I will shoot for Monday, but no promises yet. I am definitely going to fish somewhere, I don't see why I couldn't be Bucks.

If we can score lanes there I am in.

Does anyone have an all-in-one gps/fishfinder?
If so what brand and what are the pros and cons?
Do you wish you had a different model or are you satisfied with what you have?
I am trying to downsize and streamline as much as I can and I think a dual purpose gadget would work out fine.

Yea, I thought about that after I fried the 1st one. Thanks.

I took my bait tube out for a test run at Buck's Saturday. I had it in the water while I was anchored fishing..ZERO slap on the hull. I forgot it was in the water and pulled anchor and started paddling. Didn't notice any drag at all. I didn't realize it was out until I anchored in a different location and noticed an extra rope over the side.
I will be taking this thing with me every time I fish with live bait.

Sean thanks. you are EXACTLY right about getting thr URL from the thumbnail.
Mooch,funny you should mention the ticket thing. I am geting ready to pay by phone in about 5 minutes. It is $95 less if I do the school thang! Just hope I can do it online so it doesn't ruin a day of fishing. Maybe I could pic a school near Buck's and make a trip out of it.

I need to learn about the Oakland Airport launch. I am sure San Pablo is closer and easier to get to foe me though.
Jason, I forgot to thank you for loaning me the rod holder. I need to make a list of things so I don't forget next time.

My favorite braided line is whatever is on sale at the time. I personally change my line quite frequently so 'sale' is my favorite line. I have been using Remington lately and have had no complaints.
I was told while fishing a bass tournament that the best knot to tie with braided line is a double Palomar. Instead of folding the line on top of itself and passing it through the eye of your swivel or hook or whatever you are connecting, you fold it over itself, then fold it over itself again before passing it through the eye. It is a little more difficult to get the hang of it as you have 2 strands of line for your loop instead of one, but it holds braided line a lot better than one loop. Mono doesnt seem to make a difference.
