Check the State Inland Freshwater Record rules. I had them changed to more align with IGFA. This also makes submitting for a record simplified - i.e. you no longer need to have the fish observed by a CDFG official, just clear pictures for positive ID. AND you have thirty days from date of catch to h...

CDFW is placing a certified scale at Bullards Bar, in fact it will be there today 2/28. It will be available at Emerald Cove Marina during their normal business hours. Included with the scale is a highlight of requirements for IGFA certification, but you should review their documentation to ensure n...

So we completed the transaction over the phone and Lindsey said they would ship out that day. Well, today, 8/26 @ 8am I ge...

While not in Northern CA exactly, but close - Sparks, NV. Check out Stout Innovations on facebook. Brad and his daughter do fantastic work. They recently completed a mount of the current CA state record spotted bass.

Do you still have this unit? If so, does it come with power cable and transducer? How much do you want for the unit?

The ISE fish are always returned back to the Delta from where they came from.

They came from Pilot Slough and were retuned there Sunday evening.

Hope ou all get lucky and catch one or two soon,

You couch biologists keep this site entertaining. It is obivous that a couple of you understand how nature works - Cooch :D . Read Cooch's post, he is spot on (pun intended).

Yes these fish do spawn naturally, but their contribution to the lakes sport fishery is thought to be minimal. Therefore, the DFG has a egg collection program on the Little Truckee River (trib. to Lake Stampede) and Taylor Creek (trib. to Lake Tahoe). Eggs taken from these streams provide for the st...

Good question Chris, I did a little more research and found that was reported from an 'Annual' type permit, these are typically issued to clubs.

I took advantage of a similar offer at the Sac ISE show. I when there with the intent of purchasing a 706 CB.

Yes, there will be a kids fishing pond, and I believe a small stream also. The pond and stream will be located in the Youth Fair. They will be stocked with catchable sized rainbow trout and will be all catch and release.

BASS has not received permits for 2010. GW is correct, no permits for 2010 will be issued until July, 2009. The second Friday in July, 2009, to be exact.

A ditto on the Gator Grip bag. This is what BASS is using in their Elite series.

Hello Guy, The question of when you need a permit for a fishing contest (TS, Derby, Pro-Am) is really quite simple. If you are offering prizes or inducements for the taking of game fish then you need a permit . It is that simple. I posted similar information on the Shambre thread earlier in the week...

While fish displayed at the San Mateo show did come from the Ladd's Marina slough, the largest fish in the tank at the Sac show DID NOT come from Ladd's.

Yes, the fish were caught with POWER bait.

The DFG code says that if anyone is offering prizes or other inducements for the taking of game fish, then they need to obtain a permit from the DFG. Here is the website for more information.
