One speed measurement site is http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

My comcast connection shows:

19.81 Mbps downloading (!!!!!!)
and
2.56 Mbps uploading

Wow... that's FAST!

I don't see a download speed problem here, but I do see a slow response issue, like the webserver hosting this site is on an overloaded shared host. That's not at all uncommon.


Dang, that IS fast. Who is your provider??

I think herding stripers would be akin to herding cats.

that's really fast, I ran speedtest just now and got 14.42 Mbps down and 2.33 up, not bad for ATT U-verse Max plus which is supposed to be 18 Mbps down. (You never get advertised speed anywhere.)

I access this site from several different locations and multiple computers, the page opening since the joomla software was started has been slow. We have a tier 3-T1 connection at the office that they get free from T-Mobile for allowing T-Mobile to install a cell tower on the property, that connection is regularly at 50/20 Mbps, if I have to download ANYthing, I do it at the office, (even if they do use Mac's). It is just as slow there.

My iPhone connects on 3G at 1.3 Mbps down/1.15 up and on wifi it gets just as fast as my home computer ~15 Mbps. Speedtest has a free App for your iPhone.

not to mention that it likely constitutes "Harassing wildlife"
I know Rangers who'll cite you for that offense......

We could fish for them, though...

thanks Shawn, that helped a little bit. Still doesn't fix the slow part. I;ve tried it on

Nice bass in your profile pic! Kayaks are the best way to get around and fish. I have two, a OK Trident 15 and a Hobie Pro Angler.( I'm fat and my dogs like to ride on back, I need more flotation than your Escape ) I was talking to UC earlier in the week, we should all get together and have a Striper fish-out on Lake Mendocino this fall. Ed K has a kayak too. With five or ten kayak anglers, we could herd the Stripers toward a cove and beat on them.

I like the Trident. I'm thinking about the Trident 11 for my next boat. My Cobra is 10-5 which is perfect for what I need. I think the Tri 11 is 11-4 so it's only another foot or so longer. Shorter boats are a little easier to muscle around in current and I use mine in rivers a lot so I need to keep the length down a bit. I HAVE to have an A hatch to store rods so the Cobra's and OK's are the only boats I've considered. I can get several rods inside my current boat, even one piece casting rods. I like that rod pod idea on the OK's, it would be nice to be able to get inside without getting out of the boat. I have a little round hatch in front of the seat but it's pretty much worthless if you need anything bigger then a fly box. I'm up for stripers sometime although I'd probably bring mostly casting rods.

I'm gonna bring live minnows, topwater lures, jigs, rattletraps and flies. I take no prisoners with Stripers, it's WAR.

Ocean Kayak came out with a new Rod Pod Cover this fall, I am going to upgrade my cover. I would consider the Trident 13, it is the best all around fishing kayak on the market, fast yet maneuverable with tons of storage and flat floors so you can stand up and fish easily (drawback of the T-15).

Hey Ed, if five to ten kayaks all fish a school of fish from one direction and push them toward a common shore, I don't see how DFG could call that "harrassing." It is similar to a deer drive which is completely legal.

I didn't sat it would stand up in court.... Just that you'd get written up, cited, and made to stop doing it. I suppose you think DFG needs a search warrant to search your house or car....

BADGES- WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' BADGES!



I had a warden that I thought was going to do a full body cavity search once. ( he was getting out the latex gloves). They should need a warrant to do that.

Does SLO need a warrant????

Personally I think we should get skirt back. That would cause a lot more posting, just in rebuttles. Besides I miss watching him blaming W for everything that is wrong in the world.
The Big O should be a dream come true to him.

No that could get some more posting going on!
