I think I can top you all. 2 artificial hips, one un-repairable hip fracture, permanent spine damage, 70 years. l However, I feel great. I did discover a little known Fish and Game deal and talked my surgeon into signing. I now have a lifetime free California fishing license for the disabled. All you other walking wounded in Cal should look into this!

Bill,

Great news on the Lifetime Free CA Fishing License,

     https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Licensing/Statistics


Checking the CA Fish & Wildlife website, in 1970, their first year of yearly fee statistics, show $3 for an annual resident fishing license,  I began fishing with my Dad in 1962 at Folsom Lake.  ONLY wonder what a LIFETIME fishing license cost would have been then???  Paying $47 currently, and the cost is only going up.

CA Fishing License Fees from 1970 to 2015 is attached for your pleasure reading.

Funny how it went up more from 80-90 then any other decade. More than tripled. I guess they figured out they had something good. Oh, and that is also about the time Ca emissions equipment priced cars out of the market of most and the greenies decided eating was bad.

Child of the 70's here. I went from hand writing smog certificates at my auto shops for a 25 to 50% emissions reductions on cars to buying 1 $20K smog machine to buying 3 $30k smog machines , to out of business due to bureaucracy and licensing in California...DFG or BAR it all means money $$$...My mini rant.

As a kid in LA on a playground in the 60's I recall great lung pain breathing deep and stinging eyes from the smog. The mountains couldn't be seen except maybe for 20 days a year. In the mid 70's at the top of the 10.000+ft Mt. Baldy you couldn't see 50' through smog.

Moved back to LA in 2008 for 5 years and it's all changed. Blue sky and mountains 300+ days a year. Something worked.

Trip is just around the corner...

Here are some of the jigs I hope to use for the big Ling cod, on two added teaser p-line jigs Alan gave out on the 2015 SOA charter, and a large chrome krocodile on the largest swimbait. 

I am going to add a skirt to the 10" grub tail and the scampi, going with blue/purple look. I will post more pics when the two are finished.
