I want to chat with any of you that fish the Delta?

StogieMan

Can anyone tell me/ give me a contact for the NorCal Shimano/ Loomis rep?
I thought there was a guy from the Discovery Bay area but regardless I would appreciate the contact.

Send me a PM if you prefer.

I have a Z-520 with a worn out cover and need another. I don't have a preference for color or seat in / seat out style.

Anyone with an extra or used Z520 cover please give me a call or PM me here

StogieMan

The factory cover or my Z-520 has finally given up after almost 5 years.
Anyone have a Z-520 cover for sale, any color, any style please let me know!

We have a club event at Pardee in a few weeks, this weekend I am headed up to prefish and it "looks like" I can get a hall pass for the entire weekend. I am not really much of a camper, and more to the point my partner is not. Does anuyone have experience with lodging in the area, does lod...

How do I find Gary?

I want to have my boat re-carpeted and would appreciate some suggestions.
Who did the work?
How long did it take?
Were you satisfied?
How Much?

StogieMan

Well thre is nothing quite like cramming as many club events as possible into one weekend is there!
And yes, my club is one of those on this list

yep, and it sounds like the Harbor is almost a done deal as well! Different group though. Dan Hi Dan, Can you explain what is being discussed here about the harbor, local 38 etc? Our club has frequented the Ferndale over the years, in fact I think we were the last group to stay there prior to the c...

and thought it was a very good show. Lot's of information and lot's of product to be had. My wallet is several hundred lighter than before :D I was pleasantly surprised to see such a large crowd so things must be looking up. The Bass Tank Seminars were great as always. The only thing that did not go...

So I did something a little diffrent, we hit the Delta which was a first for my brother and I bought a couple of dozen jumbo minnows rather than rely entirely on my ability to catch Delta fish this time of year. :mrgreen: All I can say is WOW! I found fish I never knew were there, in places I never ...

StogieMan

Thanks Pete, your the man!

StogieMan

This will be the first time me and my big brother are going fishing and I want him to catch fish, even though he will be with me

Anyone know where the best bite is right now?

There has been so much talk lately about fishing this circuit or that circuit and it seems that the TD has a major role in the overall experience. So allow me to tell you a quick story and it is about a guy who is now a TD. Several years ago I was fishing an Anglers Choice Team, it was a Delta circu...

He took care of me when I broke down at Shasta years ago, treated me like family even though we never met before.
God Speed!

StogieMan

Nice Boat!
Does it have a Bimini Top?
What about a swing away tounge?

StogieMan

Myself and 2 other members of my club are looking at buying new bass boats, 20 to 21 footers.
Currently we are all in different brands but if (IF) a dealer wants to make a deal and sell 3, we are not brand loyal, just want a great deal, no BS. So there it is!
Stogieman Out.

I guess it depends on your budget. Both Deans and Aurora and high end, custom covers that will last your many years.
But for a point of reference, check out the top of the line, ratcheting coveres from Bass Pro too

StogieMan

I know this can and does happen anywhere there is water but for what ever reason it does seem (at least to me) that it is amplified at Clear Lake. I can't explain it nor do I understand why it seems to happen regularly at Clear Lake. On a seperate note** I hear someone who posted on this thread has ...

Kerry,
Say it aint so my brother!!!!!

StogieMan

I have dealt with Optima directly; if you consider the customer service email as direct interaction, it's really not.
I won't go into the details of my issue, but I will say they did nothing for me, absolutly nothing.

On the plus side they were very polite

It's been several weeks since I have been out and truth be told, I am getting itchy to wet a line. The Delta is so close to me that it always seems like a no brainer, but I am concerned about the lake lice, or whatever we call it on the Delta. :shock: Should I go out and tough it out, or stay home a...

I am headed to Bullards Bar for the first time, I am going up right after the holiday weeked. I have never been there before and it looks straight forward on the map, although in the dark it may be a challange but I plan to find the ramp at Dark Day. For those of you who have been there before, how ...

I am interested in what is now considered last years Shimano Chronarch. The reason it is last years model is beacuse the new stuff was just released at ICast. So specifically the reel is the Shimano Chronarch in left, model # CH101D7. I have called all the obvious places but may have missed someone,...

Mark,
As much as I hate to admit to any level of stupidity, i did not even know there was such a Shimano page!

James, thanks for the detailed reply. I had not considered the anchoring aspect at all. My thought process was getting into heavily matted sections of the Delta which seem to be the rule rather than the exception; and as good as my trolling motor is; I cant reach them at all or when/ if I can it is ...

StogieMan

I have seen TV shows of flats fisherman being push poles around by a guide. I wonder if this can be done with a bass boat? The Delta is shallow for the most part and I was curious if it could be done, or more to the point who has done it? On TV they push from the back, of course they have a client o...

I was on the water Sunday and they were doing the same thing at what I think is Holland cut at Franks Tract. As you come out of Franks and around the point to head South, (Holland Cut?) they were there handing out tickets becasue a boat was tied to a dock nearby. You should know that if the blue lig...

Another vote for the Maxxum. I have had several Maxxum's over the years and one (currently) Fortrexx.
Although the mount on the Fortrexx is solid, the shock has already gone away and as previously mentioned, the plastic on the housing has broken in several places.

StogieMan

I do catch more fish, but only those with a high Mercury content

StogieMan

yesterday I was doing some general maintanence in the driveway, checking to see if things were tight, when I got to the troller the actual motor itself grabbed my screwdriver, meaning its a strong magnet!
I dont ever remember that happening before ??

Marc,
I have a few questions and I don't want to take up space here.
Can we have some dialog on the side please.

Jim,
I too am in the market for a new prop. I have a Z520 with an Etec 250. Currently it runs what it came with, a 24" Raker II.
What Fury would you recommend and do you have one on the loaner program?

Yes they did, he handled it well as I recall

As a former Bass Cat owner and current Ranger owner I can tell you they are both great boats. The Ranger I have now is widely considered the "hot rod" of their line, a 250 powered Z520. Although my Ranger is not slow by any stretch, it can't compare to a Bass Cat with equal power. The Kitt...

I have my service done at BoatMasters in Livermore. They do a very good job which is what you asked about. Although I don't have a Power Pole I have seen them do several installs, meaning they have been there, done that, for what its worth.

The stuff you want is called ReviveX.
A treatment designed specifically for Goretex and available at REI
