Re: Rod Racks for '85 Ranger 370V

I have an '84 Ranger 395V. I hate to admit how many rods I stuff in the lockers. I use rod covers and they work great. If you put any type of rack in the lockers you will limit the number of rods.

Re: going to powell for very first tyme

We were there a couple of weeks ago. Be careful when fishing near the sheer canyon walls which are all over the place. A couple of boaters were killed while we were there when a 250' sheet of sandstone fell onto their boat. I'm serious!! It was our first time there also. Fishing was fair.

Nothing to do with salinity. See http://www.pagophilus.org./harbour.html. I might guess the seals and sea lions have overpopulated San Francisco Bay and they are expanding their range for forage. Wait til they find out how easy it is to catch black bass compared to various salt water species.
