Hello everyone:
I've been MIA for nearly a year. My last trip to Mead was during Thanksgiving of 07, so I am looking forward to my 4 day houseboat trip to Mead next week. We are, of course, going out of Temple Bar. Our group of 8 is leaving from Irvine, CA around 10 p.m. on October 8th. We should arrive at Temple Bar by 3:00 a.m. (10/9). I don't recall what the water depth was last November, but I'm assuming that the water level has dropped significantly since then.
Has anyone recently fished out of Temple Bar? I typically fish off of Channel Island in Gregg's Basin, but frankly, I'm not sure if Channel Island is still an island. It may very well be a peninsula now -- just like Haruipai Island.
Also, how has the weather been lately? I've checked weather.com on a daily basis, and it appears that there has been little to no wind for the past couple weeks -- with highs in the 90s and lows in the mid-70s. Is this accurate?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Paul
