take the Canoe / kayaks to June Lake area. Going out to fish Stripers in
the Sac Delta tomorrow.



Let us know how it goes

I haven't been out there in several years. I "need" to get a new heavy
rod, my old Loomis 8wt is too heavy and slow for an old man. Where do you
go out there? I go to Franks Track and I also like San Luis forebay for
Stripers.

I spent an hour this morning on the Stanislaus at Honolulu Bar , got a
couple hits but fighting the tough wading to watch a bobber got old quick.



As for the OT thread ... I doubt if many here are more fiscally
conservative than myself ... I haven't had any debt of any kind except for
a mortgage on a small 2 bedroom home and a few acres of dirt around it in
many years ... I drive a '92 Dodge with 274,568 miles on it and I'm aiming
to keep it another year or two, if possible ... I don't buy anything
unless I really feel it's needed, not just for budget reasons but for
ecological ones. I talk the talk .... and try hard to walk the walk,
too.

BUT, I am in my fourth year of big spending on my son's college education
...because we have to invest .... not just scrimp, ... to insure the
future

Without investment in alternate energy, infrastucture, and education to
help our kids compete, they are doomed. With the investment it will
still be damn tough for them. "Investment" is NOT giving more money to
the rich people, btw.

What, imho, we REALLY need is to teach our kids that "I am what I own" is
a pathetic, empty, thing to feel and think about oneself. But, kid's,
damn 'em, learn from watching, not from what they are told .... drive that
old clunker another couple years and smile as you do it and maybe our kids
will get the message.



I am thinking Franks tract or Mildred Island. If the wind stays away, maybe
San Pablo bay. The World series bite has been very good some years.
