I caught my first bass in Alondra 61 years ago.
Size 4 hook with dead grasshopper.
Pretty sure things have changed since then.
Tight lines . . . .

I finished the on-line Boater Safety Class today. Learned lost of stuff about boating in California.
It will be interesting to see how the enforcement part is handled.
In past summers I have rented boats at the Santa Cruz wharf to fish local waters.
The only requirement was a valid CA driver license.
I hope all the boat rental outlets get on board with this program.

I have been using a Striker 4 for the past couple of years. It takes a little bit to get used to, follow the directions. And then you have to play with it yourself to get it fine tuned.

I need about another 10° before I venture out. Cooler in Santa Cruz and Moss Landing.

Thank you for your quick response. I think I'll wait until the temperature is drop a little bit.

I live in San Jose, CA and fish fresh and salt water when possible.
Any reports along those lines will be appreciated.

Tight lines,
Mike
