I have the same setup, I just use a long shackle master lock, about 10 bucks at Home depot.

Largemouth bass as whole are not rare or endangered you are correct. But in retrospect when you take into consideration that east regional parks along with EBMUD Will not start the restocking of largemouth bass again. With the exception of Los Vaqueros. You take lakes like San Pablo Reservoir ,Quar...

Still available?

What's the "widow maker" on the delta? They are referring to large logs or stumps that are suspended just under the surface, when you hit them it is all bad, hence the term "Widow maker", typically this time of year and especially this year with the huge flushing rains everythin...

I have the oil bath hubs on my '05 Triton trailer, it is 12 years old now and I cant even begin to know just exactly how many miles are on it but I have preventive maintenance done every year and check the oil level every couple of months and have never had a problem knock on wood, I have thought ab...

Russo's if your looking to camp or rv, other than that you may want to give b&w a shot, they have slips with power as well as cabins right on the water.

Gary,
Loved the Preshow, I thought it was awesome and all good info, love the break down of the conditions and techniques, Craig and yourself were great and a big shout out to the whole WWBT crew! Thank you for bringing this Organization to life!

scott h

Also check all external parts on a regular basis no matter how new the boat is! Motor vibration, rough water and trailer time on the roads have a tendency to loosen things, a quick once over every few trips could have prevented this, luckily they were wearing their PFD's and kill switch attached.

scott h

Awesome event! Looking forward to the next one, Great Job by WWBT and kudos to all the teams that showed.

scott h

Thanks for the update Ken! looking forward to it, See you there!

scott h

Very Impressive! wishing good luck to the west coast guys headed for the tour this year, this may be the biggest western influence ever!

scott h

Looking forward to it! The lake is on the Super rise!

Where are you located?

Congratulations Terry Bennet! Thank you CTT for a great event once again I know it was a tough call to cancel day two but it was the right decision! Safety first always. See everyone at Oroville next month!

Looking for a boat friendly hotel near Folsom lake, like being able to park in front of the room and plug in/rig up. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Prayers to Bob and his family, I met Bob when I started fishing 100% bass Pro/ams and the signing and pairing meetings where at his shop, a few years later at lake Shasta I was fishing the Bassmasters and could only get a room for Friday and Saturday nights, otherwise was sleeping in my truck for a ...

Lol, coming from the dude that has "Buzzbaits in February" in his signature... Im not sure what that means there hotshot this thread wasn't about my signature, why you want to attack that seems off topic. When it comes to boating experience I can assure you I have plenty. You came on here...

The OP has Z519 Ranger w/225 hp, top speed for this boat is well under 75 mph with tricked prop no fishing gear regardless of the Jack plate set back. Be honest guys! Tom I would smoke ur boat dude... don't devalue my boat on here or discount its performance. You don't know what it can do. This is ...

+1 on Smooth as glass, I have had fiberglass/gel coat work done there twice and both times has been flawless repairs that lasts the test of time.

You just can't say enough good things about Jeremy! Last year I snapped a jack plate the weekend before a pro/am while out practicing, I ordered the jack plate over nite and Jeremy had me up and running by Wednesday, amazing customer service by a great guy! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone to...

I would try throwing a 1/4 buzz bait at those fish, black in color even a black and blue.

Usually September every year.

I keep two in the rafters for the ones that were "known" orders and anything that may need to get sent back for warranty or breaks, the rest of them I am fortunate enough to dispose of in the workplace recycle bin.............

As stated above there are a few different options on the Pro/am venue available, the FLW season is over, Wild West Bass Trail has concluded and the California Tournament trail has one early season event left on the Delta in two weeks and also a three event late season coming up, the first two mentio...

This is the longest running ORIGINAL frog tourney, and now that the right people are running the event it is exactly what it should be, super fun and great payouts at 100%, I can not believe people would fish any other open events that are nothing less than 100% paybacks! If you are on the fence do ...

A quick and simple fix is smash a split shot and secure it with a clear two part epoxy like the Gorilla glue or Devcon brand, works great been doing it for years.

From April to September! Lol

Ditto on the info here! On the chance that the delta isn't windy, is a frog more effective than a popper of a buzzbait in open water? Oh, while I'm on the subject of topwater, how about some recommendations on frog / buzzbait rods? I personally like a 7.5 to 8' heavy rod for buzzbaits and frogs but...

I was out the weekend before last and what I found was a good majority of the fish were post spawn, there are still some areas where there are all three phases going on but not as prevalent as everyone wants it to be, the most consistent bite I found was drop shotting the outside weed lines in 6-10'...

Or just drive a little further up the highway and stay at B&W, keep tthe boat rite outside the room on the water and avoid Stockton all together, no traffic to deal with just hop in and go fishing.

scott h

Looks like I'm on an island on this topic but I'm gonna say my peace. Quote it if you want too. No honest fisherman can say they care about the integrity of a fish if they are using a hook to rip its lips to catch that fish. We care about the catching part of the fish, oh how we care about that par...

Thanks for the free education on the handling of the bass. I remember when the shad ran in the feather they were real slimey and you weren't even suppose to touch them or pull them out of water to release them or they could die. Here is something I was contemplating we care about the handling of ba...

Peregrine250, I have been using it since my boat was new in 2005, people ask me all the time what year the boat is because it is in great shape and looks good, not sure what the dirty water clean water post was all about, I have had my boat from the cal delta to lake Havasu to quachita river in Lou...

Smooth as glass, top notch work at a fair price, I BROKE. A boat all the stringers front to back and completely separated a transom on a bass boat that was supposed to be a "rough" water boat, after Jeff was done it truly was a rough water boat and was stronger than the factory hull, I too...

I could be wrong here because I only boat for the high school opens and local delta teen teams but I don't think you actually have to go to a high school with a club to be eligible, I believe you only need to be members of the SAF(student angler federation), once you join that and get a membership #...

scott h

I strongly recommend a float tube over a kick boat. You can stand up to pee or fold down your waders and commence from a sitting position. Just don't hit your reels. It's not a problem. If you fold your waders down in a float tube you will let water in since you will most likely be submerged from t...

How about the Delta Teen Team? There are always beginners starting out in that club and donations are welcomed.

Whew! Those fish are beautiful! That Ryan guy.....not so much.lol The lake looks awesome rite now, was up there Sunday for the student angler federation tourney, so glad there is water back in that pond!

All of my boat needs from motor to trailer are done by Jeremy at C&C marine in Citrus Hieghts awesome tech and done right the first time.

As mentioned above you can not go wrong with konocti vista casino hotel, as far as the lake, the whole thing is good get a map, study it and break it down by section, Clear lake is a fun lake but it also has a lot to offer at different times of the year, everyone fishes differently and prefers diffe...

Best advice anyone can get is go out and start throwing them, now, next week, next month and start experimenting with cover, open water weather conditions.... There never will be a shortcut to knowledge, knowledge earned is knowledge gained and only you can do that for yourself. Get and throw the ba...

The host hotel is the best in Oroville, ken is absolutely correct about being able to back the boat up to your room.they recently installed new outlets under the overhang and eyehooks for cords to be strung over head vs across the sidewalk. I have been staying there every season for quite a few year...

Do yourself a favor, take it over to Jeremy at C&C marine in Citrus Heights. None better as far as outboard techs go, it will be repaired correctly the first time. (916)-729-0590

I remember it like it was yesterday, I had just purchased my first real bass boat and was thinking about fishing at that level, I decided to hold off and fish as much as I could and hone my skills, 7 years later as a co-angler in the Bassmasters western open on Shasta I drew Robert Lee, being from t...
