The Marlin Club of San Diego Monthly Newsletter |
From the Bilge
MARLIN, MARLIN EVERYWHERE -- Except at the Club
Marlin have been seen from the 9 mile bank all the way up to the 14 mile bank, as well as the Albacore grounds. None have been pulled in yet by a Marlin Club member. There was one taken by a Mission Bay Marlin Club member. I know there have been many members out there trying – so let’s keep up the effort and fire off that cannon.
Past Presidents’ predictions have not proven correct and no one wins the grand prize.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER NEEDED
We are still in need of a photographer to be a back up for Barbara and share the photographic duties of the Marlin Club. Please contact the Marlin Club or Bernard Jaffe at 619-299-5255.

Once the 1st Marlin is brought in, the Club will be open 7 days/week from 2:00 – 6:00 p.m.
To weigh fish in after 6:00 p.m., prior arrangements MUST be made either by VHF radio (channel 78) or by calling the club at 619-222-6877. No fish will be weighed in after 10:00 p.m.
***NEWS FLASH***
DAVE VERDUGO & CAROLYN ARE NOW OFFICIALLY ENGAGED
Carolyn reeled Dave in shortly after reeling in her 1st Marlin at the East Cape. We’re not sure which one put up a tougher fight. The wedding is planned for next June with a honeymoon back at the East Cape. Maybe we should make this a club trip?

Bob broke down at the Coronado Islands and had a long boat ride back – hopefully nothing major. He tried signing up the towboat driver in the Marlin Club, perhaps he’s planning another trip. Bob & Bill Lemaster did manage to weigh in a couple nice yellowtail for the August tournament.
