OMG !!!

You guys are awesome !! The pictures are great. How big were they ? YUMMY - can't wait for your meeting.

So here we are Ladies.....Just another awesome trip in the books for Me, Tanner, and Mary...We headed down to San Diego to hop on the 85' Holiday where we had heard the Albacore were on the chew.....The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the scenery was just as beautiful....(I think I met the man of my dreams!!!!) I caught 4 Albacore and a really hot guy...Hi JR!!!! HOT!!!

Mary and Tanner got their first Albacore ever!!!! Tried to make them eat the hearts, which is tradition..., but they were not going for it.... Anyway, Tanner went 1 for 3, lost one on the prop and had one short biter....Mary went 2 for 3, lost hers when it spit the hook...and I went 4 for 6, losing my very first 2 hookups on 15# test...First one spit the hook and the second sawed me off clean...Capt. said it was a Bluefin Tuna, but we never saw it....We switched over to the 25# set-ups and rocked 'em Gold Coast style!!!!!

Guess what we'll be serving at the Meeting we host......

They are catching Albacore, Bluefin Tuna and big Yellows!!! So keep your fingers crossed that we rail 'em...Hopefully there will be some nice pics to follow!!!!!!

Erna-B Mental Health Day

Two GCLA's were kicking bass yesterday - Calico Bass that is !! Check out Barbara's gorgeous calico bass. I landed 4 sheephead right in a row - not quite at "Gita" speed, but not too far behind. As the only two ladies on board, we showed the guys what the GOLD COAST LADY ANGLERS are all about. Sunny weather and smooth seas made for a great day to play hooky and go fishing. We had a blast !!

Happy Birthday, Kandace!!!

Tanner and Mary are slammin' Seabass!!!

FYI...Just got a call from Capt. John Fuqua where my beautiful son Tanner and my Best Friend Mary are fishing(Couldn't make this trip-waaahhh!)...So far Tanner hooked three and lost one, so he is two for three, and Mary has two also....WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! There are 14 on the boat and the range is 18 to 35 pounders...Looks like it's Seabass for dinner again tonight!!!!Way to go guys!!!Pics to come....

Fat Sacks for the Ladies....

Check out the injury to this fish...Looks like it was either caught in a net or it escaped being someones meal.....It did not escape me....

Here are a few more from the Charter on the Mirage Saturday...........Sacks were stacked fat as usual....Don't bother trying to escape....You've been sacked by a GOLD COAST LADY ANGLER!

WOW !!

First one of the our season. You go girl - you'll get the big one next time !!

AWESOME

GREAT pictures Erika - the sheephead even looks happy that he was caught by a GOLD COAST LADY ANGLER !!!

I Caught a Seabass

Well I went out on a 1/2 day trip with Jason Diamond, the Stardust. We went looking for calico bass and several were caught. I missed the class on that subject and could have used the info.

I did catch a White Sea Bass as a school of them appeared and several were caught unfortunately they were all short. But I have proof. Here is a photo of the little guy before I sent him back to grow up!!!!

Hey there fellow Lady Anglers...Here are two of my favorite pics from the charter Saturday...I love the "Pearly Whites" Shot!!!! Although there ain't no knocking a nice Flattie!!!! I am in Wyoming so I only have a couple of pics with me...More to come when I get home!!!
