October/ November  2025

Our weather, regulation restrictions, and mussel invasions have kept us off the water in what is one of our worst years for fishing.   But Matt Richards, Brion Beetz, Dennis Lee, Shawn Kelly, and Carl Moyer caught rockfish and lingcod fishing from Carl’s boat.  12 of us had a Chinese lunch with some of those rockfish.  Tom Kostik enjoyed black bass fishing in the delta and trout at Pinecrest Reservoir.  Ron Lew survived cancer surgery and went deep water rock fishing for rock and ling cod.  Rich Fiscina left his home in Florida to catch some ono in Hawaii.  Pedro Contreras, Brion Beetz, and Steve Paulick braved a rough ocean to catch yellow tail and yellow fin tuna.  Crab and rockfish combo fishing trips start November 1st, and we are eager to crack the tasty crustaceans.  Trout fishing usually starts in the late fall, but the mussel invasion has us shut out of our favorite ponds.  The great news is our fishing group now has over a hundred members.  One of the largest SIR activities.
