From the Helm
by Charles Been, Club

A couple
of weeks ago, Wayne Slayhor reminded me that in the past, this column has
been called “From the Bilge”. He suggested that I use that byline. I don’t
know if he was referring to my literary skills or what.
If you missed the Sundowner Potluck last month, you really
missed an outstanding presentation. Bob Hoose from Berkley /Sevenstran, was
our speaker. He was tops. He gave us secrets that a full house had paid
$129.00 each to hear the week before. He told us secrets from the Pro’s
and how they searched for marlin during the season. Also he demonstrated
ways to rig jigs and how to run the jig spread behind the boat. He really
kept our attention. If you want to know the secret information, talk to
someone who was present, they might share some of his secrets.
We plan to have the next Sundowner Potluck August 13, 2006 at
4:30PM at the Marlin Club. Stay tuned for details on the program.
The Spring Shootout was May 20th. The fish count was
probably the lowest that the tournament ever had. We hope that next year
the count will be up.
Don’t forget the Halibut Tournament coming up June 10th.
Chris Lahr has assured me that all persons entered will catch at least a
10lb halibut. (That’s what he said)
I say as of today, May 26, 2006, the water between the mainland
and Catalina was 69 degrees. Rumors should start soon of fish being seen.
Woody Brickly told me to mention that he saw two tailers last week, however
he had been to a party the night before and didn’t quite remember where he
had seen them. (Somewhere between Hooters and the San Diego River?)
With that
said, see you at the Halibut Tournament, June 10th.
