General Talk / WATER LEVELS

« on: March 25, 2023, 07:57:02 AM »

Was checking water levels for some of the lakes. Even though we are at great levels and above Historical averages, groundwater is just above 60% and some wells still empty according to this article.

Not familiar with what run off or saturation will do to improve this but thought I would throw this out there for people who are knowledgeable in this area.

General Talk / Captains License

« on: September 19, 2022, 10:10:27 AM »

Morning All

Looking for some help with info on obtaining a captain's license (boat) for hopefully this next April. So, hopefully enough time to prepare now.

I have been boating for decades. I obtained, my commercial license this year to ride along with a friend who commercial fishes salmon.

Just started my research and found classes that are running from about 800 and up. The ones i have found are online. Looking for a hands-on classroom atmosphere.

TIA for replies.

General Talk / Heads up

« on: May 29, 2022, 08:42:10 PM »

This is posted frequently but a friendly reminder for the new folks getting into salmon fishing. We are starting to see more and more silver salmon here in the Monterey bay. Of course these are not legal for take. Familiarize yourself with the differences between a King and Silver salmon. That is all. Carry on !
