For Sale / Stohquist Shift L - Worn Once - $450
« on: July 11, 2023, 01:42:56 PM »
The resurrection of the "dress for immersion" thread reminded me that I have this suit just sitting around. This was $899 new, top of the line suit 5 years ago, although I only paid $550 for it. I wore it once on a cold day of midwinter crabbing, stewed in it, and decided I was a wetsuit guy. It has sat in a mesh garment bag in my closet for the last 5 years. This suit is good for around 5'10" - 5'11", 160 - 180 lbs. At 200 I can wear it, but it's a bit snug.

Apparently they have gotten out of the drysuit business, but here's an archive link to their page for the suit, including sizing recommendations:

Stealth / Shark Shield on Stealth?
« on: October 19, 2022, 03:35:30 PM »
How to you rig it? I haven't taken the SS with me on the Stealth yet, but with all the sightings lately, and it being Sharktober, I think I'll take it along next time.

I was just planning to wear it around my ankle as designed and let it hang over the side, but maybe you all have better ideas.

Safety First / Boat snagged on submerged trap buoy and sunk in Tomales
« on: January 05, 2022, 03:12:32 PM »

From https://fishlawsons.blogspot.com/

Pardon the wall of text; that's how it appears in the original.

"A little more info about the boat sinking on Sunday. In response to my query, Michael Ivey sent me an email: "So while out crabbing on Sunday with my friend( only 2 of us , 3rd person was a kayaker that’s saved us)   , Our boat got caught in a crab trap rope pulling it under water instantly and the life jackets went under
water with the boat. We were left in the middle of the water swimming for our life's for about 20-30 minutes until a kayaker heard our screens for help. He was able to pull my friend to shore then a come back and get me. If not for him not sure we would still be alive. The helicopter came and brought me to safety and paramedics checked on my for hyperthermia while the fire department was able to get my friend to safety with their jet ski.""It sank across from the red barn market area on opposite side , not exactly sure though it all happened so quick.  I think the kayakers wife is the one who called 911 because she told him she heard someone screaming for help and he said his wife was on the phone with 911"  Be on the lookout for a submerged boat across from the Landing, as there's a chance the boat may rise to the surface at slack tide. Give the Lawson's Landing a call on VHF 74 if you see it.  Also, for everybody playing along at home, he had life jackets but was not wearing them at the time of the accident. I'm sure Mr. Ivey will agree, just because the water is nice and you can't see a reason to wear one, the reason may still be there, lurking just out of sight. I am guilty of not wearing my jacket when it's nice. My father (who went on a lot of rescues in the 70's and 80's, some of them successful and many of them body recoveries) says that he's seen more boats saved by life jackets than the people that should have been wearing them (The stored jackets floated the boat, not the human). I guess it's time to get an inflatable one. I also guess that it's safe to assume that the entire world is out to get you. Because it is."

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Shimano Trevala TVC70ML Substitute?

I really liked this rod, lost it, and I can't find one anywhere, so I guess it's time to move on. Please share your suggestions.

General Talk / Good Verizon Signal or Free WiFi Near the Coves?
« on: November 30, 2021, 07:36:48 AM »
I'm camping up at Stillwater tonight and fishing the Fort in the morning - company welcome, but I really should get a little work done while I'm up there. Verizon's map shows coverage, but in my experience, that is a lie. Has anyone found any spots with good coverage or poachable WiFi in the OC - FR area?

Recipes / This Recipe is Awesome
« on: February 24, 2021, 07:08:56 PM »
We've been on a stir fry kick since I got a carbon steel wok and this book for Christmas:

https://www.amazon.com/Stir-Frying-Skys-Edge-Ultimate-Authentic/dp/1416580573

It's got lots of great recipes, and I highly recommend it, but it only has one recipe for white fish, and since I haven't cracked the code on catching salmon yet, I needed to move on in search of variety. I found this recipe:

https://thewoksoflife.com/fish-stir-fry/

I used lingcod, and it was one of the best things I've ever made. I would post pictures, but stir fry comes together in 2 or 3 minutes, so I didn't have time to put down the wok and pick up the camera, and once I set it down on the table, it immediately disappeared down our stir fry holes, and anyway it would have pretty much looked like the pictures on the webpage linked. My 10-year-old daughter, who is pretty iffy about fish, loved it, and my wife and I would rate it as one of our favorite recipes so far. So try it out, I think you'll like it.

General Fishing Tips / Lake Sonoma - Tips, Clues, Hints?
« on: May 07, 2019, 10:53:59 AM »
I'm volunteering as a kayak spotter for a triathlon at Lake Sonoma on Saturday, and plan to drive up Friday and get in some fishing, and camp the night before. Problem is, I'm more of a saltwater guy, and I know close to nothing about fishing in a large freshwater lake in general, and about Lake Sonoma in particular, so any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Conditions look great, but my main fishing buddy can't make it, so I'd be happy to have some company. Noob alert; I've been out about a dozen times and am starting to get a little bit of a clue, but am still figuring it out, just so you know...

Introductions / Hello from Petaluma
« on: October 14, 2016, 07:23:19 AM »
Greetings everyone. I recently picked up an Ocean Kayak Malibu to putter around the river with my wife and daughter. I wasn't really thinking about fishing with it, but my brother-in-law took me out to Ocean Cove with a guide and we had a great time, caught a lot of fish, and now I'm hooked. Of course now I have lots of stupid questions which I'm sure have been answered many times in these forums, so I'm off to use the search function...
