The only issue I have is with my timing

...by the time I realized the weigh-in was underway and got signed in I only got to see the last 5 or 6 pairs go to the scales...

These are my year-round favorites:

1. Zoom Brush Hog
2. Yamamoto Senko, 5"
3. Roboworm, 6"

Check your local Lucky store...don't know about Sacto/R'ville, but a while back our (Novato/North Bay) Lucky had Hydrate2o on a 10 for $10 special...haven't checked for it lately though.

I won a Pinnacle Extant in a club raffle a few years back...seemed like a good reel, solid, smooth and quiet, so I bought another just like it. Not too long after that, the anti-reverse bearing went out on the first one :evil: , followed shortly by the same thing on the second one :twisted: ...now w...

Whenever I start talking about getting another rod and/or reel, my wife asks, "What do yo need another rod for? Don't you have enough already?

"

My resopnse is, "Would you send Tiger Woods out for a round of golf with nothing but a 9-iron and a putter?"

What kind of music do bass prefer? I have found that crappy as# country music will scare away all the bass. Good old 70's or 80's rock will attract bass. The fish down here at Casitas love Metalica, Zepelin, and AC/DC. Or Skynyrd if the lake lice are around.........."Gimme Back My Bullets"...

Thanks for the link Mark!! I just printed that whole thread to take to my next club meeting. The info contained there applies to most of our Northern lakes too, even Clear Lake. I have seen quite a few fish pulled up out of deep water there that had to be "fizzed" before they were released.

Shag Rock usually produces... Brush Hogs or Big Dead Ringers, T-rigged, June bug or black w/red flake. Haven't been up there at night yet this year, but this has worked well in the past.

NEVER, but NEVER, dry-run your motor. As stated earlier, the impeller is hard rubber; and as such, needs water for lubrication. Running the motor without water flowing through it, even for as little as 15-30 seconds, can destroy the impeller. If you can't get the lower unit in the water, you at leas...

Glad you're home, Gary...hospital food sux (anyway it used to) and I hear hospital Security makes visitors pass thru a Krispy Kreme detector.

Walton's Pond in San Leandro is not that far from Fremont. He has everything you need. Or you could drive a little further North to Outdoor Pro Shop in Oakland. If they don't have what you need there they can probably have it sent down from their other store in Rohnert Park. They move a lot of inve...

They are still around and still doing good work on behalf of all of us, not just bass fishermen.
