I spent Saturday tuning up my outboard that was misfiring last weekend. I burned up a can of SeaFoam decarbonizer and also used some to clean the carbs. When I removed the plugs, they didn’t look all that bad but I changed them with new properly gapped ones. I changed the oil and filter. Also,…
Today, The Cal Bears football team got their asses handed to them by underdog UCLA. Stanford Football beat USC in triple overtime and a surfer in Monterey got wounded by a great white shark (I worry about Mark surfing). Wes and I fished the Delta today and managed 14 fish to the boat including 3…
Tom Tan, my uncle told me on the way up to the lake that he hadn’t fished it in 20 years and remembers catching tiny stripers on anchovies off the bank. I told him today, we are not doing that. We had a great day together–my uncle is a retired postal carrier and…
Not a stellar day but good nonetheless with 16 fish total all caught from 6AM to 9AM. The one keeper was about 20 inches caught in the trench on a white fly. I released several other keepers thinking I would catch plenty, but every thing turned off at 9AM leaving me one short. Caught…
Mia Syn–reporter for CALTV– covers the Occupy Berkeley Protest. What is with this hatred of wealthy people? I was informed that the 1% is defined as those with an adjusted gross income of $343,927 or more. That is about 1.4 million people (of which doesn’t include me and I don’t hate them). Doesn’t that 1%…
Because Gina wanted a fish to eat for dinner, I fished the forebay this morning from 7:00am till noon and put 37 fish in the boat. It was awesome and it seemed, for awhile, a fish or a take on every cast. I went out alone and launched at sunrise. The first thing i…
I never imagined Mia pursuing broadcast journalism as a profession. Not that she has changed her major though. I thought the Ann Curies of the world were born into it or something. I see my daughters skills getting better and I can imagine her working for a news station. It will be interesting to see…
At least the seats were nice at the CAL homecoming game against USC at AT&T park. We got 4 tickets on the bottom row of the 50 yard line– Hows that for sweet. Unfortunately, even though there were lots of CAL parents representing, there was way too much USC red and gold around us–and I…
I have fished a number of pay catch and release lakes and ponds in my day — Sugar Creek, Five Dot, Eagle Canyon, and Antelope Ranch to name a few–but no lake or pond has ever had the size and quantity that Pronghorn gave up. We fished the 150 acre lake this last weekend for…
Mia had the opportunity to interview and do a piece on Ralph Nader at CAL (at 55 seconds). Nader was at CAL to talk about the effect of Sports Scholarships on the viability of great universities. You be the judge, but I must admit that I am a big fan of College Football and that…
On our way up to Pronghorn Resevoir in Oregon, we had the opportunity to fish for half a day with Wayne Syn of Orland Outfitters, on the Sacramento River. My cousin Kenneth Tan landed a 20 lbr on a sardine|crawdad wrapped flatfish. The river is showing signs of its former glory having been closed for…
