You are welcome to try it out, although the side of a levee isn't the best place to get in & out of the thing. I probably won't be able to make the next couple of tourneys but I would like to fish Rancho Seco with you guys. Still need to work the bugs out on a few things...pulling the fish bag around all day was like dragging a drift sock behind the boat. My arms are SO sore today! But it was a good day on the delta -- not too hot, not too windy, and I caught some fish.
