I haven't tried Steven's Creek yet, know anything about it? Shadow Cliffs has been so-so for me but I think I have not fished it at the best times of year.
Good luck with the cats, I haven't heard anything at all about Margarita lately since nobody posts about it and I don't fish it any more. People on the Central Coast, especially the tournament guys are just way tight lipped on everything. Must have been nice to check the reports while I was still down there........
