Bob,

Your web site is great, a lot of good information, it should do real well,
and I like the section on Oceanside since that's where I fish out of most of
the time. Couldn't get out last weekend, maybe next weekend if fishing holds up.

Talk to you soon.

Bob the new site is great... !

I will subscribe.. Suggestion is it possible to include a visual aid? Like a
chart with red dots or something? Maybe a screen shot of the computer chart that you use. It would be great!

I am going back down to the Coral Marina next weekend fishing my 32 Blackfin "Black Jack" and will talk to you before I go!

Thanks

Bob,
Your new website looks great and I'm really excited about being able to access your reports by pc. Owning a gas boat, your reports have saved me many fuel dollars over the past few years and have consistently put me in the HBZ. Let me know as soon as you decide what the service is going to cost - I can't afford to not sign up.

Bob,

Congratulations on your new website. I have been a telephone subscriber for quite sometime.

I like the picture of you and your dog. I often take my chocolate lab Coco offshore
fishing.

Congratulations on the new web site. It looks like a real winner. Unlike the other fishing Web Sites, from 976BITE anglers will be able to get same day information. My first advice to any angler is to find out where the fish are and spend your time there. Over the past few years the information I have received from you has not only put me on the fish, but has put me in position to do very well in competition. In the Tuna Challenge as well as the ILTT Marlin Tournament you have given me information to put me in the winners circle repeatedly.
Your network of top skippers generates the best, most timely, and most reliable information available in San Diego. Keep up the good work!

Bob:
     I've been fishing the San Diego offshore waters for about 30 years now and for some reason I've gotten a lot better at it recently. Of course, I would like to think this new success is do to the skills of the Skipper and crew or even the 'new' boat. However, the real reason for the success is that I now have good information on where fish were caught in the 24hours before I leave the dock. This information from 976 bite was just not available to private boaters in the past. Your service provides two keys to good, safe fishing: 

     1: The WEATHER. There are many sources for information about marine weather but none are as accurate or as helpful as information from boaters who are at the location you plan to fish. Indeed NOAA, buoy reports , the swell model and other resources are frequently misleading for trips to the waters west of Ensenada. 

     2: FISH Location. I tend to plot the location of fish obtained from 976 bite for several days before I actually fish (often on SST maps). This gives me an idea of fish movement as well as the relationship to surface temperature. If our recent successes are any indication this seems to work pretty well.


Keep up the good work and I look forward to using your web page
