The 2021 quillback stock assessment that has got us to the closure of all inshore fishing

https://apps-st.fisheries.noaa.gov/sis/docServlet?fileAction=download&fileId=8290

Maybe somebody can unpack it and translate into plain English the relevance of its parts for some of us lesser mortals

I got part way through it without going comatose but it was a close one

For Sale / Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner $1k obo
« on: August 24, 2023, 01:29:53 PM »
This:

https://dupray.com/products/hill-injection-steam-cleaner

I bought it a few years ago and used it to detail a car I sold, cleaned up a couple of old bicycles, cleaned up tile grout and that’s about it

It’s a cut above the household version and could be a tool for business like car detailing or ?

Main advantages of this one are 345 degree temp and you can fill it on the fly without turning it off and waiting for it to cool down. Also has a tank for detergent which I’ve never used

It’s in near new shape, I’m in OG mode and unloading a lot of things. Kayaks may be next

PM if interested

Glad he made it back safely and I hope they find his yak!  That said, why do they have to publish this in the news where my wife will read this!!!??? :smt011 :smt013 :smt013

My wife might be happy if I started paddling the sharky zones again

Win-win for her, lots of fresh fish or one less og to feed

The water tends to get murky really fast in ncka discussions

There are a couple of fisheries science people who could shed some light on all of this. Clayman comes to mind and some others i can’t think of at the moment

There are also some heavier hitters but that would be a start

Safety First / Re: NRS farmer John wetsuit rash

It looks more infectious than allergic. MRSA is now endemic so ask them to culture it and dont take no for an answer. My situation was VRSA which went on for a couple of years of misery and ended in near sepsis in the ER and gruesome emergency surgery Original rash was very similar to yours

Out of consideration for my fellow steak lovers I won’t post pics

Bottom line is take it very seriously

Sorry I missed this one

Just came from northeast CA a friend has an AI for $3k in really good shape, I think about the same vintage as this Used a dozen times on freshwater and stored in their garage

I was tempted but pretty sure we would need a tandem for an old fat guy and a 16 yo kid who is 6’2

The NRS suits are great I’ve had mine since sometime in the 90s and no fails anywhere on the suit.

123e I wonder if the tear by the knee has to do w pedaling vs paddling?

You should delete that post and get a patent going

Although I think once you make an idea public it’s no longer patentable

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: Anybody rolling without a FF?
« on: July 07, 2023, 10:07:20 AM »
The beauty of electronics is it relieves you of the necessity to get to know zones or find your way in a fog and basically learn how to fish

Or depending how you see it that could be a downside

If it's all youve ever known the simplicity of going without might be refreshing

My opinions tend to go against the current here so take this with a grain of salt

The typical gear junkie syndrome is to overload yaks which imo makes them unsafe

Same principle goes for safety gear as everything else you should keep it simple and know what to do in a pinch

Getting back in to the sport, I haven’t paddled the Sonoma Coast in about 4 years. I never used a FF, but there was a lot more kelp then. Made it easier to find areas and never felt like I needed one. Well with the lack of kelp I’m thinking otherwise. It would be nice to see my depth and what the bottom looks like. The Garmin strikers seem like a good deal for the money. Anybody still old school without one?

FFFs are one of the surest causes of blindness

Right up there with fear anger or any other extreme emotional state

Captain Kahn has a great rep but he’s mainly been salmon and I think tuna not sure about that

Believe his contact info is on coastside
