Bryan - I have a Champion, pre-fishing has not been an issue!! Robert Yeah so do I. Love the ride and fishing platform of my champion. I was there on Monday it was ugly out there. The lake patrol kicked me off the lake at 1:30. He said he was going to follow me in to make sure I made it okay. LOL.....

I just purchased a cul-em-rite and love it. I've used it at Clear Lake, Don Pedro and Mc Clure. At Mc Clure it sure saved me time culling fish without a doubt. I love this thing At first I always used a balance beam but even a balance beam that has been used often becomes heavy on one side. The cent...

I bet ABA at Mc Clure is going to draw more then 40 boats.

delicious tacos for sure!

My questions are for each person When pre-fishing on Clear Lake and the California delta during winter, spring, summer and fall seasons what is your most confident search lures and techniques for each season? How long do you stay at any one area of the lake or river after you find fish? How do you f...

What are your thoughts on the best 6lb and 8lb line?

To me Fishing is free time, the good Lord does not take fishing time as used time from this world. "A Fisherman's Prayer" God, grant that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it come to my last cast I then most humbly pray. When in the Lord's safe landing net. I'm peacefully asl...

Back in December of 1986, I was reading the Modesto Bee Sports Hunting and Fishing page written by Ron Willson. Ron had said if you want to come fish with some of the best fishermen come to New Melones and sign up for a Pro-Am tournament with Nor-Cal Bass. After deep discussion with my wife and savi...

No waves over the bow of my boat, I was in a Champion. Saw many boats going real slow riding those waves on the way in around 1:30 PM. Ran straight into the waves then quartered to get accross to the other side. Ride was awesome if you like rough water. You have to love a Champion's ride. I had a bl...

Attention Fellow fisherman! After having a fishing day of a life time, I thought I would share some fishing info with you all. Black Dog Baits lures are BIG fish catching mo-jo's.

Fishing is like golf. Itâ€™s the integrity â€œhonestyâ€

This sounds like a great idea Steve. I'm sure you would have several boats showing up since there is really no "bass Clubs" around this area. A meeting is also a great idea. Jack Hamlin or Ed Dicky would have phone numbers of the Merced bass club people. I might even have Jack's phone numb...

Try the Berserkbaits foot ball jig. They have many proven colors plus they are hand tied in the USA. Check out their web site @ www.berserkbaits.com I really like the 3/4 oz jigs and the 1/2 oz jigs. I've found that the fish will react to the 3/4 oz jig with crushing reaction bite because it moves m...

With most boats you can open your live well valve then start your big motor, place motor in reverse then throttle up some. This will push water into your live well with the motor. This will also help fill your live wells up faster if needed.

This is an easy fix, fish more often; itâ€™s just like anything you do, the more you do it the less you hurt. This schedule below helps me prepare for multiple day tournaments. The schedule is a two week cycle. I'm sure it will work for everyone. Start off with: Monday fish with your girlfriend Tues...

C&C marine ROCKS!

Thanks again for the awesome customer service.

Just one more note:......

don't go to the other guys. if you love your girl (boat) like i do, only bring your girl to C&C marine in Modesto to have repairs and PM's done.

Today while changing my prop I noticed a noise while I was rotating it. I called C&C marine and Greg said to come on in and we will check it out. After just a few minutes I'm back on the road with good news. Awesome customer service! My hats off to C&C marine. Greg and Jason ROCK! Thanks guy...

I have found this year fishing to be below normal for size and numbers from years past.

Any ideas of as why? Drought? Weird spring? Lakes dropping to fast during the fall causing fish to suspend? Lack of bait fish? Fish kill because of water draw down?

What's your .50 cents?

You have to read the ask Gary Dobyns response to today's question. I do have to say Gary did hit this one right on the head of the nail....

Turn your sensitivity down to around 70%-80% this might help. Make sure only one unit is on.

All else fails turn both units off and stick your 8' flippin rod into the water and if you feel the bottom you will know how deep it is.

Check your transducer wire where your trolling motor turns. Possibly your cable is worn down in this area. What happens after a while of use the wire becomes frail or broken because the wire is too tight or not set up right. The twisting motion will break the cable. I had a problem with the unit shu...
