Re: Started in 1977

WRB great story thank you and now that I have the viper head jigs they definitely work well in and around rock and are catching fish for me.

If you think CA. is that bad you can sell everything and always move.
But you wont because its easier to bitch about what somebody else is doing its a democratic state it well always be one so just move on.
