Will be up at Eagle Lake, hopefully filling the freezer! I'll be using the yak and a 14ft aluminum. Give me a shout if your up there

Should be a little warmer than at X-Mas time

The family and I went to Paddle Fest today. My son and I talked with Jim, from Santa Cruz Kayak, and he showed us his yak and how its set-up, as well as a stripped down model. They are a little on the pricey side, but I'm going to try and get one. I will give it one more try in big blue first though. I was short on time, but paddled it out, leaned over in it and tried to compare it to my P15. I think my top speed is a little faster in the P15, but just normal paddling is very comparable; effort to speed of travel. It is very stable, I never felt that "point of no return." Overall I really liked it and would recomend people give them a try if they are looking into getting a fishing yak.
Also ran into Chuk-e(?). Sorry bro I ran out of time and wasn't able to get over and talk and chill with you at the Hobie tent. BTW, I won't be selling my Revo!

Finally got around to post some pics of my pig hunting trip last weekend. My nephew and I both shot hogs; mine was 100lbs and his was 140 lbs. The pic of his didn't come out. We were hunting on one of his relatives, from his wifes side, private property above Lake Sanoma.

I won't be there all those days, but the fishing promises to be some of the best, if not the best you will ever experience. I going to try and make it friday afternoon and sat morning. It may take a day for the fish to find them, but they will be there gorging. I always seem to miss these plants or hear about them a week later, after the bite is over. DFG released a bunch of salmon and steelhead smolts last week of the Feather. There was over a hundred boats fishing a section of the river and everybody was hooking up! With that, BE CAREFULL, lots of excited P/B can make things nerve racking. Read the article below.

I'll be at D/V tomarrow morning in my pontoon boat. If you are out and see give us a shout. There should be 4 of us on the boat. I'll have the BBQ going and the radio on (on low of course). Plan on trolling. I'll report our outcome tomarrow.

Just wondering if anybody is going to give it a try. Would like to go, but looking for company. If the weather is good, I think launching from beach will shorten the distance by a 3rd. Any thoughts or advice on that would be great.

My son and I are thinking of going for bass in the delta. Problem is, we have never tried it. If anybody is going or care to shed some light on it for us that would be great!

Thanks, Bill
