“FISH AND PLAY THE SENIOR ANGLER WAY”

From the President’s Pole

Greetings everyone, I just got back from our Lake Hemet

outing and had a wonderful time with our fellow campers. We caught fish, had some delicious dinners, and enjoyed

evening campfires together in the “cooler temperatures.” Thanks again to Karen and Bob Taylor and Carol and

Ron Parker for all their efforts.

The club Turkey Fry was delicious and the White Elephant Sale items were gone quickly. Thanks again to Carmen

and Tomas Martinez for opening up their beautiful home

to all of us and to Marge and Gene Lovelady for all their work.

The fall fishing season is very slowly turning towards win-

ter. Local lakes are just starting to be stocked as Dixon Lake opened for trout fishing on November 19th. A nine

pounder was caught by a lucky local angler. Yours truly found four suicidal trout while fishing the last two hours on

the 20th.

December activities include the Awards Banquet (December 3) and Viejas Bus trip, a club fund raiser (December 10th).

By the time you get this the Awards Banquet will have happened, but it’s not too late to call Barbara Gattuso to

join the fun on the Viejas Trip.

Wishing you all the happiest of Holidays and looking

forward to a great 2015!

P.S. Don’t forget, there is no meeting in December.

DECEMBER 2014

FRESH WATER

LAKE HEMET---November 16 to 21, 2014

Thirty-one campers experienced three days of colder weather with lows in the 20’s, one day lows in the

30’s with lots of sunshine and wind. Fishing was a little slow with a total of 58 being caught. Daily win-

ners included Larry Jauert, John Tester, Bob Taylor and Warren Estes. Big fish for the week went

to Bob Taylor with a 14.8 ounce rainbow trout.

The sewing ladies worked on personal projects (possibly Christmas gifts). The daily walkers enjoyed

seeing unusual birds including eagles as well as deer.

Lake Hemet campground personell went out of their way to make this trip a success providing one

campsite, fire wood and moving tables to accommodate the evening activities.

Bob and Karen Taylor with Ron and Carol Parker did a great job that was appreciated by all, by be-

ing Wagon Masters.

JANUARY SPEAKER

The January meeting guest speaker will be our own Ron Parker. Ron will present a 2014 Senior Anglers of Escondido Slideshow, with pictures of our club activities and various mem-

bers enjoying all of these fun activities. This has become a favorite program, and we all are anxious and excited to see this year’s edition. We welcome for any or all visitors to see and enjoy what our club is all about.

Hope the Holidays are good to all.

BBQs to grill a great chicken dinner .

SENIOR CENTER QUILTS DONATION

At the June Lake Campout the Quilting Ladies concentrated on making

lap quilts for the Senior Center to be distributed to those seniors in

Escondido who are not as fortunate as we. The quilters worked

on these at home as well and together created 27 quilts which were

presented at the October meeting.

MARY’S HOUSE

The quilting ladies and their friends continued support of Mary's House this year. ESA members gen-

erously supported this effort donating cash, gift cards and gifts. Each of the six residents of Mary’s

house will receive a wonderful gift bag chock full of gift cards, personal items, mittens, cosmetics,

candy, bracelets, etc. Thank you all for helping to make the holidays a little nicer for these girls.
