So reasonable limits on those fish seem much more beneficial than trying to limit technology. Why should they let anglers catch buckets or trash cans full of fish if they’re worried about the resource?

tunaman

How about basing any legislation on actual data, not ‘feelz’, and taking into account fish populations, creel counts, etc???

Good gawd, we are ruled by morons.

tunaman

^^^ Indeed. It would have been his birthday tomorrow.

Har!

C’mon Little Bailey (and the Posse) - still waiting for the sequel to Big Bait Posse!!!

Just watched, and good to see the references to BBP!

Thanks for posting this!!!

tunaman

Miss you buddy… rest in peace. Har!

tunaman

Nice Ken - thanks for the thorough breakdown and taking us along for the ride!

Congrats again!!!
Roger

Way to go Ben - congrats on the new PB and the win!

I happened to watch that episode last night… what a horrible collision, and what a horrible outcome for Brady. He seems to be dealing with it far better than many would. I don’t fully understand how it could have happened… certainly seems like they were traveling faster than the conditions allowed f...

tunaman

And one other thing… Big Bait Posse still rocks!!! Still waiting for the sequel

Watched it not long ago… glad to see it is available on YT, although I still have my DVD copy! Need to get the boys to sign it one day.

tunaman

…and say what you will, I believe the comments about Mike weren’t all that far off. Pretty sure he still caught a ton of big fish back in the day, regardless whether scruples were applied.

Good read about the rest of the sticks… most of ‘em are still top class!

tunaman

Holy necro thread Batman!

tunaman

Awesome job Ken - very impressive performance. Congratulations on getting the MLF title!

ALWAYS pull far enough up the ramp to square the vehicle and trailer before backing down. Put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel when backing - that way you can turn it in the same direction you wish to turn. NEVER try to save it… best to always pull forward a couple of times to square, i...

Interestingly, I just watched this video from Russ today - I believe it was filmed yesterday:

tunaman

Looks like my old pond is fishing pretty tough right now!

tunaman

Good to see him on the stage… hadn’t seen him since I moved from the Delta. Glad to see he is still doing well and kicking butt.

tunaman

Glad to read that, and hoping that they can’t find a quick and easy workaround to get past the court’s decision.

tunaman

Definitely want to go at least 12”, IMHO. I am running two HDS Live 12’s at the bow, one more or less dedicated to AT2 and the second for SI/DI/360/etc. When I don’t need FFS, I can still use the graph for other purposes as it is connected via Ethernet. I had Anglers (THANKS JORDAN!) add another bat...

tunaman

I miss him and think of him often… I’m thankful for the time I got to spend with him. God rest your soul my brother.

tunaman

I have no words, even 3 days later. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jenny and the entire family, as well as his many friends....oh how you will be missed my friend. Dano Agreed... I feel like I've been in a fog since learning of his passing. I spoke with Jonathan yesterday, and was pleased to hea...

tunaman

I am flabbergasted as I compose this post, as I just learned that Cooch passed away suddenly. He has been a good friend, mentor and fishing partner to me, as well as many here on the board, and the news is just devastating to me. I have a copy of the Facebook posting announcing the news, which I'll ...

tunaman

That was the info I got when mine went out several years ago now.

tunaman

Happy birthday Chuck, with many happy returns! I hope it is the best yet, and that you have another 60 to come! :shock: Damn you're getting old!!! :lol: Better than the alternatives, though, and in reality you're just getting better! Enjoy your day sir - wish I was up there to congratulate you in pe...

Delta Craw Speed Trap is THE go-to!

I used Global Fish Mounts several years ago. I sent them the photos and measurements... They sent back a mount which wasn't even close :evil: Not only was the shape incorrect, they didn't get the coloration or even the eye color right. I complained, and sent it back, and they ended up matching the c...

tunaman

That sucks! Frank's Tract is a pretty big area - you may want to be a bit more specific on where you lost it?

Good luck - hopefully the fishing gods give it back.

tunaman

They're still getting the 100# fish, and they're suffering many casualties due to under gunned gear. They are getting them to go on 50-80#! :shock: Apparently the hot ticket for the big fish is a Shimano Flat Fall jig fished on 60-80#, spooled on a heavy two-speed rig. There are still spots availabl...

Yep... Hop on the Top Gun 80 trip on 5/5 - plenty of spots left right now.

tunaman

Prowler and Pacific Queen have been getting schoolies almost every trip, and picking at the gorillas more often than not. Prowler had two hundred pounders just yesterday. While it's true that the big boats see the real jumbos most years in March, the BFT and allies are not usually in catch range for...

For those interested in the offshore scene, but haven't been paying attention since it is still early, they have been hanging bluefin already out of San Diego! This is the earliest they've shown up in quite a few years, and has now been ongoing for at least a few weeks. The 3/4 day boats (!) are get...

tunaman

Save the heavy punching for later in the year.

Should be a good mix of pre, spawn and post.

tunaman

Lowrance, hands down! I got Humminbird gear when they were the only SI game in town, and I think many here know of my frustration and position on that solution.

Lowrance is proven, hearty, robust, well designed, and will serve your needs for years to come.

tunaman

Great times, a lot of fun, and awesome that you were able to catch the underwater footage.

tunaman

Couldn't ever forget you my friend! I spoke with Rob a week or so ago... Good catching up with him. I was watching some of Dave's YouTube videos just recently... Saw your smiling face too! :D We just moved back to So Cal a year ago, and BD (Brian Day) has succeeded in getting me off my butt and back...

kewl - looks like fun Tony!

BTW - that ain't old school!

^^^ Great advice right there. Start with a club - sounds like Paradise might be just the ticket. Club fishing lets you get your feet wet, meet some fellow anglers, learn the ropes, and have fun and fellowship. Once you're comfortable with that, you can either find a partner and start fishing one of ...

Roy is such a stick! Go get 'em Roy!

tunaman

I use the 9 to 5 knot super easy it's just a Uni to Uni 9 turns on Braid and 5 turns on Mono-Fluoro Been using braid to flouro for many years, and I too love the uni to uni connection. I use it for everything from 8-10# braid to 6-8# flouro for the So Cal finesse bite, to 80# braid to 20-30# flouro...

I finally got the boat back. Apparently Frank purchased and installed a whole new seat assembly, including the new style center console. I'll post photos later tonight.

I have two solid buyers interested, and a third with a backup offer.

tunaman

Finally got good news today - Frank called to let me know that they were able to resolve the issue, got the upholstery, and have finished re-covering the seats. He is going to get it cleaned up for me and I will be picking it up at the end of the week. I will take updated photos and post them this w...

tunaman

Unbelievable - it has been about three months since I took my boat for service, and Frank ordered the replacement upholstery from Ranger at that time. It was finally delivered, and is not correct! Not sure that I care to wait another three months. If someone wants it with the material on order, or s...

tunaman

Cool.. Should be good timing.

tunaman

I finally had a chance to check with Frank (Inland Marine) on the status of my boat, and he indicated that the new seat material is supposed to be delivered on 6/23... had no idea that it would take this long to get this work done. I could have done generic upholstery for far less cost and time, but...

tunaman

Still waiting for the upholstery work to be completed.

tunaman

Sorry folks... Insanely busy, and have had no updates from Inland to this point. I just called, and was told that the upholstery quote is in and awaiting approval, and the a replacement part that I requested to be replaced is on order, so it sounds like it will still be another week or two. Annual s...
