No glitches, It seems to take a little to get out of the hole, But I want to keep the top end. I have some scuffs on one of the blades and I need to get fixed. I just dont have a back up. If if takes a little to get out of the hole, you may want to pitch down to a 24 3-blade. You will lose some top...

P-LINE. Abrasion resistance factor; Never had a fish break the line on a hookset to date. I've had other lines break; Sunline, Berkley, BPS and Yozuri-- more than once.

Just fished ABA Folsom last week with my son. We have fished some tournaments before just for fun, and I have taken him out numerous times over the last 10 years. He is 14 and friends and the X-box run his life. Going into the tourney, I knew I was going up against some serious sticks. I had to tell...

I think the new government will use global warming as an excuse to tax the heck out of gas to generate revenue. It will have nothing to do with production costs. Heck 2 states already talked about gps in every vehicle and a tax per mile driven. Not exactly logical for conservation but it does say a...

A 100â€™ rope does not need to be in your boat. Aside from having a 100' rope attached to the throwable device debate, I have towed and have been towed due to mechanical failures on the water. I wouldn't want anything less than 75' in my storage. That's at least 6 car lengths. If your boat breaks d...

Lets face it, for most people, buying fishing tackle is discretionary spending, and I can tell you that with people losing their 401ks (or are they now 201ks?) fishing tackle sales are taking a hard hit! It's actually 200.5Ks If you guys want to save some serious $$$$ and get the best bargains out ...

When the boat has alot of gas (1/2 of tank to full) and the livewells are full, the boat is a dog and takes a bit to get on plane. Did this issue just start or has it been ongoing? Does the boat get on plane with relative ease with a full tank and no water in the live wells? If not, the TPI (thrott...

Do any of you guys have an idea what my problem is besides not knowing how to fish? I need to get it running by Thursday. Marty, What year is your truck? As mentioned before, did the "check engine light" come on at all? If not, and you have already spent 1K with no resolve, you need to fi...

Sounds like another conspiracy boiling. Just another way for the our wonderful State to try to make money from boaters. Funny how they "show you in writing after the rule becomes law". How many boaters knew of this? Last I heard, the throwable cushion only had to be "in the boat"...

What you fail to understand is that there is not a safety issue on Folsom now that wasn't present at Berryessa last weekend. You had debris and you have debris on Folsom right now. We have the same issue every spring and safe and prudent drivers always prevail. Scott, You are obviously a seasoned a...

I understand the the need for power generation; but I don't have much faith for maintaining the lake level in order to lift the 5MPH limit for any length of time. Somebody is getting paid.

The lake has been on the rise all day and then at night they are releasing it. Anybody know why....kb If they held enough water to go beyond the "Fabulous Flippin' 400" mark and THEN release as needed, that would allow boaters who live in the area to actually use their boats, which in tur...

Alex,

Actually, Fresno already has had the reputation for being "The armpit of California" for quite some time now!!

Saving water for what? To help the farmers or keep the salinity levels at the Delta from getting too high? Either way, the magic # we want is 400 to lift the 5MPH limit, right?

Rog,

I hear that no matter how much rain/snow we get, Folsom is going to be the "sacraficial" lake this year due to the damn project.
Any updates that you've heard of?

Tom, My tax accountant said that legally, the State can only sustain the IOU's for 46 days, after which, the State must pay interest on the IOU's. With all of the IOU's being issued, this would put our State even deeper in the hole. I believe that is why the State is issuing them for 30 days. Let's ...

I can only speak for Mercury outboards; it is normal. I was concerned about the "slop" on mine without dragging it in the sand. My tech reassured me that up to about 1/8" is normal. If you notice an abnormal vibration on your next outing that wasn't there before you drug it in the san...

From Vallejo, I-80 to 505, then West on 128 (Winters) to Markley Cove (first launch closest to the Dam). I would definitely call Markley Cove to check the water level beforehand.

Veteran and newcomers to 100% Bass; Spanish Flat Resort is officially closed for the time being.
