I have a yellow Ocean Kayak Malibu II XL Angler that needs to find a good home.  Pretty much looking like new. I keep it in our inside recreation room. I purchased new from Adventures in Sac in 9/29/10 (have receipt) which includes the original two seats and two paddles. I probably used it maybe a half dozen times when my youngest wanted to go out with me before he was confident to go out by himslf. I have also paddled from the middle position by myself. Great boat for a big guy or wanting to go for a paddle with someone else. I live up in the north state just outside of Redding. Will also place on CL soon. Please PM me a reasonable offer if interested. 

Gotta break in the new Yak...anyone going out to Whiskeytown or Shasta or ? Sunday or Monday? 

A friend of my stopped over tonight to share some moonshine he made out of pineapple and bananas. No kiddin. Mixed it with agave juice, fresh squeezed grapefruit, lime and had to cut it with a bit of water on the rocks. Holy cow... I am not a hard drink type of guy...but that was one great drink. 

Whiskeytown Lake
1/19/13: I made a quick decision Friday night to go out on Whiskeytown for Saturday with my nephew Joel. He just moved up this way and is getting into fishing. We paddled around for a bit before finding a quick bite around 12:30 to 2:00 in a south side cove. I landed two and Joel got a few strikes but no fish. By three it was hard to find any bite. About 3:15 I landed a fattie by the swim beach. Three fish. Beautiful day! Felt great just to get out in water in the winter.
1/20/13: I could not resist to head back out on Sunday for a solo journey. This time I paddled all the way to the powerhouse and then back around Oak Bottoms. I did not get one bite.? Again a beautiful day and a long paddle. Once again... felt great to be out!

Check out the fattie. 17 1/2 RT ..almost looks like a chinook with the small hook jaw and color compared to the smaller skinnier 15 1/2 bright one. All were good in the jambalaya!

Heading over to Trinidad (or?) on Saturday. Anyone else heading out in that direction? 

Just isn't the same reading it somewhere else. Agree or disagree?

Well, I did not make it to the coast so I thought I would take Sam, Mitch and his girl friend up to Lake Britton for an evening fish and crayfish. We had a late start so I thought to push it a little and ended up with a speeding ticket . How is that for a great reminder to slow down.

To make matters worse the wind was gusting and I shorted two ropes and lost two traps (we eventual retrieved them, but spent too much time with that).

Caught inly a few crappie, short sm and a few crawfish.

Still, no place I rather be than on the water.   Sorry no pics...
