A Contest for All! We’re Changing Things Up for September!
The IGFA Tournament has been transformed into an Angler of the Month contest. Here’s what that means:
First, everyone is already entered in this month-long fishing competition. No need to sign up. No entries; no fees. You just have to go fishing throughout the month of September and report your results using the club website’s online Weighmaster report.
Second, you can fish for any and all species you want to target. Target as many species as you want, and submit up to three (3) fish per species. The Angler of the Year point system will be used to calculate a value for each submission. That means a nice Spotted Bay Bass or Vermillion Rockfish will compete with those big bruiser Bluefin Tuna. It’s a level playing field no matter what you choose to fish for! The most points accumulated throughout the month will win bragging rights and a nice little prize as well.
Hint: The more species you catch (up to three fish per species), the more points you can accumulate.
Third, submit your entries at www.sandiegoanglers.com. Open the MENU and choose FORMS. Click the “Online Weight Receipt Click Here” button and fill out the required information. (Your submissions can also be applied to the Angler of the Year Competition.) Hit submit and you are in the game!!! The Weight Master will calculate the points awarded for each submission received during September and recognize the Angler of the Month at October’s General Meeting.

Note: Only fish caught during September will be included in the point totals. Everyone starts at zero points for purposes of this contest. However, a fish caught during the contest can be used to improve Angler of the Year standings if (1) the fish has a higher point value than a previously submitted specimen or (2) the fish is your first specimen submitted in that category.
Lastly, the fishing is outstanding right now! Whether you are chasing tuna, bass, dorado, rockfish, marlin, yellowtail or any of the other categories, just slay, weigh and play!!
Good luck!

21st Annual Fishin in the Pines

2021 Lake Cuyamaca “Fishing in the Pines” Kids Derby

Hey there Gals & Guys Serving/Cooking/Prepping Team Members,

Prep Day: (09:30am Friday the 24^st) started out perfecto at Al’s house with all our fillet Masters: Dwayne Patenaude, Charlie Fouquette, Mike Kezelle, Cliff Johnson, John Jones, Rudy Garcia, Bill Brown, Butch Paddock, Al Staz. and myself (MIA with Barb hiding in the house) at Al Stasukevich’s Pondarosa. Once again, our refined process of filleting/marinading & packing is nothing short of top shelf according to Al. We got those beautiful Yellowtail, Yellowfin & Bluefin fillets cut, marinated, and bagged up for Saturday. I would say about 3-4hrs. later in the afternoon the sky darkened all around the county and the lightning and rain started, acting as if it was going to foul Butch’s and his staff’s Big Day.  THANKS AGAIN ALL YOU FILLET TEAM MEMBERS.

Game Day: WOW, Saturday the 25^th morning 0630 not much in the way of threatening weather :0)  Yaaay! Off to Sonya’s (“Ramona Café”) to meet up with some of our assume gang, and some of our other heavy hitters hit their regular Saturday morning hang out at Hwy. 67 Café. After a good solid energy boost from the two Cafes, it’s on the road again and off to Julian to make the final turn heading to the Lake. A lot of us arrived approaching the lake about 9:45 seeing the first glance of the Anglers that we would be cooking and serving to/for. There was a fair number of Anglers and vehicles coming into view so we knew it was going to be another great event. The cooking and serving stations were starting to come alive and set-up was well underway. Butch’s staff made it pretty darn easy again to grab a parking place, and our tools and we were off to the races of getting things prepared to cook for and serve to the mass amount of Little Fisher persons and their Families, on that Great Mountainous Paradise. SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT! The morning progressed and before we knew it, the time had come to get busy with the task at hand of feeding some of 5-600 people.

SEE THE PICTURES 🙂

It was a little lighter than years past, Dang that Covid for messing up all that it has messed up :0(          IT WILL BE BIGGER NEXT YEAR!!!
