Everything in Contra Costa County is open.

Mike, what if the County line runs down the middle of the river?

They are worried about the levees with the high water and Victoria has wake and surf boats destroying them all time but with the water up higher than usual they are concerned about the structure of the Delta system. Let's hope the anglers down there obey it or it will close all together. I am sure ...

Having to dredge silt is a small price to pay for more water.

mark poulson

Glad I could help.
It is a little odd to navigate at first, but, then again, a smart phone is a struggle for me.

Attn. CA Delta! Bend over and back up!

"It is clear that the State of California is unable and unwilling to protect the Bay-Delta ecosystem, and the thousands of jobs and communities that depend on its health. It’s time for the federal government to once again intervene to protect the Bay-Delta, before it’s too late."

Amen!

The rape of the Delta.

California Largemouth bass were transplanted from Minnesota in 1890. Pure Florida strain Largemouth were introduced by Orville Ball from Cypress Springs Florida to ponds where lake Miramar is now located in 1959. The FLMB raised in the ponds were transferred to Upper Otay lake then transplanted int...

In 2009, Mike Iljin caught an 12.76lb Northern Largemouth from Lake Pyramid, at the top of the Grapevine in SoCal.
I had to dig out the photo to get it straight.

Kelly, I'm surprised they didn't blame all this on the Quagga mussel again.

I'm sure someone on the water board is making money from this.

mark poulson

Nice!

Can you fish the stone fence just south of the water tower?

mark poulson

I think, no matter who is in charge, climate change and global warming are real, and, unless we address them here in NorCal, we will lose the Delta.
I, for one, am glad these folks are on our side. They care about the Delta.

Disagree all you want these government agencies here in Ca. Could give a rats a## about what the people of this state think.That's way they have the power they do. Ca in the toilet End of story.

Is that a through line jig, like for punching?

There really nothing to complain about that i can see. There just going to ignore any problems so they better get use it. It's a dead subject move on. I don't agree that its a dead subject. As fishermen and women, we all need to pay attention to what our own State Govt. is doing, or not doing, to p...

I don't understand your post. Please explain it to me.

How about hiring Big Oil to pump water from the Mississippi to Lake Powell, as long as we don't let the control the water itself. They found a way to pump oil across Alaska, back in the '70s.

mark poulson

Since you're in Livermore, call Boatmasters and ask them who they recommend.

mark poulson

Good for them!

Damn!

coyote268 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 10:23 pm Very simple, LA is where the most votes are. Newsome could care less about the Delta when he can secure the Southern California votes by shipping the water south.

I thought 90% of the water went to the San Joaquin Valley water districts, and only 10% went to LA.

mark poulson

Where are they getting all this water they want to ship south? We're in a drought, and whatever water we have needs to stay up here, to replenish our own aquifers.

mark poulson

Thanks guys for the replies. I'll check them out. I stopped drinking, but I bet I have some old corks in the garage somewhere.

mark poulson

Does anyone here know of an eyeglass lanyard with a built-in float, to keep my sunglasses from sinking?

mark poulson

Smart!

I rub some paraffin wax on my seat post shafts, and they don't stick.

I was hoping someone would recognize what part of the Delta that was.

Where was that picture taken?

People still do a modified doodle by shaking their drop shot, or an actual shaky head.
