Did you take a picture? The golem mussel adheres to surfaces. I doubt you could pull if free with a line but I could be wrong What you describe I have done many times but they are fresh water clams. If you observe a freshwater clam you will see they open partially and if anything touches them they ...

Looking around at low tide is all you have to do. The locations reported state a surface survey was used for detection. You should be able to go to any location noted and see the mysterious GM. The Calaveras river sighting notes 1,000 GM's discovered by sighting survey. Yet the picture shows 3 muss...

First I want say that I’m all for doing our due diligence to prevent the spread of invasive species. Recently several people I know were randomly stopped while driving so the DFW could inspect their boat. What are our rights? What are the consequences if a boat fails? What are the consequences if w...

Great investigative reporting, Mark. Jiggin will be along shortly to add that because Lake Eastman isn’t affected, everyone just needs to get over it. Thanks but not much investigating..just a couple pictures and some thoughts. I would have thought Jiggins would be commenting on 7 fish...lol. Now b...

Here is another picture from a ways back and you can see with all the reflections and stuff on the other side of the bridge the walk way/cable is hard to see. You can go through and under the bridge to the left as this bridge has two cross under areas but you got to zig zag around pilings and stuff....

Congrats on the win brother and really close call on your part. I just rewatched the collision. You were definitely going way faster than 5 mph coming off pad. Super lucky you weren’t seriously injured. Seems like whoever is working on the bridge in honker cut is negligent for not posting a bunch o...

Doesnt matter what tournament organization says. Technically, state regulations are 5. I think your right, Tony M .....5 if there is only one angler in the boat.... now if there are 2 anglers, they legally can have 10 "unless" stated in the tournament rules that you must cull after catchi...

How about show me that they are actually here. We had a report of some divers that claimed they saw them in the port of Stockton. Then we have two or three reports that claimed that some mysterious boat that was berthed in the delta that tried to launch at a couple lakes that are doing inspections....

A few days ago I was speaking with someone that is knowledgeable on the golden mussel issue. They told me something very obvious when you see what is happening to our freedom. There is 0.0% interest in preserving opportunity for recreation boaters. None Zip Nada. Keeping the mussels out of the wate...

Tunnels? No worries............. The mussels WILL jam/clog hundreds of tunnel miles and there's no way of keeping them out. Essentially, the tunnels are a breeding ground for these invasive species. This is too big of a job for Roto -Rooter. It's a matter of time and the billions spent on tunnel in...

Don't think this logic helps. True, the "Delta Tunnel" will capture supposedly clean water closer to Sacramento. It gets transported South "via the Tunnel" to Clifton Court Forebay where it is co-mingled with Delta water ..... before it gets shipped South via Delta Mendota Canal...

stickbait

Pretty sure I read they had been found in San Luis Reservoir and section of the canal down in that area of Central California . I think they want to start the tunnel(s) close to Sacramento to tap the cleaner water way upstream of the Delta so they don't have to export the poor quality Mussell infes...

Got to thinking these mussels might have just shut down this whole twin tunnel program for old Newsom. No way are the people of the south going to want them shipped into the southern water ways via the tunnels... what ya all think? Maybe their whole mussel scare program just derailed everything.

Why can’t they use mussel sniffing dogs like they do @ Lake Sonoma and it would save us Fishermen a whole lotta down time? This is getting ridiculous! i believe it’s more about stopping the transfer of the mussel larva which is micro… a big wad of mussels hanging off someone’s transome would be to ...

Anglers press pro teams... took 22 to win weights were on the low side But the pay back was great with 36 boats paid $4000 to the winner. Checked the math-less than 80% pay back which is hardly great for all the sponsors they have- Paying 10 spots on a 36 boat field..... Nobody pays 1....in 3.6

According to that link the golden mussel lives to about 10 meters deep. 30 feet or so ? Every year they draw the water down in all the lakes by that much or more. Won’t that kill them and keep them under control? yes but what about marinas, docks, houseboats, other slipped boats, buoy lines, floati...

They won’t close the delta to big to close and way to many boats out there...but I wonder if you are going to have your boats inspected or quarantined... or are they just going to let people transport these mussels on their boats from the delta and hope to stop them at the lakes... lots of lakes in...

So the state had 20 years to enact a program for commercial inspection, failed to do so but quickly put restrictions on recreational boaters access the public waters. Also too they didnt "sneak in" they hitchhiked and the entity responsible for monitoring hitchhikers didnt catch them. Wha...
