Anyway CA is getting bad because of the Quagga so if fishing is involved in the Meet you may want to stay away from SO NEV or show up and we get enough local boats for who ever wants to go fish.

Hey Chirmy, LTNT, hope all is going well, I havent been fishing much lately did goto amistad last week till sunday. Absolute blast. kinda nice to get away for a while.
Ca getting bad is an understatement they are getting stupid as usual, they shut down a complete county this week and all boats have to pass through a checking station now and get a special permit. its free for a little while then it will cost you to get a permit just to have a boat or bring one into the county. heres some info

Clear Lake, with its 44,000 surface acres, will be the first major body of water in Northern California to require all boats entering Lake County to undergo a mandatory inspection for quagga and zebra mussels.
On Tuesday, the Lake County Board of Supervisors passed an interim urgency ordinance establishing the inspection and decontamination program. The program starts April 8.

Boat inspections mandatory starting April 8 - www.record-bee.com
From the article -
"According to Fulton, the way the program will work is that a boater entering the county will be directed to a boat inspection station where the boat will be inspected by a certified inspector. If the boat is determined to be clean of mussels and their lava (called veligers), the operator will be given a sticker that he or she must place on the boat. The sticker and inspection is free from April 8 through June 30. After June 30, there will be a small fee for the inspection and sticker. The stickers are valid until Jan. 1, 2009. If the boat fails to pass inspection, it will be directed to one of the four decontamination stations located around the county. The decontamination process includes washing the boat, its bilge, livewells and trailer with water that's at least 140 degrees."

I know some people from az that went up to fish one of the CA lakes( last month), they got checked going into the lake like normal and there boat had water on it. They got turned around and said they couldnt fish it cause there boat had standing water. they also wanted to impound the boat....... Heres the stupid part....... The reason the boat was wet cause it was raining cats and dogs at the time. those people at teh check stations are about as brite as a broken lightbuld. btw the boat was brand spanking new and never been in the water.
