Whoops sorry… Matt, lol thank you and record fish on all your lines.

Mike fair enough and I agree with you on people making themselves informed and think enough said here on this topic but think you are an informed custodian and appreciate your comments and thank you for you opinion on this.

Hi Mike, I can’t argue what you have seen with your own eyes and some people can be irresponsible in their actions we see that all to often where detectors fail to do something as simply filling in the hole they have dug after collecting a target and this behavior negatively affects all...

I was probably wrong introducing this into the forum if there is disagreement as to the affect of dredging on fish habitat if so mods can close this to discussion if it drifts into discord, it is on the other hand pertinent to our activity so I hope this is an informative polite discussion that...

I got into this a little more seriously around 10 years ago buying the 7000 preorder but never got the chance to dredge it was beginning to be restricted, I understand AMRA has successfully defended reclamation permits so maybe we can both fish and create better fish habitat again at the same time?

The old miners cabin I used to stay in every year circled in red is located on a dirt road accessed from Salmon lake road near the entrance off Gold lake highway it is still owned by a distant cousin who bought everyone else out after the cabin collapsed under an epically heavy snow load one...

I’ll bet that was something special a nugget like that is measured in pounds with an impressive value even a hundreds of dollars an ounce imagine what its value today with gold hovering towards $4k an ounce. This is a picture of gold found around the gold lake area by a fellow named Chris...

Wow, some great pictures of the yuba and that trout is just beautiful I don’t know where that was but not easy to get to I’m sure was that in the area of Goodyears Bar? Hopefully next year when I’m up there I’ll be a little more mobile. I did force myself to put the hours in detecting the...

I just got home from a week long trip to the Sierra Nevada mountains above the town of Sierra City into the Lakes Basin Area in the shadow of the Sierra Buttes and amazingly beautiful rocky ridge towering above the surrounding countryside. This was to be primarily a prospecting trip with a...

I think you guys saved me some money and trouble, after pulling off the air box it was pretty obvious something wasn’t quite right the bottom plug on the top carb had fallen out and was sitting in the depression in the low point centered below the engine, lucky for me it was still there and I...

No grey lines anywhere I can see, no gunk around the fuel disconnect and everything’s looking pretty clean. I’m focusing in on the priming Solenoid first only because we didn’t use it that first day out it’s been around 10 years and I’d forgotten about pushing in the key starting the engine, it...

Well, the test run didn’t go exactly as planned some issue with the fuel shut things down before it started… after putting the boat in the water and puttering out of the no wake zone I continued for another 5 minutes until I was beyond the kayakers I’m careful to be respectful of everyone’s...

Thanks for the link, I’ll be doing the latter and the installing the side bunks. We had the boat out Thursday and I think I know why he sold it is because the anti torque sacrificial anode under the lower unit was way out of adjustment and not only did you have to fight the wheel the whole time...

They gave us issues launching and trailering in addition to being to far forward they want to get caught inside the rolled boat edge on one side or the other they need to be taller or shorter..

We spent the day with the boat at my house adding safety equipment, a couple rod holders and Bimini top using rail mounts that should have been an easy fit but required modification to work, taking a little break it was hot out today in Vegas… then first water tonight at Willow Beach Striper...

I’m lucky the waters I’m in only ban pre mix on PWC and injected is good for everything. But if it was even under consideration of restrictions it would make a big difference. My Grady was a 97 with a 180 Yamaha salt water series injected 2S great outboard never an issue, easy to service. I...

Now I feel kinda bad about that, well just a little. The seller was a real nice guy he bought it from his friend a year ago, but it just wasn’t the right boat for him and his wife they got out in rough water a few times and were obviously safe it was as you’d expect a wet rough ride and his...

I have a cheep version off Amazon, two wheels, the first time I pulled my Aliner trailer out onto the driveway it took me for a ride out into the middle of the street and luckily it’s a private road without much traffic the dolly had no braking or any resistance of its own. I had to pickup an...

A friend and I have been looking for something inexpensive we won’t regret and found a 1997 Hydro Sport 17 Skiff for $6400 this should make a good platform to fly cast from as well as any other type of fishing. I bore scooped the hull where ever I could and the 70hp Oil injected Johnson...
