I've caught many salmon but the sea lions nail your fish leaving only the head when you finally pull it in. If there's a seal in the area your chance of landing a salmon is next to impossible. Lots of memories.<br /> Ralph Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305894333304660639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356810570417598585.post-49770638468075489652015-06-09T06:57:41.778-07:002015-06-09T06:57:41.778-07:00Thanks for the memories Ralph.

Caught many a reasonable sized salmon that way. They eventually stopped that and you had to go out of moss landing or Monterey Harbor. Still great memories. Your passion is calamari mine is abalone!Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382287257942302447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356810570417598585.post-64010799657621299362015-06-08T20:01:01.255-07:002015-06-08T20:01:01.255-07:00Ed - the thing I like about Aldos is that you eat ...Ed - the thing I like about Aldos is that you eat outside next to the harbor, where I used to go in and out of on the old fishing boat owned by Steve Carmichael and Glen Dennee. It was an almost weekly ritual. I caught a shark on my last trip on that boat. I also tossed my cookies overboard on that boat, as I mentioned in the post.Ralph Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305894333304660639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356810570417598585.post-59055739396690162922015-06-08T19:57:56.629-07:002015-06-08T19:57:56.629-07:00We were between Graeagle and Greenhorn Ranch when ...We were between Graeagle and Greenhorn Ranch when he crossed the road in front of us. Re: the horse race - Gayle is really into horses and spent most of the day watching the preliminary stuff including the race. We owned a former racehorse. She was a great animal. We had another thoroughbred mix. This one was tougher to handle and wasn't hot on trail riding, so I had to try to stay on her.

About 2 years ago they closed the retail side, where you could buy fish or chicken. Lobster, as well. They continue serving food in the same building on Race Street. <br /><br />They had another outlet on Union Avenue, but it closed several years ago.<br /><br />Nothing better than Aldo's!Ed Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414029937960785025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356810570417598585.post-68623620848365361742015-06-08T18:25:44.263-07:002015-06-08T18:25:44.263-07:00Glad to hear about others glued to the TV to watch...Glad to hear about others glued to the TV to watch American Pharoah...
