dedication to the club and support this year which made my job a lot
easier. Getting speakers, some on short notice, coordinating
membership, being charter master and keeping up with all the
additions and cancellations, keeping the books, buying and running
the raffle every month, coordinating the freshwater events and
making sure the club runs in as smooth a fashion took teamwork.
Warren keeping the peace and Wil and Don notifying us of volunteer
opportunities during the year is appreciated. I want to thank everyone
who took time to help the club. I hope and pray we can continue to
operate at this level.
Hope to see you fishing soon and at the banquet in December.

As of February 20, 2008 they are still debating the proposals for
Northern California. Once done, can Southern California be far
behind. The timeline for Southern California’s Marine Protected Act
appears to b about 2 months behind that of Northern California and
should start in late spring to early summer.
Another concern this year is the proposed ban on personal watercraft
because of the infestations seen in local freshwater lakes. So far I
have only heard rumors proposing a ban. If the invasion of mussels
and none domestic species continues those with boats will have very
expensive lawn ornaments.
If you look at the rising cost of fuel, permits, licenses and such, our
sport is costing more each season and the areas we are allowed is
ever decreasing. The elimination of fishing areas, the proposed bans
or restrictions should alarm us all. The sport we love is being attacked
on many fronts and our future fishing rights are at risk.

I hope when you went to Fred Hall you will considered joining United
Anglers. Not only would you have gotten into Fred Hall free, but your
donation would help in our battle to keep fishing areas open. United
Anglers is in the forefront in protecting our rights.
Finally, I hope you invite someone to join the club, volunteer at a
youth fishing event, take a child fishing to introduce them to the sport
and talk about these subjects. We need dialogue and action, if our
sport is to survive.

Island Tak Trip August 23
By
Wayland Yu
This Island Tak trip was great just like the rest of
the Charters that Turners R&R put together.
This time around I’ve decided that I was going to
do something a little bit different. I’ve decided to
get some sleep at home the night before and
drive out to the landing. I got to the dock at 3:30
AM. Everyone was all sleeping in the cabin by
then. Around 4:15 AM Steve and Johnny show up
and started to set up the boat and we were out of
the dock around 4:45AM. We stopped to get
some bait and off we went.
It was about a two and a half hour run out to the
Islands with the seas amazingly not too bumpy.
So about 7AM like clockwork the guys started to
wake up. It’s amazing how you guys know when
to get up without an alarm clock waking you guys
up!
So we arrived at the Island at 7:30AM or so. I
believe it was Santa Cruz Island and Steve got on
the horn and told us to fish the Dropper loop or
the sliding sinker rig with anchovies. I went and
grabbed my Dropper loop rig and was ready with
Paul next to me. Paul noticed that I was using a
Owner circle hook and he told me that Steve
hated circle hooks especially name brand ones,
and he went on to say that I didn’t have enough
leader on my rig to Steve’s satisfaction. From
then on I was worried that Steve was going to see
it and make fun of me. Thanks… Paul for putting
that in my head!!!
So we arrived at our first location “Yellow Wall”
and some were fishing the sliding sinker and I
was fishing my dropper loop. Within a couple of
minutes of my bait in the water I was hooked up!!!
Then a couple of the other guys were on shortly.
Steve also mentioned that some of the fish were
suspended as well and the guys that were fishing
the sliding sinker were now hooked up as well.
Within a couple of minutes of great fishing and a
couple of WSB lost the bite turned off and we
moved on to our 2nd spot and drifted because the
current was to strong to anchor. On that stop no
WSB but a couple of legal calicos and Paul
landed a monster halibut for the jackpot. Congrats
Paul. After that we hit up a couple of more other
spots along Yellow wall and Blue wall to pick off

Well sometimes it doesnt get any better, and
sometimes it does....
Today my close friend and former Turners Rod
and Reel club member Scott Smith and I decided
to go give DVL a look and see if we could find
some kind of pattern that would produce results.
For those of you who have not visited the lake
lately the water level is lower than it has ever
been with the exception of course when they first
filled the reservoir. All of the once under water
structure is high and dry and the launch ramp is a
pathetic 2 lane cobble stone block uneven path to
what still is the best fishery in Southern California.
Today Scott and I had no expectations except to
have a good time and get away from the city. That
is exactly what we found, a good time forgetting
about life if even for an afternoon and slipping into
a comatose stage of good music, good friendship
and good times.
some more legal calico’s and blue perch.
Over all it was a fun and beautiful day fishing with
friends. These were the anglers on this Island Tak
trip.

Well you never know how your day is going to
end up so we decided to take some photos for my
Turners R&R report. As we rolled up to our first
spot we found the water to be gin clear and about
20’ of good water clearity. I knew with the 79
degree water temp these fish would not be
shallow so after a couple of casts into the deep
water we found what we were looking for.
Many of the fish we caught today needed a
'Fizzing' to release air from their bladder. I am
happy to say that all of our fish were released
healthy and swam down back to the deep from
where they came from with hopes of finding them
again in the near future.
After launching the boat at 6:15am we were
pleasently greeted with a limit of bass in the first
30-40 minutes of the morning but we also knew
this lake can shut off like a light switch so we
continued not knowing what the day would bring.
We thought to ourselves could this get any
better? Much to our suprise it did!
My friend Scott would throw a variety of baits
including top water and cranks as I focused on
the Texas rig and a ½ ounce jig targeting 25’-45’.
We caught a variety of fish with most fish
measuring up to the 15" size limit. I dont think we
had maybe 5 or 6 fish today that didnt measure
up on the ruler. By the end of the day we
estimated between 30-40 fish give or take. It was
hard to keep track.
We found ourselves with not a wide open bite but
a steady bite that never slowed down when we
left at 4:30pm. It was very good fishing that
provided a constant bite all day long.
For a while it got a little bit rediculous. We would
catch fish everywhere we went. I hate to say it
was wide open but it practicly was. We had
several double hook ups and between skipping
songs on the IPOD and retieng or unhooking fish
the time flew by.
These fish ate good today and Scott and I were
they're personal chefs. In fact I would say we
served it up on a silver platter. It was an awesome
time and the weather could not have been any
better with a bit cloud cover and a light breeze
just perfect for fishing. The quality of these fish
was excellent. We didnt find any giants but we
had a few good ones that tipped the 4-5 pound
mark.
Hopefully these fish will hold in their summertime
areas where they usually hunker down for the
warm water season. I plan on fishing a bass club
tournament at DVL the end of September. Im
pretty sure they will remain holding in these same
areas until the weather starts to cool down at
night and that wont happen until mid to late
October.
Just a footnote: The drop shot bite was on the
slow side today. I gave it a good whirl just to see if
they would eat it. We had only one taker and that
was it for the drop shot.
Im glad the fishing today was as good as the
catching but like I always say, “Fishing is so much
more than catching a fish, Its about getting away
and enjoying time with friends and family and just
relaxing”! Get out there while you still can and
create the good times and the memories that will
last forever. I look forward to creating new
memories of my own very soon!
Tip; Dont wear your cell phone on your hip while
hooking up the boat over water and dont try
calling my cell phone. On second thought maybe
one of those DVL bass will answer.
Thanks for listening; Big Ed!
