There is a need for an organization to represent reservoir fisheries in California-no doubt. I have been personally trying to lay the groundwork to do so. However- to provide advocacy and research at the level you speak of for DU, CalWaterfowl, etc, etc-there is considerable overhead and resources ...

I'd suggest you contact one or more existing clubs, to see what's actually involved in setting up a new club. Redwood Empire Bass Club, Sonoma and Marin counties, meets second Weds of each month. Meetings are held in Santa Rosa area. More info on FB Page, "New Redwood Empire Bass Club", h...

There are about a half dozen lakes in the DFW area in addition to Lewisville and RayBob. There's Ray Hubbard, Grapevine, Eagle Mountain, Lavon, Joe Pool to name the larger ones. Tawakoni is a little further East, between Hubbard and Fork. And if you want to venture further North, there's Texoma on t...

In all seriousness, Rod, I hope Irene treats you nice. My part of Texas dodged a bullet from Harvey when it started north out of Houston then turned and followed I-10

Knowing you, I'm surprised you didn't use sand bags!

Now, now, Mark...are you trying to say that Rod is a sandbagger?

Are these the spiral-wrapped rods? I believe Rich Forhan did make a spiral wrap, and I know that Sieg Taylor used spiral wraps as did Gary Klein at one time.

Just from the pics, that's a good looking rod! And the $79.99 price point will make a lot of anglers happy, too.

Local realtors can't be happy with this. It's hard to sell a property when there is a dead fish stink, and dead fish floating on the lake, which is supposed to be the major selling point for homes there If I were a Clear Lake homeowner, I'd be pretty upset about the dead fish and the stink they wil...

I need specific locations too, exact baits and colors would help too. Seriously? Did you ask that question. Anyone can go catch a bass on the delta!! May not be huge but pretty darn easy. This time of year I would use the Helicopter Lure or the Flying Lure around Holland and you will be fine. Fish ...

From their rules: WWBT reserves the right to pair a Pro and Co together on Day 3 in the event there are not enough boats for all the Co anglers. I don't have a dog in this fight (unfortunately I live too far away to fish WWBT), BUT it seems to me, that to maintain a level playing field, if one co h...

Looking at the contestants in this event and the recent migration of top pros from FLW to BASS I can't help but feel that FLW is in trouble on some level. I doubt so many top FLW guys would be heading over if it was healthy. I know the sponsors like BASS better but... Not that much different than t...

Z-Man recommends their TRD (The Real Deal) bait or the Z-Man Hula StickZ bait. There may be other floating baits out there as well

On the subject of release boats: I fished a few of the FLW Everstart/Stren/Costa/Rayovac tourneys as a co-angler back in the mid-to-late 2000's (2003-2009), when they used to go out of the old Konocti Harbor Resort. Potentially, each boat could bring 10 fish to the scales (5 each per co and pro). Wi...
