Forebay Hunting

May 22, 2023.  Life is good when you can spend more days fishing in local waters than working at the office  throughout the week. After a couple of days fishing The Sac and Oroville Lake, I decided to explore the Forebay today due to high winds at the lake. The water in the Forebay is…

The Forbay is Alive!

Saturday April 8, 2023 –  I have always held the belief that sharing fishing reports comes with a great deal of Karma.

Hello Stars, Hello Moon , Hello Chineese Spy Balloon

It appears that fishermen aren’t the only ones using Livescope to find stuff in the water.  I bet there is some really great technology thats even more powerful than the LV34 transducer and livescope sonar in perspective mode.    Maybe someday there will be 360 degree livescope. The Google AI project was a project know…

Synabego – Boats, Tubes and Pontoons

One of the reasons I bought the 4wd Mercedes Sprinter  Van Conversion was so that I could tow a 3500 lb boat and still camp.   The other major reason I bought the Revel 4×4 is that I could park the 19 foot van in a regular parking space.    The latter is less achievable with a…

Blown off the Forebay

    The Forebay has been hot this past week for everybody but me. Tim, Vaughn and Richard all fished the forebay last week and had excellent days. I took a chance on the weather today to try the forebay and was pretty sure that today would be epic. The day was slow for me…
