Local Surf Fishing
Every Saturday after the club meeting (except February-it'll be after the ConFab, Sat., Feb. 16th)
Fishmaster: Sam Bishop - 476-6571

Join us for our monthly Saturday Surf Fishing, Saturday morning, February 16, 07:30 AM. (High tide is 6.0', 05:40 AM: Low tide is -0.8' 1:31 PM, sunrise is at 06:50 AM) Stay as long as you like, but we will probably finish by 10 - 11 AM. (If it is raining, storming or a very high surf, we'll cancel.)
We'll be meeting at Manresa Beach State Park (Just beyond the railroad underpass, overlooking the ocean). If the gate is not yet open, we will wait outside. There is some parking outside.
Bring waders (preferably neoprenes), wader belt, stripping basket, 7 - 9 weight rod, and sinking head line. I recommend an intermediate shooting head, but any sinking line will do.
I will have a spare stripping basket and flies. If someone needs rod/reel, let me know and I will have one ready.
Call or e-mail with questions: my home number is 476-6451, or the work number, 274-4024, or e-mail, sambishop@totlcom.com.

This lake is privately run. It's three hours from Santa Cruz (on Hwy 88 near Jackson, CA) and what the fish lack in numbers they make up for in size. If you have ever wanted to be towed in a float tube by a fish, Lake Amador trout can do this. If you have never fished from a float tube, and want to treat this trip as an introduction to float tubing, I will have float tubes for loan for those who call in advance to reserve one.
At the March meeting, I will be glad to supply maps and driving directions for the three-hour drive. The cost per day, for one car, with two people and two float tubes is $24. The link to the Lake Amador website, with parking and launching information and fishing prices is www.lakeamador.com
Fishing: Use a float tube or boat. Fish are in the top five feet of water. Use floating or intermediate sinking lines. Fishing is good from first light.
Camping: For those wishing to stay overnight, the link with the Lake Amador overnight RV camping info and costs is: www.lakeamador.com/fees
Lodging: The Eureka Street Inn (www.eurekastreetinn.com) is owned by Chuck and Sandy Anderson formerly of Santa Cruz. It's a great place to stay! The Best Western Inn in Jackson has low winter rates, and there is a campground as well. If you have questions, call Don Wilcox at (408) 559-3454.
There will be a sign-up sheet at the February and March meetings. There is no limit to the number of people who can attend this fishout, but the fishmasters need to know who is coming, and Don will need to know who will need a loaner float tube. Call Don or Pete if you plan to come and we will tell you where and what time we are meeting.
