Lance, I entered my first pro am as a pro during the last AC event on Oroville. After fishing as an am for several years, AC, Stren, and Bassmaster I finally decided to move to the front of the boat. I, like a lot of anglers went into my first event as a co angler with very high expectations of my b...

Deep, clear clean lake fish are a must in order to avoid the fishy taste. For spots, LM's, striper, and Trout this is my favorite recipe: Filet Dip in an egg wash Dip in seasoned bread crumbs Fry in olive oil till golden brown "cooked" Lightly layer one side with Chili Garlic Sauce Pour a ...

Lippy, sent you a PM.

Yes Tom that's me and I couldn't agree with you more about our two draws. It was also nice meeting you as I have seen your name all over the place but had yet to meet the man himself.

Take Care,

Jarod

Until this event I had been up to Oroville only two times and that was in the back of the boat. This event marked my pro debut; not knowing the lake at all I fished north one day and then south the next day. I had found fish in both areas, not one day of practice did I boat a fish over two pounds. I...

Hey Chris,

My high school baseball coach used to have us put a hand full of corn kernels in our mouths and then spit them out one at a time while trying to hit them with a broom stick.
Your ice cube idea is great, your son must be one heck of a contact hitter/slugger.

I thought I would give you guys an update on our schools fishing club. Every year our numbers have been growing, this year I was expecting roughly the same number as last year. What ended up happening is that I have between thirty and forty kids signed up between the ages of 6-14. I may have to move...

Beware, when fabricating these clips make sure not to make them fit too snug as they can be a bear to get off when it's cold outside.

Mick, Enjoyed the story, my father is only 57 but I can swear he thinks he's 107. He taught me how to fish although, now I think to myself "I can't believe this guy taught me how to fish!" I do cherish every day we get to spend out on the water and your story reminded me of our many outing...

Nipples, I did the same exact thing once while on pad in Whites, but as I passed over the sea lion I actually felt my hull go over the top of him, the engine missed him. About power pro stopping a sea lion, "no way!" I was with a buddie once and he hooked a sea lion out in middle river on ...

Today while fishing on the river I was using my new reel which has a bait clicker. I missed several fish that seemed to drop my bait after I allowed them to run with the clicker on. I got to thinking that maybe the clicker sends a vibration back through the line causing them to drop the bait? Just c...

I'm not sure when, but I do remember Dom The Hog Hunter stirring the pot daily and I'll never get that Crossbow reference out of my mind.

Your right Cooch and I thank all of those who responded. I didn't realize when I asked the question that each individual body of water can have a different set of laws. That in itself answers most of the questions I have.

Thanks Again,

Does anyone know where I can find information on the laws that surround being a dock owner in California?

Thanks,

Have any of you guys been watching this, I'm really pulling for K9 although S. Forbes looks unstopable. So far there have been some really good fights can't wait to see who wins the whole thing.

Is there ever going to be a veterans only tournament? I would love to see something like that held locally.

Not at all Dave, actually I get out more now with my new rig

I get BASSWEST, Bassmaster, and FLW only because I fished a tournament with them or their sister organization. Honestly, I get more from visiting forums like this than I could ever get by reading a magazine. I really don't see a future in magazines as technology is enabling us all to access the inte...

I have to admit, I grew up playing madden and still buy the game every year it comes out. I don't get online as much as I have in the past mostly because of cheating but was wondering if their were any nutcases out there who play? I'd love to get a few games in, man I love football season!

Do you think Shamrock can pull out a win? I personally think Ortiz is just too strong and young, Shamrock looked great in his last few matches but tired really fast. I'm also really glad I'm not going to have to pay to see this match as I paid for their last match up and was very dissapointed when i...

Ok, I'm not a raider fan but do like their backup qb Walter. Their defense also looks really well, I'm curious to know if you guys think the raiders will make the playoffs this year based on their pre season performances?

Over the past few years I have noticed an increase in boats where someone was obviously living out of. This last weekend while visiting one of my usual spots someone was tied up in the back of the cove, had put home made five mile buoys out and was obviously not moving for some time as there were at...

Have you tried Paradise Point Marina, they are located along Bishop Cut and I see rentals going out of there all the time. Here's a link that I found.

Just curious, when a tackle company comes out with a new product such as these new hooks, do they sometimes give anglers on thier pro staff the signature when little if any input was actually provided by the angler/anglers?

Kings Island is probably the least used between the two. I would caution anyone trying to lauch out of Kings that it's probably one of the worst launches on the Delta. The launch is at a terrible angle and if trying to launch alone, it could be a challenge.

Once while at New Melones I saw three guys coming in from a day of fishing. One of the guys went up and got the truck and trailer and put it in position to load the boat. The two other guys stayed in the boat while driving it on to the trailer. Everything seemed fine until the guy who hooked up the ...

How many times have you guys hooked up the boat in the morning, drove to the gas station and while filling up someone asks you, " Going Fishing!" :idea: I also can't stand it when I'm at a gas station and someone decides to climb over my trailer hitch instead of walking around. :evil: Hope...

Dan, Thank you very much for the kind words but it's because of guys like the ones contributing to this forum who made the fishing club possible.

In the past two years I have fished as an am three times, my first being an anglers choice, second being a bass elete event, and my third being a stren series event on the delta. All the pro's that I fished with were great guys but now as I look back I do believe I had unrealistic expectations of th...

Rich the marketing part of the new baits available today is a whole different animal. I was talking to my wife this morning after viewing a fishing show on swimbaits and it just hit me,"Are the baits today better than the fishermen?" There just seems like a lot more highly effective baits ...

JGB

It seems like over the years bait companies have developed more and more highly effective easy to use baits. I personally feel that this has done a lot of good for our sport aiding those of lesser skill, but also feel that it has taken some of the skill/fun out of fishing. I am curious to see what y...

I would like to thank all you nutcases who helped our school fishing club over the past few years. Recently I received a phone call from Bassmaster senior writer Louie Stout and he was interested in doing an article for one of our members Alvaro Munoz.

I have a couple rods that I really like, just wish the handles were a little smaller in diameter. Is there an easy way to shave them down some without destroying the cork?

Thanks,

Now's the time to film a possibly pig being caught on western bass tv. I for one would absolutely love to see Cooch or any of the other big sticks catch a few big ones. Some swimbait fish would be awesome to watch and bed fishing techniques would benefit alot of us who have had a rough spring.

Never had the problem because those clips always would fall off and I never could get them to stay on the fish once put in the livewell. Have you modified them at all?

I usually don't throw blades with braid although I'm sure there are people who do. When throwing blades I have my highest percentage of backlashes especially if there is a good headwind. If you have ever gotten a backlash while using braid, it's no the easiest thing to pick out. I also don't trust u...

I was fortunate enough to fish the first elite event as a co angler at Amistad. Each day I saw Ike being approached by fans just about wherever he went. After each days weigh in while a lot of the bigger named pro's seemed to disappear Ike stayed the longest making sure to talk to all his fans, take...

Does anyone know where I can purchase a Bass necklace? I've seen them before but can't remember where. It's not a gold necklace but plastic I believe that has a bunch of Bass figurines attached to it. It's for some kids at school who will be graduating soon.

How about instead of transporting fish back to their original location somehow regulating the amount of tournaments held out of specific areas for example 25% N,S,E, and West.
