Senior Anglers of Escondido

This is my kind of fishing experience!

Just enjoying some fishing at our hole get runoff and a high dollar Penn rod/reel stolen right in front of our face licensing

The Catfish ARE IN!!

Lake Poway opened up. Invited my fellow Senior Anglers club members to join me in a little tournament. Nine of us enjoyed fresh air, sunshine, and distancing with masks. O'side club member Chris Bentley took the honor with his 3.26# Tailwalker Rainbow. The rest of us found that the fish were also practicing social distancing. We'll do it again May 29 @ Lake Wohlford.

Great News! Shoreline fishing is returning to Dixon Lake and Lake Wohlford on Tuesday May 12th. Facial Coverings are required when purchasing a fishing permit a...nd social distancing will be enforced. Parking Spaces will be limited! There will be no boat rentals or dock fishing at this time! Camping is still prohibited!

That escalated quickly.

I'm doing fine guys. Thanks for asking.

Ken H., the Escondido Senior Anglers Public Relations Director described the outing as follows: From the shores of Oceanside Harbor Beach . . . One of our most productive days in four years of surf tournaments . . . six anglers showed up for the February In-shore Fishing Tournament. The morning of February 27 started with a good breakfast at Harbor Drive Denny’s, then heading out to a perfect day at the north harbor jetty. For four of the six anglers this was their first c...lub tournament, and two were brand new members. One attendee represented the Oceanside Senior Anglers, our first joint tournament between the two clubs. SAE Members Jim Davidson, Brian Doeing, Daria Gardynik, Ken Harrison, and Jerry Watanabe, along with OSA member Randall Mattes, found a beautifully warm mid 70s day, not much pounding surf on shore, and best of all . . . NO serge or seaweed. (We got quite a show from the surfers as shoulder-high breakers started pumping around mid-morning. There are some very talented surfers in O’side!) A total of 16 fish were caught: Daria G. with 6 - biggest was a 12 oz. Spotted Surf Perch caught on Berkley 3 worms with Berkley’s ocean scent attractant (Jerry says it was his expert hook baiting that was the reason for her success.) Jerry W. with 1 - a 9 oz. Spotted Surf Perch using the same bait as Daria. Brian D. with 4 - His first time surf fishing - largest being a 5 oz. Corbina, caught on bloodworms.Ken H. with 1 - a 3 oz. Corbina caught with Berkley 3 worms.Berkley sand crabs, and squid, were also tried but didn’t produce. Winner of the tournament was OSA member Randall Mattes, with a 2# 4 oz. Spotfin Croaker, on bloodworms. See more

Fishing was fair. Everyone had a good time with plenty of food and games.We enjoyed having the use of the pavilion every day.
