Re: Delta questions
Gotta watch those strippers… never know what they’re carrying! :lol: If the tide was outgoing the entire time, that means you started at or near the top of the tide since the tide swings four times a day. Makes sense that the big fish would have been up when you started… As the tide pulls out, so do...

Re: State agency BAN of forward-facing and 360-degree sonar on the table

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