did someone say kokanee?
I have also heard crappie?

I am going to have to look into this.

I love my feel free fish bag..... great size fits my oldtown rear well almost perfectly and holds a large amount of fish..... my 34 inch hali fit with just a bit of the tail hanging out.

The liner really keeps things more tidy and is really heavy duty.

Hi Everyone,
yes the 3d printing of kayak stuff and fishing stuff is awsome..... I can't even remember all the stuff I have printed for my yak or for fishing..... lots but too many to count.....

trolling motor mounts, rudder control steering box, bigger rudder attachment, visor for my fishfinder, scotty mounts.

My current design product will be the nuckle that goes into a scotty mount with a horizonal adjustment.... as when trolling my rods are either to wide or two narrow off the sides of my yak and need a way to adust the splines so I can get the angle just right..... both tips in view straight ahead.   I guess I could do this with a track mouted scotty adapter as it can spin but i would like to design something a little more elegant and stronger as those adapters dont seem strong enough to me.

We ought to list all of our designs to be shared.

Thanks Joe and Pasha,

I guess I just have to go with a clean boat without motor for the first go since the muscles were found.

Last year went out to Doran just to watch the crabbing from shore..... it looked like you could hop scotch accross the boats yaks and ??? all the way past the Jetty and half way down the beach.... and many different type watercraft.... saw a guy out in a huge blowup swan....wtf.

Too many folks for me I will wait and go mid week the following week.

Have fun

Hi everyone,

Been wanting to try fishing for striper.... I have heard that the delta is starting to go off and I would love to give it a go.
Never fished the delta but would love to try.... my main fishing time is during the week and would love to meet up with someone for a delta excersion.   Looking for a fairly easy cheap launch site fairly close to where we might find some stripers..... Let me know if anyone wants to join up as again never fished the delta and have no idea of good launch and fishing sites.....
Did notice some folks reporting on Benicia but not even sure that is considered the delta?

Thanks
Troy

Hi Mumblypeg,
I am also always trying to find a few buds for fishing..... I just turned 60 and have surfed since my early teens....I thought I was also super comfortable in the water....then I started Kayak fishing..... and like you had a bunch of bo and many other beaches in No cal including OB as my favorites..... I have fished Bo 4 times all for salmon (when we had a season) and Halis and on all 4 landings yard sale.... the last of which was pretty bad.... lost a downrigger and weight and got tangled in my very very large salmon net.....wacked my ribs with the yak and scared myself pretty good.   Locals were sitting on the wall and then rated me and several others who landed while they were there.... I got a 10 and hurriedly got all of my floatables back in the kayak....After that I took HMB kayaks wave dynamics course and while I have not tested it yet managed to land in 3 foot surf even with my tank of an old town Kayak and now at least have a little confidence in landing.

Even smaller Bo at a high tide requires your attention and a buddy is always a good idea.

I think I am going to try Doran or maybe somewhere else this Friday if weather allows..... You are welcome to join if I go.   Friday two weeks ago I got two hali's and one over 40 inch salmon which I realeased without incident.... fun 20 min fight.
