Looking for someone in or around Modesto to wrap a console and windshield. Anybody have any recommendations? Thank You, hope everyone has a safe and good Holiday.

Lugnut

Great Job by these young anglers!!!! Does anyone happen to have a contact for these tournaments? We have a newly formed High School Team based out of Modesto and our looking for events for our team members.

Lugnut

Thanks for the info....I definitely will be hitting up America's Best at some point over the next couple months, been dying to get up to Berryessa for the first time. I ended up booking a room in Lucerne and plan on heading to Clear Lake. Not sure whats going on...fires all over now

Lugnut

I am trying to update my two Elite 7Ti's and Hook 5.........when I try to download the update, it keeps asking for authentication, and then kicks me out. Any ideas on how I can update my units?

Lugnut

Looking for recommendations on boat friendly hotels near Berryessa and Shasta. Planning a trip next weekend since the Luke Bryan concert in Mt. View was cancelled. Thanks for info

Lugnut

I must be missing the cost of a Team Entry......the Entry & Membership page only shows Pro/Am and Membership entries.

Lugnut

twin tail grubs work 50% or the time EVERYTIME!! and salty chunk I was just up there for four days......we caught a TON of fish, just no size.....largest 2.5lbs....but they were eating 1/4oz. brown jigs with 4" twin tails / zoom super chunk jr as well as 1/2oz. green pumpkin and brown/purple s...

Buy a newer used glass boat and fish out of it til you die. By the time you retire a new top of the line glass bass boat is going to cost $125K. A 2013 glass boat will be just fine in 2033 for fun fishing or if you want to compete in larger tournaments. You can add the latest accessories and repowe...

Lugnut

I started in an aluminum years ago, and I've owned four different glass boats over the years. Just over a year ago I traded in my 2000 19'6" Stratos towards a 2016 Ranger RT 188. I will admit, on a few (very few) occasions I have missed the speed, and big water my Stratos could handle....but th...

Guess will just have to wait and see, sounds like the eco system of the lake is going through a rough time. I am guessing if it was an easy fix it would've been done already, right?

Lugnut

First several times I threw them, I threw them like some other small swimbaits...weighted swimbait hooks, yeah they were totally ineffective, as in zero, zilch, nada, nothing!!! I found a LITTLE success rigging them with an owner flashy swimmer, working it like a dying shad (on bottom, with a little...

Lugnut

Dirt Bags!!! What part of Modesto if you don't mind me asking? Any description of the POS's?

Lugnut

Check out http://www.bassboatcentral.com they have the best boat forums on the net. You'll find out the good, the bad, and the ugly on both.

Lugnut

Thanks Mark!!! I made plans to go try a new launch at the Delta Sunday after your first response, bummer!! I will definitely make plans to get down there...it may be a fish the evening bite, sleep in my truck and fish the next day kind of trip

Lugnut

Dobyns Champion 805 - Great for 10XD's, DD22's, and other large, deep diving crankbaits....I still throw the 400 Series Poes....

Lugnut

I will be doing fishing reports again for both Eastman and Hensley lakes for the fresnobee on weds. I'm currently getting my bassboat I just got refitted with trolling motor graphs and interior. I most likely be fishing two to three times a week when I start back I have to come back slowly and pace...

Lugnut

Chad, do you know if any local High School tournaments besides the State Championship?

Lugnut

We have a few high school fisherman interested in starting a High School team based out of Modesto. We've received the information from FLW but we're wondering if anybody had a contact for the Turlock or any other local teams that we could ask a few questions too?

Lugnut

Thank You!!! Was actually going to call the shop and ask you or Richard the scoop.....lol

Lugnut

Just wondering how Shasta is in mid September?

Tournament fisherman do NOT have any more of a right then any other anglers...at least in my opinion.

I am pretty sure it happens on every body of water where fishing and recreation are allowed. I have stories like all the rest of you folks....best one is I am on Clearlake, flipping a dock that's suspended about 6-7' out of the water, and maybe 4' wide......boat comes flying in, comes off pad, and s...

Lugnut

Steve if you'll give us a call at 530-671-1989 We'll ask questions like---Where are you fishing this rod? Line size? Casting or spinning? Ask about how much power you're looking for and so forth. We can help dial you right into the rod you're really needing. We do this 50+ times everyday so we're p...

Delta Craw Speed Trap is THE go-to! I've been throwing Delta Red and Firetiger Speed Traps, on the Delta with tremendous success for YEARS!!! I have to credit Gary Dodyns for talking me into trying them out, after watching his tank demo at one of the San Jose (I believe) ISE shows. He demonstrated ...

Lugnut

Just wondering if the Horseshoe Bend ramp is open?

Lugnut

Does anybody know of an aftermarket mounting bracket for an Elite 7Ti? I have already replaced two on the bow of my RT 188 since I bought it in June. This is by far the worst mount Lowrance has ever produced. The unit is loose in the mount, the unit falls down no matter how hard it's tightened.........

Lugnut

I made a deal on my prop, it is no longer available. Thanks Mr. King

Lugnut

Clear Lake Vista Resort in Soda Bay is hard to beat. Indian Beach over in Clearlake Oaks, is pretty cool. That being said, our club stays at Konocti.....it's ok, just not very centralized.

Godsent - Thank You for viewing, I do not have the Johnson anymore, pretty much the reason I am selling the prop.

I have a Renegade 4 Blade Stainless Prop #175738 - 13 1/2X25 prop that is in like NEW condition. Prop was my spare for a '00 Johnson 200HP, but should fit some other models, and I was told by several people the hub could be switched out to fit a Mercury....but that's just what I've been told, defini...

Just last week I bought a Dobyns FR 705 CB with the intention of giving it to my wife. She doesn't care for my CB 805's due to the extra length that I prefer. I took the 705 out for a test-run yesterday just to make sure the reel I put on it was a good match. I had a square bill on it and was fishi...

Lugnut

It's good to hear positive comments about local businesses, to often we only hear the negative. I fish quite a bit in that area, never had a reason to stop.....but I will make it a point now, even if it's just to grab a soda. Have to support the folks that help us out.

Lugnut

I have a couple Champion's and a couple Fury's....IMHO, the Fury 705CB for a $109 is hard to beat, abs talk about versatile!!!

Lugnut

AWESOME!!!! Thank for sharing....I was hoping this post sparked up everyone's memories.....Western Bass is still a great website, but the fun we use to have on NCBF will be hard to beat.

I was telling somebody the other day about NCBF....they had a lost look in there eyes...kind of like when I tell somebody I went or I am going to Delta Bait & Tackle....guess I am getting old

Lugnut

I was kind of bummed....couldn't find any Dobyns today, not sure if I missed them or they just weren't there. I even checked out the two tackle stores....nada

Guess I'll get me some free stickers, and shirts....Tackle Warehouse here I come

Lugnut

Gotta be careful some guys claim to know what there doing and saving a buck could cost a fortune. A shop screws your stuff up they are obligated to make it right. Yep....especially around here. Man, I've heard some horror stories.....C&C Marine is my go to, been going there the last 25 years an...

Lugnut

Any idea on cost? I looked at the link, and still has just the basic info. Thanks

Lugnut

Back in the day, before they installed the gate / shack, and started charging. It was extremely shady to say the least, tweakers, drug dealers, and prostitutes ran wild down there. Had to pull the handgun out and set it on the deck a couple times to discourage a few folks from whatever they had plan...

Lugnut

Does anybody know the cost and where to get an Annual Pass for Ladd's?

Lugnut

Just second hand info, but I've heard that Camanche is off the hook, and Bullards has been tough. I would be on Camanche in a heart beat if I could get out there this weekend.

Lugnut

Looks like quite a bit of new western blood headed out there. Have to say good luck to JIM MOULTON, fellow Modesto AmBassAdor and owner of C&C Marine.

Lugnut

There was one in the Stockton turning basin on Saturday. I saw a group of birds, thought I was going to get on some stripers, then noticed they were only going crazy because the sea lion was shredding and tossing fish. We headed about 1/2 mile past it, next thing we know it's popping up a few feet f...

Lugnut

Answered on the Lowrance forum....Thanks Edd

Lugnut

That's my luck, first year I can make it...lol

I think I will compile my questions, and hit the booth like you suggested, thanks for the info

Lugnut

Just wondering if there going to have the Lowrance classes like in years past? Can't find it in the program
