First WSB of 2011



I'm very happy to announce I got my first WSB of 2011. Even though it's on the small side, none-the-less, it's a white seabass and it's hopefully the first of many for 2011. I was invited on a SeaJay charter by our good friend Jerry Stussman and all his buddies. Being the only female of 11 of us onboard, 4 WSB were caught and I was one of the lucky ones. We spent the morning casting plastics as that's all they were biting. But as we know, the "ghosts" disappear just as fast as the come, so I was thrilled to land one. After that, we went rockfishing - which was OK. All and all, I can home with my WSB, a red, and 4 chuckleheads. Not a bad day at all - good weather, good friends, and GREAT fish !!

GCLA Camping

Hello everyone, and yes, I just learned how to blog so this is last years info, but fun just the same.....and we hope to do another this year. Jeanne, Meli and I started out Friday morning heading to Lake Cachuma with enough food and drinks to last us several days. The lake was beautiful when we arrived and as you will see from the pics, it just kept getting better. People came to visit – helped with the tents and stayed the night. These ladies know how to camp and are so prepared! I learned that the tough survive and these girls made that mark look easy! Jeanne and Meli are awesome campers and seem to have everything one could think of so I was busy taking mental notes of what to take next time...... 1st - a tent that works! Oh well, I made due and it was great. (I ended up in my car), but they had lights, toilets, stoves not to mention the obvious of tents and sleeping bags. They had every that they could need and then some. Mental note to self: No one should go camping with out everything that they alone should need. These ladies are awesome teachers!! Anyway, there was the brief fire on the outskirts of the site that they put out using the water from the lake (pics below) on the first day. Meli made some wonderful tuna salad that was to die for which we ate while watching them put out the fire. The fishing was non existent and it was super hot without shade near the lake but the best part was the camaraderie! Ana came early on Saturday and then Marion and Renee joined us for the day. By Sunday we were a little melancholy to go back to reality. But we promised each other to do it next year. I hope you enjoy the pictures and maybe next time you will join us, pop a tent and sit by the fire with us.
