[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3][#002850]Well, the Salsa Boyz party at Strawberry is just around the corner … Saturday, October 3rd. So I’d like to post some details about it here.
The object of the party is pretty simple … friends, food, and fishing.
Here is the basic plan: Launch at Renegade ramp sometime in the morning and fish all morning. Then, at around 11:30, meet together for lunch out on the lake somewhere in the bay west of the Renegade ramp. We just tie the boats up the boats together, see who has been catching what, pass the food, and shoot the bull.
I plan to leave home around 3:00 AM and be fishing in the dark around 6:00. I always like to get in on the early bite.
The event is neither a tournament nor a competition. Everyone and anyone is invited. There is no charge (other than your own licenses and parking).
If I remember right, there is a wind that comes up every day out there at about 11:00. I think that the place marked on the map below should be out of the wind. For those of you in float tubes or kick boats, you may want to hitch a ride with someone in a boat to join us for lunch.

What’s for lunch? What ever you bring to share. Past years, we have had things like salsa and chips (a staple at this event), chili, veggies and dip, salami, little smokies, hot bread and jam, clam chowder, smoked fish, deserts, 3-layer dip, pickled peppers, cheese, and on and on … Just bring some to share.
If you have some of those boat fender bumpers, bring them along. They come in handy when tying the boats together.
If you are bringing a hot dish to share, like chilly or chowder, be sure to bring some bowls and spoons.
Directions to the Renegade ramp: From Heber, take US-40 south-east for about 22 miles to the turnoff to the reservoir (Strawberry Rd.). As you travel down Strawberry Rd., you will come to a fork in the road. Don’t go left (to the main Strawberry marina). At the fork, go right. You will continue to wind and snake your way around the west then south side of the lake until you come to the end of the pavement. The end of the pavement is the Renegade marina. The total distance from leaving highway 40 to the Renegade marina is about 14 miles. The Renegade marina has a good cement ramp and a large parking lot.

T-shirts commemorating the party are available. If you would like one, contact myself or Wiperhunter2 to reserve one. But hurry because we have to have our order in by Sep. 28th. Here is what the print will look like:

If any of you would like a copy of some notes I put together about fall fishing the Berry, let me know in a PM and I will send you a copy.
Question: Does anyone know what, if anything, it costs to park at the Renegade ramp?
I am pretty curious about how many will be showing up. So who all will be coming and what do you plan to bring to share for eats?
I tried to cover everything here but if I may have missed something, feel free to post up any questions you might have.
