Hmmm...doesn't pass the sniff test.

Suspect BS!

As other have stated, they can't close the track without spend a ton of money.

My guess is it they put it on the list to make anyone who doesn't know sqat about Franks think they are actually doing something....when they know it's a ruse!

I could be wrong!

photon

I don't wear mine. Back when that law was first passed, I did and subsequently lost it a couple of times. I also fly fish, and sometimes I'd forget to transfer if from one vest/hat to another. It's a dumb law, now I keep it in my wallet. Been checked a couple times without issue, once I mention the ...

I've read through the various reports & proposals, and maybe I missed something along the way. What I never saw explained to my satifaction was how exactly these gates were supposed to "improve" anything other than maybe allowing a little less brakish water make it's way into Holland t...

Well, for one, if this initiative makes the June Ballot.......vote No, and urge/educate everyone you know!

There truely is power in the people. Worst thing about this crap is that almost the entire state south of Fresno will vote for it......the thirsty bastards!

Yup, she's still a whore!

At the risk of creating an enemy forever.........oh hell forget it!

Anyone have it?

Thanks

I dunno....when was the last time there was a Republican majority in the Cal. Legislature?

Seems to me, that the bad stuff we've experinced in the last 30+ yrs has been overseen by Dems! Granted, they can/are bought by big $$ interests!

So, who knows?

photon

sucks to have picked D. F. to be in the top ten....like I did! :roll: Oh well, still looking pretty good for my other picks. I seriously doubt that the bigger weights from today will hold up. Rose might just be kicking himself for not conserving after getting that 7#er.....assuming the reports of th...

photon

Yes the above, but if you find that you are only getting dinks with the cranks & blades up shallow......try a deeper running crank or a jig and fish down into the 8-15ft range. Last weekend our better fish were caught with hula grubs on 1/4 to 3./8 oz football heads down 10+ft. Expect a lot of s...

As a Basscat Owner, I can honestly say....you'd probably be happy with either. BUT, I garantee you'll wish you bought a bigger version to begin with.....depending on where you fish, of course!

photon

photon

I maybe way off track here, but I thought I read somewhere that oxygentors and salt water don't behave well together...I think they said that chlorine was generated, and it killed fish. Something to research in case you fish brakish water like the delta in places.

photon

I know this is going to sound condesending....but......it is a DELTA.

That's how it got it's name.

photon

I wish I could understand the thinking here. If you must pass a clean & dry inspection, why ban all boats from SC county or SoCal?

Is this just another example of bureaucratic retardation, or is there an understandable explanation?

photon

From what I've read, the state considers the risk to those lakes as the same as Pardee......very low risk of mussles establishing themselfs due to low calcium concentrations in the water.

But, look how the proprietors of Pardee reacted!

photon

Showed some thing tonight that was missing.....determination!

I hope to hell they keep it up!

photon

IS there an adjustment to my MK Maxxum TM that will reduce the clunking when I let off the switch?

At settings of 50% or higher, the clunking is starting to annoy me a bit.

photon

Ya got that right! I've ranted about this before too. For me it's mainly the fear that I leave it behind if I have it pinned to any peice of clothing. Be it a fishing vest (worn only while fly fishing) or a PFD ( worn only while in the boat) or anything else. I bank fish, I fly fish , I bass fish, I...

.....Imagine if we had to do carp tournies with artificals only!?
We'd all be slinging fly rods in the spring, and.....

assuming we couldn't snag the SOBs!

I can't echo enough how important it is to REMAIN CALM!!!! Don't scoop with the net! Don't rush a hot fish! and for Christs sake....head first, let the catcher lead the fish into the net! Most of the time, I'd rather wear a fish out, and lip/belly land a fish myself than let a nervous netter swoop a...

photon

I've had many similiar experiences, though most are from pleasure boaters not bassers. Most are like they don't realise I'm fishing a point, and cut between me & shore. Even when I try to wave them behind me, most just don't get it! :x Whadyagonnado? Not much you can since it's always someone ne...

This is an interesting read. Shows which state waterways are most vulnerable, and those that, according to the study, are at very low/no risk.

Ya, it's just a joke! But maybe the joke is on us! For instance the reaction of EBMUD district. Did they not know that Pardee is one of the places that the DF&G consider as low/no risk of quagga/zebra mussel colonizations? Not sure if this have been posted before. It's an interesting read. http:...

I've had been having trouble locating Optimax oil in the south bay area, and stumbled into Cope & McPhetres marine service in Santa Clara today, and they had it. I asked if they sold it in bulk, and the guy said they would be willing to if there was enough interest. He said that it was a slow se...

Head out into Franks through the 5 mph area, go straight South staying parellel to the concrete wall until you pass the opening in the wall. Once there, you can head SE. There is 1 duck blind all by itself between there and the Holland entrance......you choose to either go E or W of it.....safest fo...

Hey Chris, how 'bout you doing a seminar.....I'd consider going to that too!

photon

...what was going on in the late 80's. We had this level of activity every couple of months before the 7.1 in '89.

if this happens again in a few weeks to a couple months, then repeats......start to worry. A 5.6 is just fun, for the most part!

Not that I've ever fished Keswick, but I have fished the Sac river below it. Water temeratures never get above 60 degrees year 'round...usually mid 50s because it's bottom fed from Shasta dam. I seriously doubt there is much of a bass population, if any. Same story with Lewiston Res. below Trinity L...

Instead of cutting off navigatable waterways, couldn't they select one of the areas that have 2 parralel sloughs? Like some sections of Holland cut, the sloughs near cruser haven & the railrod tracks, or Victoria slough? That way they can have thier fun and it would'nt effect regular traffic muc...

.....If it was the new world record. No way I'm going to catch it (leagally) and then put up with all the crap if I can't prove it with an actual body.

And please don't harp about removing a good source from the gene pool, that sucker would have had 10+ seasons to contribute!!!

Because of the spread of foreign species into the nations waterways by ocean going cargo vessels, the gov't decides to tax ALL boat(or floats on water craft) owners?

I second that, please be safe. "Real boats" (to borrow your term) can get you in trouble soooooo much faster than our old tin boats could. Oh, and one other thing not to overlook. Since you had a small boat, you paid very close attention to the wind and how you were going to navigate back ...
