Dear Friends,

As some of you know, I’ve been dealing with ongoing health challenges over the past year, and recovery has been slow.

In late December, I temporarily relocated to avoid construction work at my home and returned late in March. Since then, a significant change has occurred in that my family has decided to sell the home where I’ve lived and worked since the 1970s. I’ll be relocating to Orange County to be closer to my family as I continue to focus on my health.

With this move, I will no longer have access to the exceptional marine radio reception that has allowed me to gather accurate fishing reports from my home-office in Point Loma. As a result, I will be closing 976-Bite Fish Reports after 33 wonderful years.

While this is a difficult decision, I’m incredibly grateful to have spent so many years doing something I love to provide a service to others who share my same passion for fishing. I am praying that God has it in his plans to heal me completely and direct me in new opportunities to be in His service. 

I sincerely thank you for your support, friendship, and loyalty over the years. If anything changes, I’ll be sure to let you know.

Sincerely,

Bob Vanian
