Hey Al, my friend is selling a 2014 Tundra double cab. It has 146k miles with the 4.8ltr v8 and supposedly tows 10k lbs. It’s a decent deal at $17k. 6.5ft bed and lots of aftermarket parts.

This has been my dream trip ever since I was a little kid watching Bill Dance on tv in the Amazon, catching peacock bass.

Reading comments on the article, many people mentioned seeing thresher sharks jumping clear out of the water during the last 2 weeks…

I like the idea of seperating crappie & other sunfish into 2 categories. Should we do that next year?

Anything is possible! But there hasn’t been a single boat fishing off Monterey this whole week.

Hi Jon! 
That thing looks badass. I remember checking out the first one you built and was super impressed with the quality.

Has anybody discussed this petition with members of other user groups, like private boaters or the CPFV community? I may be wrong, but I assume certain groups will not like the idea.

Why would they?

Human nature. People generally don’t like it when other people (not them) have nicer things or better opportunities.
I sort of like the idea of a kayak/non-motorized designation being added to the regs; like they did for spearfishermen in ~2010. If anything, the regs for this category would be more liberal with longer seasons. And that sounds good to me! It would certainly lead to more kayak sales & kayak anglers. Maybe if that was conveyed to some of the kayak manufacturers, they would be interested in lending support… 
I just don’t think the commission will make such an exception based on this specific situation/petition. Nevermind that I’ve only caught 5 or 6 quillbacks in the last 18yrs. From their perspective, we’re essentially saying that we will only “take” a few dozen quillbacks because we’re in kayaks and can’t go as far & there’s less of us (less effort hours). They are managing the species for 0 take right now. I’m not trying to be a dick. Just trying to look at it from their perspective.
