A roll call might be needed. Who's in ? What time to meet at launch ?  byof, byob,ect... potluck before event ?  What's up !

Dang Pat this sounds like fun! Wish I could go but it's the local steelhead opener on Dec 1. Hoping you guys have an epic adventure.

You are correct, except in the areas stated below by DFG.

DFG 2012-2013 regs

2.40. Chumming.
Chumming is permitted only in:
(a) The Colorado River District, but only the approved bait fishes for this District may be used as chum (see Section 4.15) except in the Salton Sea where corn may also be used.
(b) Carquinez Strait and Suisun Bay and their tributaries and saltwater tributaries.
(c) Sacramento River and tidewater of tributaries downstream from Interstate 80 bridge.
(d) San Joaquin River and tidewater of tributaries downstream from Interstate 5 bridge.

Sounds like FUN!  Unless the grandbaby makes it's big arrival, (Due date is Dec. 1st) I'm in.

CHumming illegal?

Not chumming, I am a very sloppy eater.

Whats the word on this trip?
I caught a 14.6 lb largemouthon St John river in rain so big & phat i couldnt see my bow. I aint scared.

Paddleboy, Ron and I fished NM for a few hours yesterday.

Results:
3 spotted bass
1 Rainbow (angels creek cove)

I saw quite a few dead kokanee in Angels creek cove, so that might be a solid spot to catch some big cats at night.

Holy hell, you lit into them!!!

Those look like project kokanee rainbows!  I've read many a report of them but all I ever seem to find are the dinky DFG fish.  Good for you!!!
