Aggressive Elephant Seal at Russian River mouth

For the record, I would SO touch a dead elephant seal!  I would also inspect the proboscis, teeth, flippers, and hair follicles...but I'm a twisted natural science guy   

Hey rockfish

So as not to have people popping off flare guns in my direction I deleted the social commentary about developing deeper relationships with livestock

anyway they probably don't even raise livestock in the Ozarks

How's the fishing out there by the way? Seems like there'd be some good trout fishing

No hard feelings, I thought it was funny...and there is ALOT of small scale livestock in the Ozarks...
the fishing in the Ozarks....Off the HOOK!!!
clean, cool, streams all over the place with SMB all day long, LMB all the time and the trout is AWESOME in certain places, don't forget there are catfish as big as your leg.   And the creeks are full of BIG crawdads.  Some places even have Spoonbill (for the snagger in everyone)...
not to mention deer, turkey and my favorite game animal , squirrel like crazy...
Just over tha border in Kansas there are monster LMB mixed in with zillions of Wipers (white bass-striper hybrid)......

I really miss it and am hoping to find better fishing and hunting in Sac than Freshell....

--------------Thread hijack over--------

Don't know if you already have but get out for the salmon if you get a chance It's looking like it could be an interesting year

Pinos is slowing down but big fish are there and some fish are being caught off of the local coast, HMB to Pedro sounds like 4-5 miles out

I might be flipping a coin about it this week
