Solar Eclipse Effect on Fish
Hi Gents,
Next month there is a Solar Eclipse and I was wondering what your experience is when fishing during a reduction in visibility during a Solar Eclipse.

Re: Tuned
Time for a recalibration bud, get on another body of water that you can tune into. it sounds like Casitas is in a major slump or your losing your hearing and eye sight, which I understand happens with fellas your age

The desalinization is constantly blocked for environmental reasons - plus that doesn't pay the right people who own the aquifers or want access to the water. You're silly to think of logical sound solutions....follow the money

Literally any reel repair place. You can drop it off at fishermans warehouse and they'll send it in to have it repaired. usually takes a few weeks.
