Where are you located?

Burke

You can head toward Frank's Tract or Potato Slough. I've fished the Mokelumne shoreline all the way down to where it meets the San Joaquin and have done pretty good.

Did I win?? I see that the big fish weight was 8.87 lbs.

Giants Win!!!!

8.87 lbs.

I agree with Willie and Gene. I use a Powell 735 for my frog rod as well as my cranking rod.

Sorry, George, not Scott Burke. I fish just for fun.

For those of you that like to use dressed treble hooks on their lures, I found a company, Villlage Tackle, in Michigan that makes them. They are having a $0.99 sale on many of their dressed hooks (Eagle Claw [2X hooks - 3 to a pack] and Owner [4X hooks - 1 to a pack]) until May 15th. If you spend ov...

Do you have pictures?

What's the model number of the Skeet Reese rod? Thanks.

PM sent.

Which size are these? 4 inch or 6 inch.

If they are Shimano reels, you are better off shipping them to Dan at Reel-Ex. He's got a 96 hour turnaround. His telephone number, 650-454-4938, and his website, www.reel-ex.com. He's serviced reels for many of the users on this forum, including me.

My two cousins and I use straight braid all the time (flipping, cranking, top water, swimbaits, worms, drop shotting, etc.). Never have had any problems with fishing straight braid.

Burke

I bought a bunch of stuff. Was looking for the tandem spinnerbaits too.

Burke

Did you try calling the Oakley store....888-625-4665 or 925-625-2441?

Hitman, When the salmon move into the fresh water for spawning, they will not eat at all. The only reason salmon will hit lures when you are tossing/jigging them in their general area is that you piss them off so they will strike out at the lure. I've run into schools of salmon in dead end sloughs t...

The picture you took last year looks like what we encountered about a week ago. We did the same trip. Parts of White slough is full of hyacinth. None on Little Potato. Patches of it on the Mokelume River. Very little in Sycamore and Hog sloughs. The back part of both sloughs is so thick with the elo...

Burke

Have you checked the water level on the battery? My cousin was having the same problem and we checked the water level. A couple of the cells were dry and others were not full. Once we filled them, the trolling motor ran longer. Also, we let the battery charge until we take the boat out of the garage.

For those of you that like to use dressed treble hooks on your lures, I found a great company in Michigan that makes custom dressed trebles in whatever color combination that you want. They go out of the way to get whatever hooks that you want to use. I had them make me dressed treble hooks using Ow...

What's your selling price?

Burke

Before you hit the water, you'll pay close to $15.00 in fees for the car/boat. In addition, each person has to pay a $4.00 fishing fee. Of course, there's no guarantee you'll catch. I would go to the delta too.

Bass Pro Shops has a sale. Bass Tackle Depot has a 20% sale

Burke

John, Your list of "must do" items are exactly the same things that I do. For me, the most important item is to change out "stock" stuff for higher quality stuff if the lure doesn't come with the higher quality stuff. Besides hooks, I also change out the split rings. If the lure ...

That was fantastic!!! Loved to see the misses as well as the hookups.

Years ago, I use to work across the street from Lake Merritt. Friends of mine that lived in the area say the water is so polluted that the only thing that lives in the lake is algae. The only things that I ever saw that got fished out of Lake Merritt were body parts and a horse. Yes, a horse. It was...

Is the 703, a CB or CEF rod. Thanks.

Burke

It's hard to avoid them this time of the year. If you fish weekdays, there's normally fewer water skiers/wakeboarders out there. Picking narrower sloughs or sloughs with a lot of bends will help, but not always. Here's two personal experiences with water skiers/wakerboarders/weekend cruisers in the ...

Burke

Glad to see that you had a great time. Did you go beyond the bridge in the back of Beaver Slough? Years ago, within 6 casts, I caught two bass, one tipped the scales at 7.2 pounds and the second one weighed 6.1 pounds on a 1/2 oz Persuader spinnerbait. My favorite slough in that area is Sycamore Slo...

One of my buddies has been fishing Snodgrass Slough and catching a lot of bass using Senkos and spinnerbaits. Biggest ones have been around 5 pounds.

Burke

Got mine today...

Burke

It appears some people are getting it faster than 6-8 weeks.

Burke

I am also wondering how long it takes to get the line. I ordered on March 4th and haven't seen it yet.

Haven't gone out this year yet so I don't know the current conditions at those areas, but I fish those areas alot. Paradise Marina is right at Disappointment Slough. As soon as you leave the marina and head toward the San Joaquin River, you encounter a series of islands (starting less than 100 feets...

You can fish Montezuma Slough. The water in that area is brackish so bank fishing will be fishing for striped bass or sturgeon. Follow Grizzly Island Road out of Fairfield/Suisun City area. Keep driving until you come to Montezuma Slough (you'll have to drive about 5 miles through the country once y...

Ty,

Because it looks like a snake and probably moves through the water pretty cool, I would call it "SLITHER".

Haven't had a chance to use the baits I bought last year, but they look great.

There's some more of their junk in the Classified section.

I'll buy them. PM sent.

I do it to maintain the tension on the line so that I can control the fish as well prevent the fish from unhooking. Each time that a fish turns, I swing my rod to the opposite direction that the fish is moving. This allows me to instantly turn the head of the fish if I need to, especially if the fis...

Burke

It depends upon what I'm mainly fishing for. For black bass, I use a Lamiglas XCF705R and Shimano Curado reel with 65 lb braid. I love fishing the trash fish over weedy areas so that's why I go with braid. For stripers, I like to swim the trash fish faster so I use a Powell 735MH with a Quantum Ener...

Burke

My main colors are white or white and chartruese. I have them in probably 6 or 7 different color combos.
