Over 3 miles out is Federal waters not State water rules.

If you have a job where you tippy/tap on a keyboard all day is I would hit the gym and lift weights. Fishing 300 to 600 feet with a 1 to 2 pound weight will cripple you.

Us left-handers are the last minority that doesn't get any perks with our left-hand handicaps. Kidding aside it's better than ever for fishing and hunting gear but when you see a piece of equipment that you really would like and no it's not available in left-hand is disappointing. At least Avet...

Up in Northern California we run in that all the time as long as you don't mind bumping and grinding when you're fishing. One rule I've seen a lot is if the swell is half the size or less than the seconds it's a go if you have boat skills. One year when the salmon bite was on fire took my 21...

Better have $100 bills in your pocket to pay for the ballyhoo.

There's no industry standards that why when I buy a new rod I take a reel with me to the store mount it and see and feel the load when it's tied off to a salesmen. That will tell you more than the rating on the rod.

Piece of shit from China.

Depends. Most people don't know that the thin viscosity reel oil we use can and will evaporate out of the bearings and another places over time like season to season. If I can feel that the reel is acting sluggish before I go on a trip I'll hit it with reel oil. The grease will last much longer...

DEF is for people who can afford new trucks.

I spike first then bleed out less flopping on the deck and it achieves the same goal.

Alibaba is a Commie China equal to Amazon. The Communist government subsidizes the mailing of all packages worldwide for free to drive other countries businesses to close so you have to rely on them. People do you understand that if you don't support your local tackle stores they go out of...

Nope once they're out someone needs to die, no tapbacks.

Is the Costco boots made in China?

Happens all the time. My best on my boat is when a 24 inch ling took a 5 inch swimbait and a 45 inch (38 pound) ling swallowed the 24 inch. When it got to the surface I gaffed them both at the same time. This was up out of Trinidad, Ca where bigger lings live.

Use to get wheel weights by the 5 gallon bucket to cast them up into bullets to load for pistol and rifle matches. Would throw a 1 pound ingot of linotype in a 10 pound pot of wheel weights to sweeten the pot for harder bullets that could be pushed a little faster.

They'll let them go, arrest you for violating their rights to break in and kill you.

More Commie China made crap that we shouldn't buy from the enemy.

Maybe you shouldn't be a pussy and learn to defend your family or self.

Mystic Reel Parts has every part for any reel.

The water in these dams feed water to drink and use in households and electric generation is just a bonus.

They have an invention called oil that can prevent rust IF you take care of them. Harbor Freight is Commie China garbage.

Yeah half of Hollywood would be out of business.

Nope, I never called the wife for dumb suggestions just what time dinner is.

I would recommend heaver test on the sabiki rigs as the sardines are good sized plus most of the time you can load most if not all the hooks. I take 40# main line with 30 # branch lines. If you use 8 to 10 oz weights on them the sardines can't tangle the lines when you load them up. Makes it...

What they've done with us is you have a 50 pound TOTAL weight when you leave Cedros, tackle and fish combined. The more tackle you have the less fish you take home. This is based on 2 trips there.

12 t0 20 surface irons is way too much. Been to Cedros 2 times now and I've never lost one yet I take 6 in mint and blue/white.

Might have been an old wound that was trying to heal like from a sea lion. I've seen a few wounded fish that had spots like that but not as bad as your fish. We just cut the bad part out and it's good to go. Never seen green worms before always been blood to brown color.

Glad to see you in your element.

What problems?

I've been using Fault Line Outdoors "Hook Holsters" for about 15 years on most of my rods with great results.

Glad to see your still around Steve with the Penn forum gone we thought you were put out to pasture as well. You're what the Japanese call a Living Treasure with the fishing community. We've missed you up in Chico every Friday.

There's others that are missing as well would be nice to get an explanation

They're not done you just have to go where they are. Ft. Bragg is where I fish at all summer and the Albacore fishing is great. Usually at the end of August it starts and can go for a couple of months if the conditions are right. When the word gets out for the first run there can be a 100 boats...

Better remember that Bluefin took 100 years to show back up.

Me too on pizza.

Since I come from Italian descent and my ancestors threw people into lion pits just to watch them get eaton alive, what about my heritage? When I get my heritage back then the Indians can have theirs back.

You just didn't have the right shotgun.

Which ones are they?

One day all of us will be joining him get out there while you can.

Wonder if it has White privilege?

Have the same reel and there's no problem casting at all. I do have the magnetic M/C but I have it on the lowest setting. That price is crazy good look it up on Charkbait.com to get an idea what they go for here in Southern Calif where they're made at.

Thanks for that as a new fishery we need all the tips we can get.

Educate us on the throat part that needs to be saved.

That was for the 2022 season. F&W needs to eliminate old reg's online to the present seasons.

Yes you can tell the difference. Go to a tackle shop to get a laminated fish ID chart to carry with you to compare. I keep two types of them on my boat to refer too. As far as your limits download F&W rules on your phone to see what the limits are in your region as they can be different in area's.

Why? They breed and the wind blows and they land where it blows them to. There's not too much of a deep mystery here.

Nothing like giving money to China so they can buy more bullets to kill Americans when we go to war with them in the next 2 years when they invade Taiwan. Fuck China.

Up north at Ft. Bragg we get them once in a while, doesn't seem to be a big deal.

The Mexicans do the same thing here in the US in all the construction trades. Work for cash with no license, insurance and half the time with no drivers license.

A few years ago a lady with her husband fishing north of Shelter Cove caught one around 110 pounds jigging for rockfish in less than a 100 feet of water.

Stay away from Progressive insurance they're harder to get repair money out of than a Chinese Hasidic Jew.

No sense in trying to explain to you as you don't have a grasp on the fundamentals of basic business principles.

Those aren't shopping carts they're homeless RV's

With all the rain maybe the river will rise and sweep the area clean. Bad part is all their shit going down the river.

Obviously you have never owned a business and tried to get people to work. Up in Northern Calif it's the same problem with EVERY type of business. If you have a job that needs drivers 90 percent can't pass the piss in a cup test. All the fast food places have Help Wanted signs up, some of them...

Wardens are bored this time of year with not much happening and looking for things to do.

Better read the rules before you set out that long line rig.

You must have been around 8 to 10 miles out. Will be over at Bragg in June and I'm rigged up to 1500 feet to try. You using a 2 hook rig?

They've been giving away that game for decades

The new generations don't look up anything they just want to be told what they want to know. It's like having a child on your lap telling them a story.

Mr. Carson will be here in a minute to explain.

She was a class act.

If it says a cum can flavor it might.

This post is so old I thought someone on the Mayflower was going to post on it.

Another tip that Danny Wade said in another interview is to wire a surface iron for more action. I did that on some Lady 45's and Starmans and it works. Danny said wiring them was a big deal back in the day.

Last year Squidco had them but most tackle shops I've been to down there seem to have them.

In the Mendocino zone Black cod was listed as rock fish and limited by depth and it was listed that way in the handbook. I even went into the Fish and Wildlife building to ask in Ft. Bragg and was told you couldn't fish for them over the depth limit. The depth limit was changed 3 years ago from...

For all you guy's that say the seat can slip there's a product in the auto supply store called Gasgacinch. It's a rubber like cement that's made for applying to gaskets for oil and waterproofing but can be taken apart with no damage to the gasket material. If you apply a thin coat on the seat...

Every person complaining about the lack of quality on the Penn's YOU ARE THE REASON THAT PENN HAD TO MAKE CHEAPER REELS. Every manufacturer has to listen to what the public will buy and if you read this forum a lot of questions are where can I get a cheap whatever the product. I realize not...

All glasses have to be tested with a .56oz weight that falls 50 inches that hits the center of the lens before they can be sold in the USA. Costa's 580 glass are one of the best for clarity and scratch resistance plus glass is a step above plastic lens.

I have the 100 amp BB battery with the internal heater that you install with a short jumper wire to the positive post when you'll be below 32 degree's. I have the Victron 12/25 charger to keep it charged at home and on the road with a generator. I use it when elk hunting as it gets around 0...

Yeah I agree on the learning curve. Go to Battle Born batteries as they make their batteries in Reno,Nv and have a lot of information. The lithium cells are made in China as most of them are but the safety controls they build in them making the batteries here safe. Unless you have a new motor...

I think this ones called ALL snatch on dick.

Didn't think lithium batteries could be used for starting batteries?

You need to go on youtube and look at Ice Hole Power channel as he tears apart lithium batteries to see if they deliver the claimed AMPS and if there safe to use. Half the cheap made in China garbage ones are dangerous to use. I know you want the info on how big of a battery you need but when...

Does it count if you wear a Banana Hammock thong?

In the Navy I thought it was ALL hands on deck.

We fished the Cove for about 10 years but it started to get like the wild west with the dope growers there. One year when we were going there some scumbag got into an argument with one of the tractor drivers(driver was a nice guy) and they got into a fight. Tractor drive killed the scumbag with...

I was trying for Pacific halibut on the break of the Continental Shelf to try. At the Shelter Cove launch shack they have a picture of a over 200 pound Pacific that was caught on the shelf back in the day. I thought I would try it just to do it. As for keeping the weight on bottom is easy I use...

As well of the fishermen if you took a picture of them today.

I am an old guy but don't find it that bad to reel up from a 1000 feet. I want to try the fishery first before I buy a $1000 dollar electric rig. The only problem I see is from the rockfish opener till the all depths July 16th is it can blow like a bitch where you can't or won't go out 2 miles...

Black cod were under the Rockfish depth rule till this year it was right in the reg's. In Bragg there's a couple of commercial boats that fish them in depths of 800 to 2000 feet deep which starts about 10 miles offshore. I've seen their set buoy's on the way out for albacore at around 10 miles...

You could bring your own

Thought the Coast Guard was supposed to mark hazards like this?

Do you people weld that many rings to justify a spot welder?

Ugly Stix are a great cheaper rod.

Yeah Avet has what they call a Website with all their reels and spec's.

Fuck Apple News.

That's the big thing Tasting Good. I don't care if the fish can be smart enough to take SAT's.

Some of those stat's came from when they surveyed my garage.

It's not wasted, nature has a reason for most things. The South San Fransisco Bay doesn't have any rivers running into it so when it floods like its doing now it cleans it out. If it didn't do that it would stagnate into a dead pool. Our Dungeness crab spawn along with anchovies and others in...

The biggest karma would be getting the shit kicked out of you.

I'm in Northern Calif too and have done the same thing in San Diego with a guest berth. Here's the only and big problem I found in all my inquiries in L.A. and San Diego area's. If they have berth space no problem to rent to you now the problem all marina's I talked to WON'T let you park your...

You'll have to ask the Gay community about that one.

What does she look like?

It's good to have you aboard as fishing techniques from different area's of the world can be applied that can be used at your home fishing waters. In other words we all can steal idea's from each other.

Yeah trading ingredients for Fentanyl for fishing rights. Fuck China the sooner we kill that country the better.

You have the same chance on catching a Bluefin up there as catching a Unicorn. A lot of time and fuel for a maybe.

Charkbait will take care of everything you need as well Squidco.

They're releasing water at Oroville Dam because at the top of the watershed there's up to 600 inches of snow. This storm coming in the next 4 days can rain up to 4 to 5 thousand feet causing a lot of water coming to the lake to catch so it doesn't flood towns. The lakes will be full capacity in...

I've had Penn's for over 50 years and NEVER had a part break while fishing or otherwise. Maybe because I take care of my gear and don't drop it on the deck every time I boat a 12 inch fish.

Yeah the albacore fishing was good and the day I went out caught some of the biggest grade of fish in a long time. Four albacore barely fit in a 150 quart ice chest had to break out a kill bag for the rest.

Had a friend in Bodega bay fishing for a good part of the summer and they pounded the crap out of the salmon. I'm in Bragg for the summer fishing and around some of the best fishermen around and it was bad. There would be a day of decent salmon caught then the next day to weeks very few caught...

You must have been fishing in the San Fransisco, Half Moon Bay area's that had great salmon fishing but up North in Fort Bragg, Shelter Cove and up it was shitty. Rock fish was great but salmon wasn't worth the time.

[/ATTACH]

Much better I thought it might be that new math that old people don't understand.

You say 12oz but show 4oz which one is it?

Same way you fish for Sandabs you just don't have any other fish aboard. Up North the party boats have Crabs and Dabs trips during when rockfish is closed.

If they board your boat they look at your map and the tracks you laid on where you've been.

There not that small of reels.

And as an added bonus Jer will throw in free a bottle of Ibuprofen to take after a day of reeling up those lead bombs.

Yeah a Chinaman's never been known to cheat someone out of money. They'll short change a Hasidic Jew. Disclaimer I'm talking about the Chinese IN China.

Kroil makes a spray oil with graphite that I spray once a year to prevent rust like that. I would clean the rust it the best you can then spray it on it with the Kroil and it will penetrate between the leafs. That will get rid of all the squeaks when trailering and protect the metals.

Shorter rods have a better leverage advantage that it takes less strength to pull a fish of equal weight with a longer rod.

Confirmed? Are the albacore under contract to show up? They haven't been down there for around 20 years, bluefin hadn't been there for a 100 years before they showed up again. Don't want to piss on your parade but believe it when you see it if it happens.

Sounds more like Dickblower Cruises.

The job of a lure is to catch the fisherman first and if it catches a fish that's a bonus.

Use 113H with 30 pound line for trolling 5 rods and never had any albacore break the line yet. Do use heaver leaders though.

The all inclusive lure.

Nothing in nature is scheduled it's up to the whims of Nature. There's a ScrewTube channel called Pacific Northwest Weather Watch that goes into details about the change and the weather on the West coast with a meteorologist.

You mean La Nina?

Wait till you see the rockfish reg's. From the opening till July 15 you can't fish for them UNDER 300 foot of depth. You might say no problem I'll go out to that depth but the way the wind is blowing like a bitch that time of year you'll won't be able to get out to that depth. This is the...

I just refer to them all as Cunts and that seems to work.

That's East coast.

ScrewTube channel called Born again Boats where they service a lot of old boats to be used again. The kid is a great mechanic.

Have you thought of installing a SeaKeeper on board? From all there claims it will smooth out your ride in rougher seas. Will be expensive but cheaper than a bigger boat. I'm sure in SoCal there's a dealer that can take you out on a demo ride to test it out.

Maybe if she put on some Dallas Whore boots she could see over the console.

Smells like Tuna.

Usually pour between 700 to 800 degree's depending on the mold.

That why I said just fish with it I don't see it dropping off. If a guy wants it off that bad cut the pipe in half length wise, then put 3 hose clamps around it then pour. After it cools take off the clamps and tap it with a wooden dowel and it will pop off.

I'm fishing in the Mendocino zone and loaded up an old Penn GTI with 500 yards of 80 pound PowerPro to drop down for Black Cod (called Sablefish, Butterfish too). We have areas that we can catch Pacific Halibut as well plus all the other deep water fish we haven't been able to fish for in...

Don't need a mold to cast them. Get a thin wall metal tubing like the 1 1/2 inch that electricians use, cut off a piece I would start at 3 to 4 inches, pour lead in it and while still molten stick an eye in it. All it is is a weight to get you down nothing fancy and yes you leave the tubing on it.

Theres a ScrewTube channel that's called Pelagic Pursuit from Australia that fishes for GT's that they run offshore to fish for. All they use is spinners casting for them and is worth watching to get an idea what gear and lures they throw. He films GT's striking poppers from drones that's pretty...

When we were at Cedros Island fishing for Yellowtails we caught around 120 Bonitos that were up to 15 pounds each and they would drive your rod down to the gunnel hard. Fun to catch even though not our target species.

Why does most bitching stories start with the word SHE? There must be a God in his wisdom to put a set of tits and a wet spot on them because if He didn't we would have hunted them down to extinction with baseball bats 10,000 years ago.

If your buying a Lithium battery from Amazon be careful as more than half are Chinese garbage batteries that can be dangerous. There's a ScrewTube channel called Ice Hole Power and he tears apart Lithium batteries to see if they deliver the stated amps and if there safe to use. Spoiler alert a...

Go Charkbait they have people there with great info plus video's on products that keep you informed by Mark. They deserve and earn your business.

It's not so much a insult as an observation. He was bitchin like a woman who isn't pampered to her needs. Been to Cedros twice and it is a third world county but the outfits do a great job to make your trip the best it can be. Food, fishing and the accommodations were great even two days after...

Craft people use the horns for projects like knife handles.

If he needed to return it with his extended coverage proves it's garbage. I have used my Honda 2000 for 20 years without a single repair just oil changes.

The girls really like it when you name the boat after them so I suggest " Smells like Tuna"

Ali, What brand and model(s) do you run on your boat?

Yeah I can take ball busting no problem. The price was just a comparison on the quality since there's such a spread. I'm looking to get a pair before summer albacore season ( yeah we still have that in Northern Cal ) so I've been doing a deep dive in all the brands.

It's not a matter of price it's a matter of if the person stating what the best is has any knowledge about the subject or just some random person who can pound a keyboard. The point is do your research yourself as half the people on this forum will say the best is the cheapest piece of shit they...

Better be careful proclaiming the best Zeiss has a pair for $8,000

Here''s a guy going all the way around England in a 14 foot Avon on a YouTube channel called Harry Dwyer. Great adventure.

Subscriptions are $18.99 a year and since a fishing trips can cost $100 to 200 in gas a day it's well worth it.

I'll look for you this summer.

Piece of shit from China.

And half the quality but twice the noise.

The Mexican people that I've meet in Mexico have been warm and gracious and they're not the problem. The Government from the Police to the President are so crooked that when they die they have to screw them in the ground to bury them. The Cartels are killing 100,000's people with bullets and...

Have a Gregor 22 foot Super Seahawk but mines aluminum and doesn't weigh anything close to your boat. With the flat prop the 9.9 comes with they're made to push heaver loads. A friend has a 9.9 on their 24 foot fiberglass with cabin boat (can't remember the brand) and it pushes it just fine. I'm...

Was going to post the same thing. Around piece of the white plastic cutting board material would be better than wood.

I've always said the problem with Mexico is it's filled with Mexicans.

First problem you have is you said SHE. The statement that Honda's run best on ethanol is about the stupidest statement I've heard in a long time. I have had a Honda 9.9 kicker on my boat since 2004 with a TR-1 auto pilot. Main is a Honda 115 so I have experiences with them and both run on 10...

If that shark wanted you there wouldn't be anything you could have done to not be killed. Great Whites can and will kill sea lions and seals (Yay) kelp or no kelp. Randy Fry was in and around kelp beds when he got decapitated in Northern California.

If the "Free cheese and butter people" quit voting for these educated idiots to Sacramento maybe we would have a chance. It's all about controlling every aspect of your life. I'm starting to see why the founding Fathers put the Second Amendment in the Constitution.

The lesson here is how you treat your fish when it comes over the rail. Bleed and ice down or lay on the deck in the bag or sun.

China is the biggest polluter in the world. They generate more pollution than ALL the other countries in the world COMBINED. Killing China would do more for pollution reduction than Tier 4 engines.

The attack at Ft. Bragg the shark spit his head out.

I pass the place the where that happened North of Ft. Bragg going to rockfish. Great Whites are spotted frequently around there.

The Man has already made up their mind to do what their going to do. They don't give a damn what you think we will get steamrolled as always.

Well how many of us will be screwed one way or another with this crap.

Have exactly the same 2 as well. Seem to wear the amber more because in Northern Cal in the summer is overcast or foggy.

I do too.

What did he do?

Looks like I poked the bear. HAHAHA

Well Princess I guess Cedros is for men.

Two hour trip one way.

I would rather fish 2 in a panga than be shoulder to shoulder at the rail.

Horrible looking fish on the bottom of the boat in the sun.

Except China that will rape the shit out of everything in the ocean no matter who's water it is.

Been there twice and going again in Sept. If your going with Cedros Sportfishing that's run by Rosie it's worth every penny. They take care of EVERYTHING including all paperwork including fishing licenses. Food is great, they filet and vacuum pack all your fish to take home. The Captains on the...

Yes when the other person dies suddenly after serving the papers.

Maybe Ukraine can send a Himar missile to take them out since they're in the neighborhood.

You didn't take into account the leverage issue with the pole, it's not a straight weight issue. To quote Archimedes " Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it and I shall move the world".

Unless it was trying to eat you.

Be nice to know what part of the world your talking about.

Are you guy's lubricating your bearing properly? In over 50 years of fishing I've never had a bearing burn out.

Yeah it didn't take me too long to figure that out. Had a friend fishing with me when I first started to use them and he said "What's up with the San Fransisco sandals" pointing to my kneepads. I told him to wait and see so we went rockfishing the whole day in rough Northern Cal water. After...

Don't forget to give a shoutout to NewScum Too.

I use construction type knee pads over my Grundens as it will solve the wearing out the bibs and your knees. On my boat the gunnel is at knee height and rock fishing in rough water a constant banging on your knees on the gunnel and the pads save them.

Don't see how that can make more tangles unless everyones using 16oz and then someones switches to an 8oz drifting into everyone.

A Codpiece to keep with the fishing theme.

You can just double up on 2-10oz to get a 20oz or whatever total weight you need.

Opah's biggest bag is 82x30x36 inch hope your boat is big enough and have a forklift at the dock to lift it.

I've held bags of ice 24 hours without any melting at all with the Opah bag. Mines a 60 inch bag and I usually have 150 to 200 pounds of ice in it.

I have a Reliable and an Opah. The Opah is thick insulation that will keep ice for 3 days of fishing. I use the Opah for Ice storage on trips and the Reliable for caught fish when Albacore fishing, works great.

You the guy with the homemade rowboat I see going out of Bragg harbor?

There's no free lunch, there's always a cost to tweak an engine. I would check with a GOOD mechanic before I chipped any engine instead of asking a bunch of BD'ers that I'm sure most can't even check their own oil let alone give engine advise.

Load up Google Analytics opt-out on your computer and that will go away.

Another piece of quality equipment from China you get what you pay for.

You can raise the hitch height by getting a better hitch head that can be adjusted to even out the load on the axles. Get a head that's made for towing a travel trailer as the one your using looks WAY undersized for the load your pulling. If you have a panic stop locking them up the force on...

Yes there is look at Optima battery they have a dual purpose battery. If you use a deep cycle as a starting battery you can fry it. A deep cycle should only be charged at 10 amps an hour to recharge it. Your outboard can charge depending on motor size 50 to a 100 amps that will fry the battery...

Because there made in China and there too busy dying of the Commie Flu to work.

And there lies the problem Jer as you know.

The fishing eating recommended rules are mainly for young kids, knocked up women or women going in near future to be knocked up. Since half of the people on this site will be dead in the next 10 years I wouldn't worry about it.

If you need EBT's you should be looking for a job not fishing.

Hard to imagine the Snowflakes now doing anything close to that today.

Plus the panels are made in China the same people that declare war on us weekly. Fuck China.

Not worth it. The cost can be 10 to 20 thousand dollars for a good system.

I think your Dock Bunny request should be changed to Cum Dumpsters to be a more accurate description.

Go on the youtube channel called "What's going on with Shipping" and he thoroughly covered why this happened. There were good reasons why this happened.

Solid advise. The 3/4 inlet side is coming in under pressure filling the tank way faster than a 3/4 gravity drain line can empty it. The rule is every time you go up in a pipe size you increase your volume 3 fold. So for example from a 3/4 line to a 1 inch line is 3 times the volume like the...

Bad advice.

Why does Shit Happens seem to happen to stupid people?

Good luck finding anybody under 30 that will work.

I'm sure the dumbshit won't be missed.

Remember that all the companies that make these systems gathers up data when they're on and sell it to companies. Amazon and Googles are the worst.

Never been shaken down in any city that I've traveled in in the US in 60 years. Mexico has the tradition of Cartels and graft with their police so Mexican does have something to do with it.

All will work but the big thing is take care of them. Wash after every trip, dry, and lube after a few trips. I've been doing that for 20 years and my reels still operate great.

I've always said the problem with Mexico is it's filled with Mexicans.

There's your problem. When they made your boat the gas lines were not rated to have alcohol (ethanol) mixed in the gas like we have today. The Ethanol will eat the liner in the gas line into small parts to clog the line and filters. Replace all the gas lines from the tank fitting to the motors...

Someone needs to look up the definition of Rockcod.

Should have shipped it with a signature conformation with the receiving party then they won't leave it on the porch.

I have fished in 2 of the dams out of the 4 they're removing. The dams are over a 100 years old and have outlived there usefulness. To upgrade the dams and electrical systems would run over 500 million dollars around the same to remove them. We fish for the Klamath salmon out in the ocean and...

Sablefish are in water 600 to 1500 feet deep.

The mounting eye on the bill. Look for video's on how to tune them.

Scotty rod holders makes them and any product from Scotty is top rated.

Was only joking I don't know who he is either.

He was a Gay Porno star.

I wish the boat owners would pay them a decent wage and add it in the ticket price so the tipping can get eliminated.

Trouble is the "I don'ts" are a minority, the free cheese and butter people win.

It's a trim problem not the whale tail.

People get what they voted for.

Nope not a long shaft.

Time wise or hour wise?

Did you change the oil in it as if it was changed a year before you bought it that would make it 2 year old crankcase oil.

Rod holder, one hole for straight out the other for a 45 degree angle.

Cash and carry no receipt is best.

By just winding it directly on the new reel you you wind the 100 yards of used line on the arbor of the spool. When you finished you have the new line that was on the bottom of your spool that's never seen daylight to use. I do this now and again to get double duty out of my braid on reels that...

Where's the toast?

Seems like you have an over abundance of dumb asses living down there.

Ditto. Northern season started Oct 1st.

Why do most fuck ups start with the word "SHE".

What isn't more expensive?

Might be heavy on the calories.

We used to jig them up all the time at Shelter Cove back in the day with Lure Jenson's Crippled Herring jigs.

Frozen fish 0 degree's, ice that you put them in 32 degree's. Do the math.

Thanks for that looks useful and I bookmarked it.

I just take a fat tipped felt marker and just mark the first letter of the fish on it like R =rockfish, L = ling etc.

I was just in San Diego at the West Marine in Chula Vista 9/9/22 and they had a wall full of 5200 and 4200 in caulking tubes and squeeze tubes. Don't know where the Banned in California came from but check the West Marine stores.

With a 7 day cure on the 5200 that must have been a slow turtle to let it cure.

There is NO water to be had to flood up the Salton Sea. There's barely enough to supply the cities down South.

Call any place out of state that ships that carries it and they will ship it. The smaller places are best as they don't give a shit what California thinks.

I see it available on Amazon.

Yeah be more responsible in life and don't rely on other people to bail you out when you screw yourself.

Yes the Sport Fleet. I've seen streams of fish coming off the back of the boats when they throw shorts or ones they don't want overboard.

Maybe if the commercial boats would use descending devices instead of watching a couple of hundred shorts float away every trip that might help make the season longer.

Up at Ft. Bragg the Black cod are on mud bottoms. The commercial fishers that fish for them here are on the mud bottoms where they lay there 500 hook long lines.

I've been using the Seaqalizer for about 10 years. They're the quickest way to descend fish.

Special Olympics.

I'm down with that but it will be electric reels for that since there 500 to 1500 feet deep.

Up in Northern California on the Sacramento River a huge amount of right-handed salmon back bouncers have left-handed reels. They can hold their rods with their dominant hand as they slip downstream bouncing roe or lures as this can be an all day trip. Fishermen have figured it out but it's in...

Does that mean every right-hander is pulling with their weak arm?

Yep just like paint.

NO.

I would advise you to watch and read Erik Landesfeind articles and video's on how to find your own fish with all the tools you have to your disposal.

True left-handed fishing and shooting here, no half breeds.

I have 6 of the Tundra packs and these type of blue ices have changed the way to keep fish or game cold or frozen. West Marine doesn't make anything I'm sure the Tundra company makes theirs and puts their brand on it.

Use dry ice but take some cardboard to put between the fish and dry ice to prevent cold burning the fish. Put the dry ice on top of the stack of fish as the cold will sink to the bottom. If the fish is frozen it's 0 degree's, ice is 32 degree's your warming your frozen fish. If you insist on...

I didn't that's why I can afford my own boat and don't worry about the price of fuel.

I've ran my TR-1 bought in 2004 to 2020 without any problems at all. Finally died after 16 years of hard use. I replaced it with another TR-1 and that's been fine as well but only 2 years old. 99 percent of it's use is in salt water trolling for salmon. I take care of my equipment though and...

That would be a huge bundle.

Yes, but if you blow a hole in your seal and have a spill the fine is $250,000 to raise a child to 18 years old. Use the right fluid.

Instead of ice I bring an Engel 120v/12v, freezer/refrigerator cooler and freeze Tundra blue ice packs. The Tundra's freeze down to zero degree's so I rotate the 5 pounders every 12 hours when needed. Doing this I have frozen elk quarters solid in 2 days without the worry of melting ice.

Don't forget your pistol.

But expect a turd on your pillow.

Nice job but if you go on Pacific Trailers website they have bolt on everything for boat trailers and they're hot dip zinc coated.

With your boat you have I'm assuming better equipment for fishing as the rentals are geared for pulling rug rats around on tubes. Take your boat.

Why would you spend time wrapping a POS China made crap pliers. At least get a good pair of USA Channellocks. It's like putting $4,000 dollar rims on a $200 dollar car.

A 22 foot Gregor (aluminum) with a 115 Honda gets 3.5 to 4 MPG if the sea's are reasonable. A bonus is I get better MPG pulling as well compared to a Parker style heaver boat.

And the Amber 580's for overcast or foggy days.

We don't have Red Snapper on the West Coast. Wish people would learn the names of the fish instead of calling all red fish Red Snapper.

Because of his name, It's a more common name in the Vietnam area.

They're dummy's or more accurately sex toys. You might need glasses if you can't tell the difference.

Up North (above San Francisco) it's just the opposite albacore is the normal with bluefin being the unicorn. Funny how 400 miles can make a difference and yes I know it's the Humboldt current.

A 100,000 Eskimos can't be wrong.

This is what we do up North when they grab a salmon. They can't eat underwater they have to come to the surface to eat so run at them to make them dive. Keep forcing them under over and over till they let the fish go then reel it in as fast as you can. Obviously this only works on a private boat...

Where's here?

Nothing is free it will cost money or your soul.

That's like saying I beat my wife every day and she hasn't left me yet. You know your going to pay for your bad decision one day.

Ain't that the truth.

Because they're stable in high winds, the thin ones blow away too easy.

We could get a hardon without a blue pill but since we can't that means more fishing time.

Go to any Surplus store and pick up an Army duffle bag they're tough and cheap. If it's tough enough to go to war I'm sure it'll be fine on a boat trip.

Everything old is new again. I have 2 left-handed 30's from 20 years ago still going strong, great reels.

Those were the days when real men fished.

Where is this at? What state? Not everyone who reads these is a local that knows where your talking about.

Need to go fast to get the foils to work.

That's a bigger box, even with the small box if you stack them right you can get 15 to 20 pounds of lead in them. I shipped 100 1 1/2 oz jig-heads to a guy in a USPS small box.

Had the same problem and the cure is electrolyte drinks. Costco has a bag of packets of what they call Liquid I.V. it has 3 times the electrolyte as in sports drinks like Gatorade. The small individual packets are poured in a water bottle and drank so it's easy, fast and convenient. You can...

Why not? There are no rules of what you can use in certain situations.

Here's your first problem you said "She" then the next problem is she is an USPS worker a double whammy. It's like going to the DMV to get a straight answer on a problem. They don't hire Rhodes scholars for these positions.

And this is why I bought my own boat.

What! they didn't close down recreational crab season like they did in California because they thought a whale could get tangled up in the rope and float? If you need stupid people up there we have plenty to export.

That's because they pay American wages at Channel Lock instead of Chinese 12 year old workers with a bowl of rice in Chinese factories.

Smells just like a package of Black Cod thawed out from the freezer.

Harbor freight is Chinese made crap. Don't support the enemy that's trying to kill us. Bought 2 pairs on Amazon.

If you think that smells funny try Black Cod out of the freezer. Smells out of the package like a Friday night at a whorehouse. When cooked no smell and one of the best tasting fish out there.

I did click the link and the same picture just enlarged. That is beyond huge.

Ahh! Whores and boats both money pits.

That will teach you not to park your boat in the garage.

That's why I don't listen to women they seldom have any good idea's or advice.

The guy in the hat or the back of a fish?

Same reason we still look at the girls when we're married.

You can order their trailer parts too and install them yourself. Everything they have is bolt on so it's easy. Done this many times on my Pacific trailer.

What I do is at the start of trailering season jack up each wheel off the ground and spin it fast as you can by hand. If there's a problem with the bearings you'll hear a low rumbling telling you to change the bearings. Use good bearings like Timken and not the cheap China made crap.

Yeah it's called road tax. Boats, farm equipment and off road equipment doesn't pay the road tax to maintain the roads since they don't use the roads.

First thing I would do is check your credit card bill to make sure they didn't charge you for 3. If they screwed up the package they can screw up the billing.

Thanks for the clarification. I wonder who's going to enforce it in the ocean? Coast Guard is Federal and this is a State issue so State Rangers or F&W? Up North launch's don't have State Rangers running them

What's Silverwood a lake? Did they tell him to trailer his boat because he didn't have the card and what authority carded him.

Has anyone been checked for the cards? Who's checking the Coast Guard, F&W or someone else?

If you put a little piece of shrink tube on both eye before you dip it then pull it off after it's cured is an easier way to keep the eyes clean.

Go to LurePartsOnline.com they have a snap I've been using called Stay-Lock Snaps part number 4224 that is killer strong. The problem with the Duo type snaps with me is when a bigger rockfish or lingcod would bite down on my swimbait they would unsnap the Duo types. With the Stay Locks it all...

That would be a chain link size.

What's the difference between a Duo Snap?

You missed the point on what he was saying.

Sounds like a good exchange a 400 gram lure for a 240 pound bluefin.

I have the Terrafin subscription as well and you can download the charts to your phone and use them even when out of cell range. Comes in handy when I chase albacore up North to refer to as we're searching for schools.

As a person who bought that album when it came out when the earth was flat and dinosaurs roamed they sure gave that old song more depth with the orchestra.

Have you heard there's something called the internet that you can order anything from? Gemplers has them look them up along with a 1000 more sites that sell them.

Go to lurepartsonline.com and make your own.

Golf is Gay you have your own balls to play with when your fishing.

ALL reels including spinners should have there drags backed off when not in use between trips.

What I do is open the split ring with your pliers then with the hand holding the pliers take your thumb and push or pull on the bottom of the split ring. That will further open the split ring to double the size of the opening to slide whatever your putting on it.

Sounds like you should spend money on cleaning and lubing your reels. I have reels that are 40 years old still running like new because I maintain them.

The best fish is one that's available in your area. Up North albacore is our only tuna we get, yes an occasional blue shows up some years but that's a unicorn catch.

When your fishing deeper than 150 feet with mono your not going to know half the time when and if your making contact with the bottom. Stick to spectra.

There were a small handful of guy's at Shelter Cove in Northern Calif that had special boats that they built up run 40 miles out for albacore. The boats were 10 feet long (aluminum), 35 HP outboards and a stand up center console. They were like a motorcycle on water and went fast like a bat out...

As a lefty it's nice to find a crumb that fell off the table for us to scramble for like a roach to grab. If you a lefty you know what I'm saying.

Where did you get that UV light?

Thanks for everyone that threw in their opinion that answered the question. I have thrown a lot of hardware to them over the years but surface irons are not to be found up here like down in SoCal. As it's not ocean fishing time up here yet but getting the boat and gear ready the question popped...

I'm in Northern California (north of S.F.) where Albacore have been coming around every year. Bluefin are rare so it's not Why we want them back as this is what we get every year up here in NorCal, Oregon and Washington.

I have a question for the old guy's in SoCal back when you had an albacore run. Did you guy's ever throw surface irons at them? I fish for them in Northern Calif from Ft.Bragg to the Oregon border trolling and throwing lures like swimbaits and we pound them that way. Ever since I threw my first...

If your asking whether this ingot from Rotometals is harder than the Lyman recipe I would say yes with the amount of antimony in it. Casting with the Lyman mix with a mold insert would be about the same as a bought lure like a Colt. You can see the different mold inserts on Lureparts.com. Hope...

Really? It's coming from oversea's, everything is in short supply or nonexistent plus if it's shipped it's sitting on a ship out of L.A. Another issue is he might have been scammed like a lot of people have been.

We would have gone out in the real Northern California (North of S.F.) but the forecast was 20x10 with 35 knot winds with 55 knot gusts.

I think your biggest concern is whether you receive it or not. All my Abu's (20+) have that info in the box instructions.

No worries I've done that a few times myself.

He meant when the deckhands were removing lures out of the fish not sitting in the rack.

That's a pump shotgun holding a plump pump.

Thought it was a dog begging for a treat.

Warning signs like that declares that you know the dog will attack. Made a court case a slam dunk that you won't have a house or boat to watch. Rethink having that sign posted.

Yep Spoons he got Forked.

I think I see your roof leaking problem.

Linotype was used in the printing business a couple of decades ago. Youtube Linotype press and you can see what and how it was used for. Linotype is used by hobby bullet casters so I would look around for it at the scrap metal place or internet. The Lyman bullet recipe is 10 pounds of plumbers...

Pretty slick going to have to try that. Here's a trick too add 10 percent of Linotype to your pot and it'll make the lead harder so it won't be beat up on the rocks too soon.

Yep I have a 4 gallon bucket for the girls and a 2 gallon bucket for the boys on board.

Your "friend" is an asshole for doing that to you without asking you first. I'd leave them all at the dock for that move.

Remember buying gear will only make you better at fishing if you have the talent to begin with. You can buy a basketball but it doesn't make you Michael Jorden.

That's the one I saw.

That's what the videos are for it shows you the why of the design.

It's a rod that Hanson is selling look on his website he has video's on it.

That reel I said to throw in the trash was beyond repair. It was pitted from salt water and not taken care of it wasn't worth saving. I have reels that are 30 years old and work like new but I break down (20+ reels) every year for the season. If you want to check my trash it's a Wednesday.

Weed out the stupid one before they breed.

Just checking on the cleaning as I see a lot of guys don't do this. Last summer in Ft. Bragg the guy in the next berth said he lost 3 salmon to line breaking. I said let me see your rig and pulled on the line to test the drag. You could hear the grit grinding as I pulled it. I asked how old the...

Just a tip a Keto diet can be hard on your kidneys. I was teasing you about the food as I'm from Italian decent and we call your list Hors d'oeuvres before dinner. Haha

When was the last time you cleaned and lubed the reel? It amazes me that I see guys with reels that are years old and they haven't cleaned or lubed them yet complain they don't work properly.

Install an ad blocker app and problem solved.

And a defibrillator. Clear! ZZZZZZzzzzz.

Because people in city's don't know the difference.

That's a raven.

I always make sure I have zero packages of fish in the freezer by May 1st every year. Friends will take and appreciate well taken care of filets off your hands so there's no waste of fish.

But the heat can take the temper out of the steel making it soft and bendable so it won't bear loads anymore.

Mini as map/oxy is too hot.

Need a small torch (Dremel tool makes a good one) a soldering iron won't get hot enough.

It matters buying from China that wants to kill the USA.

Did Pal Omar wear a turban and have a flying magic carpet?

The Chinese commy government subsidizes these companies with free shipping so they can put other companies out of business. Support your locals as I'm sure your job relies on locals as well.

Made in China Crap buy Channellocks they're made in USA.

The small releases are good for freshwater lakes as your gear isn't as heavy as salt fishing and trout generally don't have the weight to pull the line out of the big releases.

In your picture I see your using the trout size release from Scotty. You would be better off with the large size made for salmon to hold on to larger line better so you won't get releases from trolling too fast from water resistance. I've been using Scotty releases for 40 years and they work the...

Yum.

Then what am I frying in the pan?

Yes they make lithium AA and AAA.

Yeah it all looks good till ya pop your nut then you have to hear her yammer for the next 23 3/4 hours about how she hates fishing.

Except Tesla batteries which are made in Sparks,Nv with special government permission all lithium cells are made in China because of EPA standards. China has poisoned 100 of square miles with their lithium production that the EPA won't allow over here better to screw up China than here. Better...

What happened to the old staff? Were they replaced with a rainbow of colored hair people that will die alone with their cats with no sense of humor or any others sense as well?

Or smaller.

Yep The sentence of what was she thinking and the answer is no thinking was involved.

I wonder if you substituted the word boat for wife how that would work out? Boat free fishing, Wife free pussy. Now break the cost down for each. Blown engine $30,000, Wife having a kid $250,000 till 18 each. Maintenance Boat 5 to 10 thousand a year, Wife and kids car, food, house, bills...

100 yards offshore NO, 20 miles offshore YES. It's a sliding scale.

I should have thrown in if I'm running for albacore that's a 4:00am to 8:00pm trip I'll take a couple of sandwiches too, along with the other snack stuff.

I'm there to fish not jack around with food like a tailgate party. I take crackers, jar of peanuts, Oreos to snack on between fish.

Lingcod are from 20 to 2,000 feet deep according to F&G charts.

It's never one last time just this time around.

Yeah when your doing that it will. Running down batteries that far is like beating your wife everyday and wondering why she left you. Those batteries were beat down.

You still have to get it down to the water.

HIs problem with his AGM's is a maintenance issue. I have to replace mine every 8 years but I know how to take care of them.

Look at the Battle Born batteries as there made in Reno, Nevada. They have battery banks that might fit your boat better. Their chargers can charge depending on which on you buy 10 to 85 amps an hour.

My minnow isn't going anywhere near that tuna.

Do you mean Rockfish since real cod are on the East coast?

Because twisting the chain will raise the chain up from hitting the ground so it won't spark causing fires. I know what your going to say cut it to size but if you have more than one trailer and pull vehicle one may fit right but the other one won't. Twisting is the easy solution.

Thought the Fred Hall Show was canceled?

Fishing with a Furry with a fringe on top.

If you have fishing gear and catch fish you'll aways eat.

I've caught about a 1000 lings by now and can tell you they will eat a gym sock on a hook if you put it in front of their face.

Sounds Gay but that's what he meant.

Ohhh Yeah.

Just got my 100 amp Battle Born made in Reno, Nv not China. If your going to get a Lipo watch a youtube guy called Ice Hole Power He takes apart all brands of Lipo's to see if they are any good. Spoiler alert most of made in China are crap that don't deliver half of the power amps that they...

Damn you know your lures.

Sounds like a maintenance issue than a battery issue.

I think that's call anal glaucoma I can't see my ass coming in to work today.

Didn't see that. Was watching Alans report for last week and he posted 2018 and I didn't catch it. Looks like I wasted a Rod Boner thanks for setting me straight.

Is Cousins back in business? When did this happen?

Geeze up in Northern Cal we call this a good to go fishing day. You SoCal guy's are spoiled with flatter sea's.

Here's a loaded Fish Field jig roll that works great. They have about 6 different sizes. Rolls up less than 4 inches.

I cut a piece of tubing and put it over each hook to prevent that from happening.

And she'll tell you no sex because you have to be separated by 6 feet.

Had Progressive and used it on a van accident. I was the worst fight to get them to fix it right like trying to install a China made POS windshield on a Sprinter van. Repairs were done at a Mercedes, BMW dealership and the 20 year experience collision manager said it was the worst experience...

Don't think that top would fit on a 10 foot skiff. So the answer is a hard NO.

Makes you wonder where the rest of the boat is.

Just watched a new video on youtube from Born again Boats called New vs Used boats that addressed this. He's a boat mechanic from Florida and highly recommend watching before buying used to see what you're getting into.

I'm sure if you called the boats they would tell you what the plan is.

The pipe is treated to the point it can be used for irrigation water. The sewer backup is raw sewage the same shit you flush down the toilet. Remember raw sewage is 90+ percent waste water not a 35,000 gallon sized turd.

Make sure the silicon you use is underwater rated as not all silicons are.

Oil floats, outboard water inlets are underwater below the floating oil.

Apply liquid instant glue to the threads that will hold it.

More like dragging your ass and forgetting everyones name.

Ghetto talk from the low hood.

And that's why I wear long work pants fishing.

The people get what they VOTED for, this isn't rocket science.

Trying a new fuel in an engine that says don't put it in can lead to a blown engine. I'm in a colder area and your renewable is probably vegetable oil I imagine that will congeal into a solid under 40 degree's. Stick a bottle of vegetable oil in your refridgerator and take a look at it after a...

Did it have the 10 percent ethanol sticker on the pump or the 15 or 85 percent sticker. The 10 percent will not harm modern outboards but 15 percent can blow them up. You have to look at the pump stickers to decide if you should use it. I was in San Diego going to fill up my Sprinter diesel van...

Why? As long as it's Top Tier gas it meets the highest standards.

Do you park your boat in a commercial parking lot? Is it close to the ramp?

You can buy clear lures bodies at Lurepartsonline.com to paint. They have a big selection of styles for the DIY people.

Reason you can't find them is most of the owners went broke and their boats rotted away at the dock. Up in Ft. Bragg there was a guy that bought around 12 salmon boats with salmon permits when salmon fishing turned to shit and he hoarded them to sell when times got good, never did. Not one sold...

You'll spend more on these than a boat plus when she leaves you she'll take the boat with her leaving 2 rods in your hand with no place to use them.

Better read the rules it depends on what your fishing for that will dictate how many rods you can use.

I thought it was a video loop him saying that over and over.

The people get what they voted for.

Because they make reels for the 98 percent of the market that doesn't care or know about things like this. What Alan does is for the 2 percent lunatic fringe (mean that in a good way) that are always looking for an edge.
