I love the Delta
I am from Southern Cal and the Delta is by far the best largemouth Bass factory in the country and I have fished all over the country. Part of my love for the Delta is that it is so big that you can run away from the crowds. I rarely see boats in the places that I fish and I like that. I have never ...

Re: Ranger Z20 vs. 520
I have run both and I currently run a 2006 Z20 with a 225 Opti XS. Both are great boats and either would be an excellent choice. There is not a huge difference in the rides but the Z is wider and handles the water great much like the 520 does. I think that is boils down to which style you like the b...

I am new to this game. I fished two years as a non-boater and the last five as a boater and I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. It boils down to fisherman being extremely picky and tournament organizations (Directors and owners) being extremely bull headed. It all boils down to marketing and...

What does it mean to be back seated? How can a pro back seat you on a lake like Shasta where there are fish from 0-100 feet?
I would love to hear the story.
Being back seated us a very subjective and easy thing to accuse a Pro of doing.

Shad or Crawdad
Anything shad or crawdad pattern. You want something that runs 0-10 feet.
I just came back from there and the fishing will be tough with 400 anglers on the water. Those Havasu fish don't hold up very well to pressure.
