Sea lion's can grow up to 1600 lbs. The average ones we see in the Delta are 400-500lbs. To sustain their weight they must eat 5-8% of their body weight per day. 500 lbs sea lion = 40 lbs of fish per day ( that's better than cooch's jig) Just like any other animal the must be managed effectively or ...

Re: Anyone towing a boat with one of these

Your gas mileage is not going to be very good if you lift the jeep and put oversized tires on it. Maybe 12-14 miles/gal on the highway down hill with a tail wind.

I also use a 6 cyl to pull my 19' G3 from time to time. It does fine but its' much much easier with my v8.

Go to any local wal-mart and they should have a good map of the delta.

As far as learning the delta and bass fishing, go with a guide. They may seem alittle expensive but their knowledge will be well worth it and save you alot of time and money in the long run.
