A group of Vacaville area fishermen took The Reporter with them on a summer fishing trip aboard the California Dawn, from the Berkeley Marina to the San Francisco Bay. In front is Capt. James Smith, with his yellow lab, Candy. In back (from left) are Jim Garvey of Vacaville; Rudy Palacios of Vacville; Jim Folsom of Dixon; Jake Krezman of Davis, Tim Palacios of Vacaville; Eric Strobach of Vacaville and Gary Patterson of Valley Springs. The 26 anglers aboard caught 40 halibut, 30 stripers, 1 leopard shark and 6 rockfish. The biggest halibut weighed 22 pounds and the biggest striper, 18. This was a special California Sportsmen/California Dawn trip, arranged by California Sportsmen radio host (KHTK 1140 AM) Sep Hendrickson of Vacaville. Was the newspaper used as a fish wrap? No.
