Re: West Coast Bass Tournaments Concerns!

Have to agree completely w Mitch. 100% Bass always charged, and issued lie detectors tests. Took them myself. They averaged 100 boats and I think several of us fished due to that test. Sadly, cheating goes on WAY more then people realize. Only 2 i'm aware of have been caught in the valley in 20 plus...

Re: WWBT Shasta Teams !!! Boat Count | Blast Off | Weigh In | Off Limits and More

It's a disappointing to see check in end at 6:00, instead of 8 like last year. There was still a line at 8:00 last year. I know several teams, including us, that can't make it because of that 2 hr change. We have a 6 hr drive and so do many others. Now we all have to deal with that tmrw and It's goi...

Re: New Bass Circuit - New Jen

I feel it just to say what I heard. Granted it's second hand info, but it comes from 2 guys that i've known and fished with/against for 20ish years. They fished a couple of their tourneys this past season I was told told a couple horror stories. It's enough to keep me away.

Re: 2018 WWBT WIld West Bass Trail Schedule Released

There should however be an * next to qualification rules. They changed it this year after all 4 events were completed, and many wasted all that $ prefishing to make the the top 50, so I'm sure they think they have the right to do so every year. #yourrulesmeannothing

Re: WWBT Delta Team May 6th

I have no complaints over a fabulously run circuit so far this year. That said, IMO, losing an hour, the best hour, is tough to swallow. With so many boats we've blasted 45 minutes later on 2 occasions already(luck of the draw) Many of us anglers travel long distances, and with the costs($) it would...

Re: WWBT Clearlake teams yes/no/reschedule???

I don't see anyone being impatient in any way. I think there is just a lot going on for all involved, and most are wanting/needing answers. Clear Lake will not happen in March that is now a given. I am just hoping the rumor going around that this tournament gets moved to New Melones is just that.......

Good post. At this point I think you have to reschedule. As you can tell by the number of teams, many are traveling hours to fish the tournaments and to prefish the weekend before. With regards to making hotel reservations and time off of work for many, I think this needs to be officially cancelled ...

I think the answer to your just personal preference. I've seen, and used all models of HDS units. I don't find the newer units any more user friendly, and they certainly don't help you catch more fish. They have more bells and whistles and are probably "cooler" for show in tell purposes th...
