Hey Joe....

Hey Joe, that was a good trip last week, we had a great time....Dave Hurley gave you a pretty good plug in todays Fresno Bee Fishing Summary, and he sent the 2 pics of Creed and Carli to them for the fish gallery. Bill Karr called and was on his way to Baja but said he would at least get the kids pictures in Western Outdoor News, hopefully he will get "Full On Fishing Charters" mentioned in WON too. Hope your trip Thurs was a success, keep in touch, maybe the news paper mentions will get you some trips. Later, Tim

A fishing story... from Dave to Tim

Hi Dave: Back from a week in Cayucos, fog, sunshine, flat water....nice week. My kids Creed and Carli and Carli's boyfriend Ryan Walker went on a really nice all day bottom fish trip with Joe Anderton. He's just starting a new six-pac charter "Full On Fishing Charters" morrobayfishing.net....805-772-7695...He took us 42 miles north to Cape San Martin, Big Sur area, south of Pt Sur. He's got a 22 ft Radon, pretty fast, I think we did almost 25 kts or so up there, just 2 hrs to the Cape. Fished 6 1/2 hrs "Full On'', he keeps the baits in the water all day, which is great. Uses light but strong Powell swim bait rods developed for bass but enough spine to hoist good size lings, reds etc. We caught full limits of nice reds with a few big Boccaccio and 3 keeper lings. Water is slow to warm, but darn good fishing anyhow, he knows his stuff. Very fun trip, 60 lbs of fillets or so, 100-200 ft of water, so light tackle was really fun. He loves to fish big swim baits in white and various other colors. Also loves salmon fishing and tuna too. Will be a good contact to fish the Morro Bay area and avoid the cattle boats. Saw Merritt over the weekend at the parade etc, he said he had talked to you recently. Hope all is well, I guess I'm back to pontoon boating on Shaver for awhile now....take care, Tim
