Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I got rods for that too.

 

I can't wait to start fishing again. Striped bass season not far away.
I've been tempted to hit up some trout fishing in the lakes with this beautiful weather.
We should do a tw off shore trip.
How many locals would be interested in a fishing trip on a chartered boat out of Berkley?

 

I few pics of a friend on the last trip I did a few months back. We go at least a fee times s yr with the happy hooker or his brothers boat California Dawn. Great guys, always a good time.they do 7 gill shark trips as well.

 

Did a trip out of Bodega years ago. Caught all kinds of fish. I might be down for that.

 

The spring trips are kinda lame either stripped bass / rock cod combos or they move into halibut in the summer.
I would rather plan it for next fall as the rock cod crab combos are great or the 7 gill shark trip would be awesome. But any trip is good with me. Would need some time to get a head count but even late summer trips are fun.

 

Hey jason. Got word that not much is active untill summer for shark....but we can go elswhere? You know me, i only catch a buzz. I want to change that and show my lil guy whats up

 

I tripped out at bodega also. Oh wait, I read that wrong.

 

Come on boiiiizzzz it’s winter time... ice fishing is in full swing this time a’ year!

 

Sounds like we are lifting a truck soon.

 

Sorry @Fernando strictly up in the hills and trout for me.

 

Like u said text me. Spring is coming quick. March April will be good.

 

Boo. You need to be more rounded. Trout is so limited and small.

 

I just need to catch a damn fish


Not this

 

Fish? I gotta place your kid can catch all the fish he can (legally) carry. Its pretty popular, its stocked even, its not for the "purist", but its fun. Kinda far for a Sacramentoian to drive tho

 

Back in my days, Stripper, Catfish, in the delta and rivers,no problem. Just prefer the get away to tranquility. Hell, I'd almost be content to just tieing a rock to the end of the line and casting.

 

So about that modified exhaust law... Would that also apply to cutting it for axle dump?

I feel like I already know the answer, but if it does has anyone ever been cited for it?

 

about how far would you say?

 

There’s a lot of ways to finish exhaust. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anybody getting hassled for where their exit is located, whether that’s a turn down at the muffler or it’s split to take duals or otherwise.

 

Damn! I wish I could go fishing. The problem is that all I ever catch are fish sticks. Half of those take my lure every time.



On an other note I'm looking to buy a winch. Had one but it melted. Now need one for wife's T4R. She just got her new ARB bumper for Valentine's day. Looking for something rather inexpensive yet useable. I ain't doin Badlands style, that's just silly! If anyone is getting a new one or has a lead lemme know please.

 

There's this new-in-box Warn M8000 down in SB for $400, could try TW-Express:

As an aside; I've had good luck with the Smittybilt XRC series thus far, and $300 for a name-brand 9500lb winch ain't too shabby either.
