um, I thought the first outing was yesterday?
Showed up and no one was there!
Fished till about 7. The sea, wind, and surf won the battle.

Hello to all,

My wife and I spend lots of time in Marina. Hopefully I can use this to get together with people who know how to actually catch fish. I've fished the beach, I've fished the rocks, I've fished ML Jetty, I've only actually caught anything at the CG Pier.

I'm in! This is awesome. When are the meet-ups? I would love to put some faces to all the names. Look forward to meeting you guys! Does anybody else fish for Batrays?

[Sin_Coast]

Dan, I accept your nomination with 2 caveats: no background checks and no drug tests LOL.

Our first official Meeting is Wednesday, March 23rd @ 5pm on Marina state beach. To the left of the prkng lot if you arrive late. Target species will be barred surfperch with a chance for striper or halibut. If the ocean is really rough, we'll move the location closer to Monterey like at the Beach Hotel or something, but I'll be sure to post an update in advance if that happens.

Batrays aren't normally caught from the mid-bay beaches. Perhaps closer to Monterey or closer to Santa Cruz. Every now and then, we get a huge run of rays @ Wharf 2 in Monterey. And they also frequent Elkhorn Slough near Moss Landing, but otherwise we don't catch very many of them.

i second the nomination of sin coast. and whats this about the gathering on the 23rd?

I think we should make this a democratically fishing vote. Whomever catches the biggest BSP next Wednesday gets the Presidential nod of good hope. (Just kidding.)

Maybe look into checking out a (sport boat), Oh, ya I know "the unforgivable word" maybe we could all go incogneato, thats even if we have a decient season this year, till then be safe out there...mutt.
