Safety First / Re: How can I add a visibility stripe to a kayak?« on: April 07, 2022, 11:05:41 PM »3M Reflective tape comes to mind, but it would be too expensive: https://www.westmarine.com/buy/3m--reflective-tape--P008_243_004_509?recordNum=1 Just to add to this, Rust-Oleum Plastic Primer is Ooookay, but it's not its fault. Plastic, PVC specifically is really hard to stick paint to. it needs to be really clean, and the paint needs some help for the adhesion. Using acetone really really helps the adhesion, but it isn't very friendly to plastics, so you have to make sure you're taping off around where you're going to paint, use it quickly, thoroughly and start painting relatively quickly as well. I've used Rust-Oleum plastic primer and paint very successfully after learning about how clean the surface needs to be, and using acetone to make it stick better, beforehand it will flake and chip off very easily. hope this helps. 3
Safety First / Re: Missing anything???« on: April 07, 2022, 10:57:25 PM »New to saltwater kayak fishing and will be doing most of my fishing off the Sonoma Coast. I'll always be fishing with at least one other person, but am acquiring what I consider essential offshore kayak gear that each person should have with them. Let me know if I'm missing something or should add to my list of safety gear: These are great safety equipment, you're thinking ahead and that's great. The only thing I haven't seen here that I think of as essential, Letting people know where you're going, who you're going with, when you're going out and in. 4
General Talk / Re: Bay Charter?« on: April 06, 2022, 10:53:19 AM »Jay Yokomizo New Huck Finn. e is the best on the Bay by far. 510-652-3403 Live bait specialist stripers and halibut +1 for the New Huck Finn, I've been on the boat ~5 or 6 times now, the second through 6th they knew my name, I have no idea why but it seems they just care, they're there for hive fives, not salty comments and unwanted sarcasm, they're just class acts. always live bait, always a great time. 5

it's nice to flare them out so you don't have to futz with it as much.
the heat gun works really well you just have to keep going till it looks like it's getting lose. it will be pretty obvious, it does take a couple minutes. 7
General Talk / Re: How to tow a modern trailer with brake controler on my old 4Runner« on: November 16, 2021, 10:30:07 PM »I"ve got a bluetooth 7 pin that i use on the highlander. You simply need to run a power cable from battery to the where your 4 pin is, then plug to a 7 pin female adapter, which is super easy with an adapter. how long have you had the bluetooth adapter on your highlander? that sounds like a cool option for vehicles without a factory hitch/trailer brake set up. 8

CA Regulations / Re: Crab trap regulation change« on: October 29, 2021, 11:46:28 AM »I still don’t understand the trap validation requirement. Is it simply a fee like an enhancement that is paid in addition to our general license? Validation makes it sound like we need to have the trap checked by an authority but I don’t see any language like that. And it's only good until December 31st! 11

General Talk / Re: Anyone transporting Hobie kayak on a Prius?« on: September 28, 2021, 12:35:50 PM »
If I had a hybrid, I would be roof topping on a hybrid, Just happens I had a truck first. A hybrid for around home/day trip kayaking I can't see any better vehicle than a hybrid.

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: What brand of braid?« on: September 13, 2021, 11:48:29 AM »
I've been using Suffix and Power Pro Slick 8?
I can't tell the difference at all personally, I don't cast into the wind much, I haven't shore fished much since the pandemic, but I do know the tuna guys prefer Daiwa J braid over power pro. And it's always recommended at Fishery Supply In San Jose. |
