Hi Guys,

I just wanted to say goodbye to all my friends here on the site, I am leaving California and returning to Illinois after almost 28 years here. I wish you good fishing. Cooch, you are still on for next week in Gilroy.

Hey Johnny,

Prayers have been said, but please don't forget about the firefighters themselves. This is one of the most dangerous things they do and they do it while a lot of their own families are very close by. God bless to you all.

bs-hunter,

We are always trying to guess where a fish was caught, part of the allure to fishing. By the way, for someone who has been on the site for such a short period of time you sure seem to want to stir up a lot of s***. Sit back, relax and keep a tight line.

Already sent!! Just another way for the government to get money from the taxpayer and not show anything for it. Why don't they charge a fee to all these foreign flagged ships just for entering a U.S. port. If they already have a port tax, increase it. Just don't tax the individual boat owners.
