Craftsmen's Corner / Re: Hull Protection
« on: March 27, 2024, 01:52:28 PM »
Hi everyone,
I spent about 75 dollars on Jb Weld to do mine and it lasted almost a year..... it is all peeled off now and I am thinking of trying rustoleum truck bed using their activator....saw it some where on youtube..... probably will not hold up well either and may reinstall my kydex for the bow and just fill all the many many scratches with ptex.  At least it is not as pricey as jb and looks to be easier to install.

good thing my kayak is built thick.... Old town sportsman.... but boy is it heavy.

If anyone knows of a better way to protect the hull I would love to hear about it.   But for me the Jb is not the way....too $$$ and too tough to apply.

Hi Kevin,
I am thinking of going to sly midweek next week.... how the fishing been?

Thanks
Troy

Launched Bo four times and 4 yardsales on landing..... it is not the huge surf (usually not too big) but the lack of beach especially at higher tides.... sometimes you have to land right on the ramp or very close to it.... small thumping shore pound can be challanging..... lost a net a pole a downrigger weight and a radio..... not all at once but over the 4 landings.... Sure others have done worse with much equipment loss.

Made me take a surf kayak class in Half moon bay..... then they closed salmon season so I have yet to try it again with some techniques that I had no idea of before....  Think I can land safely now but will be stowing everything I can before trying again.

Half moon bay and Monterey and Doran are a whole lot easier.

Hi all,
Good luck and will be watching for you report.... went yesterday and in 3 hours of throwing  around dunphy anchorage and to belvedere and spinaker (my arm is sore) one 3" herring.... lots of eggs on the eel grass though.

If you find them I will be out again soon.

great catches.

Hi Paul,
Glad you and wife are good.... and the cell phones.   Sorry you lost gear.... it seem that with me this always occurs after or during a skunk.... make me remember it all the more and also makes me reconsider all of my safety gear and proceedures.  Thanks for the sharing of a story with a good ending (except the skunk and lost gear).

I would love to join you next year as I love lobster and know nothing about that fishery.

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Re: Lake Sonoma
« on: September 26, 2023, 11:43:21 AM »
Hi FP,
No but looking for somewhere to go Friday ..... Ocean too rough Bay too windy..... Stampede or Bollards too far.  May just do Pet River as it is close and relatively easy and even if the wind gets bad it is usually manageable.
Interested in what Lake S has in store so I am interested.... esp if there is other than bass or catfish.

Thinking of getting some crab for my freezer and maybe bounce ball for Halibut as well.... Any one want to join thinking of getting on the water early.

Hi All,
Love the bugs near tahoe..... get them also at Lake Folsom and my favorite meal is Stampede Kokes and crawdads with a small steak... and either a ripping IPA or a glass of cab.     I think the ones I have got are called signal crays..... I have never gotten them any where else so nothing to compare them to.  Going in three weeks for 4 days and can hardly wait.

General Talk / Re: Any REHS in the house?
« on: May 12, 2023, 07:46:27 AM »
Hi Jewli0n,
I am not an ehs but I am a civil engineer that does a lot of work in Marin County with Septic systems and work very much with them.   
It must be hard to tell folks that they have to replace their septic system and all the cost that entails.   Most of the folks I work with seem to like the job and the challenges that they face doing the work.   
Occasionally we get a client that refuses to do the right thing or does not have the means to do the right thing.   These interactions can be stressful for all the people involved.
The other thing that gets stessful is that all residential development in Marin requires some level of functioning system and includes inspections and sometimes with very limited properties there is no way to get improvements due to poor soil, high groundwater or other constraints..... sometimes the folks wanting the improvements will not/ can not understand that they are truly limited no matter what the cost.

These are the typical folks who will not take "no" as an answer no matter how it is explained to them..... these folks are the hardest for me to deal with and my guess is that it is harder for the EHS folks.  I could see this job being tough for folks who want everyone to be happy.  Sometimes this is not possible.

The upside is you may be out in Nature more than the usual office job.... you can be involved in problem solving.... you probably will get dirty..... the there is the poisen oak.
