Shhh... don’t tell anybody. Shelter Cove is a really cool place to go fishing. I know I have shared this secret place with you before and before too long I probably will have to fight the hordes of anglers to get out to the fishing grounds, but fishermen are notoriously bad secret keepers so I am not going to even try.

When preparing for any fishing trip, there are a lot of things to consider. In fact, the success of most fishing trips is 90 percent dependent on preparation before you even get to the water. And, of course, one of the most critical decisions made is based on the weather conditions, especially when headed out on the ocean. Today’s fisherman has so many advantages with the Internet and modern day technology when it comes to forecasting but there is really nothing that can substitute real-time first-hand observations from where you want to go.

Blame Sally is a San Francisco folk-rock quartet with an attitude, combining acoustic textures with Americana harmonies and an independent spirit. In 2011, Blame Sally rose from “Bay Area phenom” (Santa Cruz Sentinel) to “a remarkable success story” (San Luis Obispo New Times) with the release of “Speeding Ticket and A Valentine,” which won Alternate Root Magazine’s People’s Choice Award for “Best Album of the Year.” The CD’s “sensual vocal blend and ... agile instrumental prowess” (Blurt) earned them two sold-out shows at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, NPR’s Song of the Day and an appearance with John Oates on Mountain Stage.
