Shouldn’t the license fee go down when the season closed? LolUp rivers too
That’s what I was saying when i’d be out there casting all day not catching shit during the yrs we had shitty salmon runs lol.Shouldn’t the license fee go down when the season closed? Lol
The first fish is really expensive, they go down in price the more you catch. I get the disabled license now $8 I think, used to be $6That’s what I was saying when i’d be out there casting all day not catching shit during the yrs we had shitty salmon runs lol.
Stupid not too. It doesn't stop you from doing what you are there to do.Good on you for wearing the PFD - we lose easily a dozen people a year in this area because they over estimate their swimming abilities.
It's amazing the difference in water clarity once you get out to the island. I went paddle boarding there when I was a kid and you could see the Garibaldi fish (orange ones, also the state fish) down 30 feet easily.I'm out on Catalina for vacation this week. Had some good fun fishing the kelp beds around the island. We rented a small 20 hp boat and a drop rig. Then went off to catch whatever bit.
The teeth on some of these fish are just insane. View attachment 5300224View attachment 5300225View attachment 5300226View attachment 5300227View attachment 5300228View attachment 5300229View attachment 5300230
I think my wife took a couple of pics of what you are describing. I will see if she has any good ones.It's amazing the difference in water clarity once you get out to the island.

It was truly a good vacation.
I worked with a CO at Folsom that was a scuba diver. He would take a dive charter every year for lobsters at Catalina. He was in love with the smoked salmon I would bring him and he always brought me a lobster after each dive trip. He would also bring me abalone from his free dives.When is lobster season?
Kind of a stupid bucket list item but i always wanted go get some lobster around that island. Been out there 2 times when i was a kid. A no fishing, boring trip both times lol
Unfortunately it's harvest has been banned due to poaching and habitat loss.abalone
I went over the south Yuba river via Edwards crossing yesterday on the way up to the malikoff diggins. To show my daughter that shit. The river is still flowing hard. One of my favorite places to pan and sluice right there. There’s no doing that for a couple more months i’m guessing.I've been watching videos posted by thru hikers on the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) and they are hiking thru 9ft of snow right now. The snow melt in the Sierra is just starting and there is lots more water to come...
