IT BACK TO WORK BUT ON A SAD NOTE

Irv — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 21:53:56 +0000

Hello all!!!!!!

Well we are back from our much needed time off.

Mike and the boys had a great time in Mexico and I had good hunting in Nebraska but as always good things come to an end.

Mike has already started some projects on the boat and I am booking trips for the upcoming season.

Our first trip of the year is a 2 1/2 day Colonet trip that departs on January 16, 2009. If you book this trip and mention you saw it advertised hear on REPORTS FROM THE BRIDGE you can go for 50% off the regular price.There are a limited amount of spots at this price so call Larry now to save.

On a sad note long time friend and mentor Dick Helgern passed away this weekend.

My father knew Dick and fished with him as far back as the late 1950s when Dick was running the Catalina Special for Norm Hagen. I caught my first yellow tail on the Reel Special when Dick was running it a few years later. I worked for Dick off and on during the 1960s on the Electra while I was still in school. In the early 1970s when I bought my first boat (the Sundown) Dick counseled and helped me tough those first tough years as a young boat owner. When I started to build a new Sundown in 1979 I used many of his ideas on the new boat.

Dick was one of the best sportfishing operators I have ever known. It wasn’t just his fish sense (witch was equaled by very few) but it was his business sense and his ability to make every passenger feel special and appreciated.

Richard you may be gone but you will never be forgotten.

NOVEMBER TRIPS FROM LONG BEACH WRAP-UP

Irv — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:22:04 +0000

Well the boat is back home in San Diego. The guys have put her to bed for the month.

Mike is off to his place in Mexico. Warley flew home. Brad, Doug & Arron are going to meet Mike in a week. Irv and his pack of hounds are headed for the frozen north. Jake drew boat sitting duty for the first 2 weeks then it’s off to Mexico for him too.

The guys will all be back for the Christmas trip departing December 26. and then start boat work the week after New Years.

Our month in Long Beach was great. We had beautiful weather every trip and the Ling cod & rock fishing was superb. The yellows disappeared after the first trip but Mike managed to find a few halibut some bass lots of big bonito and a couple of black sea bass to go along with the limit style bottom grabber fishing on all of the trips.

The largest LING COD in November was caught by YOLANDA LOPEZ of Wilmington (24.2lbs.) She wins the OKUMA TITUS 2 SPEED REEL

The largest yellow of the month was captured by CLAY VAN THISTLE of Lakewood He wins a spot on one of our 2009 spring 2 day trips.

CONGRATULATIONS FROM THE BIG GAME 90 CREW AND OKUMA TACKLE

hope to see you next year in Long Beach or sooner
