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.

cash only for the new member sign ups?

ful-rac · 11-09-2015, 07:02 PM

Shouldn't existing CCA members....like me, get some extra tickets too? WTF?!

Saba Slayer · 11-09-2015, 07:45 PM

"cash only for the new member sign ups?"...no Jorge...we take American Dollars, credit cards, Pesos, first born, and virgins!

"Shouldn't existing CCA members....like me, get some extra tickets too?
Tony...you should get extra tickets just for being You!

See you knuckleheads at the meeting...!

GeauxFish · 11-09-2015, 09:22 PM

Well I was always a CCA member in Texas & Louisiana. The "Star Tournament" down south is huge. It has great prizes (trucks, boats, college scholarships). The tournament was for catching tagged fish and big-fish for different species. It was always a no-brainer to register for the tournament. I paid my $50 every year for the chance to win. Hopefully, the CCA of CA can grow to size needed to do the same type of tournament here. In the meantime, I will support the local chapters, have a few tacos & beer, meet other local anglers, buy a few Sabiki 500's, and maybe get a lucky raffle ticket. I definitely encourage all to attend. The future fisheries will only get better with more involvement and influence from the CCA.......See ya Wednesday

Saba Slayer · 11-10-2015, 12:29 PM

Grant from Okuma called and said he's coming to the meeting and he's bringing two tackle trays with Okuma's new Squish jigs for two lucky raffle winners!

Saba Slayer · 11-11-2015, 07:05 AM

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.
