It was Kathy's Birthday on the 8th. I know. How could I have screwed this up? Please forgive me.

New Years Re-sole-utions

Saltwater Fishing has posted a list of New Years Resolutions for anglers. What a fun way to reflect on how we can be great stewards and ambassadors for the sport!

Happy New Year, Anglers!!

Miryam Recounts the Holiday Meeting

The party was so much fun. The gift stealing was vicious, not for the faint hearted, but the gifts were great. Amazingly better and more clever every year. The first couple of years the gift stealing was quite traumatic - I sympathized with the first timers. Now, i've been hardened. Besides, Kathy's little side intrigues are so cute and conniving; It's all in good fun.

Oooh oooh oooh! Boots on sale!

What's a Lady Angler without cute boots?!

And these are on sale at Victoria's Secret for only $14.99! (Online only)

Reminder: UASC 'No Motor' Tourney in Carp this Saturday!

Cool prizes will be awarded Saturday - including an individual prize for top female angler! - at the United Anglers 'No Motor' tournament right here in Carpinteria, 7AM til noon Saturday Dec. 15.

Miryam's Sea Jay Report

The night was COLD, but the ladies and the fish were HOT! We got over limits on nice size rock fish, and then the LINGS started hitting!

Share the Wealth with your fellow Anglers

Do you have a business?

Do you provide a service?

Do you know someone who does whom you'd like to recommend to your fellow anglers? I'm sure they'd appreciate the referrals.

The Links Page on our website will be a perfect place to share your information. To do so, send a picture and a two sentence explanation of the business or service you'd like us to know about (GCLA members only) to me and I will include it on the page.
