There are little dollies made expressly for this issue (I think for cars originally). I don't remember the brand name but I think there are several brands some more expensive than others. A fellow I fished with last year bought some and said they work perfectly. They are a much simpler solution than...

That's great unless you don't have Comcast (Verizon) is this available or scheduled on any other cable system or online podcast, etc?

adman

Man you have a great eye. Super photos.

adman

Yup good point. But they have a greater number of fisherman too I think. I suppose it is a pointless argument. They are all either good, well-connected or both.

adman

Kinda have to disagree with you Elf, KVD if memory serves has never done particularly well in the west. Don't know how much of it is his style of fishing, his network of helpers isn't as strong out here, or what, but my guess is he'd be middle of the pack also-ran on mead, probably havasu as well. N...

It's called the Raptor Cap. I got it on ebay they have them for a bunch of different units. Works great. I highly recommend it

adman

Getting an 1198 and selling my 997. Works perfectly all the latest software updates.
No transducer (although when I get my 1198 I will have an extra which could be included) no power cord (same story). I will also include the sun shield which is a must!
$1000.

This is one of those deals that sounds suspiciously good.

In answering your question re: Humminbirds - they have NONE of the mentioned problems. Plus they have without a doubt THE BEST customer service people and policies.

I know this will start an argument and it's not meant to but Lowrance is dead.

adman

Without a doubt and with a bunch of lab tests as proof, the "fishin fool" knot which is similar but much stronger than the San Diego knot, find it here NorthAmericanFishing.com It works great on every line from fluor to braid. Not that hard to tie and you will know if you tied it correctly...

PULEESE bring back the old classified. They were much more efficient and user friendly.

I think Brian is showing everyone we need new, young ambitious blood running tournaments. He is doing amazing things and the turnout at his tournaments will be proof.
Finally someone gets it.

adman

As Bailey said he screwed up. I'm not as fortunate as so many on this board. I have screwed up plenty in my day (not fishing, more important stuff than that). Luckily, my friends and people who have known me over the years have said, "okay, you screwed up you know it, we know it, now let's get ...

adman

I don't know if it is true. What it says about the guy is...he's smart enough to seek out one of the best Castaic fisherman in recent times and learn from him.

adman

Lord knows Elf you've got a whole lot more time on that pond than I do, so if you say that plant will do some good...great. I hope we have enough big fish in there to take advantage of them. The water diversion thing still has me worried. Sounds like you lost you partner to Cachuma! But at least he ...

adman

And that trout plant, basically a "tourist trout" plant (most too big for bass food), only cost $60,000. Add that to the new $100,000+ barbed wire fence in the Wadleigh Arm and you know where your money is going. Oh, and the general consensus amongst the people involved is, the lake will N...

My first AC ProAm and I was knocked out by the level of professionalism, attention to detail and effort to make everyone feel welcome by Hutch and Bill Cook. No org, no matter how big could do a better job. The two fellows I fished with, John Wick and Billy Skinner, both terrific fisherman, were a r...

adman

I have several, 1 spinning, 2 bait, and I like them. It took some getting used to the guides, look and sound funny, but overall the rods are great.

adman

You might want t check and make sure you are bringing the tag, once you do the wraps, back thru the loop in the same direction you put it thru before you started the wrap...that's clear as mud...let's say the loop has 2 sides, a and b. When you started you put the flouro into the loop from the botto...

adman

I don't know what size floro you used but an albright is the smallest knot for that application...unless your using a micro guide rod then forget it. There are a couple of knot tying websites with good illustration of the technique. You can and should trim the tags very close to the knot it doesn't ...

And make sure you leave the hatch open when you are charging your batteries!

Seems an odd statement since they came from the midwest, great lakes, et al. I vote false.

adman

Boy would I love to fish this! I'll pick up all the fees plus gas if someone wants to offer me a back seat. I'm a locked down Casitas prisoner so a back seat is the only chance I have to see, for the first time, this great lake. Someone take pity on me!

adman

One other trick is to either make a cast or walk out a practice plug a good "casting distance" and before you reel the line back up, take a piece of tape and put it across the line still on the spool. By doing this, you can cast without getting an overun greater than the line out from the ...

How does one go about buying one of the many islands like that? I have never seen anything listed in the MLS or heard of anyone buying one.

adman

I don't know the answer to this question, so for those of you ready to pounce, back off. Who "owns" fish caught in a tournament? Is it stated in rules that once fish are weighed they become the property of the tournament organization or does "ownership" remain with the angler?

adman

Outstanding. Don't know if I have my partner or not but I'll fish either way. Glad you two are back.

adman

The albright is a better knot. It won't slip but the best part is it is smaller and thus goes through the guides better. Once you get used to tying it, it just as easy to tie as the uni, maybe easier. It is worth learning. I've been doing the braid/fc for several years and have NEVER had a problem w...

Not at all impressed by these rods. Would be MORE than willing to sell my Swimbait/C rig rod. (And it has nothing to do with the color!)

adman

If you have a chance to ride in the FX with SHO, you won't have too many more questions. That motor is unbelievable. I'd put it on the back of anything/

adman

Yes Albright has never broken at the knot fish or snag. I also agree that every knot, Palomar, Uni, Albright must be tied properly.

adman

Albright also has a smaller/lower profile. As easy to tie and have NEVER had a failure. (Never had a failure with the Uni either) but the Albright is slimmer.

adman

I might also suggest you try the Albright knot. I switched from the uni to it because it seems smaller and goes thru the guides a bit better. It is no harder to tie. I use Gamma Touch as the top shot and the combination is scary sensitive. The braid flouro combo is without doubt THE best-you will be...

adman

Doug,
If you get it and don't like it I'll buy it from you.

adman

Doug,
Call Tackle Warehouse tomorrow morning and they'll have at your door Wednesday morning. (And no charge for shipping)

adman

You can put anything on anything. A question would be: Because the FX Series was designed around the SHO, how will the SHO perform on other hulls. I'm sure it will perform well but will it be AS significant on other hulls

adman

I saw an FX20 w/250sho for $58

I want to thank BASS for an almost POINTLESS drive to the Delta, hotel rooms, missed work. I signed up in Jan to be a Marshall. The fellow on the phone (who I'll admit did not sound like the sharpest knife in the drawer) took my card number, asked if I wanted to do Sat, (said yes) asked what size sh...

adman

Which size/brand braid is best suited for 6-12lb test florocarbon? Depends on what you are doing. Anywhere from 10 to 30lb for me I use powerpro just personal Which knot is the all around best connection for speed and strength? Used to use uni-uni but switched to albright because it is smaller, tend...

adman

Okay, for some reason I signed up to Marshall on the Delta...will probably KILL me not to fish, (And it's not the safest place to fly around right Mr. Dobyns?)but so be it. So now I'd like thoughts on who I should "hope" to draw, There are some obvious names but there are a lot of names I ...

adman

I had heard Stan moved to the desert and was cleaning pools, but that was a LONG time ago.

adman

That will work fine. Depending on where you fish, you will want a Navionics chip, but you probably won't need the most recent chip which they charge a bunch for. you can find last year's or even an 08 chip on ebay,etc. for quite a discount and it will be fine...UNLESS the high definition map for the...

Hey Tuna, Sorry you have had a bad experience although they are always possible no matter the company. Oddly just this week I needed a different transducer for one of my units: I called them told them there was a time issue and they said "no problem" we'll send what you need today, just se...

adman

You and your partner might want to save a bunch of money and grief by looking at the Humminbird. On top of reasonable pricing, first and still the leader in the SI field, they actually have GREAT, (I don't mean good, I mean great) CUSTOMER SUPPORT, something Lowrance has abandoned. Just a thought.
