Wow! Beautiful job.

The Bigger Picture with MWD buying those islands are just to develop that is a small if any significance. Buy purchasing the land it entitles them to water rights - thats the $$$ Ill make a bigger prediction that they end up declaring some of those islands as "restored habitat" and market...

Be sure to use stranded copper wire, not solid and not aluminum. Electricity travels on the surface of a wire, and stranded has a lot more surface, plus it is much less prone to metal fatigue breakage from vibration.

I think "We Won - Twin Tunnels End" is a shallow victory. The construction of one "smaller" tunnel is going to have the same catastrophic impact on the Delta during construction. The reduced water flow from the Sacramento River for a single tunnel is still a problem. The good ne...

You gotta wonder who is going to make money off of this?

The carpet iin my Ranger is still ok, but its getting older and in a year or two will need to be replaced. I'm going to consider this product over carpet. Just another idea. I have no idea the price comparison with carpet either - it may be way more expensive. http://www.seadek.com/default.aspx I w...

That beats zero inches, which is what was in Franks last week.

Yah it was definitely cleaner than last week but Im sure this system is going to churn it up again!

I agree.

Me, too. Same time frame, same results, or lack thereof.

mark poulson

I would call around to local boat repair shops that install TMs, and ask them. You can't be the only one with that issue.

mark poulson

Thanks for sharing a bad day, too. That cold, muddy water is tough.

Funny how the salmon decline parallels the taking of Delta water. The more water that is diverted to the San Joaquin farmers, the lower the salmon numbers. It's not rocket science. Mark, your dead wrong. Ask Jerry..... You know I'm messing with ya, couldn't agree with you more. Also, I feel that th...

Remember that the inside of the hull is not finished, so check first, and tape over sharp edges and rough spots.
I didn't, and my forearms looked like I tried to give my cat an enema.

Easy answer here. The Vexus hull have a true pad running surface. Vexus has designed a process to bend the aluminum used at the bottom of the hull to create that pad. What may not be noticeable at first is the Vexus has “stretched-formed gunnels” which allows them to stretch the hull and gunnels al...

Good looking aluminum boats, very well laid out ..... when are they going to introduce glass boats ? Out of curiosity, I priced the 2080 on their site. 20'-2 boat (200 ProXS V8 4s) with Ultrex + PP + Lowrance is over $51k Glass models will be unveiled on day 1 of the Bassmaster Classic. Roughly 47 ...

Yup so essentially the person you sent the message to has NOT viewed it yet.

Can the sender just delete the older ones, to free up space?

PIZZ Customs. Tom Tried them on three different occasions. While the end product is above average, the service is really horrible. Last time my baits were "drying" for 3 weeks. That is the trade off when you use a custom painter. They don't mass produce, so each bait takes time, and, if t...

I keep all my store bought plastics in their original bags, and store the bags in either gallon zip lock bags or the 3731 Plano boxes, sorted by type of bait and labeled on the top and the front edge.

For the price, I go with used fiberglass bass boat in good condition.

Why?

Notice how he wet the deck to protect the fish's slime coat.

I use 65lb braid because it is a relatively heavy lure, and I don't want it to snap off on the cast.
Monkey Butt is a great color. So are black and white.

Tom, Somehow the pendulum got swung so far to the restore the environment side of the whole environmental question that those kind of paper-smart proposals actually got implemented, without any regard to the actual consequences for people who live here now. But Casitas was built for people, not for ...

The Casitas dam wasn't biult to be a sanctuary zone, it was built to be a water storage reservior for the folks living in Ventura. It's primary function is to store water, public recreation helps to fund it's operation. The folks running the board now believe the dam is in the way for steelhead mig...

Kelly, You clearly know a lot more than I about the more recent history of our fisheries. I was strictly a trout and jetty/surf fishing guy back in the 50s, and didn't even fish for bass until 2000. I hear your frustration. It goes deep, because you remember what things were like, way back when. The...

Mark, if you think a Republican born and raised in California has any illusions in his mind as to what his elected officials in this state have to offer you are sadly mistaken. :shock: Remember this my friend.

Kelly, you will never get scientifically sound decisions from an elected water board, only what is politically correct, and won't reflect badly on the member as they run for office again.

mark poulson

The river should have plenty of water without taking it from Casitas' watershed, since Castaic is required by law to release any rain water it receives from it's watershed.

Switch to Humminbird/Minn kota. They are the same company, so they work together.

I was told, long ago, that the tow vehicle should out weigh whatever it's towing by at least 50%, so the tail doesn't wag the dog when braking.

Don't use a rod with micro guides for a braid to leader setup. The knot will catch, either ruining your cast or breaking off your bait.

Funny, I am one of the few Native Californian's born and raised in SoCal and moved to NorCal 14-15 yrs ago. The difference between the two halves of the state are very real and very distinct.
