Why can’t they use mussel sniffing dogs like they do @ Lake Sonoma and it would save us Fishermen a whole lotta down time? This is getting ridiculous! i believe it’s more about stopping the transfer of the mussel larva which is micro… a big wad of mussels hanging off someone’s transome would be to ...

Anglers press pro teams... took 22 to win weights were on the low side But the pay back was great with 36 boats paid $4000 to the winner. Checked the math-less than 80% pay back which is hardly great for all the sponsors they have- Paying 10 spots on a 36 boat field..... Nobody pays 1....in 3.6

According to that link the golden mussel lives to about 10 meters deep. 30 feet or so ? Every year they draw the water down in all the lakes by that much or more. Won’t that kill them and keep them under control? yes but what about marinas, docks, houseboats, other slipped boats, buoy lines, floati...

Looking at the webpage for Cal Expo it looks like they only rent wheelchairs at the State Fair. Scooters are allowed but it doesn't look like they rent them. Hope this answers your questions Thanks for your help kent.... Not sure if Cal Expo" has them for rent 12 months a year BUT I did rent a...

They won’t close the delta to big to close and way to many boats out there...but I wonder if you are going to have your boats inspected or quarantined... or are they just going to let people transport these mussels on their boats from the delta and hope to stop them at the lakes... lots of lakes in...

So the state had 20 years to enact a program for commercial inspection, failed to do so but quickly put restrictions on recreational boaters access the public waters. Also too they didnt "sneak in" they hitchhiked and the entity responsible for monitoring hitchhikers didnt catch them. Wha...

I think his question was not how many boats fished the tournament he was asking why there weren't alot of big name pro's that weren't fishing this tournament. Not sure what big name weekend pro's he is talking about here in ca. I understand that and I commented that "I too notice several of th...

Does anyone know the individual who runs this nextgen company? They have literally stopped replying to any emails? They used to email back and lie about when it was coming.. but now it’s just silent. Sorry but I am pissed. I have a feeling, and have for awhile, that this is all just some shady game...

This has been an ongoing issue for a lot of people. I personally know more than 10 people waiting on replacements. It’s the same answer every time “2 weeks out” “stuck on the ships” “any day” and that’s if you’re lucky to even get a response. Lots of times it’s zero response regarding the issue. Ho...

Thank you so much to all the folks that have replied and commenting to defend my position on this. It is beyond frustrating and I really appreciate the support. I would accept a refund on the warranty return, but I have been told that is not an option from the company customer service representativ...

Nope, no issue for any customers as none of them left the manufacturing facility which I clearly stated. Beautiful twist though.. Hi Riverguy225, Yes our 36v batteries have been on an extended back order. And yes, back orders suck for all involved. Many of the delays have been unfortunate, for exam...

I would ask for a refund in full. That still no excuse for a product to take that long to be restock. The Covid excuse run out over a year half ago. Where I'm scratching my head is the OP has been waiting 10 months...Nextgen doesn't have any batteries in stock ? I mean.....if they had none in stock...

Hi Riverguy225, Yes our 36v batteries have been on an extended back order. And yes, back orders suck for all involved.

Thank you everyone for the responses, I’m glad it’s not just me. This has been very frustrating. There have been several people I have talked to off line who say they have had issues with NextGen as well.

Ok,,,

Is it, scoop, stab, slide or stick the net under water and let fish swim in ???
What's the program in your boat? Most of the time I prefer the gaff. but I'm a slidescooper all the way !

stickbait

Never scoop at a fish. Have the net out. Have net man hold net under water. Swim the fish into the net. Long as net isn’t moving the fish won’t rush. it’s way better than stabbing at a fish. Huh??? Read Fast Eddie's account of his netting attempt! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh I read it......
