The grand kids got evacuated from Central Point and pull their camp trailer over Then the Slater fire from Happy Camp, Ca blew up to 120K+ acres and came over the hill.
They are getting a line between us and the fire now so we are feeling safer.
The smoke has brought the air quality up to hazardous.
There is definitely talk of arson in connection with these fires.
I am thinking if they can`t burn down our cities they are trying to burn up our countryside.
Arrests have been made i hear.

Smallest bass was 17 inches, the larger Striper was 27 inches. All were caught @ 25 feet down in open water that averaged 150 feet deep. Water temperature on my graph registered 83-84 degrees. The large Stripers (20-50 pound class) are more oxygen sensitive and stay at or near the bottom. I don't fish with down riggers so my lures control how deep I fish. As a result, I rarely catch large Stripers, nor do I want them. Smaller ones are more tasty.
Five of the six, were caught on (blue and chartreuse) 800 Series Reef Runners. Biggest large mouth, on a five arm umbrella rig with 4.5" Shadlicious swim baits, also blue and chartreuse. I never use live bait.

Not seeing the correlation. Lazy Ikes closely resemble the Flatfish by Helin Tackle............based in Detroit. I use to use them for Northern Pike.
Here are some pictures of Laxy Ikes and a history of the corporation.
Lazy Ike Corporation
Lazy Ike Corporation Lazy Ikes Successor to the Live Minnow. Lazy Ikes have been a staple in fishermen's tackleboxes for over eighty years. Since their start at Kautzky's Sporting Goods in Fort Dodge, Iowa through Lazy Ike Corporation and the sale to PRADCO, Lazy Ikes just continue to...

Bigger fish stay below the smaller, to get what the smaller kill but passes through. True also with bait fish, smaller at surface and larger lower. So the crank/troll lure needs to go deeper. You just irritate the pike and muskie to strike when you drag the bottom.

I'm not aware of any crank bait that has the capabilities of reaching 100+ feet. Long lining the 800 series Reef Runner will reach 25-28 feet. These are the fish I'm targeting. Striper will not hit bait fish or lures that are below them.Certain times of the year, in the flats/shallows (30-40 feet) they feed on bottom dwelling crayfish.
Best time to fish for the lunkers is at night. I'm too old for that nonsense, anymore.

Well aware of how down riggers work. However, they don't behave too well, on a pontoon.

Stopped by my local gun shop just to look and see what they had for guns. I asked if they had any small pistol primers.
Just stood their like a deer in the headlights when I asked.
Then they started laughing. I mean..... comm on guys, it was just a simple question, not a guy walks into a bar joke.

California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Daughter and son-in-law just returned from a four-dayer to Reno and Tahoe, and spots inbetween. He asked, before they left, if there was anything I wanted him to pick up. Yep, two pounds of IMR 4895. (Didn't mention primers, because I've a very good supply, and reckoned there wouldn't be any to be had, anyway.) He delivered the powder, this afternoon, the last of Sheels' stock.
He shopped three gun stores, and, sure enough, none of them had any primers. I figure the area's Nevada residents are mighty upset with rascally and greedy Californians buying up all their primers and powder.

Loaded some .44Mag Cowboy Loads w/My Chiropractor Buddy. First time He actually loaded his own ammo.
But W/ New CA Laws I can no longer do it for him. I prepped all 1,000 once fired cases. Cleaned, sized, deprimed and new new primers inserted.
All He had to do was run them thru the Progressive for expand, powder, bullet & crimp.
He finally got to see what it takes to load one round of ammo.
And He got his first ammo loaded with Powder Coat. A N.O.E. #TL432-249-RF. A really great bullet.

For some time now, years actually, I've been thinking I want a second Star lubesizer, setup with a different lube. Every time one pops up at a reasonable price, I am too late to the party...until this morning. $220 shipped for a nice condition, clean, San Diego unit, with heater plate and a 312 die. I suppose I should go out and buy a lottery ticket now, eh?
