Dang no protection at all?

You rebel!

I'm still feeling Kevin should attach his nice keel guards with Shoe Goo or some industrial type silicone.

I like this stuff for sealing everything and embedding my transducer in the hull, it's pretty bomber even when submerged. JB Weld is too brittle you need a flexible bond.

Hope I don’’t have to do this too often.  Super paranoid bout crunching sounds.  I think poly is mega durable.   I’m pretty rough on my stuff and sometimes I wish I was more careful.  Any hoo…I tore all my keel eazy off da stealth and hope I don’t have to learn glass repair first hand but I have all the stuff.  You guys are reminding me to take it easy on the off loading and shore landings so I can enjoy my yaks for many years… :smt006

I'm reminded in this pic, I got out knee deep in the mud ish and put down a towel to anchor the landing...

For Sale / Shimano Talavera Type Slow J Jigging Rod
« Last post by ftbraggyakfish on Today at 06:01:35 PM »
I bought this rod last year and used it ONCE for rockfish/lingcod and then the season ended abruptly and that was that and I realized that I prefer a stiffer rod so moving it out. I'm in Fort Bragg and you're welcome to come by to check it out.

$120 new -- $60 firm.

Like-new condition -- zero issues.

Shimano engineered the Talavera Type Slow J series of jigging rods for enhanced performance when targeting anything from bottom fish to pelagics with a slow-jigging presentation. Designed to fish with a slower and more methodical tempo, the parabolic shape of Talavera Type Slow J rods enable the blank to load and unload to provide the eloquent presentation desired when targeting trophy fish with a slow-pitch jig. The Talavera Type Slow J series of jigging rods feature powers from Light to Medium Heavy that provide anglers with the confidence to land their next big fish.

Here’s my Pereguard job on my Lynx where I couldn’t quite get it to conform and on my OB where the little triangle cuts I made didn’t fit or stick well and are held in with….tape.
The Pereguard on the Lynx side edges has been perfect so far.

4.   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?  I have a feeling that it's exploratory management.

Curious, why do you have that feeling?

Just for me personally, I've caught a lot more verms in recent years than prior.  Last year probably more than any other single year. But, I could have just gotten better at fishing  :smt005

So for your sample size of 1, your data suggests that we should increase the verm limit.  Got it.   :smt003

All the data is here, https://www.pcouncil.org/documents/2022/01/the-status-of-vermilion-rockfish-sebastes-miniatus-and-sunset-rockfish-sebastes-crocotulus-in-u-s-waters-off-the-coast-of-california-north-of-point-conception-in-2021-december-2021.pdf/

And yes, since 2000 the fishery has steadily been improving, going from below the minimum target level, to crossing over the maximum target level in 2015.  So yeah, it is understandable your increased verm success.  The current concern is effort shift increasing the catch too much, pushing the population back down below threshold.
