.......can either be from May 7-14(ends Sat before Mother's Day), or
May 21-28(after Reid's anniversary, my spouses Birthday, etc).
I leave the decision up to those interested in attending. Feedback,
please......?

For the crew I think the latter is best to guarantee good weather. That
week has historically been very good weather wise(Vince!! have any stats?)
and there is still a chance of catching the Drake.

Just a note on the 7th-14th. That week can sometimes be a 'tweener for the
big thick hatches, but if the sulphurs start up that week, as they often
due, the fish can get plenty stupid when they see those yellow beauties the
first time of the year.

That being said, my vote is for the 21st-28th. Also as a note, checking out
some other possible Penn's accommodations for the week in order to
accommodate a crowd if needed. Also may look for a place for 2-3 days in
North Central PA around Upper Pine, Slate, Cedar Run, and/or Kettle Creek if
anyone is interested let me know.

Jeff/IJ/Wayne - Heard a nasty rumor you guys may not be coming up next
year...say it isn't so....

ij says he's not going. i doubt i'll go as i've invested heavily in
deepsea futures and the end of may is at the cusp of prime time for
reaping dividends.

Did you get a boat that can handle continued long distance research?

depends on the research grant funding... if you've got the green, we'll
travel to the bluewater for all the researching any true fishingperson
could want...

jeff (hopin the boat will last until the catching of a marlin...after
that, well, it's a buyer's market)

Setting up some fundraiser activities where I plan on working various
contributors. May be able to get something done by Summer. Maybe right
around the time those Marlin and Sailfish are poking around that deep blue
river water.

Damn, most people just find some guide with a bit of experience, and a big
boat, to rustle up one of those Blue monsters...

BTW - we have Sturgeon in the Rivers around Philly, I hear they are a real
challange to land. Problem is you may need a brand new boat, and a bunch of
specialized gear to catch them. We can work out the details on how to
unload it all after you catch one...

Better catch 'em quick. What with the Beluga embargo and all, they'll
soon all have jonesin' socialites lip-locked to their vents.....

if you like being a "john", i guess it makes more sense to rent a boat.
i've always preferred to do my own rowing though, and, if it works
out, i'll probably pay less than the cost of charters (currently $1350 a
trip),,,we'll see. we'll talk later... right now, we're headed out the
door for graham county... got important bidness to attend...another
great mystery to be investigated...

From May 7 to May 14, the 30-year average high temp rises from 66 to
68, and .79" of rain falls.

From May 21 to May 28, the 30-year average high temp rises from 70 to
72, and .90" of rain falls.

Not a whole lot of difference, although the latter period is trifle
wetter.

Does anyone remember the dates of the clave several yera ago when it
rained the whole time and Penns Crick resembled the Mississippi? That
one year alone could explain the higher rainfall from May 21 - 28.
