May 25 2025

Ken Bellendir caught a big 36 inch halibut in the bay, and lots of bass and crappie at Clear Lake for 3 days.  Ron Lew FLY FISHED for stripers in the bay and caught 2 stripers and one bat ray.  He also got black bass and stripers in the delta with Tom Kostik.  Eugene Cal went to Santa Barbara for rock fish and ling cod.  Matt Richards got his rock fish and lings from Bodega Bay.  Brion Beetz and Carl Moyer got there rocks and lings out the gate.  Carl Moyer hosted a Chinese fish lunch for 16 of us.  Nobody left hungry.  Finally, no salmon fishing for anybody till June 27^th.  Very  sad.

April  2026

Matt Richards, Dennis Lee, Carl Moyer, Gordon Linebaugh, and Bob Lively caught some quality trout at San Pablo Reservoir.  The rainbow and lightning trout were between 2 and 6 pounds, and delicious.  Geno Calhau, Bob Lively, Brion Beetz, Carl Moyer, Dennis Lee, and Nick Jabuka got out upon the ocean blue for rockfish and ling cod.  Tom KIostik and Dave Paulson landed some stripers in the delta.  And many of us fished in the bay for stripers and halibut.  Many stripers a few halibut.  Doug Dukes and Brion Beetz harvested butts in the 20 pound class.  And last and least Carl Moyer and Matt Richards tried for salmon from Moss Landing in the early season.  Six hours not a bite.  The early salmon bite was not!!

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