Donation of Fish to HOW
 

One constant cost for HOW events is always food. At every event after a day of fishing we offer the Vets we are taking out a nice lunch. In general we have tried to do Fish tacos which is always very well received. We have been lucky to have the support or Tommy and COP however it isnt always something that is possible for them. This is where HOW can use your help.

If anybody finds themselves with extra fish (YT,WSB,Halibut, Rockfish,etc) that they would like to donate to HOW we would be most appreciative.


Just wanted to put this out there for the guys that are on the water a lot and may have the opportunity to help. I will work with you in any way possible to get the fish from you and make it easy on you.


If you would like to donate fish please PM Yakmedic, Makobob, or Tacmike and they can take care of planning to receive the fish from you.

CJ, How about tuna? mama ain't a fan and I plan on catching some this weekend.

Of course Ice!

Shooting you an email as well.

I think I can help you guys out! I'll start saving hali's for the event. Im sure the rest of the boys will help out as well...but don't quote me on that! Jorge just hasn't been producing lately...:eek: !

You rock tony thanks!

We host an event once a month so we do require 15-20lbs a fish a month at a minimum o dont be afraid to step up guys! If we end up with more Pelagic than we need I will likely smoke it and hand out to guys as snacks or something.

My first YT from the kayak is going straight to you CJ.

Josh get out there and get that YT, our event is Saturday.

We are set for fish this weekend thanks to a BWE member who donated 2 fat Yellows earlier in the week.

With that said we can always use fish to freeze for when fishing is slower!

Geez....you know when you want to catch and keep fish.....

....they stop biting :mad:

It's definitely not from a lack of trying....

One halibut
 

Yep! Chalk up one halibut for heros on the water! :luxhello:

Awesome, thanks Tony:cheers1:

VERY nice Tony, I know the Veterans will enjoy the local halibut.

Heck ya Tony! we will figure out exchange/drop off. Thank you :luxhello:

I caught 2 10# halis this weekend for a total of 11.5 pounds of pure halibut filet for next weekends HOW tournament. If more is needed I think I can dip into my own personal stockpile....:eek: let me know what you need, happy to help out.

HOW is once again in need. I just weighed the fish we have left from the last event and donations and we are down to 7#.

We have the largest planned veteran outing of the year this weekend 11/8 and will have approximately 60 mouths to feed. If we do not get any further fish donated we are going to be buying 20-25# of fish.

Please help out if you can! Fish can be dropped off to OEX Mission Bay, OEX Sunset Beach, Bob is in Escondido, Mike is in Santee, and I will drive down personally to Sunset.

I live in Orange and work in Irvine. I will be heading down to help out on Saturday, if anyone wants to drop off fish at either of those locations let me know.

With all the yellowtail that has been caught this year, and all the reports of guys catching multiple yellowtail... on multiple trips...Im surprised HOW has only 7#s of fish.

Come'on guys...step up and donate some fish to a good cause. I promise you'll catch more.

AND if you can't CATCH MORE, well then I guess I will have to bring you some from BAJA.

Thank you veterans!
 

On this veterans day i pledge to supply more fish to HOW!

Thank you veterans for fighting for our freedoms.

Team SEWER is the best. Always stepping up to lead the way. (plus they will do anything to go fishing) Thanks Ful-rac.

I think lobster tacos would be a nice change next event :D

Bring the bugs and I will cook them.

Folks I just updated the original post as I will no longer be able to receive the fish for HOW due to relocation away form San Diego next month. Thank you to those that did bring fish here to have donated- it was very appreciated.

For folks that do wan to donate please contact the HOW leadership team to coordinate with them.

Thanks!

Nice feeesh Tony. Was that from the sewer?

If you have to know.....yes!

Nice job Tony, we are trying for an even bigger turnout for our next event on 10 Janurary. Your donation is heaven sent. Thank you once again.

ROCK & ROLL TONY! Another awesome haul for a great cause.

Mo' fish for HOW

I GOT FISH
 

I have 5 lbs of Hali , 5 lbs of tuna live in ontario. Your welcome to take it. I will have more soon.

Next time you go shoot me an invite, I will give you all my fish to donate:luxhello:

Added another 6 pounds of filet today of Excellent quality fish! You guys know what it looks like.

So I have approximately 22 pounds of Halibut fillets for HOW. Matt if your reading this let me know if you need my fish or not for next weeks event.

HOW goes through 20-30lbs of fish per event and we host 9 events per year. Thanks to gracious donations from people on this board such as Tony "Ful-Rac" and others like Tommy Gomes at Catalina Offshore Products we have been lucky enough not to have to buy fish.

However the freezer for HOW is running very low. We have enough fish for our event 2/28 but after that we are completely empty. Without continued support and donations from the community we will be serving HOTDOGS!!!

Please Help in anyway you can. Even 5# makes a difference.

Was in a bottom fishing tournament yesterday and have processed 6lbs of rockfish to donate. Message me

Got a nice YT and Halibut for HOW, ready to go. Hit me up when u want it;)
Collars are for me, sorry.

Hell yeah!

I'm going to be at LJ on Saturday for the Rockfish event. Are you going to be around I can grab it from you then?

Yep, I can bring it then for you if you want. It is frozen though so I would bring ice. Otherwise I can drop it off after the event or another time. Just let me know.

Couple of questions.....

Where would I be able to donate if I am in the SFV area?

Next time I fish LJ, and catch more than I need, is it possible to drop it off (whole) with someone on the way back up to my area?
