I have a Rapala 15 lb. and it is junk

Steve1257

Actually Guyle,A volume of 1 fluid ounce of water = a dry weight of 1.043 ounce

Steve1257

1 oz. of water weighs about 1 oz. Think of 1 shotglass retained by 5 fish and or bag. Makes you want to keep those fish soaked as long as possible.

Steve1257

The point I was trying to make is that a lot of qualifiers live close to bbl and will get a lot more prefishing in compared to the southern guys because of the distance.I just thought that might decrease the already low turnouts down south,that's all. Tom stated today that all qualifiers will get $1...

Steve1257

I just think the regional should be somewhere in the center of the locals to draw more anglers in-that's all.More participation means more money for you at Clear Lake.Maybe I'm wrong so I put it to a poll.Anything wrong with that? A couple of local events drew only 36% full fields.

Steve1257

I think travel distance is very important.

Steve1257

The fact that qualifiers get the $1000 even if they don't fish Clear Lake has to be HUGE! If that were known earlier I'll bet you would have had much more participation down south. Next year you could probably double the entry and payouts and still fill the locals this way. $2000 for making the top ...

Steve1257

With the low participation in the So-Cal local events will the regional top 10 qualifiers still get $1000 at Clear Lake? Also do they get the $1000 even if they cannot make it to Clear Lake?I think if that were the case and the regional lake was fair to everyone the local events would fill up, and i...

Steve1257

Will this help fill the El Capitan event?Seems like Hodges was the logical and midway choice between Otay and Perris for angler travel and prefish.

I have a 310 that was handed down to me with the bag and box.Price is marked $12.50 on the box and Langley corp. was in San Diego.It's in good condition with old black braid on it.I never used it.

Found a ride-Thanks

Steve1257

I have a pass but no boat now.Saturday is last day for passholders only.Looking for an open backseat and will take care of all fees and some gas money.PM or "ranchosteve@yahoo.com".

Steve1257

Will boats wet from the rain pass inspection?If not will they be able to launch if inspected and tagged while dry earlier in the week?Supposed to be dry Tues. and Wed. I think

Steve1257

Probably best to call before driving all the way there if you want to buy a pass.I got my info from one of the girls at the office but I didn't ask about buying one today.I still have my old pass.

Steve1257

It will be $25 per day for 2 people to launch and fish. Was $19 before.Not that much daily but the pass will double.Was $225 per year.

Steve1257

I was at the lake today and will post some ramp photos in the fishing photos section.The water is rising fast-4 inches per day.The ramp is at least 10 feet in the water now.The girl in the store said the fee will be increased $6 more for launching.Yearly pass $350.00 if purchased before 11-30-09 and...

I had an idea to use a broken outboard.Remove the powerhead and adapt a forklift motor from ebay.Would need a bunch of batteries though.

I posted a photo taken 10-10-09 in the fishing photos section

Steve1257

I shot those photos yesterday but couldn't post them so I asked Brian to do so.There are around 100 of the sections plus a huge pile of dg type material that could be used for base material.

Steve1257

Remember also there are around 100 0f the preformed rectangular ramp sections right next to the parking lot.There is a hill of DG type fill material too.The grade is already there as you can see.The story I heard was the lake filled so fast when it opened there was no time to install these.There is ...

Steve1257

I had exactly the same thing happen with my T109p.Water got inside and ruined the control modual.I think it is a bad idea to have an expensive component in the lower unit.

Steve1257

I had water in my t109p and it ruined the module inside.You can check by removing the lower long bolt that holds the motor together and tilting it while it is horizontal on the boat.If any water is visible on the bolt or comes out the hole you should get it fixed right away as that module is a bit e...

Steve1257

MWD not have any money? That work would be a drop in a bucket to their bank acct. Next time I'll take some photo's and post them to make things clearer.Most of the cost is already done.

Steve1257

Well,...sort of done.Behind the store at the lake are around 100 preformed interlocking concrete ramp sections.They are approx. 5'x 12'x 8"thick. I figure there are enough to make a 30' x 200' extension right now with just a crane and some light grading.But instead we know they will continue to...

Steve1257

Anyone have any problems?Long wait?Turned away?

Steve1257

Can the boater fish? If so do his fish count? Can a friend ride along?I was at the weigh-in last year and a staff member told me no to the above. Some official rules posted would be good to avoid any misunderstanding.

Steve1257

Do yourself a favor and go to Perris instead.Some good fish being caught on the dam.At Skinner they inspect your boat when you leave for mussels then tell you to stay off other water for 5 days.The place is boring and you have to go slow all over that little lake.

Steve1257

They turned everyone around today for blue-stoning till 1 o'clock.They don't care about anyone or how much time and gas we waste.The staff there is useless.No notice of anykind.

Steve1257

I was told at the gate today there will be no refund. The Pass will be extended when the lake re-opens?

Steve1257

Seems some money was found to run a skiploader,3 dump trucks,and a water truck the last couple of days. They were used to widen and improve the dirt road down to the water by the east dam.

Steve1257

Qwagga free Silverwood water is easily transfered to DVL.Shows you what is really happening.They want it closed.

Steve1257

All the delivery systems won't do much good if a Judge won't let the water flow south from the Delta.Rainfall runoff will do almost nothing for this lake and quagga river water is out.Untill Delta water is made available in large amounts I think we will just have to live with low water levels.

Steve1257

Might be a problem for the public to get their boats out by 6:30 unless launch line lets them pass.

Steve1257

Bill,You have a pm.

Steve1257

The gap between the ramp and the blocks needs to be filled with rock again. Same goes for the hollow spaces in the blocks.This could be done in one day and will greatly improve the safety of the ramp.Everyone is still paying full price to use it and deserve better.

Steve1257

That sounds reasonable Oldschool.Most of the really sad looking fish I catch are around 4.5 but have heads like 6's or 7's.Some are so bad off I'm sure they are going to die.The shorts and smallies seem to be ok.I liked catching them deep in the Winter but I'll stay above 35' now.

Steve1257

Launching and especially retrieving is going to be a slow process.Some lighting would be a great help as the blocks have holes in them and there are things there ready to break someones ankle.I would advise coming in early to avoid a long wait.

Steve1257

The ramp end was about waist deep this morning.By the end of the day the staff had switched docks with the rental boats.Now private boats launch on the bricks.The best area looks to be in the center.I loaded my boat there with no problems.The side by the old rental dock has a crater and I would avoi...

Steve1257

Hi Ron,I would be happy to take you out on DVL as I am there about every other day.Don't think I can accept any expense money though or be accused by a few as "guiding" without a license.

Steve1257

I got a lot of responses and found a partner right away.Sorry to the other guys.Thanks for all the interest.Steve

Steve1257

There are no off-limits or memberships required for any remaining night events this year right?

Steve1257

I am looking for a non-boater to fish with this sat. night.I plan on getting in the basic entry and big fish option only so cost is around $100 each.Send a pm if interested.

Steve1257

What is the breakdown on the DVL night fees.

Steve1257

Fished there today.Walk out on the dock about 20 feet and look down-no more ramp. Just mud and rocks.

Steve1257

Hey Kelly,Plenty of shops hiring in North San Diego county.Lots of OT at my shop in Escondido too. 3000 sf. repo houses for under 300k 15 miles from DVL in Murrieta and Winchester. If you want to relocate, the company I work for is always looking for good machinists.

Steve1257

My offer is for someone who thinks it may be to their advantage to have me there rather than go solo.Maybe someone not familiar with night fishing or DVL.There is no money in it for me if we do well.Did you miss that part?.Also I'll pay the lake fees,permits,and some gas money just like any other ti...
