Nice idea, I wonder how much shear pressure the can take. 

Greetings,

I caught the end of an interview yesterday on Fresh Air with Jonathan Balcombe, the writer of a new book "What a Fish Knows."   It seemed to focus on fish intelligence and sentience.

Seemed like some here might be interested in it. 

Awesome,

I'll try to be down as early as possible but 530 might be stretching it a bit.

Hope to see you all manana.

Awesome, looks like a fun day.

That is awesome!

Eh Bruddahs,

Thanks for the tips. Seems like the Trevala 6'6" or 7' medium-light might be a good possibity.Is there an place in the BayArea where I could check a rod like that out?
I live in Oakland.

Hio Bruddah,

If you haven't already bought it, I picked up my Trevala 6'6 M at Discount Mart’s Bay Tackle & Sporting Goods in El Cerrito.  They have a pretty good selection and reasonably friendly staff.

Cheers,

Greetings All,

This is my first post so bear with me.  I took my new used trident 15 (thanks Finaegelin!) over to San Pablo Reservoir last Tuesday to try it out.  I have years of canoeing experience but am relatively new to SOTs so wanted to get to know the handling and nuances as well as hopefully catch some fish. 

Tried deep trolling some rapalas in the main channel near the dam for a while then drifted along the western side to the pines. No luck. I then posted up north of the big slide area and tried for some cats but as well saw no action. Downtrodden, I began hoisting the anchor and realized I had latched onto something large.  Knowing my luck I was pretty sure it was gonna be a corpse but when it reached the surface I found myself the new owner of a Minn Kota Endura 40 trolling motor with a Garmin transducer attached.  Doesn't look like it had been down there too long. I am going to try to take it apart and clean it this weekend then let it dry for a month or so before testing it.  All in all a fun day!

Cheers,
Diego
