Newport, 10-10-11

Well not much to say about yesterday except it sucked for me. 6-10:30am for nada. I was skunked for the first time in years. I tried every color I had, changed up speeds and changed patterns for nothing. Steve got a couple legals and some shorts. That just made it more frustrating. There wasn't much for tidal movement, but the wind stayed down. Water was 63º and not much Red Tide at all.

The redeeming part of the day was my trip to Shimano. I took in my 10yr old Curado 200SF for a much needed service and they told me they didn't have parts for it any more and I'd have to take it to Savon tackle. I wasn't too thrilled as no one beats Shimano's $25 service (last time they replaced all the gears, bearings and drag washers for $25). Then the guy asks me to hold on a minute and goes in the back. He comes back out and says I can use the old one for credit and get the new Curado 200G6 for $116 (new it's $159). So, next month when they get the new model in stock I'll be shipped a new one. SWEET. The new ones are super solid (feels like a Chronarch when you put it in gear) and a lot smaller too. Can't wait for my new toy.

It's in Irvine near Bake and Muirlands. They should have the address on their website.

I fished Saturday for minimal results. I don't know what it is but Newport hasn't been hot at all for me as of lately.

Newport always is tough this time of year, but yesterday for me was the worse I've had in years.

still waiting on shimano. . .

I've a bait-caster in their possession for about 5 weeks. I knew it needed parts but .. .

They may be close and relatively inexpensive, but they are slow!

I'm calling on Thurs.
