2010 Holiday Charter

What a fabulous blog Erika - they are always so much fun to read. It was a great day on the water as usual, rain and all, - lots of fun, food, and fabulous women. Once again, all kudos go to the incredible women that make up the GOLD COAST LADY ANGLERS !! 2011, our 10 year anniversary is going to be bigger and better that ever !!

2010 Holiday Charter

As the Gold Coast Lady Anglers wrapped up yet another fabulous year of fun, friendship and fishing, we boarded the beautiful Ranger 85 out of Channel Islands Sportfishing for a 100% all member charter. We loaded up all the food, gifts and enough supplies to survive at sea for 6 months, rigged up our gear and mingled. Capt Frank was not on board, but Dustin and Chad had the wheel and gathered us all to the bow for the speech on safety and fishing. Our boys on deck were Ricky, Robert, and of course my favorite deckhand of all, Tanner.









Weather was forecasted to be beautiful, as far as the ocean was concerned....we had a great ride over to San Miguel Island and slept like babies gently rocked.

The morning came all too quick for most of us and we arose to rain showers. Lori was quick to adapt and got busy trimming the garbage bags for those without rain gear, even created a little hat for Ann-eye! The laughs and creativity went on all day, thanks to a little sharpie fun!











Fishing was instantly very good. First drift had the deckhands running ragged....Help!!! Gaff!!! Those guys worked very hard keeping us tangle free and removing the numerous fish from our hooks.





We even caught a couple of exotics!!!































Ling Cod season just closed so of course we caught a lot of nice big keepers! Heartbreaking to toss them back over, but we did so after a couple of quick pics!



Rain stopped and the sun came out, for all of 5 minutes, but at least the down pour had stopped.

We fished the morning at Miguel, then made a move over to Rosa. Fishing was steady all day and easy limits were caught for all 36 of us plus crew.



Payton wraps up the Jackpot with this MONSTER whitefish that even outweighed a ciuple of big Sheephead caught! Congrats Payton!





Food was fantastic, company stellar as usual. We gathered in the galley for the "fishy" gift exchange and let me tell you....the gift get better every year. Great ornaments, plates and dishes, hats, pillows, wine, soaps, etc....all with a fishy theme.



We polished off some more food and the most amazing caramel dipping sauce for some apples, courtesy of Tisha, and then many people hit the rack. The rest of us kept the boys company as they cut our fish almost the entire ride home. We chatted and enjoyed a beautiful sunset as we closed our GCLA 2010 fishing season.

















Lots of great trips already planned for 2011. Can't wait to share a rail with all you wonderful woman in the upcoming year. Speacial thanks to our founders, Jeanne and Jacqui for this fantastic club and all the hard work you guys do all year long to make the Gold Coast Lady Anglers who we are today!
