Greg Im sure you and KB remember this all got hashed out a long time ago. Same comments same answers. If we live long enough it will probably come up again. If what kb did was unethical or against the rules it would be written that way. Greg, you explained it perfectly. that should be the last word,...

Jim Conlow Sr.

It depends on how it is rigged, wacky or texas, size of hook and whether it is texas rigged in the head or the tail. I start all of my senkos texas hooks in the fat end or head. when that gets ripped I rig the hook in the skinny end. when that wears out I use it for wacky style. If I dont lose it by...

I dont know where you live or how far you want to travel to look at used boats but if it were me I would call Inland Marine in Antioch Ca.
If call boat dealers close to major Bass fisheries I believe you have a better chance of finding what you are looking for.

If all of us dont start buying American we will be having our conversations about fishing in the soup lines like people were doing in the early thirties. I was born in 1934 and clearly remember the end of the thirties and the hopelessness that people suffered and the fear of spending as much as a di...

I have a 2006 Dodge Hemi short cab short bed. I also have a 2006 Dodge cummings diesel 4 door cab and eight foot bed. Both are great vehicles and are great for towing my boat. I have been a Dodge guy for a long time and dont really know anything about the other brands, I just know that for the past ...

Tournament fishermen at all levels need to realize that tournaments are a business. Businesses habe their own business plans and they run their businesses in a manner that their own opinion dictates. Their business decisions are what makes them a profit or causes them to fail. We can say what ever w...

Some one once told me that when you sign a petition that on average there are between 100 and 1000 people who agree with you on the subject of the petition, and that most of the time govornment agencies recognize this. I am writing this to encourage all who read this both from northern Ca, and from ...

Great point roger. Lets all stick together on issues like this

I went ahead and signed it but I wonder if everyone is thinking about the consequences. If the BOR allows use they will be responsible. They will have to maintain PortaPotties, trash barrels will need to be emptied, and somebody will need to patrol at least on a once in awhile basis. Somebody will ...

I hate to encourage the rest of the people who use our lakes but it is totally stupid for people with any type of watercraft not to sign this petition

Not signing will simply cause additional crowds on our already over crowded lakes.

I am number 208

I heard there is going to be another Berkeley Baits tournament. Do any of you guys know what the particulars are???

Jim Conlow Sr.

so far so good. I got my weight down to my 20 year old weight, at 200. No prescription drugs. 120 over 70 blood pressure, pulse at 72 per minute. 143 cholesterol.

Im so damned perfect that I cant stand to be around myself. Har Har

Jim Conlow Sr.

WOW Tony What a pleasant surprise. Thank you and all of the otherguys who wrote in with their happy birth day wishes too.

When I think back to the age of 50 it seems to have flown by in a flash. I hope that from here to a hundred takes a little longer.

Jim Conlow Sr.

I think it would be a great idea, as long as it stood up for all anglers not just tournament people. If so I'd do anything I could to help. Good luck. This organization should be for all Bass fishermen. It could possibly be a great organization to encourage more nonboaters to participate in a progr...

Jim Conlow Sr.

Guy im serious, a guide will teach you more in one day then you can learn all season...... oh yeah throw the HHH frog A few years back I took 3 guide trips with Rich Theil and I am still catching fish that I wouldnt have caught if I hadnt taken that instructuctional trip with Rich. He and the other...

Jim Conlow Sr.

Back about 6 or 7 years ago I fished a whole year in all of my fun fishing and a lot of my tournament practice fishing with nothing but Sencos. My intent was to learn the what, why, how, when and where of that bait. My plan was to do the same thing with Jigs the next year. Some how are another I jus...

Jim Conlow Sr.

Tie some of them each way and rig two rods and go fishing. See if you can tell a difference.
I believe it will take 50 or sixty full fishing days and keeping good records to really get a handle on which is best.
After you have done all of that please come back and tell us what you learned

Jim Conlow Sr.

For a long time I thought that my war (the Korean war) was going to be the last U.S. war where patriotism was prevelent among the citizens of this country. We,the Korean Vets were treated with great respect and adoration when we returned from Korea. The Vietnam veterans were treated like garbage and...

Andy You post so seldom anymore that I really thought you had stopped reading the forum. I am happy to see that you are ay least still monitoring it. Back in the middle nineties when it was mostly known as NCBF and when I was posting as Spinnerbait you gave me some advice that I have never forgot an...

Jim Conlow Sr.

A forum is a place to ask others opinions and express your own. when people get together to discuss a subject there are invariably differences of opinion. if there were not differences of opinion than there would not be a conversations. There would only be lectures. What we all need to recognize is ...

How did saving Garry Dobyns life cost Dave rush a quarter of a million dollars?

Try to sell that Legend. I know of about 5 that have been for sale for over a year for less than they owe on them. And like Cobra, Viper, Hawk........will Legend be around in another 5 years??? Yes Mike I agree everythings tough to sell right now. I drive a Dodge. Actually I have two dodge pickups ...

[quote="Obi-Hub"]Jim, Don't ferget you should be spending most of yer day fishing not running. This is were the differences really start to shine. How does the boat hold in the wind? Out of all the boats I have fished out of, I have found that pretty much all models of Rangers are less mov...

Not just good advice but great advice if you are thin skinned. As for me I love it.

Jim

Jim Conlow Sr.

I will concede the point that all of the bass boats are coming much closer to being the same. So if this is the case why would you pay $9000.00 more to get the same thing. I will also concede that the owner of one bnrand probably can drive that boat better than he will a strange brand of boat. I pro...

Jim Conlow Sr.

I am truly ROTFLMAO. Those pictures were taken for a promotional advertisement that was going to be used in the publication promoting a specific bass club in the castro district of San Francisco. Actually the body is Rich Thiel we were going to transplant my head on his body, but now you have (no pu...

Jim Conlow Sr.

If you are planning to buy a new boat and want o make the best selection I have a few points that i would like to suggest. We always hear that Ranger is a great boat and that it holds its value better than other boats. I am on the prostaff for Legend boats and like most all of us I think that what I...

Something you have a chance of winning at

Jim Conlow Sr.

I have used some that I got from Cabellas but was not happy with it The stuff that has worked best for me is from two different companies one called Second Wind and the other is Kiwi brand which I think is the same people who make shoe polish. They both have a pretty strong oder but I hang my gear i...

My guidwear is close to 10 years old and is still working as good as new. My wife machine washes it every spring after the end of the rainy season and air dries it. I spray it with a tent and boot waterproofing which causes the water to bead up and run off like a freshly waxed car. My motorcycle hel...

Jim Conlow Sr.

I now think that it may not increase the percentages of participation as much as I might have thought. I guess that the tournament orgs will have to measure there own attitudes regarding the two opinions. It would cost me a tank of gas to go to Shasta and back which is about $50 thats 25% of a days ...

Jim Conlow Sr.

why is it difficult to understand that there is not much difference between having a five day off limits as apposed to a 4 day off limit, except that working that 5th day may be the difference in some people being to be able to afford the tournaments and some of them not. There are expenses that the...

Jim Conlow Sr.

I as the business owner cannot take the time off either. I need to be there to maintain the schedules ane solve problems as they occur. I suspect that there are a loty of other small business owners who do not fish the so called working mens tournaments for the same reason that I dont. I used to fis...

Jim Conlow Sr.

Jigs There are many guys who would love to fish tournaments who dont get paid vacations. Some of them work for me and a whole lot of them work in the construction industry. When I have a two man framing crew on a job, if one takes the day off they both have to take the day off. A guy can frame by hi...

Jim Conlow Sr.

It would really be nice if someone would promote a truly working mans Pro/Am shared weight circuit. Any circuit that lets the fishermen fish during the week days prior to the tournament is not really a working mans circuit. If I had people working for me who were taking Fridays off to go fishing. I ...

Jim Conlow Sr.

I grew up in Redding and we used to catch them in the Sacto river. Everyone called rhem squaw fish at that time. I think that it was determined that the word squaw is a derogatory term when applied to an Indian woman. I totally agree that it is derogatory if the person being called a squaw objects ...

Jim Conlow Sr.

Yes most of the tournaments have specific rules and they will tell you what they are at the draw. But tournament fishermen should either go online or ask the tournament organization to mail a copy of the rules to them. All tournament orgs do not have all of the same rules. One thing to remember is t...

Jim Conlow Sr.

And dont you thimk that speed limit signs and no fishing signs should have some kind of official lettering on them as do our traffic siigns on the streets and high ways. Or as One other guy said can I just go out and make it a 5 mile an hour speed lomit on my street?

Jim Conlow Sr.

So How about the guys who put a rope across from one dock to another to keep the fishermen out?

Jim Conlow Sr.

Several posts back you suggested that as a safety measure you should inspect your boat regularly to make sure that there are no loose cionnections in your boat.
My problem is that if I were to eliminate all loose nuts from my boat I would have to quit driving it

Jim Conlow Sr.

I always think that I am much more likely to fall in the water when I am fishing than when I am driving. In the winter wearing full rain gear it could be very dificult to get back in the boat. Even with a strong partner trying to help you. This is why I wear a self inflating life jacket that lets me...
