Re: Boat trailer almost free !!!!!

Email sent. Good timing as my axle broke and the spindle is welded to the axle now trying to get the boat home. Going to be heading to the Fred Hall Long Beach show so I'll be in town and would love to take it off your hands. Thanks.

How does the certificate work? If I buy this off you are there any additional fees or taxes that I would have to pay? Can you scan the terms/conditions listed on the back of the certificate?

Is it a 188 vs or 185 vs? Are you sure about the year? I didn't think they made the 188 vs until 2006. Do you have more pics you can send especially of the outboard? Where are you located?

I heard Johnny Morris was concerned about Ranger boat sales dipping on the west coast, bought up a bunch of clouds from Springfield, MO and had them shipped to Hawaii overnight via FedEx. That's why they called it the Pineapple Express.

Re: best cheap fluoro

Rather than using a cheaper product I found you're better off buying in bulk when it's on sale. I used to use Yozuri Hybrid Clear and was a big fan, but ran into a few bad spools from line that was sitting on the shelf too long. I've since switched over to using P-Line 100% Flourocarbon and buy the ...

Short term, nothing is going to change. Long term will take some time to figure out but doubt you'll see anything in the next 12-18 months.

How do you fish the McSpins? I've never had much luck with them and would like to know more. Any pics of what was working or your gear setup? Probably would work great at Pleasant for the stripers right about now too.

Perfectly legal Bryan. This loophole brought to you by true yacht and sport fisher owners, who take possession in Cabo, berth for a couple of months to establish "residency", and skip out on paying their taxes, so the rest of us have to pick up the slack. If you live in this state, and us...

Re: Barriers Going in the Delta

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they put this same barrier up when the levee broke in 2004? It was a minor inconvenience for fisherman but wasn't insurmountable. If anything it actually made a few areas fish a little better due to slack current in False River.

Out of curiosity how much are they charging you for the luxury tax each year? I wonder if it's worth registering your boat and trailer in AZ while keeping it in CA. When I bought my last boat (2000 Cobra 201) off a guy in So Cal the boat/trailer were registered in AZ but the guy lived in CA. He said...
