Boat decontamination

[Jrs461]

Would anybody have any ideas on how we can decontaminate our boats ourselves.
I know the authorities don’t give a sht if we do it ourselves. I go to a lot of lakes where nobody is there checking. I’d like to be able to do my part. I’ve heard it said that white vinegar ran through live wells works also spray it on trailer bunkers
totally in the dark on this subject . Any information would be appreciated.

[Mark-C]

Yeah I would like to know about this too. Seems like it will be a while before any of these agencies are willing to go out on a limb and put something like this out there.

[Whoopbass]

It's all B.S.. My money is that the state or some water agency had something to do with this. I find it strange that in the last hundred years nothing happened until now.

No ****. Who believes the golden mussel just decided to hitch a ride on a ship after all these years ?

If we clean and dry our boats nothing is moving.
What is the chance you run your boat in water with the microscopic larva in it and then it gets moved to another lake and populates?
Are we suppose to believe that every drop of water in the delta has the larva?
They act like we are stupid

I get it. We can’t let a boat with mussels attached to the outboard or hull on the lakes
Just dry off the boat and cleaning like 99% of bass guys already do is more than adequate.
Anyone with common sense knows that. The problem is the powers to be think we have no sense at all just because they have little to none themselves
It’s nothing more than an excuse to go green and get boats off the water
This is outrageous and 50% of are falling for it

Here I have this from 2008

To decontaminate a boat from zebra mussels using bleach, the recommended solution is generally 2 cups of household bleach per 1 gallon of water. This creates an effective disinfectant that kills zebra mussel larvae and adults. Here’s how to proceed:
Steps for Decontaminating a Boat:
1. Prepare the Solution: Mix 2 cups of bleach (approximately 10% bleach solution) with 1 gallon of water. Use a well-ventilated area and wear gloves to protect your skin.
2. Apply the Solution:
Spray or scrub the solution onto all surfaces of the boat that have been in contact with water (e.g., hull, propellers, bilge area, live wells, trailer, etc.).
Pay extra attention to crevices, joints, and other hard-to-reach areas where zebra mussels might hide.
3. Let It Sit:
Allow the solution to sit for at least 10 minutes. This gives the bleach time to kill the mussels and larvae
4. Rinse Thoroughly:
Rinse the boat thoroughly with clean, fresh water to remove the bleach solution and any dead mussels or larvae.
5. Dry the Boat

The is the main source of the problem and they will never shut it down. The lakes that are currently shut down or new hours will be back up and running before spring the Feds will see to that. They don't like losing money.

You want to bet on that? I bet the total gate fee's from boaters for the year pay's for less than 10 employees. Probably 5 if you factor in everything, or probably just for two of their highest paid employees. They don't care about money since it magically shows up every year in the form of a budget.
They pretty much stole the lake that tax payers built and this is going to happen to a lot more lakes. I for one won't ever go back there until things go back to the way they were.

[RMANZO]

All they need to do is get a system in place at all our bodies of water, where something scans your cf# upon coming thru the gate. Then when you go to a different body of water you get re-scanned and it will show instantly if you have been to an infested waterway.. Pretty simple

Exactly!

[mrobinett]

Here in SoCal, It's pretty simple. Certain lakes take each other tags. DVL, Perris, Silverwood and Puddingstone each take each others tags. Castaic and Pyramid take those lakes tags also but those lakes don't take Castaic and Pyramid's tags. If your lakes up there would do something like that, you wouldn't have to get decontaminated at every lake. Castaic and Pyramid take each others tags also.

What happen to just go fishing ?

Are you going to sign up for a surgically implanted micro chip so they know every move you make too?

[monte300]

None of us like it, but I guess it’s the world we now live in now. I store my boat at the delta and fish the delta 100% of the time thank God

[JVGondal]

Are the stripes hitting out there around whiskey?

[MT]

Everyone seems to be assuming that every lake is going to shut down. So far it's just Camanche (Pardee), Berryessa, Melones, Hennessey, and a couple lakes in Nevada County that nobody cares about. Am I missing any?

[monte300]

Are the stripes hitting out there around whiskey?

I don’t know? I’m a fair weather spring through fall guy I don’t fish in the winter. Through the years I haven’t caught many stripers in Whiskey and I never target them. Up until a couple years ago before they sprayed weeds on Empire Cut I caught a fair amount of shaker sized stripers there. They really destroyed the rock banks on Empire when they sprayed.

[JVGondal]

I hardly ever target them either
But I always have a big walking bait rigged on the deck in case I see them busting. It’s a fun getting 10 pounders on topwater
For so many years I use to ignore them and just target the black bass. Not anymore!

[LookoutRanch]

Something I think quite a few people aren’t factoring are the money generated by pleasure boaters on both Melones and Berryessa. Both of those places depend on money in the area to support their economy. ie Pleasure Cove at Berryessa. When wakeboard show up to play and they are turned away and it’s either their moored boats or rentals and the trickle of fishing boats jumping through the hoops, that will get old and they will go someplace else. I for one would like to see what they plan to impart on the boats and ships that have been in Asian waters to decon the China Mussel out. I don’t foresee them hot dipping a cargo ship yet residents will be at the forefront of tackling the mess we didn’t create.

[jiggin4bass]

You tell them RMANZO
I'm dreaming about fishing during my chemo treatment. I still owe you a jig tying lesson. When I'm done with this.

[RMANZO]

I look forewarned to that lesson. Stay strong buddy

[jiggin4bass]

I'll pay you for guild trip on Don Pedro after I'm done with all this. I've got one more trip with Mr. Chemo in two weeks I'm hoping I can get a trip or two in before late feb. Surgery at Stanford medical center.
P.S. Is Blue magic in jigs working up there I'm building a bunch 1/8 1/4 3/8 1/2 oz sizes. I did the same sizes in fire craw.

[RMANZO]

Ya it’s working. The best has been brown pumpkin w/small black flake. Almost a transparent brown. Like the #195 gitzit

[JVGondal]

. I m sure some the guides love it. The advantage having a boat that is ready for a certain body of water most guys can’t just run up to and fish without waiting 30 days. To take clients on a low pressure body of water is ideal for some guides.

[jiggin4bass]

I got that color brown black jig head ?
And by May melones will be going wide open by June there not going to lose there recreation skiers at all and the lake will stay open 24/7 again.

[RMANZO]

I like the black head cuz I throw black super pork w/the brown jig. Killer contrast

Jan 16th is going to be big in Ca. Trump is coming with EO that governor newsome won't able to stop or refuse across the state of ca. The Feds will be here soon with Tom Homan. And the mayor of LA is in trouble along with newsome. Trump 2018 clean up of forest floors through the state fell on deaf ear as the governor refused to do well your looking at it now. Idiot liberals voting to put idiot liberals into power you get what you pay for.

[monte300]

I don’t really understand the situation in the Panama Canal but I wish Trump would stick to improving the economy and cleaning up the borders instead of wasting energy trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico, taking Greenland and wanting to make Canada the 51st state. Focus Trump focus.

[JVGondal]

He’s talking crazy now We’ll see what he tries to pull off

[monte300]

He’s talking crazy now We’ll see what he tries to pull off

I don’t think he’s really gonna do any of that. Maybe it’s a diversionary tactic to keep focus away from him and his billionaire cronies getting richer?

[JVGondal]

Na. I think he genuinely wants to help America
His ways are just questionable sometimes
I think he’s real and not fake just saying what he thinks we want to heat for votes. Certainly not now

I know we don’t agree We can still be friends

[jiggin4bass]

If you read what Trump has said there no Fed money for disaster in CA or for programs that liberal Democrats have implemented. Biden just can't give 100% of the money to LA fire disaster because he doesn't have the money to give ask congress and the senate they run the show. Beside how much money did Biden give North Carolina for disaster relief that would be 0. So guy Trump as backing and CA. Liberals are in trouble. Trump going to come down very hard on this state you can bet on it.
It not crazy it's just facts.

[jiggin4bass]

Monte300 old rich white guys have run this country for over 200 year and that will never change look at your history.

[jiggin4bass]

Plus common sense will prevail in Ca. and that starts with Trump the Feds congress and the senate
Alone with Tom Homan border chief. The idiot liberals politicians in this state are in trouble and things are going to change you can bet on it.

That’s true and things need to change, especially the economy and the borders

Agree JV we can still be friends. We both want things to be better and we both jerk lips for fun!

[jiggin4bass]

All 50 states have to comply with what the president ask if the don't the governors simply will go to jail. It's very simple.

[monte300]

That’s a scary mindset and I hate greasy newsome as much as the next guy. Chairman Trump wants to push everything down to the states when it benefits him.

[jiggin4bass]

I want the governor of all 50 states to be afraid keeps them in check. Don't mess with with the current in coming president. Because they well lose period.

[jiggin4bass]

Now back to jig colors
This chemo has me made one grouchy ol S.O.B.

[monte300]

I want the governor of all 50 states to be afraid keeps them in check. Don't mess with with the current in coming president. Because they well lose period.

That remains to be seen. He’s hated by both parties and will be kept somewhat in check despite his majority in congress

[jiggin4bass]

Remember he has EO power and the Feds backing his that all he needs. Don't kid yourself.
Now that he a convicted felon that really going to make him mean towards the liberal idiots. There one the wrong side of the next four years.

Good point his cabinet is full of like minded whack jobs. Back in 2018 Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen committed exactly the same crime, plead guilty and got three years in prison and three years probation. Why am I not surprised Trump got nothing other than a felony on his record and his DNA in a database?

Good luck in your recovery Jiggin want you back out on the water asap

It’s apparent he knows nothing about a jig

[jiggin4bass]

Another one of JVGondal jokes

[JVGondal]

Not a joke. I know you know your jigs and are great with them
I’m not referring to you to be clear. You can school us on depth and weights

[jiggin4bass]

That is a fact but even i have room the learn you never gain to much knowledge about jig fishing.
