As the temperature begins to rise many opportunities for good fishing are opening up. Day trips and longer are beginning to see the start of a good Bluefin Tuna bite. Half day boats, especially out of Oceanside, are seeing a good calico bass bite, and Night Fishing Season for catfish starts up July 5 at Dixon Lake.
For saltwater opportunities see Barbara Gattuso for boat trips, and Don Continelli for his popular Surf Fishing events. If you want to try your luck at night fishing for catfish, see Albert Wilson. Albert is taking sign-ups for the Catfish Challenge on August 22 at Dixon Lake. So whatever your fishing preference might be, it is a great time to get your equipment ready and get out on the water.
For those looking for a good time, and a good meal, the summer dates for the summer picnics are quickly approaching. On July 17 our own Jeff Routsong (the Firehouse Chef) will be returning with his chuck wagon to prepare some more excellent BBQ. Ken Harrison, Cheryl Brandstrom and Marge Lovelady are handling the sign ups and organizing the event. The second picnic will be on August 16. This BBQ will be headed up by Pat Stevens and Cheryl Brandstrom. You can sign up for both these events at the next meeting.
In addition to the picnics we have two of our most popular camping outings coming up. Albert and Colleen Wilson are Wagon Masters for this year’s June Lake trip, September 8-15 and Tony and Monique Smock will be Wagon Masters for the Santee Lakes trip November 3-7. Monique will be taking sign-ups at the meeting for Santee, and talk to Colleen about June Lake.
Another fun event will be a trip to the Del Mar Racetrack on July 31. Ken Harrison has all the information for A Day At The Races.
