Re: New Melones ......launch ramp Angel's Creek?
I just called the visitor center and they told me Tuttletown now has two docks in the water on middle ramp. Can anyone confirm this that has been up there recently? Thanks

Re: Dead Fish at Don Pedro
I saw this last January at McClure. We came to the ramp to several fish floating belly up after a small tournament. We fizzed the fish that were needing it to help them swim away. After putting the boat on trailer and heading up the ramp the tournament guys were up in the parking lot drinking beer. ...

Re: Basscat, triton or nitro?
Ranger shows prices online now when you build a boat on their web site. I am not sure about BassCat as you would have to call Boatmasters. When you compare equal models they are not that different generally. For Ranger the Comanche line adds a lot to the price over the standard boat.
