Plastic weld?
I'd be asking for another replacement and a loaner until they could get me another replacement. Just my two cents 🙂

Sorry if I offended anybody I have changed the title to Pike minnow. I'm also including a screenshot of the article that I read in the newspaper that also led me to believe that they were an invasive species in the Russian River. :smt001

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Pike minnow
« on: June 29, 2023, 12:16:13 PM »
Article in the Ukiah newspaper about a tournament targeting squawfish at Lake Pillsbury July 15th with cash prizes. The article in the newspaper was quite educational as it explained how a release of Pike minnows in Lake Pillsbury helped to destroy the salmon and steelhead runs on the Eel River and the Russian River.
       If somebody knows how to put the link up so people could read it I'd be grateful as I don't yet know how to do that. I believe the accidental release happened sooner than the article stated as I remembered catching one in the Russian River Slightly North of Cloverdale in 1974 or 75 and it was probably 16 inches in length. Still remember how it slammed a small two or two and a half inch split lure there resembled a young salmon or steelhead in the Dead Heat Of Summer.
        I also remember catching a couple above the Healdsburg Memorial Dam in the mid-90s probably about 12 to 16 in inches with my son as he enjoyed catching the suckers with worms and releasing them. The last one I caught probably 2006 on the Russian River near Forestville and weighed about five or six pounds is straight up salmon and steelhead gobbling machine.
           None of these fish ever made it back into the river and I know I shouldn't even State this because I could have been cited for wanton waste. I lived with the Russian River in my backyard in Redwood Valley and just over the top of the hill was tomki Creek a tributary of the eel river maybe a six or seven Mile Drive from my home.
         Redwood Valley Fork of the Russian River still had a run of salmon and steelhead in 1976 though not as big as the locals described it 10 or 20 years earlier. Over the top of the hill on the Eel River still had some pretty darn good sized runs but from what I understand not any longer and I watch those spawning fish declined so drastically and fast it wasn't even fun to go up there and watch them anymore.
         After reading the article in the newspaper I thought I'd research on how big a squawfish could get and I came across this video on YouTube which I don't know how to post a link either if anybody's willing to help me out I'd be grateful again if you posted the link so people can watch. It was a YouTube post by Scott Higgins fishing called Russian River California Pike minnow and it was released in 2022.
            He released his fish back into the river and they were pretty good sized so if we can get that video on here to show people what kind of fish we don't want in the river and how to identify the pike minnow people just might start throwing them up on the bank hopefully.

General Talk / Re: Bluekayak fiberglass paddle dive boat?
« on: April 27, 2023, 11:50:26 AM »
That's a light hall paddle board used by skin divers and only about 600 were produced they were 19 ft 6 in Long and you would lay on them and paddle with your hands and your dive fins.
They went over the top of kelp beds slicker than snot and are incredibly fast with a weight of about 50 lb s.
You would store everything in the hatch ,fish ,long and short spearguns , abalones and if you wanted to had enough room for two air tanks.
Some 300 of them were sold in Canada and the Caribbeans. Here's a couple pictures of them :smt001.

General Talk / Re: CDFW Considers CaliHali Limit Reduction
« on: April 15, 2023, 08:08:14 PM »
I don't think it is the number of fisherman that determine the overall catch but it is the efficiency most anglers have now. GPS mapping , color depth finders, the ability to mark and return to spots. In the past, offshore fishing depended on reading rock outcroppings, the color of water, and accepting that current with fog would push you off a hotspot into dead zones and one had a hard time re-locating where the fish were. We have entered the electronic era and it is easier to catch fish so yes, reduce limits to whatever makes fishing sustainable.

Plus one. Today if a fisherman is on a hot bite and conditions are just perfect he can pull the cell phone out of the pocket and relay that information to a friend or family member and from that friend or family member it gets passed on again to a couple more people in the blink of an eye.
In the not so long ago past you would have to wait till you were at a payphone to relay that information which could be at the end of that day's fishing or the next morning .
Today everything's real time kind of like watching the news it is not recorded from a couple hours ago or from yesterday like it was 25 or 30 years ago. :smt001

Welcome back looking for lunkers. Any intel on those monster channel cats in clear lake , my niece and her husband recently moved to Lakeport and all I could recommend to them was try Rodman's slough with some crawdads or live shad minnows. :smt001
