I have an La Traveler that has set up for 2 yrs with a full tank of gas. What is the best way to dispose of it? In the past, I have mixed fresh gas with some old and gone with it. Thoughts on mixing in some Stabil water remover, pumping out half that gas and refilling with fresh ETHANOL FREE gas???

Relatively new to fishing. I have been reading the forum and it seems like the best place to bank fish is along HWY 1. I have never been down there, is there a specific spot. or do you just park your car in the side of the rode and fish. Any tips would greatly appreciated. Thanks!
