Trout are our winter target, and Matt Richards, Dennis Lee, Stan Wong, Phil Scimonelli, and Bob Lively have caught rainbow and lightning trout from San Pablo Reservoir.  Stan Wong, Tom Kostik, Ray Pixton, Dennis Lee, and Phil Scimonelli fished for stripers in the delta.  Shawn Kelly caught a big striper and a keeper halibut in the bay.  Halibut fishing in the bay is picking up, but a lot of small shakers are keeping us busy.  We had our semi annual lunch with the Coastside fishing club.  20 of us and them feasted on tasty rockfish.  Many of us went to San Diego for the sport show there, making plans for tuna trips both here and in Mexico.  As of yet, the salmon season has not been published.

 

March
Fishing for stripers in the delta was productive for Tom Kostik, Harry Sherinian, Matt Richards, and Mike Pruett.   Ron Lew and Ken Bellinder got bigger fish working the north bay.  Stan Wong, Phil Scimonelli, Carl Moyer, Dennis Lee, Bob Lively, and Ray Pixton fished for trout from San Pablo Reservoir.  Stan limited, most others did not.  March at our meeting on the 26^th we have our annual swap meet.  We bring our excess fishing gear and buy the excess fishing gear brought by others.  BARGAINS GALORE!!!!     And, on April first the ocean season for rockfish opens up at all depths.  There has not as yet been any decisions about salmon fishing, but we are hopeful.

 

 

Twenty-six of us ate our fill at Carl Moyer’s backyard fall fish fry.
