Hi Mark

Thank you for coordinating great work. I'm sorry, but I can't participate. I have a family meeting in LA that weekend.

Hi Paul, Why did you want to sell? No fishing anymore? I am hoping someday can meet you on ocean for fishing again  :smt044

Don't worry .  I still got two more kayaks and will continue fishing.

Wow!

Yep Navionics files did it, sweet now along with the descenders I made up with today I can be sure I'm in compliance. See you guys on the Ocean.

Great.  I could not believe that the different models of Lowrance fish finders act differently on the same file.

Thanks for putting this together Paul and thanks Al for making the GPX files.

I was able to get both files onto the disk and then load both of them onto my Hook 4 as trails,
I was also able to get the 50 Fathoms line to display!

Unfortunately I was unable to get the 20 Fathoms to display despite double checking all the settings and going through transferring that file a second time.

Locally I'm not worried about being near the line but  Fort Ross and North it gets deep real
quick in some spots and cell reception is spotty so can't just rely on the GPS on the phone.

You might try to import 20FA Navionic file.  My old Hook worked for this file only.  Also, remove "Trail 001" before you start.  It might create Trail 001.  When it works properly, you should see 239 points.

Thank you Paul,
there it seems to be a problem with the Wix site, unless it is an operator (me) error.

Great instructions Paul!  If anyone is able to help others with this process at Shelter Cove I know a couple people that could use help as well.

Thank you, you did all the difficult work.
I started carrying a MicroSD card with the GPX files to help other fishermen.
One of my friends from Fort Brag asked me to install it for him, and I will do that on my way to the Russian Gulch this Friday.

If we have a FF with an option to incorporate the 20 and/or 50 fathom file, will it be a safe assumption to catch RF within the depth <120 feet?

I am slightly confused by your question.  I will assume that you can't import the files.  It will be based on your location.  If you are sitting on a large pinnacle, you might be well below 120 ft but might be outside of the 20 FA line. 
Two or three 20FA waypoints will cover most kayak fishing spots, and you can manually input these waypoints into your fish finder. MooMoo is doing this way.   Also, you might want to use your phone apps to verify your locations, like Google Maps, Google Earth, Navionics, and Locus Map.

If you need any help, just let me know, Sonny.

20FA & 50FA GPX Download Site: https://paul95255.wixsite.com/non-motorized-vessel/20fa-gpx-download

CDFW 20-Fathom Boundary Line off California: https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Marine/Groundfish#287201301-20-fm-line

Instruction
1. Download and save GPX files to a Micro SD Card or SD Card, depending on your fish finder. Not all fish finders have an SD card reader.
2. Turn off your fish finder and insert the Micro SD Card.
3. Turn on the fish finder.
4. Open the folder/files from your fish finder menu.
5. Import the trails.
6. Select the imported trails to change the name, color, and line type. Make sure to choose the "Display" option of this trail.

I can't wait to try Shelter Cove.

Nice boat.
I might be looking for one soon, depending on where I retire to.

Paul

Retire in San Jose. Then you have great points to cover north and south. :smt001

Unless you plan on retiring in Alaska. That's a no brainer. :smt003

Thank you, Alex
My wife and I compromised, and we have been looking around Sonoma County (Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, and Windsor) lately.   We would like to move within the next five months.

I just got an email response from OAL stating the following:

"Good afternoon,

2024-0402-01S, Recreational Fishing for Federal Groundfish in 2024, was approved today and becomes effective today.

Sincerely,
OAL Reference Attorney"

Hope we will get a confirmation from CDFW soon.

Since the Fish and Game Commission adopted the new recreational groundfish regulation on March 26, 2024, we anticipated that the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) would review it within a couple of weeks, but it is taking much longer. I am starting to get worried that we might not be able to go nearshore rockfishing on May 1st.  I checked the OAL website, https://oal.ca.gov/proposed-regulations/,  this morning to check on the status, but it only shows as "Proposed Regulations Under Review"  I will be checking with OAL, CDFW, and FGC for any updates.  If we don't get a positive update, we might have to take more active actions to expedite the review process.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Some of the actions we can consider are:

  • Seek support for California State elected officers
  • Letter and email writing to OAL, Kenneth Pogue (Director of OAL) & Amy Tong (Secretary, Government Operations Agency)

General Fishing Tips / Re: Neoprene Wrist Gasket Replacement
« on: April 15, 2024, 08:53:24 PM »
I was extremely reluctant to get a drysuit, as I've always had issues with latex rubber gloves. If I put on latex gloves, my hands turn red and skin gets itchy, and worse. So, when I got my first drysuit, I was planning on replacing the wrist gaskets, but miraculously, the latex wrist gaskets on my Kokatat (semi)drysuit don't seem to bother my skin.

Anyways, are there silicone rubber wrist gaskets? I seem to recall seeing some when I was thinking that I'd need to replace my wrist gaskets.

Yes, there are silicon wrist gaskets.
I am not experienced.

https://www.sitech.se/products/seals/silicone-wrist.aspx

This was what Kokatat recommended;

Thank you for your interest in Kokatat.
Our semi dry Supernova Angler Suit does not have a latex neck gasket but is does have latex wrist gaskets. While Kokatat does not have alternative materials for our gaskets there are 3rd party latex alternatives on the market that can be used in DIY replacement applications.
