If your RV is fully self contained, clearlake state park - kelsey creek - has ample space (no water/power) as well as very good launch ramp and plenty of docks to keep the boat in the water. Launch once when you get there and take the boat out when leaving. Photos: https://images.search.yahoo.com/se...

Why not launch the boat using the RV?
If it is towable with your RV, then it should be launchable.

Here is the phone number to customer service at the Charger Factory (573) 765 3265, give them a call and they will answer all your questions.

You should be able to call the factory and get that info from them. They are real friendly people. Another option would be the Basscat Margay. Rod locker is in the center and specifically made to handle 8+ t rods. The width of the boat is 90 inches and can get a narrow trailer (the boat will sit up ...

You should also verify the trim gauge calibration. Just because the gauge reads 1/4 - doesn't mean the trim is 1/4. Need to check with Marc mechanic for calibration, unless you have digital gauges - then you can calibrate it yourself by following the instructions for the digital gauge. Here is how t...

I prefer the DECOY 120 hook, which is similar to the Gami but a better hook. It has the clip below that I tie the DL leader to with a double overhand knot. Then attach the DS weight. The knot prevents the upper ed from sliding out. I also use a line 2bl test lower than my main line (ie 6lb for main ...

The fluctuations you see on the graph are only between 1 to 2 inches. With the gauge being near lakeport at the upper end, the fluctuations you are seeing is due primarily to the wind (and sometimes waves). The water moves around with the wind up there like sloshing in a bathtub. I use to live in th...

Didn't you just add/upgrade your talon's. If the fuse in the TM head is ok and the interference you are seeing started after your upgrade, you might want to double check any new wiring. In a lot of cases interference is related to grounding so verify that the grounding for your electronics is comple...

Check out Angles Camp RV park, they have cabins for rent as well (2 day minimum).
There entrance is just past the turnoff to Melones.

I think you may need to bring your own bedding, but they are very reasonable.

If you have weather underground on your phone, search for clearlake oaks. Scroll to the bottom and there is a webcam there. I think some of the other weather underground stations around the lake have a webcam as well. They are not "real time", but time lapse - still shows the current condi...

7.5 is "normal full pool", thus you would set it to -5. Since the readings are instantaneous the .08 difference (about .9 of an inch) are due to the effect wind has on the lake. Sensors and and readings are taken in the Lakeport area. Waves will effect the readings as opposed to readings o...

Currently hwy 20 is still closed (with mandatory evacuations in place) from hwy 53 all the way to upper lake roundabout due to the fires. Police and nat. guard are blocking entrance.

I wonder if they are going to get a waiver for the 6 hour rule on the 15th and 16th. Or move the dates to the 11th-14th, which would also allow the finalists to travel to Washington for pre-fish on 17-19? It would be interesting if they had to fish under the 6 hour rule trying to make the 90 minute ...

Cory ethanol eats up (corrodes) the inside of the older rubber fuel lines, especially if it hasn't been run much before you gt the boat. Its kinda like "dry rot" on tires that have been sitting around for a while. Once you start using them (Tires/fuel lines), they will shortly fail and sep...

Catmantwo

Check your fuel line hose to make sure they are ethanol resistant. If they are solid black, they need to be replaced immediately. They need to be either black with a blue stipe, or the newer grey ones - which should be marked ethanol resistant. I think the good ones would be marked type A or B. Your...

This is what most of the streets in the (new) Keys looks like. The gutters drain into the sewer system and the water district pumps them to the water treatment plant (up hill) and it cannot keep up with the rain/runoff.

Clearlake Cache Creek outflow history: Flow tests were conducted during the winter of 1937-38 to determine what would happen if there was not a dam on Cache Creek.

Something most people should to it check the air pressure in your tires (boat and truck). When temps drop into 30's or less air pressure goes down. With the road conditions we have here, the lower pressures will add some "bounce" to the trailers when towing resulting in excessive tire wear...

Derrick, I have a inferno 702 ML with very little usage. I'll take 65 for it.

Currently FLW rules do not state a maximum length on rods. There is no mention of length restrictions in the WWBT and CTT rules states 9 ft rods max. Not sure about the other circuits you mentioned. Seems like everyone thinks BASS rules apply to all tournaments. Just a reminder to always read the ru...

Not sure if there is a regulation against it.
Here is a convient way to do it and track them by using a "kit".

They sell kits and lets you input the info and will also email you if someone else catches the fish and reports it.

53 is closed from 20 to 29, so redbud is out (unless you want to go around borax lake.

Oaks is still open as is Lucerne - launching should be no problem. Plenty of smoke (an smell) but that will depend on which way the wind is blowing.

First thing to check on the oil leak: Remove cowling and check the oil reserve tank by the motor. It has a screw on cap (and needs to be pressurized). Check for any oil near this and then verify that the screw on top is "very" tight. If it's tight and no oil residue near it, then check all...
