just a lot less current and easier overall access to me. you can launch at tracy oasis and get to the back of clifton court pretty easy. there is also one spot there i used to hand launch off the levee which wasn't too bad.

I was thinking about drifting live bait from Mossdale down river to Dos Reis and have someone pick me up there. I think I may try Tracy Oasis soon because there's a little less current there most of the time. Does anybody know if there is a grass problem up here like there is in Rio Vista? Can't even troll down there.

never had a huge problem there before but you might want to ask some of the bass guys on facebook if you have it. good stretch of river from mossdale down to dos reis.

pretty decent current through that area at times - recommend paddling upstream from your launch and coming back down. haven't fished it in years. i preferred grant line canal in tracy over it.

This might be an odd question, but is it technically illegal to pull someone else's pot? If you're on a pier or party boat and someone's rod goes off next to you and the rod's owner is nowhere to be seen, and you take the rod and reel in the fish, is that technically illegal?

I'm in no way defending crab thieves but I wonder if it's a difficult law to really enforce. I also haven't crabbed in a few years, so not sure if rules have changed that would make this easier to enforce.
It is currently against the law.

Another idea may be to make your buoy unmistakably your own - like a giant hot pink medicine ball or something.

I put silver reflective aluminum duct tape on mine so i am pretty certain of my pots. yet to see anything that looks like mine.

I dont brine or cure for Sturgeon. Just use as is and tie it on. Works fine.

Good to know. I tried that last year with cheese cloth, after soaking it for 30 min there was a layer of white film covered on the roe ball. Is that normal?

Sorry for derail the topic.

that's whats left over after the eggs milk. they don't last very long...30 minutes or so its time to change it.

Us folks over at Native have a pretty large line of fishing kayaks now. We have lightweight thermoforms made by Hurricane and also have the lightest and most popular 10' pedal kayak around with the Slayer Propel 10. The new Slayer Max 12.5 is really exciting and was designed for both open water and freshwater. We've got plenty of good paddle yaks too. With Mike Mowrey as our distributor things have really picked up and there is strong dealer service. I'm sure we can get a demo of the Max out there in Late October for you guys.

Hey yall,

I'm going to Cabo for a week next June. I want to get on a few fishing boats and get into some tropicals. Anyone ever chartered down there? Any tips? Long ways away, but I'm trying to plan it out well.

Thanks!

Cabeza de martillo is a jerk but also spends a lot of time down there.

you probably saw Moo's video. He's a member here. MooMoo Outdoors.

Headwaters in Lodi has some other options also - new Slayer Max Propel 12.5 should be pretty comparable to both the outback and the predator, but at a lower price than the OB. We have improved our seating height with the new model. Should see some of those boats showing up in shops in Late Oct/Early Nov. I'll have one and my distributor will have one that people are always welcome to demo. It will be a little heavier than the topwater but has some pretty cool little features.

It should have plenty of seating room - our new cockpit is 25" wide all the way through so plenty of leg room.

As for drilling through for a transducer - highly doubt that will be a warranty problem as long as you don't drill below the waterline. Of course if your custom installation is the cause for a hull failure then most manufacturers won't cover that.

That’s a really nice lake setup...

It's developed for both salt and freshwater. New upswept bow raker, improved turning, sharper entry. not as squared off as some of our models in the rear, 34" wide. My Manta Ray Propel handles the ocean just fine and is not as capable of a kayak as this one is. Have never had a problem with my propel drives in saltwater and I've had them as long as anyone on the west coast. just needs occasional maintenance.
