The fourth annual bass fishnet on the fishout Ranch is scheduled for April 30 - May 2. This 5,800-acre ranch is nestled in the 'backcountry' adjacent to Henry Coe State Park, 20 miles off Highway 152 near Casa de Fruta. It offers excellent bass fishing on 9 ponds that are seldom fished and beautiful hills and open country for hiking and photography. There is a two-storied ranch house and a bunkhouse to accommodate everyone's needs. The ranch house overlooks the Orestimba River and is the historic site of Joaquin Murietta's adobe home dating to the late 1800's. The bass ponds can be fished either from shore or in float tubes, small boats or canoes. Limited hunting for ground squirrels will be permitted again using 22-caliber rim fire rifles only. Anyone uncomfortable with this arrangement should not sign up. Four-wheel carpooling is a MUST. The weekend cost is: $135 per adult and $85 per youngster (10-15 yrs only). Due to limited sleeping arrangements, we can take up to 20 people: maximum total 15 fishers and up to 5 non-fishers. The call-in date to get your name on the list is Wednesday, April 7 @ 7:00 p.m. (831) 335-5727. If you are a partnered couple, one call-in is okay. Otherwise, each person must call in.
