Thanks for the heads up. Yea that's the first of heard of needing a Manufacturers Statement of Origin. I would have figured that a receipt and the information found through the hull number would have been sufficient. I'll give KC a call and see what they say.

I thought I'd make a new thread on registering a kayak since info was a bit scattered in the search and I couldn't' find the answer I needed. I need to register my kayak and have the original receipt from Kayak City. If I enter the original price on the DMV form, will I get taxed a second time for my kayak or will I be alright if I can show them my original receipt showing them that I paid sales tax on it already? I'm trying to figure out how to get this done without paying and arm and a leg for it. I was also reading another post regarding the matter and the poster said he was forced to pay for 5 years of back registration even though he didn't operate his kayak with a motor during that time and didn't require a registration. I'm trying to avoid that too.  Help?

Did ya see any decent spots to go disbursed camping out there? It looks like a pretty cool area overall.

I have a recipe out of one of my bbq books for Salmon. I think if your doing fillets it'd work just the same. I'll bring it over and you can take a look at it.

It looks like I might have to take a shot at both and compare. Thanks for the Fallen Leaf lake tip. I had heard that Fallen Leaf and Tahoe had quite a few, as did some of the lakes off 88. I get the feeling that I'd prob catch more up in those lakes than I would fishing the Sac directly. Last time I did that I only came up with a handful.  The sloughs are probably more productive. I'd hit the rice fields but from what I understand, most farmers out there charge people to drop traps out there nowadays since the trapping started getting out of hand. Kokes and crawdads sounds like an awesome catch and cook trip!

Had a great time this past weekend at the meet up although my stay was a little abbreviated.  Just wanted to thank Brian and his wonderful wife, Kevin and Ken for letting my hang out at their camp. I didn't get a chance to meet everyone as I left early but was happy to meet the folks that I did. I came a way with a hell of a sunburn but otherwise it was a great time. Thanks everyone!

Yep, I'll def be there Friday and hopefully into Sat. I gotta be back out by Saturday afternoon as I gotta head down to Stockton to see a boxing match with the old man. Plug-n-Jug apparently hasn't looked in the mirror lately, he's def gotten a few more whacks from the ugly stick that yours truly lol. See you guys then.
