Miss my original Big Chief which lasted decades

I made the mistake of upgrading to the big traeger but electronics were dysfunctional and went through the return thing twice at Costco

Need to get another Big Chief not sure who carries them now

Besides amazon

Very cool

The local California indigenous situations are pretty interesting and mostly invisible to the rest of us

During the MLPA process I was up at Albion interviewing people at the saving seafood festival/protest. Best part of the experience was meeting folks from the Kashia-Pomo who were trying to retain seafood harvest rights at a spot they’d been at it for thousands of years. At the time Packard et al were intent on shutting them out but I think they may have won something back not sure. I should call up there to see how it all shook out

Another interview was with a local harbormaster who was advocating on their behalf. I need to dig those out and have another look

“ There have been 24 shark attacks off the California coast since 2020, data shows.”

Is that a typo?

With what you see out there it’s surprising it doesn’t happen more often

Introductions / Re: Intro: I have spent 6 decades fishing but am new to Yaks

Hi Jim

Just looking at those yaks it looks like it’s designed for flat wind-free conditions

Fully loaded with a human on top is a recipe for a swim, meaning in chop or short steep wind waves would be a high likelihood it will roll

I.e. be very picky about days and conditions

Especially in SF bay or ocean and anyplace else the wind kicks up

At least this guy can swim. Also like that he travels light. One of the kayak locals at Muir used to get his dinner with one rod one lure and that was it

A closed deck yak… must’ve been exciting

I wonder if he still wants it

Not sure I would

General Talk / Re: Monterey Fish Sales Off The Dock
« on: September 06, 2023, 06:20:37 PM »
If I am not mistaken, this is a small scale commercial fisherman catching halibut, no limit on his catch and selling it locally. So this does effect the recreational kayak fishermen who are limited to two. I think this is an example of what I have said in past post that these regulations are set up to save the commercial fishing industry and not the fish stock.

Sorry gotta call bullshit on that one

Guitarzan!

I was just wondering into what part of the usa you might have disappeared into Hopefully a fun one

Clayman where is the resistance to making descenders mandatory in CA coming from? Not doubting what you’re saying I just haven’t seen it anywhere


Off topic a little but call this a hypothetical

If 3 scientists are hired to do stock assessments say for canary rf; 2 conclude the stocks are healthy, 1 that the stocks are in peril

Which one should CDFW go with for a decision about closures etc?

30
I get the general drift of the 2021 assessment, what I’m more curious about is specifically how those numbers were arrived at, for instance what came from actual counts vs what were guesstimates/models etc, then beyond that how it all factored into a decision(-making process) like the one we got

Science should be immune to ideology but it’s not always the case

The 2021 quillback assessment may be totally legit

There have been prior stock assessments that weren’t, and similar management decisions that followed
