Mr.PukaShell Tacos W Domtesta27 DAY 1
YakDout pizza DAY 4
Makobob DAY 6

Gonna try my best to make it down. No guarantee. Need to deliver the USS Ratdog and some paddles for the Baja house. Pargo/grouper season. Get stoked.

Pargo, grouper, cabrilla, YT, sierra, bass and corvina too. Yep time to get STOKED.

I can split a dinner day with someone...I can make some of that chili I mad last time.

Bob, do you know if a panga will be available to hire this year? That was fun last year and would like to do it again is possible.

I am still deciding, but if I go, can me and Bob have the second night.

I will be bringing stuff that should be eaten fresh and ASAP.

Thanks.

Pollo should be floating around rancho grande/Alphonsinas. Shouldn't be too hard to get a hold of him.

Robert it should not be a problem to get a panga. Hashem can do. let me know, thanks.

Hey Bob

So glad to hear you are planning on making it down, the crew at the restaurant will all be VERY happy to see you. I'm able to maybe team up with anyone who wants to share any night for dinner at the restaurant and cook up our fresh caught fish.

And now for a report from last week: I fished three days, one at las encantadas and two in gonzaga proper. On the second day I ran into Steve (EOD) from Idaho while fishing Gonzaga. I pulled up to him and his buddy fishing out of PA's and asked him how they were doing and he said, "Hey I've fished with you before!" After he took off his buff/sunglasses I recognized Steve from last year's October trip. Happy to have the company, I fished with Steven and his buddy Brian for the next day and a half. We caught all the usual suspects (Sierras, triggers, spotties) and also got into the skippies (although they were harder for me to catch on the flyrod this time than they were last October). I also caught an 8 pound yellowtail on my 8 weight that put up a great fight. Steve's buddy Brian caught a jack crevalle and Steve caught a nice cabrilla (15 lbs?) that ended up getting us a free lunch at the restaurant in Gonzaga. Fishing wasn't always fast and furious but was plenty good enough to have me stoked to go back in a few weeks :cheers1:

Looking forward to hanging out with the group and especially Senyor Mako!!!!

Thanks Paul for the report. Any pictures of the fish caught, or maybe of the new bathroom?

I don't follow baseball except during the World Series, usually if the Dodgers are playing.

However, this year I will be a Chicago Cubs fan for it is a historical event if they win the series.

I remember there was a TV at the restaurant, and at the hotel at the Bay.

Am I correct to assume they can get the games?

I remember we watched NFL at the restaurant at the bay. It will be great to watch it close by at Jose's place.

Hashem, the TV at the restaurant is kind of hit or miss, depending on how much solar energy they have in reserve. It never hurts to ask and I think our chances of catching a baseball game are good. A nice tip wouldn't hurt :).

I didn't take any pictures of the fish, I never remember or seem to feel motivated to take pics when fishing. I know, I know, no pics it didn't happen. As for the bathroom it is nice and clean and looks great.

Not necessarily. Though pictures help motivate others.

I am still on the fence, but falling toward going!

If I do, I could use your help with practicing my Spanish and reviewing handouts from a recent class that I took.

Por favor.

Por supuesto, amigo! Yo te ayudo con el espanol si quieres.

That's it Paul, you reached the limit. When court is held around the campfire in the evenings YOU will teach the SPANISH CLASS, 10 words a night. Si quieres amigo!!!!!!! For the rest of us I understand a night cap may be available to enjoy the night skies, which should be fabulous for this trip as it should be the DARK of the MOON. Bring a jacket as evenings can be cool. Tight Lines.

Just to wet your appetite!

Look for someone you may know in this video

Thank you Hashem, such awesome memories. Our Gonzaga area in the fall is hard to beat. Tight Lines.

De acuerdo, amigo. Lecciones de espanol para todos los que quieran. Looking forward to seeing you Roberto, and everyone else. Will be fun to have such a big group this time!

Newest WORD in is that Rossman may be able to join us for a night in camp, Which would be AWESOME. WEATHER expected will be in the 80's and the 90's with temps falling to the 60-70's at night. too early to predict the winds. Tight Lines.

A good start.

Por supuesto, amigo! Yo te ayudo con el espanol si quieres.
Of course, friend! I'll help with the Spanish if you want.


De acuerdo, amigo. Lecciones de espanol para todos los que quieran.
Alright, amigo. Lessons of Spanish for those who want to.

I will bring my handout from the condense class that I took to share.
