Bump for a great cause.

Who else is attending? Kayakers were seriously active in keeping areas open to our access during the MLPAs. CCA has the NATIONAL backing to keep more closures from happening.

Yeah, remember those areas that the rich beachfront NIMBYs got closed "to preserve the habitat"? They are having sand berms put in place to protect their homes when the "natural" state of those beaches are just about sand-free.

Want the decision makers influenced by another parade of misguided school kids crying about the loss of coral reefs off of California to get extra credit in their civics class while their teachers are about wetting themselves with pride? Then sit back and do nothing.

A lot of people on this board put in serious time and effort before. Don't think the environuts are sitting back and not planning their next grab.

I will be there. Who else?

Saba Slayer · 11-09-2015, 12:59 PM

Thanks Shawn
Well said...!
We just got 3 more items for the raffle.
Dana Point Jet Ski donated 2 one hour jet ski passes and Gary " Big Fish " Sato donated a crimp kit.

Saba Slayer · 11-09-2015, 01:54 PM

Brandon Hayward is sending two copies of the latest issue of "The Bight" to be included in the CCA raffle.

ful-rac · 11-09-2015, 02:02 PM

I'd donate a sabiki 500 to the cause, but....

As you can see the assholes around here put the ol' hit job out on me and the amazing Sabiki 500tm.

I remember that meeting in Long Beach. I will be there.

Aznronin · 11-09-2015, 02:25 PM

See you there...

Saba Slayer · 11-09-2015, 02:42 PM

You know how it is in Big Business Tony....some Guys will look a gift horse in the mouth and don't appreciate real true Korean workmanship...that's got to be the best looking way to hang laundry to dry that I've ever seen.
I was in the office yesterday and I heard AHI/Promar is selling their whole stock of sabikis to a third world country and investing in the "NEW" Sabiki 500...!

makobob · 11-09-2015, 02:51 PM

RUMOR has it that Makobob's in Gonzaga will place an order for a dozen units in all sizes available to stock our new tackle store. The Sabiki 500 will be the ONLY sabikis sold there. The TRIGGERS love them!!! Baby spottys and Spanish Macks too. Get them while you can, they will sell out fast. Expect to see these packaged as the Special Baja Edition in assorted Mexican colors.

The key to winning raffle prizes is to show up late

Saba Slayer · 11-11-2015, 10:08 PM

"I'd rather be lucky than good"...I think Pat Rilley said that after a Laker Championship...Good job Jorge!!!

What a great success!
Thanks to the all the BWE members that attended...We signed up over 30 new CCA CAL members and we had over 80 people at the meeting.
The Tacos were delicious...the beer was cold...and the "Raffle"/Drawing was Fun!
John, Wayne, and Pat talked about the CCA and our current projects, and in between speakers we gave away lots of cool prizes.
Lots of winners and happy folks at the end of the night.
Thanks for all your support!!!

If the winners of the Brandon Hayward gifts read this, please contact me so I can get your address so we can send the journal out to you.

Way to represent guys!

Jim, thank you again for all you do.

Any chance of one of these meetings being held in an inland location in the future?

Mahigeer · 11-12-2015, 08:32 AM

I attended the CCA meeting last night, joined and even won a prize!
It was very informative, and there are high hopes that as an organization we can do some good for the future of the fishing in California.

There were speeches, raffle, and even a silent auction. Delicious taco and various drinks were available for those who wanted.

Met some old friends and made some new ones too.

1-Saba Slayer is talking shop with other anglers.

2-This was at Rod and Gun club. No club house can be without a well-stocked bar.

3-Table full of donated items to be given away in form of a free raffle.

4-List of some of the members with their record catch.

5-There were about 76 attendees (not counting the officers) listening intensely to the National representative.

6-From left—Dick*, Mahigeer, Ful-rac, George. I could NOT get Saba to come over for the picture.

*Newly appointed board member, Dick is the owner of the now closed Purefield Tackle store in Culver City.

I won the last prize on the raffle. A Daiwa jigging rod. Two people tried to exchange their prize for mine. No way. George did better with multiple wins.
Note myself…suck in the belly for pictures.
