Tackle Day was April the 9th. However, the money keeps coming in thanks to Co DeCoudres’ and Ron Herbst’ efforts to sell donated tackle & equipment which are still coming in thanks to our members cleaning out the gear that they don’t use any more. The total donated to the Foundation this year’s event will exceed $10,000 and still some coming in – THIS IS AN OUTSTANGING ACCOMPLISHMENT AND A GREAT BENEFIT TO A GREAT CAUSE.
Tonight was our first evening meeting of this year will be May 26, 2022. It was well attended and new members that are still working and cannot attend the lunch members were there in number. It was good to see new members Erin Brady, Davis Aldana, Alex Mckeever.

Fish Reports:
- Phil Capriccio reports that he and six friends went on a day and a half trip on Railtime. They caught 16 very nice yellows and two sea bass. The weather and crew were great and it’s a great boat. Yellows were all over 25lbs and up to 37 lbs. Seabass are only 20-25lbs. Phil caught one yellow 34lbs on 25# and one seabass on 30-#. Way to go PHIL!!!!!
Past Events:
- Fresh Water Trip to Lake El Salto, Mexico was May 16 where we all loaded our gear on Alaska Airlines to Mazatlán and returning home on May 20. Twelve SCTC members lead by Paul McEachern, Greg Bohnet and Hank Brown had four great days fishing for Large Mouth Bass. The weather was good, the accommodations were spectacular and with ‘all inclusive’ food and drink’ a great time was had by all. Paul McEachern and Greg Bohnet won the tournament again this year. THE TRIP VETRAINS SAID IT WAS THE WORST FISHING IN LAKE EL SALTO IN TWENTY YEARS BUT TO US ‘FIRST TIMERS’ WE THOUGHT CATCHING 15 TO 20 LMBass A DAY WAS TERRRIFIC – the LMB are spectacular fighters..
