This year may be the first time I cave in and bring my spare glasses on the water, to tie knots with.

Fish Talk / Re: 2024 Comerical Crab season closes April 4th (Northern Managment Area)« on: April 01, 2024, 04:01:25 PM »
On CBS this morning they were talking about it and mentioning that some commercial crabbers participated in a time release buoy deployment system trial and that they were happy with the results. Trying to lend credibility to the plans they have mentioned in prior statements as a possible solution. Sounds expensive, but would allow longer seasons. Still costs will go up either way I'm sure.

Craftsmen's Corner / Re: Hull Protection« on: March 28, 2024, 10:06:12 AM »
I've seen lots of hull protection posts and none of the solutions seem permanent. Some kayaks have that replaceable skeg, that's probably the only solution that I've seen that looks permanent, but still needs to be replaced depending on use.
That said, I'm also not sure why people feel they need hull protection. I'm careful with my kayak, not perfectly all the time, it has some scrapes for sure, some gouges. But I'm not wearing away any spot on my kayak, because I don't drag it except on sand or dirt. When I wheel to the water I get the nose as close to the water on my wheels and then lift it off on to the ground. When I launch, I lift the back end and walk out, not scraping and the nose floats the yak until i'm ready to jump in and go. If i'm at a launch ramp I do the same, except facing backwards. I have hullavators, so it comes off the side of my truck, and on to the ground, with the rear of my yak already in the water. Launching by lifting the front and walking out and then I either launch backwards or turn it. 22

I really like this design, although you have to BIY: https://www.dfw.state.or.us/MRP/recompression/docs/FishGrip_HowToMake.pdf
(Thanks to 3$j in: https://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=89347.30) The videos on its usage just looks like what i'm imagining doing on my kayak: I have some thin poly-rope and I want to mount it on a spindle or some way I can just clip the rockfish and then descend it by dropping overboard 24

You wont be able to send a bloated fish down with only a couple of ounces, you need something over 6oz and more is better/easier to descend.Thanks for the info! 25

Vermillion limit reduction to 2-sub bag limit in all areas except Northern Groundfish Management Area, which has a 4-sub bag limit. Is there a data based reason for this change?

General Talk / Re: Scammers« on: March 26, 2024, 08:10:57 AM »What a scam!I'm in this camp as well, most of the time. But I've made a bunch of appointments recently and have had people actually calling me for things. But this might inspire me to use my google voice number for things that I care about. 28
General Talk / Re: Scammers« on: March 26, 2024, 08:07:15 AM »I can't believe you called the number. Felt guilty?I called back the number, they called me originally and wanted me to stay on the line. But it is true they had me a bit concerned that I did actually have some failure to appear for jury summons, because I know that I missed at least one request during 2021/covid. It is embarrassing afterward, but they really did get me in to a state of confusion up until they started trying to get me to go get a bail bond. While on the phone I tried googling the number and wasnt' coming up with anything. So when I hung up and called back and the voicemail box wasn't a receptionist or a IVR system I knew it was a hoax. I'm not falling for anything like that again, and hope no one else does ever. My dad was scammed by people claiming he won the Publishers Clearing House claiming that he won a million dollars. Scammers that prey on people like this are the scum of the earth. 29

I'd love to have a chat with whomever designed those seps containers cause the same thing happens to me every time
I had some other baggies (no, not those kind) for swivels or weights or something and I put them in there. There is a hole in the bag just the right size to pop one out when I need it, so I do that. Still, I keep everything in a container when assembling, cause those mf's go everywhere if you drop them. 30
