No more size limit on Cabezon and greenlings is the only change I see from last year regs.

Your answer to what it cost vs. new purchase reminded me of ukulele entertainer Ralph Shaw's tune "How to Build a Ukulele Case". See 3:57 in this video:

You did a great job and the orange fenders are a nice touch!  And it kept you out of more serious trouble while you did it!

Great video, which exactly fits the situation.

Coincidentally, I was just in the local metal store today, and they have a bunch of 2" square aluminum tubing in their scrap bin that is exactly what I'd need to build another one, and it's super-duper-cheap. So tempted to get it jsut to prove that I can actually build one on the cheap(ish)...

Good luck out there 👍

Thanks for the report. 

Geetum Paul!  Gonna rotate some traps at Tomales for a minute tomorrow.  Stay tuned...
