Several Northern CA lakes have smallies, Berryessa, Sonoma, Mendocino to name a few...also the Delta

I add Sta-Bil Ethanol formula to my fuel, 1oz per 10 gallons. I have also heard a lot of folks recommend adding Seafoam to control/remove carbon build-up. I imagine these are very similar to the additives recommended by Norcalracer

Stratos278

I have heard that livewell additives such as Rejuvenade and Catch-and-Release will also stop/slow bleeding

As always WB wants to allow expression of opinions, thoughts and experiences without crossing the line of bashing and we want to thank all of our site users for being respectful of that on this thread, especially in instances like this where the topic is not of a positive nature. Lots of people hav...

Launch fee at Spanish Flat is $18.00. Putah Canyon (Putah Creek) is also open with a one lane concrete ramp for $23.00

How about C.A.S.T for Kids? or the C.O. Pro-Teen tourney?

Never stayed there, but have heard lots of good things about the Skylark in Lakeport. As far as possibly postponing your trip, if you push it back to mid-April you will be getting closer to spawn. Lots of bed areas from Long Tule Point to County Park to State Park, right by the swim beach. We took s...

I don't believe that Gene associated with the Hook any longer. However you could probably ask him directly on this forum or by PM.

Where can I find a schedule of Lowrance seminars at the ISE show? Mainly interested in Saturday...hope to pick up some good tips. (I'm running Elite-5's on my boat, but hoping that some of the HDS stuff is applicable too...)

Stratos278

They should mark it with a hazard buoy. Someone should talk to the maint. super about this.
BTW, is this Pedro or Melones?

Stratos278

Lots of knowledge about Johnson/Evinrude outboards here:

Maybe someone there could help?

This article is on the Western Bass homepage....since FLW has not seen fit to create any BFL regions here in the West, it is totally irrelevant and not worth reading

Just read in a post on Facebook by WON Bass that Eric Elshere (Elfish16) lost his battle with cancer. Although I didn't know Eric personally, I gained a wealth of knowledge from his posts here on Western Bass. He will be missed. RIP

Sometimes I wave first, sometimes I don't...but if someone waves to me, I wave back. I will even wave to the "lake lice"...but it's usually the "one-finger" wave for them...

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but most of the reservoirs in California, and the dams that created them, are under Federal (either Bureau of Reclamation or Corps of Engineers) control. Likewise for most of the facilities, i.e. docks, ramps, etc. Even if those facilities are operated by conc...

Four weeks ago (Oct 24) Putah Creek had one concrete lane and two docks in the water. The lake level seems to be holding fairly steady, so you should still be OK

Hey WB Staff, you and I must have posted at the same time...When I submitted my latest post, I saw your response. Thanks for the explanation. As I said in my prev. (most recent) post, the only thing I could not find was a lake level for Clear Lake. Again, thanks

Stratos278

Well, after further research, it turns out that I was (mostly) wrong...there are maps for most of the lakes I am interested in, along with links to lake levels. The only exception that I found so far is there is no way to tell what the level is at Clear Lake. As far as the maps are concerned, I foun...

Stratos278

Can anyone tell me why WB decided to change the lake pages format? It used to be that when someone went to the page for a particular lake, they got a lake map, the most recent reports, a link to current water levels, and a link to current weather. Please go back to the way things were, newer is not ...

The Rod Glove. I started out with the sleeves from BPS, but they weren't the best quality. Not much tip protection, and the fit was not that great. If you go by the BPS size guide, you will have about a foot flapping in the breeze at the tip end, and the spinning rod sleeves are very hard to slide o...

Bass Pro Shops has them listed in their catalog, worth a try?

This was truly an awesome event! I had been reading about the Pro-Teen tourneys for several years here on Western Bass (and NCBF before that) but this was the first year that I had the time, with no schedule conflicts, to participate. I was paired with a young gentleman from Folsom who was five days...

Can an Admin or Mod help me out? Whenever a video is posted in a thread, I can't see any subsequent posts. The post with the video is the last one I can see.

In this day and age, with everyone copying everyone else, no one...not even Robo...is above an occasional ripoff. Case in point, Strike King's "Sexy Shad" color. Robo made an (almost) exact copy of the color and BARELY changed the name to avoid copyright infringement (SXE Shad). Now before...

It's human nature to complain...if they spray and mess with the fish habitat, people complain. And if they DON'T spray, the hyacinth and other weeds go wild and they complain about that!

Done!!!

Lastly on the boat side, if you have any recommendations on clubs to join I'm all ears. Redwood Empire Bass Club. We meet at the Union Hotel Pizza on West College in Santa Rosa the 2nd Weds of each month. Most members are from Sonoma Co., some of us are from Marin. You didn't say where you are in M...

Greg had many health issues dating back almost 40 years, and through it all, he was always positive, upbeat, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes annoying. I had the pleasure of meeting Greg and I found he was a warm, caring, genuine human being. And Barbara was his pillar of strength. They were both fort...

So it all comes down to a question I asked earlier...will the Red One work on a Minn Kota Edge? Danny? Gene? Anyone???

Check with your auto/homeowner ins. co. first, you might be surprised! I have my cars and boat insured through State Farm. I hit something on the Delta about 3 months after I got my latest boat, messed up the lower unit and prop. Turned in a claim along with an estimate for a new lower unit, they ca...

Gene, will the Red One work on a Minn Kota Edge? The only ones listed on their website are the Maxxum and Fortrex

I know this thread is over a year old, but that's the beauty of the "search" button on this forum!! I broke the latch release/lift rope on my MinnKota Edge this weekend. Was lucky there was enough of the end sticking outta the guide where I could get some pliers on it to release the down l...

Thanks for everyone's input. I think that eventually I will spring for the 796 SBMT for wake/glide/swim baits, but for now I will use my Savvy 735C that I was using as my jig rod. I can use my 766Flip for jigs as well as flipping. As far as a topwater (Spook) rod, I think I see a 706CB in my future..

Stratos278

Let me start out by stating that I have pretty much committed to Dobyns for all my future rod purchases. I know that there are lots of folks loyal to their own favorites, but like I said I am staying with Dobyns so please don't chime in trying to convert me to Phenix, iRod, Powell, etc. Now, with th...
