I have 5 Shimano Sahara 2500 Spinning reels, and they are starting to have the same problem of locking up and hard reeling under a load. It seems this is a common problem. I am thinking of replacing them with something else in the 80 to 120$ range. What is your suggestions if you had to get new spin...

These baits are sold out.

Custom painted Jigging spoon 1 1/4oz. 68mm Features: The first thing you'll notice about this Jigging Spoon is the realistic shape and the detailed finish. The shape and design of these spoons ensures maximum flutter on the fall, with the thin edges and the correct weight distribution. The metal has...

GREAT JOB !!!!!! Did you really do all that work in the garage??????? My wife would freak out!! I think the icing on the cake is the lights. That is not a boat you would go out and beat up on the delta, it should almost be in a car show or something. Winner all the way.

Finally we have the Bass Masters Elite here and if you want to watch it on TV, it was playing as "NHRA Today" this morning,.. so I started recording,..... then it quit......still playing Bass Masters but now it was as a different show,.. so I hit record again. The only one we really give a...

I am thinking about replacing my 1989 90 hp Mercury outboard with one of the new Merc Optimax or the 4 stroke in the same hp. It is going on a 17ft Skeeter. Pricing is close and all they need to do is install an adapter, I can use my original controlls. I am leaning toward the Optimax. The 4 is a li...

I knew there would be some issues with the actual size and weight of my bass. All I can say is I did not have a scale with me but a guy that was close by let me use his digital scale. He was fishing in a pontoon boat and is actually the one that took that pic with my cam phone. He had with him a 20l...

Alton Jones wins the classic. Sorry KVD

Just wanted some info, I am looking into some units for the front of my boat. I was looking at the Eagle 480, the 500c and the Lowrance X96. All are between 199.00 to 380.00. Bass Pro and Cabela's seem to have the best prices. I am looking to use it for dropshotting and wanted to see my bait with th...

There are Thursday turkey shoot style turneys out of Tracy Oasis Marina on Grant line cannale held weekly. You can call the marina for infromation if you are interested.

You can find the stump jumper tails at the Hook in Oakley they have them in big bags and they are very reasonable. They sell other Bass Pro stuff also.Check out the site. http://www.hookproshop.com

The bite seemed to turn on over the weekend for guys trolling bb rebels. I am still not really good at this yet but I am starting to figure it out. I started with 1oz weight to get it down and then went to 2oz and got a 9lb striper. The bbr was white with a red head. I just started to hit bottom the...

I went through several float tubes when I fount the Creek Company ODC 420, and the Trout Unlimited Tojiak. I really love both tubes and use the ODC 420 in the winter, you sit up really high and that will keep you warmer in the winter. The Tojiak I really like in the summer, you have more storage and...

I am planning a trip to Folsom to do some camping with the family and wanted to know whare the best place is. I will need to charge the boat batteries after a day or two and will be using a tent. I havent been there in a couple of years now and wanted to know how low the water is and if all the ramp...

You will love it, when the sun goes down the bite turns on. Just dont forget your bug spray. Home depot and Wal-Mart both have a head light that you put on and strap it to your hat., it works beter than the ones that clip on to the bill of your hat. There only 14.00 and that will be the best 14.00 y...

I am agluttin for punishment but, I am going to go out tomorrow and try it again. I will try what Fish Chris said and I will have some different colors. I dont think I will see that many this time, but it seemed like they were on the spawn again. I did see some girls on beds and I was thinking the s...

I went out on Sunday and threw that damm swimbait until my arm felt like it would fall off. Here's the deal, I raised up about 10 to 11 bass that went 7-9 lb range but none of them would eat the bait, they just followed just behind and one looked like he was going to eat it but turned at the last se...

Here is the real breakdown

boat 20.00

truck 40.00

launch 10.00

NOT HAVING TO LISTEN TO ALL THE THINGS I DIDNT DO DURING THE WEEK.........PRICELESS !!!!!

Whare is the best place to park and is it really packed and crazy whare the action is??? Never been there before.

Really dissapointing this year. They combined the hunting section with the fishing section and it sucked. "Bubba" and the boys were not happy located with all the flyfishing "Yupies" at one point I thaught there was going to be a fight. I wasted my time bringing my kid to catch a...

Just posted on the delta reports page about the seals in Disco Bay. I wanted to know if anyone ( or Cooch ) can explain why there are no fish at all in the bay??? No bait stripers or nothin. All the fish cant run out at the same time. Whare do they go???? will this mess up the striper season????? Ar...

Hay Mike D: If you are close to Waltons Pond I can give you all the lead you want, I have about 200 lb and need to get rid of it. I was poring like a mad man, but not to much now. It is really good quality lead, low temp and clean. E-mail me at rdodds1660@aol if you are interested.

Have any of you launched out of Tracy Oasis Marina???? I might have to go to Tracy on Sat and I might bring my bass boat.
Is it a large ramp or small and is there a line of ski daddys in the way?? So close to tracy I bet this place gets busy. Thanks for the help.

"Hands down".. it will be Orewood. Two years or so ago I got off the water just before peak entertainment hr. I got a cold beer and sat in the bleachers to wach the fun. I heard a loud rumble and saw one of those "Pickle Fork" style boats come rumbling in with what looked like a ...

Seems like every year some pore sole dies out on the Delta....who will it be this year???
The launch ramps should be full of our friends that havent checked anything since last year.........dead batt. no gas, bad gas ect. Should be fun to wach again.

This reel looks a lot like the old Shimano Curado. For the price this looks like a good reel for the $$$
Any one have one???? Do you like it...hate it....or think "man I wish I did'nt buy that one"?????
