Welcome!
No tips from me for how to fish near Grass Valley, but I know a bunch of folks on the board here fish Bullards Bar with some regularity. If you look through the hookups/reports section, you can find some good info. There are some older reports from Rollins too, and maybe Scotts Flat. 3

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Re: Recommendation/Suggestion/Advice Kindly Required« on: May 16, 2024, 12:46:03 PM »I talked with my cousin in Port Townsend about it yesterday and first thing he talked about was bears. He knows people who do the race Lot of places along the way where you haul out are wild and full of nasty bears Another good reason to find a partner to sail alongside. I would be down to do this one day, but definitely not without company nearby. 5
General Fishing Tips / Re: Kill Bag Recommendations?« on: May 16, 2024, 10:44:57 AM »In order to keep fish as fresh as possible my normal routine was to keep fish live on the clip, bleed them when heading in, and right onto ice after landing. For sure - I feel you on making a bag fit into the dimensions of the kayak. I will post a pic later, but I basically lay it flat, longwise in my rear well. It hangs over on both front and back, but meh. The only place for a kill bag is in the back, and that means that I have to give up on carrying a crate. I just don't have a large enough flat spot forward of the pedal drive to place anything other than a small bag. The bag I linked would hang over the bow. Short kayak problems, I huess, hahaha. 6

Sounds like a cool adventure. Are you already accepted/entered?
I bet there is a forum for that race somewhere on the internet. I suggest finding that forum, and maybe engage with some other folks on similar vessels, who would be willing to travel with you. That way, you could assist each other in case of trouble. I agree, a spare drive would be bulky and probably redundant, but would 100% bring a spare rudder, cables, and handle. Losing steering would be a real pain on that long of a journey. EPIRB is mandatory per the website. Register your EPIRB, and include both you and a loved one's contact info in the registration. Maybe invest in a satellite device for comms - Iridium or InMarSat are what commercial ships use, but I think Spot and Garmin make some more affordable options. Just being able to send a text message would be a huge advantage in both assuring your loved ones you are safe, and in the event of catastrophe, relaying your specific situation to the rescue coordination team. I would carry two VHF radios, and an extra PFD. Do you have a solution for charging stuff like lights and radios? Some sort of solar solution would be a good idea there. Or, get lights and radios that work on AA batteries, and carry a whole bunch of batteries. I would also carry about double the food and water you think you need in between port visits/supply stops. Better to have more than you need, than need what you don't have. Be safe out there - this won't be an easy voyage, but at least it seems like plenty of others will be doing it, which would definitely help me feel better if I was going. 7

I just bought a kill bag, also had to sacrifice my crate. I went with an affordable bag from Amazon. Works like a charm, and big enough for a few nice sized fish. Holds ice for much longer than I expected it to. So far very happy with this one: Buffalo Gear Insulated Fish... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R3X1R1T?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share 8

Wish I had time to join you tomorrow. I gotta do school drop off and pickup tomorrow, so my window is just enough to get a decent day in Alameda. Good luck, hope you find em!

Sounds like a fun adventure! My schedule is too all-over the place to get away for a whole day or two, but at some point in the next few years I will definitely be doing some stuff like this.
New Nitto Ridge Grapplers handled the roads with no issues! I've got RGs on my F150 - great tires. I have probably 25k miles on them, but not much off-road. Honestly, hardly any wear yet. Great traction on everything I've encountered, and reasonably quiet on pavement. 10

General Talk / Re: Mercury chart on 51 species of fish« on: May 08, 2024, 09:43:13 AM »
Very interesting. I wonder where the samples were taken, and what impact that has on the results?
I've kinda always thought that migratory fish probably vary greatly in their mercury levels. I think it depends on how old they are, where they've been, and what they've eaten - but I've not seen a lot of information about that. 14

Nice work, thanks for the report! Crazy how strong stripers are - I think they punch above their weight class for sure.
