Records: Peterson, girlfriend spoke often
MODESTO, Calif. — More than 240 calls were made between Scott Peterson and his girlfriend, Amber Frey, during the weeks before and after Peterson's wife, Laci, disappeared, an investigator testified Tuesday.
Peterson and Frey spoke as often as 16 times a day between Nov. 19 and Feb. 19, including calls on Christmas Eve, when Peterson said his wife disappeared while he was fishing, and on Valentine's Day, Stanislaus County investigator Steve Jacobson said. There were very few days when there weren't calls between their phones, he said.
Using cell phone records, Jacobson plotted the calls that Peterson made from his cell phone Dec.
'Redneck Riviera' a haven for redfish
Like most of us in this hectic, modern world, once in a while all the demons get together in my head along with the local traffic, the rude boaters at Lanier and the daily stress of the business end of my chosen occupation.
When this occurs, I usually throw my tent, sleeping bag and a small amount of tackle into the sports car and head south with the words and music of Jimmy Buffett engulfing the tiny compartment. The anticipation of salt air, gentle southerly breezes and the solitude of the Gulf Coast -- plus the chance to go one-on-one with a big redfish -- soon eases all pain.
When a Tree falls in the Forest
Many of us have pondered this popular philosophical conundrum. Fewer, however, have considered a much more interesting question, "When that same tree falls, does it have an ecological impact?" Whether it makes a sound or not, ecologists are beginning to understand the role that dead wood plays in ecosystems. Much of what we are learning is startling. Trees - moribund, dead and decomposing - are cornerstones of ecosystem structure and function. We now understand that a tree only begins to fulfil its ecological contract once it dies. We've dubbed the process the dead wood cycle. As ecologists, we are listening!

The Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving are traditionally thebiggest shopping days of the year. Traditionally, with either-sex deer and duck seasons open and fall fresh and saltwater fishing at its peak, it's one of the biggest weekends for sportsmen as well.
Trying to find time to both hunt and fish and shop is tough, so I've put together a few non-traditional gifts that beat the typical hunting socks or fishing pole by a mile and will get your shopping off to a great start.
I only have to think back to a pre-fishing trip cookout at Grand Isle to know what wish list item number one will be.
11/27 - Crabbers planning to stage protest at commission meeting

Judge: DNA Can Be Used in Peterson Case
MODESTO, Calif. - A pathologist who examined Laci Peterson's badly decomposed body testified Monday that he could find no evidence of wounds and could not determine what weapon may have been used to kill her.
Testifying for the prosecution at a preliminary hearing for Scott Peterson, forensic pathologist Dr. Brian Peterson, no relation to the couple, said Laci Peterson's neck, head, forearms and one of her feet were missing.
He attributed the poor condition of the body to exposure to saltwater and sea creatures.
Dr. Peterson said that her abdomen was worn away, but that there was no evidence she had given birth.

California Jack Smelt
Obviously, I'm brain-damaged from winter steelheading. Blood fell from my brain to warm up legs stuck in frigid flows on days when your line freezes to your guides. Readers mature enough to remember the 20 years I wrote from Northern California know that already. Youngsters can take my word for it.
Why else should I "lust in my heart" for jack smelt when I live in Northern Idaho halfway between the 20 pound B-run steelhead in the Clearwater River and the 20 pound pike and landlocked salmon in Lake Coeur d'Alene? Why, when I wrote North Tahoe Trout, don't I feel the need to try for big browns on the Truckee River?

Sunday, November 23: Lure sells for whale of a price
By Jack Horan brKnight Ridder News Service
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A collector from South Carolina paid more than $100,000 for an 1859 copper fishing lure, a record price for an American fishing collectible at auction.
The buyer, Tracey Shirey of Pomaria, outbid 18 others for the one-of-a-kind, 10-inch-long Haskell minnow at Boxborough, Mass., earlier this month.
Shirey, 33, called the saltwater lure the "Holy Grail of fishing lures" because of its age, rarity and uniqueness. The lure sits in a safe-deposit box.
His bid of $92,000 beat 18 others, according to John Ganung, owner of Lang's Sporting Collectables of Waterville, N.Y.

Tackle Considerations For Southern California Anglers
Friday, June 27, 2003
By Zack Thomas
With the myriad species and techniques available in SoCal waters, you could easily spend a thousand dollars buying rod-and-reel outfits ideally suited to every fishing situation. And some fishermen do just that, amassing quivers of 15 or 20 highly specialized outfits. With a little forethought, though, you can equip yourself to tackle most of SoCal's gamefish with only a few versatile setups.
