week and already know where to fish come the morning of the 24th. You Oreos don't stand a chance. laugh
