Cals or Shimano drag grease . Blue marine grade grease on gears and for coating parts . Bearings get 0-20 oil which the blue bottle 3 in one is . . Clean and lube often is the key , particularly after a salt water dunk . Note , Cals is good stuff and I know people that use it for all grease needs ...

Wow those are some very healthy panfish . they almost look like they are not real . . Thanks for the report

If you are having trouble , at the bottom of the forum index there is a support / admin section , I would try there first

Happy belated fathers day . I remember the days of the Carter administration well . My top grade float tube consisted of a 17 inch truck tire tube and a rudimentary sling to sit in $15 bucks at the local sporting goods store . The back bay of Currituck sound in Virginia was a paradise . The duck ...

Spent several hours at the loading bench this weekend . 5 Boxes steel 12 ga dove loads , 8 boxes 3 inch duck loads . Can't wait to get out there . May do a bit of Cottontail hunting the next couple of mornings . Stay safe in the heat . WR

Even loading components , when you can find them , are up in price and availability is tough as well . Those that procrastinated on buying ammo before season may be out of luck . Shoot straight , stay safe . WR

I went to Grizzly Island over the weekend plus a couple of days . Mowing ,Channel grading , repair of a blind that floated out of the ground last season . Opened the 2 foot flood gate to allow about 70 acres to be flooded . Will take 2 weeks to soak in and start to fill the pond . Can't wait for the ...

Have not done jigs etc . for long term brilliance . I do have bullets of the same alloy we traded for a few years back Wheel weight and lino type that have been in storage for over 30 years and still as bright as the day they were cast . I have noted that the sinkers I cast from the same alloy will ...

Over the years I think back to all the reasons I have for giving thanks on this day . Just put a turkey on the old charcoal fired Weber and it is casting a good smell through the neighborhood . To all , I wish a safe and happy holiday . Enjoy however you celebrate . Cheers ! WR

WR -- wondering if you've ever tried this place? Hole in the wall ...

!6 inch for me , let the big girl go . For winter / late fall perch swap over to a different bait . Green rock crabs make up a large portion of the forage for perch . I know don't put it on the web but is true . The hassle of getting the right bait is worth it . Not many willing to travel for couple ...

After working at the Zoo for 32 years . I managed a number of Fur / hair samples , and quite a few feathers of now unknown origin, should have marked them better . Fun to try different materials . I still find myself collecting seagull feathers from carcases when I want some traditional Bonito jigs ...

You may have this info already ,https://wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/Artificial-Reefs/Guide , has GPS numbers and distances from harbors that may help decide where to go for first trips . Basically the same outfits used at any location . Bait , Jigs , leadheads , all should work . Stay safe out ...
