Wow, it's taken me a couple of days to recover, but what a awesome way to end our 2009 GCLA fishing season. The Ranger 85 is a fabulous boat and Captain Frank and his crew were just awesome. Everyone was so excited to go, we actually departed earlier than scheduled. So, once we were off, the party was on. As usual, we had more than enough to eat. There was ham, turkey, quiche, veggies, fruit, lots of yummy salads, chili, cheeses, crackers, nuts, pies, brownies, cookies, and of course, the infamous "cake balls" aka truffle cakes. The list goes on and on - no one went hungry - that's for sure.
With San Nicholas as our destination, it was a long ride, but we slept confortably in our bunks. Everyone started to surface around 5am - so hence the fishing began. It was very chilly so we had to bundle up.
Despite the weather conditions, the fishing was great. Lots of reds were caught,
but sheephead seemed to be the catch of the day.
We have to give Team McIntyre
kudos as Barb and Biff each won the respective jackpots with Sheepheads !! Unbelievable !! 
Then it was time to get warm, so we headed back into the galley to start our "fishy" gift exchange. Once again, the gifts were very creative and the combat was amusing.
Of course, we can't forget our usual "bootie" shot -
- it's not a charter without our "bootie" shot.
I could just go on and on about this trip as there were so many special moments, but it's just so amazing how much fun it is to get together like this and rock the boat the way we did. 2009 was an awesome year for the GOLD COAST LADY ANGLERS and 2010 is going to be even better.
GCLA ROCKS !!!!
