There’s gonna be a lot of poor etiquette for awhile.
    ugh..ya. Yuba is packed too, but ill row it and can always find a spot or two that has a bit of elbow room. At 8:30 in the AM literally EVERY SINGLE run on Putah was slammed.

    yep...skip it. Too much pressure on those poor fish anyhow.

    That may have been true back in the day, but small town rural America is exactly where the meth and opioid crises are most rampant. These folks may not fish, but they need money, and understand the worth of tackle. A rod vault on the roof rack, or a car covered with fishing stickers is like ringing a dinner bell.

    Just last week my brother was on a semi-hidden pullout of a small blue line road sleeping in the back of his SUV when the interior lights went on. Some tweeker was sliding into the front seat. My brother yelled, but before he could pull out his gun, said tweeker had leaped back into the passenger seat of the already rolling getaway car.

    Why yell if you're pulling "protection"? Let the "click" do your talking.

    Redding is prime example of that

    I asked the same question. Being half awake, his first thought was that it was a bear or perhaps just a raccoon that had figured out how to get in the vehicle. He is in a MUCH better place today than if he had shot someone. Right now he would be at a police station or in the DA's office endlessly explaining himself. Instead, he is out fishing. But, yeah, the bad guy is out free too.
