He is, he just forgot that he had two sites  . I did too 

Me too I found a nice person for my extra site.

I heard he was grouchy old racist white dude with a foul mouth and drinks too much.  Pity his poor wife who ever has to camp next to that #$%.  They'll need all the sympathy you can give 'em.   

By grace of a fellow NCKAer, we have site 102 and will be there from Friday to Sunday.  Woohoo!!!

I thought this was a hush-hush, low key, upcoming event.  Now there's nothing available at the Jetty Campground! 
Where's everyone staying? 


****EDIT****
Not just Jetty full, they are all full: Cove, Gull, Shell, even Miwok tent is full that weekend.

Keep an eye out for you Jerry

I'll try to snag a camp spot, checking daily for cancellations.  What site you in buddy? 
Probably just me, Denise says she wants nothing to do with 'those hooligans'.  Ha!  Just kidding, she has something else on her calendar.  I would be baching it. 

I've done tons of Koke trolling with my Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reels.  For that 'ultra light' feel, the 4600 and for anything else, 5600 or 6600 (I prefer the left-handed reels.  That way I can cast and reel without swapping the rod over)  You can get with a line counter, but if you downrigger, that already has a counter on it.  I always get the clicker though.  For top lining, it's the cat's meow, allows you tod do other things while trolling and waiting for the click-click-click Jaws-lick clicking on the reel telling you someone is come a knockin'. 
Instead of a line counter,  I used colored braid.  PowerPro Depth-Hunter Multi-Colored Braided Fishing Line in 20 lb test with a 6 lb fluorocarbon topper.   

rock crawling is sissy.  Try some ice crawling:

So this is off, right?  No one is going?  I want to cancel if no one is going to be there.

More woke based decisions

It is funny to see how people use this term “woke.” It’s like a secret phrase used as a pejorative by people who are often brainwashed by extremist right-wing media personalities. Science, facts, and colored people are all woke now, depending who you ask.

No, you don't get to define 'woke' by your interpretation on how you perceive others to mean it.  Well, not unless you are a mind reader...

In this instance, woke means (and in my opinion) emotional reaction.  In other words, woke is the opposite of science and facts, it is purely emotional reaction.  I will say it again, to be sure I'm making myself clear: the whole woke movement is based solely on emotion, not science and not facts. 
For example, the Sacramento Kings announcer, Grant Napier, was fired after over 30 years as the Kings announcer because he said, "all lives matter".  Woosh!  A career, nay, a CALLING of his life's work because of the woke reaction to his statement.  Yet, 2 nights ago, Lester Holt, NBC nightly news, said those exact same words in his broadcast. 
I am disappointed in the fishing reg changes but make no mistake about it: it's not based on science, it's not based on facts, it is based on emotions by those who personify all game animals to the point they will tie up the budgets of CDFW or other agencies in court though lawsuits.  Those agencies now have a decision to make: fire every field officer and hire a bunch of lawyers or roll over and continue to have the game animals as the top priority.
