Pier Fishing! Come catch something, maybe even a fish!

We're going to try this event again, in spite of the limited success we've had actually catching anything in the past!  Rumor has it that there's always something to be caught off the Santa Cruz Wharf!

This is a family event--so bring Mom and the siblings as well. If you don't want to fish, there's always the Boardwalk and the rest of Santa Cruz to explore.

Show up whenever you like.  Although we published a 9:00 AM start time, the good fishing (and the good spots) may be gone if you don't show up early.  You do not need a fishing license.  Just bring a rod and reel with a heavy weight (and lots of line!-)  Bring your own bait, or buy some on the pier.

Lunch, provided by the Red Tail Hawks, will be from 11.30am -12.30pm somewhere on the wharf--probably near where it bends. Pleases RSVP to this evite so we can guess numbers.

There's lots of parking--especially early in the morning--around the pier.  (Just make sure you feed your meter because the Santa Cruz Parking Patrol are sticklers about filling the town coffers.)

Where: Santa Cruz Wharf (http://www.ci.santa-cruz.ca.us/pr/wharf/ )

When: Sunday 30th September, 9am to whenever, but lunch is only from 11.30 to 12.30

What to Bring: Chairs, hats, sunscreen, fishing rods and bait
