Hey Bro, I hope you didn't hurt that poor little starving bird, ya big bully!!! Did you get anymore fish at the upper end?

Scott D.

Looks good to me!!!

I'm sure "The Dead Sea" will be better in May than it was in Feb this past year!!!

Scott D.

Alax, you may have hit something bigger than that though. It's typically springtime more than now that you have to worry about that stuff in the lakes, so it surprises me that you had that happen. Dang, with your luck though(I mean, hitting a powerpole with your truck), you might want to take up ano...

Scott D.

Totally disagree with ya on thinking Mercury should warranty it for ya. If you hit a powerpole with your Chevy and damaged the bumper, would you ask Chevy to warranty the bumper? No different to me. I will say that if you're looking to get it repaired, then send it to Phil's in Redding. There's nobo...

Scott D.

Clear Lake- 1/2 onc White/Chart double willow, one gold, one silver

Delta- same size, but White, white blades

Scott D.

FRIGGIN' AWWWWWWESOME!!!!!!! THANKS FOR THAT!! Was that one shot a Lunker Punker getting slammed?

Scott D.

You can do it on your own. It's a piece of cake. Just take the tires off, there's a hex screw in the hub inself, spin it to the bottom to drain, then fill it with 50 weight( I think, call a dealer to double check) to the top again. It does take awhile to drain though, so just take the screws out, ro...

Scott D.

Got a 9 1/2 lb'er out of Pine Flat year before last on a Super Spook. Skeetman5 can attest to that.

Scott D.

Come on over and try and spray me!!! I double dare ya!!! I have a big wakebait with huge treble hooks just waiting for such occasion. And trust me, I will use it. "Officer, hey, I was just fishing, and this guy came out of nowhere, and just as I made a cast, he came by and got hooked". You...

Scott D.

I use my cruise when I can, and yes, it does make a difference for me in MPG. It's a Duramax, and the throttle is really sensitive, so the cruise keeps it constant rather than bumps in the road affecting it.

Scott D.

I too have asked this question, and the best response I got from someone was that both are good motors, but think about where you get support when you DO need it. Mercury dealers outnumber Yamaha dealers as far as for repairs probably 5 to 1. No matter where you go, you can always find a Mercury dea...

Scott D.

My Chevy 2500HD Duramax will tow a freakin' house, shoot, a whole neighborhood of houses for that matter.

It doesn't even know my 520 is back there, so don't tell it. Shhh.

Scott D.

ya know what Gary, I did learn something on Mead, so I did take that away from it. If we go back I have more confidence going in. That boat ride back the second day of the Stren just killed me!!! Ouch!!! You're right about the money thing though.

Scott D.

No, not making it to the Rally. Don't have anything lined up yet for after retirement, but I am working it, and something I'm sure will pop up. I'm hoping I can find something further north than here. You know, closer to Clear Lake, Shasta, Delta. Hey, by the way, you'd be shocked at the growing num...

Scott D.

So, anyone heard rumors of a Stren or Series schedule for next year? Hope they don't go to Mead again. Anyone else think that Nacimiento is big enough for one? Or Don Pedro? If they consider distance away from the nearest WalMart, both of them are closer than the one is from Mead to Henderson. Any t...

Scott D.

Mac, you mean you never had a snotty-nosed punk sailor like Ike in your Division? I've got a whole bunch of them!!! 6 months to retirement from this!!!! Whewww, can't wait.

Scott D.

North River Jet Sled.

Scott D.

I think they're both jackasses!! Getting loud and obnoxious to gain attention....I don't understand that. We are living in the "Punkass Generation" I guess.

Scott D.

Qoute: "Would I pay $59 for a "sunfish patterned" bait ? Heck no I wouldn't. Big bass don't "primarily eat" sunfish."end Qoute Chris, you're making that statement based on California lakes right? Because in Oregon and Washington, in a lot of lakes the bluegill are the M...

Scott D.

Hipster, if you haven't tried it yet, give No Sweat Mist a try. It has a UV protectant in it, which to me, makes it a better product. Also, I used the Spot Remover to get the water spots off my Merc and it worked great. They really did their research and put out a good product line.

Scott D.

I just got done ordering the 6 inch Lunker Plunker, and the Redear floating Shellcracker. Damn, I gotta stop spending money like that!!!

Scott D.

Cooch, you throwing the 6 or 9 inch?

Scott D.

where can I get a lunker plunker?

Scott D.

Just got an email that I needed to call Bob Trice at River2Sea and explain what happened to it. So I called, and they are very concerned and took care of me. Great customer service, and nice to see they are quality conscious. Thanks goes out to DanO and Bob.

Scott D.

Huhh? Soooo, what you're saying is that I shouldn't be concerned with spending $50 on a bait (no matter what brand) that hasn't even seen the water yet and is already rendered worthless? My point is if it won't stand up to even being tied up and hooked to the hook keeper on a rod, how's it going to ...

Scott D.

Well, didn't even get to try out the new WoodNSlither I bought. Had it tied on and hooked it to the reel, leaned it against my boat with the other rods that were there(going in a buddies boat). Went to load it up into his boat and looked and noticed that the tail was ripped halfway. Where the two li...

Scott D.

In all seriousness, I now pack a glove in my boat for when I accidentally hook one of those greebs. Those things are frickin EVIL!!! Not fun to unhook from an LV.

Scott D.

Narrow? Here are the spec comparisons on length and beam: Skeeter 20i- 20ft2in, 94in beam Triton- 21 ft, 94 in beam Ranger 520- 20ft9in, 92 1/2in beam 1 1/2 inches in beam isn't even noticable in my opinion. As far as attention to detail and fit & finish goes, Ranger hands down. Resale, again Ra...

Scott D.

No action? I haven't used it yet, but if you want to see what they look like in the water, go to tacklewarehouse.com, Swimbaits, River2Sea, WoodNSlither, and there is a video link to see them being tested in a pool. Looks like lots of action to me. Maybe it requires the right rod and line setup? Any...

Scott D.

DanO, I just sent you an email

Scott D.

Just received a WoodNSlither and curious if anyone has used one yet, and caught fish on it. I'm a little concerned that the little plastic tail isn't going to last long on it!!! Don't know of replacement tails that they make, so curious what maybe some of you guys have done. Thanks in advance.

Scott D.

Jigs, thanks, but I'm not asking where I can get replacement tails as much as how they hold up to bass busting them. If I only get one fish out of them, and their tail is jacked, then I won't be buying anymore of them.

I say we load a bunch of PETA jacka$$es up on a plane and drop them off in the African bush where they will learn a valuable lesson that it is GREAT to be at the top of the foodchain......and it won't be them!!! They'll wish they had a gun when that hungry bunch of lions are chomping their arse!!! &...

Scott D.

Hey now kb!!! I bought him those shoes!!! Those are his "Special Shoes". You can tell a lot about someone by their shoes!!!

Scott D.

I've been told by 2 mechanics that just like today's cars, outboards are designed and tested to run on 87. They have also said that 87 actually burns cleaner than 89 or 91, which makes for better power. I used 91 octane in my '91 Ranger with a Johnson years ago, and a mechanic back then basically ch...

Call C&C Marine Modesto at (209)526-4120 or Citrus Heights (916)729-0590 and ask one of their techs. I know they would be glad to help you out. Or call Oasis in Redding at (530)242-8444, they'd help too.

Scott D.

Sooo....last time it was a feeling you got in the shower.......now it's voices in your head?!!! You might need to see a shrink, but I wish I had your illnesses!!!! Good job buddy. I tried calling you the other night, talked with Deedrian and the kids a little. Hopefully see ya soon.

Scott D.

biteme, I have the single axle 520 also. I had bad leaf springs on mine that rubbed. I went through 2 tires on one side in a matter of months. I had C&C Marine in Modesto replace the springs. You have to have them order them from Ranger(yes, that's right, from Ranger) ahead of time so that they ...

Scott D.

Soooo.....do we have to bring our own soap for Ottis to carve? Wow, and I thought the best thing going in the area was the awesome fishing. Now that I know there's soap carving going on on Sunday's, I might have to pass on the fishing! :lol: Another idea for the family is to tour some wineries. Ther...

Scott D.

What is your favorite part of the tide to be on your best areas for? I know I am opening up the opportunity for some Marines to give me a ration about being in the Navy and not knowing tides......(yeah, we have misjudged some tides from time to time!!! Sorry boys, you'll have to swim the rest of the...

Scott D.

DeltaDan, maybe you don't understand the situation I was describing. If you know the bridge in Bishop Cut, there's a big opening that is meant for boat traffic, and he did not use that. He instead made me move out of the way of one of the smaller side ones, and went over the top of where I was fishi...

Scott D.

The law enforcement guys in the Sheriff's boats on the Delta are total jackasses. Last year I was fishing in Bishop Cut right next to the bridge there fishing the outside weedline. A Sherrif boat came down the channel toward me, came off plane, and was motoring right on the weekline toward me. I mov...

Scott D.

Chris, don't worry about what some punk *** says to ya. Just keep fishing, sticking pigs, and showing them off. I, for one, appreciate seeing it, and think it builds comradery between those that want to learn more and such. In case you haven't noticed, there are increasing numbers of punks in our sp...

Scott D.

Mine was still under warranty, but not sure by how much, so it didn't cost me a thing at C&C Marine in Modesto. Call them at (209)526-4120 and ask for Richard and ask about the timeline for the Rangertrail Warranty.

Scott D.

Don't be shocked if they tell you you'll have to order them directly from Ranger. I had the same problem with my '04 trailer (520 on it too), and went through 2 tires in 8 months. I know it's not a fix for you, but Ranger has fixed it on the newer models and gotten away from leaf springs. Good luck ...

Scott D.

I have been a GLoomis guy for over 25 years now. But ever since they were bought out by Shimano, I feel their quality has suffered. The last few rods I have bought just don't seem to have the attention-to-detail that they used to have. I have bought 2 Powells, and just bought a Dobyns frog rod. Bott...

Scott D.

Jake, you have a pm.

Scott D.

AC Delco, and they last about 3 years.
