Nice looking boats. I fished from an older aluminum Tracker back in the early 90's. I never recalled ever seeing sleek bass boats back then.

I bet those two boats turn a few heads.

I'm interested in seeing what others fish on. Boats, Float tubes, Kayaks?

Bank fishers also chime in.

Obviously, being in the middle of the Pacific has it's disadvantages to us freshwater anglers.

Would it be to much to ask to see all of your boats? Maybe this should be another thread.

I will definitely be willing to help and can bring a few keikis on the weekend.

Couldn't agree more. I'm surprised as well.

Nice to see one in the lake. Havent seen a pic of one in ages.

Good points by both of you and I totally remember the fluctuations of water level. That hasnt changed, and doubt it ever will.

I dont remember any issues with the dam back in the 90s. Then again, there was no forum to discuss this stuff.

Did anyone launch this weekend?

I have a few questions that I would love to hear opinions on...because I just dont know. How low can the lake level get with the dam valve broken? Can it empty almost completely, leaving only pockets of standing water? If the lake can hold enough water to stay at pool above the broken valve, what do...

Doesn't sound good. Hopefully they will remedy the situation soon. Any word from Annette yet Stan?
