Glad to hear you are doing better.  I look forward to fishing with you later this year.  I want to give Del Monte beach a try when the halibut come in.

Take care - Kevin

This is going to be a banner year.  We've got all the major fisheries hammered out well and can competantly go after them.  I'm sure Chef will be in the thick of it with us, and I'll be happy to make a few early season big sur runs.  Going to have to break out the heavy metal though, since it's only open from 120 to 240ft deep....

Sorry to hear about your cancer Chef.  Good luck and a speedy recovery.  I look forward to getting a chance to fish with you this year.

Having had a number of friends afflicted with cancer recently, I have decided that I will donate all my Big Fish winnings to a cancer research organization ( TBD).   So guys,  I hope this doesn't make you feel so bad when I take all your money!   :smt003

Hey Chefstefano, Glad to hear your recovery is going well. Yakfishermen are highly susceptible to skin cancer. I see the skin doctor a couple of times a year and I do have scars. Take care. Let me know when yor ready we'll do the Forebay again.
Why Do I paddle a kayak instead of a float tube or a pontoon boat? I like seeing where I'm going not where I've been!
Paddle safe and wrap'em tight.

Chef - welcome back - nice to hear you're doing better. Hope to see you on the water soon!

Take care buddy!

FYI: I lost my Dad and my Sister to Cancer as well. Maybe we can organize a fishing tourney some time and donate the money to help fight Cancer.
