Thanks Troy, at my age its nice to see both the word "stud" and my name in any context what so ever

I use locktite quite often to lock threads. It keeps them from vibrating loose

Jim Conlow Sr.

I made an earlier comment about the dive hood with a face eye goggle. I used to do lots of scuba diving and thought it was a good idea but also read the comment about the sweating issue. Thats a problem that I had not considered. I have been using motorcycle helmets almost exclusivley since 1978 whe...

Jim Conlow Sr.

The Dive hood is a great idea

Jim Conlow Sr.

One other thing to consider is that dince there will be m,any great fishermen competing for the Anglers Choice TOC

We in the Berkeley tournament will not be competing with them.

Maybe I wont be in last place after all.

Jim Conlow Sr.

Please sign in if you plan to fish the Berkley bait only, Big Bass per hour tournament on the 18th and 19th of October. I want to reasure all of you guys who may be afraid to enter for fear of coming in last, that since I am fishing ithe tournament you can forget about last place, It is already take...

Its funny because I keep telling myself Im going to get a kickboat or a kyak. Every time I see some bassy looking water where I cant launch my Legend

Hi My name is Jim Conlow Sr. I have been an avid poster on this forum in the past, but not so much anymore. I started reading and posting back in 1998 shortly after Tony took over the operation. I have backed off from posting for a variety of reasons, 1-They quit sending me notification of postings ...

How many moths do you have to neuter to keep the cats away?

Jim Conlow Sr.

What will the tides be at Russos on the days of the Berkeley Baits tournament?

Jim Conlow Sr.

My understanding is you can fish as a nonboater.

Jim Conlow Sr.

Does this mean that you can weigh in a different big fish each hour if you catch them or is it just one weighin per fisherman?

Jim Conlow Sr.

Do you come in each hour to weigh in or only at the end of the 6 hours?

Jim Conlow Sr.

i remember the first one.. i had to have EVERY lid in the boat open and they were walking across boats checking..... I was boat 309 or something.. now granted they could not check EVER crack or crevace for OTHEr baits.. now I did get VERY creative with my frogs and I assumed so did every body else ...

Jim Conlow Sr.

Jim I don't think you want to fish anything other than the frog from Snag Proof. The other baits they make are well....hmmm....not good. It's a frog tourney man! FROGS DUDE, how could you not want to toss a frog all day? I have caught lots of fish on some of their other lures. And it is simply my c...

Jim Conlow Sr.

I was going to fish the Snag Proof tournament but I changed my mind when I found out it was frogs only. If it were any lure made by Snagproof I would fish. I would empty my boat of all other lures and would insist on a poly test if I did good enough for a check. I took 27th out of 305 boats in the f...

[quote="Andy Giannini"]Mac, First off, the cheap split ring pliers are really lousy. You need to bear down during these tough economic times and buy a good pair. Second if you are getting rid of a hook but keeping the split ring, just cut the hook eye and throw it away. (That ought to save...

Jim Conlow Sr.

It appears to me that it has many features that will apeal to bass. I truly dont think the bass sits back and contimplates on whether it is something that he and his ancestors have been eating for 50,000 years. I think mister and missus bass just think "wow aomething to eat", and suck it i...

I have to deal with a bunch of college educated morons decisions all day long. The last thing I come on this site for a grammar lesson. Bill I value your opinion, but as Dom said, this country is getting whipped from within. Anyone can have a Google spell checker installed and it works very well on...

obviously you were able to decipher what that individual was trying to communicate. I recognize always that I speak for myself and for no one else.

We have always taken the attitude here on the forum that spelling and grammer were not important. What is important is communication. Do we want to discourage people from posting because they cant spell or because they use poor grammer? Many poor spellers or gramarians know more about fishing in th...

Try doing business with Frank at inland marine and you will learn the true meaning of "good friendly service at reasonable prices"

Jim Conlow Sr.

I think you are making a great offer Derrick. Back about ten years ago I can remember when a lot of Ams were guaranteeing themselve a place in the back seat by paying the pros entry fees. Most of them did get to fish practice days with him as well in most cases. Back then there always seemed to be a...

Jim Conlow Sr.

I think the best way is to just read the signs. I think the reduced speed zones are well marked throughout the Delta. Common sense should be the real guide.
Put your brain in gear before putting your boat in motion. I trully think that drunken boat drivers are the worst hazard on any body of water.

Jim Conlow Sr.

I would try to find someone close to home. There is a guy namend Todd here in Benicia who does a ton of rod and reel repairs plus makes some great custom rode. If he is not too far from you I can highly reccommend him. 707-745-4921, ask for Todd and please tell him I sent you. He replaced a part in ...

Jim Conlow Sr.

We will be going up this coming Saturday. Will be launching at Capell. Havent fished there for a year or so. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated

Make sure to have a good map

Jim Conlow Sr.

This truly is a great set of pictures. One of the things that I thought very interesting is that in many of the pictures you can see a band on the birds leg. Do you know if this a falconers bird or is it more than one bird? Or perhaps the bird was captured and banded before being released? Just curi...

Jim Conlow Sr.

You need some serious lessons in FINESSE er uh fishing of course.

Jim Conlow Sr.

I turned down a free guide trip to Trinity lake.
Last year at this time I caught over 30 small mouth per day over 3 pounds.

This is a real bummer

Jim Conlow Sr.

Jim Conlow Sr.

Yeah Mike I once had a throttle linkage break the day before a tournament at CL I had to be off the water by 3 PM and it broke at about 2:45. We were over at Neice and I got back in time with a rope tied to the throttle linkage. We ended up making a new throttle linkage out of the handle rod from a ...

Jim Conlow Sr.

I think they need to set up a program of mussel inspector certifications, then some of the guys that inspect the livewells and boats prior to tournaments could issue stickers.
And then be able to reinspect before every tournament.

Jim Conlow Sr.

If you have that problem you can take the cowling of and tie a line to your throttle rod. it is spring laoded and you can make it back by pulling on the line over your shoulder. Remember though that when you turn to the right the motor will speed up. This applies to a Mercury 225 optimax but I cant ...

Jim Conlow Sr.

I believe that if any lake is contaminated by boats that Clearlake is already contaminated whether the muscles have allready been found or not. The lake has had uninspected boats launched there from all over the world. I believe that if all watercraft were to be banned from the lake that the contami...

You make a very valid point Greg

Jim Conlow Sr.

My question is What time of day do the inspection stations open in the mornings. I am more than willing to have my boat inspected but when I fish Clearlake I normally launch at Redbud and I try to get in the water by safe light. For a tournament the guys start ariving up there at 4 A.M. Do they have...

Jim Conlow Sr.

Just thought you might like to be aware of this upcoming change: http://www.clearlakevacationsonline.com/boat_inspection.html Clear Lake, with its 44,000 surface acres, will be the first major body of water in Northern California to require all boats entering Lake County to undergo a mandatory inspe...

Jim Conlow Sr.

The companies that sponsor Bass tournaments do not sell live bait

Jim Conlow Sr.

My point is, that Clearlake is likely to be already infested. eliminating all boats from the lake is not going to stop the infestation.
The mussels will continue to breed no matter whether there are boats on the water or not

Jim Conlow Sr.

How does keeping the boats out of the water cure the mussel problen once the lake is already infested. The lakes with a Dam that lets water flow down stream is going to infest all of the waters down stream. They better start thinking of other methods. With all of the privete launch ramps on Clearlak...

Jim Conlow Sr.

What is the closest ramp to where you live. This is not too important if you have unlimited gas money and time to use learning areas far from where you live. Most of the Major tournaments today go out of Russos and it is a great facility and close to some of the best fishing in the Delta. But it is ...

Try it on a glove without your hand in it. It might melt the glove right to your finger.

Jim Conlow Sr.

Still thinking about this way too muchâ€¦ Now days most people have cell phones with cameras built in or have a camera on board to record that new PB. Instead of getting mad or even, why donâ€™t we just pull up and take a nice picture of these dumb a**es and we could have a picture post on this sit...
