Regulations were passed by the Commission this morning. After the presentation by Marci Yaremko she said she wanted to thank all of the persons involved with providing input to staff. The first person she recognized was Paul Chang.

Thank you Paul for giving kayak fishermen a voice in the process. And thanks for speaking today to the commission about keeping our petition in their thoughts.

Thank you so much Paul for your effort (plus the effort by everyone else involved)! I can't wait for this RF season. The irony is that I actually didn't fish for rf much in the last few years. But when they changed the rules last year, it felt like they took so much from us.

Thanks for staying on top of things for us Paul.

Thanks for the open invite Brian. I want to learn catching kokanee. I caught pinks in Alaska before, but I don't think they're the same. Would love to come up if my schedule allows.

Thanks for all that spoke at the meeting. I feel you guys brought good valid points. Too bad Mark didn't get to speak. I don't know what happened. I guess some ppl who were supposed to cede their time were no show.

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: BFS Trout Setups - worth the expense?

Mine has the digital line counter and it's a breeze to pool the line on reel.
Mine has digital counter as well, but the instructions for spooling line shows how you should calibrate the length of the line you actually wound up.

I bought my electric reel in anticipation of fishing deep water beyond 50 fathom boundary.
That's pretty much what I was thinking. I just need to find time to go out there. The line install procedure seems a bit tedious. I guess I'll have to find/buy an accurate line-counter before I can install the line.

Signed the form.  Will attend webina.

I bought a shit ton of BFS stuff after watching those YB videos in the last three years. The problem is, I don't have any opportunity to use those gears because I'm nowhere near any fishery that can benefit from BFS fishing. I can tell you that the Shimano Curado BFS does not cast any further than the Chinese BFS reels, but the Shimano feels the most solid in your hand. I literally have over a hundred BFS hard jerk bait and never caught a fish with them. BFS fishing is just another money pit to me. Unless you know where you're gonna use BFS gear, you'll probably never end up using them ;) But if you have the itch to try them out, why not.
Btw, I just came back from Japan and picked up a couple of electric reels. That's another money pit. I hope I get some use out of them  :smt003

When you took them apart, did you just back off the four nuts and it all comes apart?
Yes. I just put WD40 on the bearings and turn it bunch of times to work it loose. I think they will become smoother with use. When putting the assembly back together, do not over tighten them. Try to remember the position of the nuts and put them back the way they were.

In addition, I noticed the wheels don't roll easily. I thought they had done away with the bearings altogether. I took apart one of the wheels to inspect the issue. Turns out the bearings are still there. It's so tight that they don't easily turn anymore. I applied WD40 and turned the bearings on my drill a bunch of times. It's easier to turn now.
Even the foam pieces are different from the old ones. The old ones are tapered and stiff. The new ones are just cut from a tube and are soft.
Build quality is definitely not as good as before. But at that price, I can't complain.

General Talk / Re: Can you target inshore rock fish, even if C&R?
« on: November 10, 2023, 04:05:53 PM »
I posted a snippet of the original video for CalTip. He had never mentioned he was targeting Halibut in the original video.


I'm not really trying to get him busted. The problem is, he posted that video and only got praises in the comments. No one pointed it out that he can't be targeting rf in that area at this time. They just wanted to know where to catch rf. Someone may try to repeat his success and get in trouble.

Looks like he took down the video. I have a recording of it. He could deny all he wants. Using rockfish jig on the Little Pedro reef area is obviously targeting rf. He had crabbed and fished there before. He knew what he was doing.
