Meeting Minutes
February meeting minutes:
The Rancho Bernardo Anglers monthly meeting was held on Monday February the 5th. Club President Paul Montgomery called the meeting to order with 14 members present. Paul mentioned that this was our first meeting since our Christmas Party at Carvers Steak House. A huge “Thank You” goes to Orchid Martinez who donated a Bay of Los Angeles trip as a Christmas party raffle item. That trip brought in $1000 to our club, thank you again Orchid.
The meeting was then handed over to Treasurer Don Urena. He stated our current club bank account was $11,238.38. This included two payments for our January and February Ensenada trips.
Several recent fishing trips were also discussed. Paul Montgomery discussed his trip to La Paz (Baja). On that trip he caught yellowfin tuna, dorado and a couple of bill fish (way to go Paul!).
The January 17th club trip to Ensenada was also discussed. It was an amazing day of fishing with full limits of beautiful red rock fish as well as whitefish. The catch of the day went to Tyler Paul to muscled in a beautiful yellowtail (est. 28-30lbs). Aboard the boat, the group was treated to breakfast burritos and Poki (similar to ceviche, it was amazing).
Peter Graves also discussed his trip to Anglers Inn at Lake El Salto. He gave the bass fishing and the resort accommodations a big thumbs up.
The medical condition of our club member Dr Peter Kastorf was shared with the group. Peter continues to deal with complications from a foot injury. Dr Peter Kastorf is currently back in Germany receiving medical treatment. Our prayers and thoughts are with Peter for a speedy recovery.
The Rancho Bernardo Anglers Club provided three volunteers for the 29th Annual Lake Poway Youth Derby. The duties included rigging, fishing tips and working the fish weighing station. The volunteers shared their experience and fishing enthusiasm with the youngsters. Thank you to club volunteers, Tracy McAtee, Dick Konopasek, and Don Urena.
There is an Ensenada/Gamefisher fishing trip scheduled for Tuesday March 12th , This trip was origanlly scheduled for the 14th but had to be rescheduled due to scheduling conflicts. Currently there are several openings for that trip. If you are interested in going on that trip, please contact Frank Moton or Don Urena, the cost of the trip is $175.00. The trip starts at Brown Field, from there we are shuttled to Ensenada via Baja Convoys (aka Orchid Martinez). Once we arrive in Ensenada, we board the Gamefisher. The day starts with breakfast burritos and before we leave Ensenada we enjoy some amazing tacos at Orchids secret taco stand. If you like to fish and you like to eat, this trip is a must!
We also have another Gamefisher trip scheduled for Thursday May 9th. This trip will be targeting Yellowtail or whatever bites your line.
Our next meeting is scheduled for March 4th. Hope to see you all there.
