Re: Pole spear build questions.
What was the OD on that spear I had you make for me all those years ago? I honestly can't remember but I do remember it was pretty skinny.

Re: Quick Yak Question
Some lakes have a SOT only rule. IIRC Skinner has that rule. Most lakes have a Quagga/zebra mussel inspection requirement before they'll let you launch. If your kayak is wet, it usually won't pass.
