I'm 45 and I spend my tournament day paddling and oaring in a kickboat for 9 hours a day. I try to get plenty of rest the day before an event. I also try to get in a few workouts each week along with some mountain biking. I think if your triing to go from 0 all week to 100 for a day on the water you...

It's all of the above. Remember the saying, "The Good Ol Days"? Well, these are the good ol days. Anglers are getting better at catching and there's more and more anglers every day getting hooked on the sport of bass fishing. There are still plenty of hogs out there, we just need to up our...

Check out a Bucksbag Southfork Kick boat or a Bucksbag High & Dri round tube. These are high quality boats that will last you a long long time. I have fished from these boats for many years and they are roomy and safe. http://www.bucksbags.com/cm_cat.asp?id=4 For more information on float tubes ...

Does anyone know what channel it will be on with the Dish Network?

I have found that the best thing to do when I get cut off while fishing in my kick boat is to just enjoy the A--H--- for his rudeness. I never say a thing to someone that clueless Getting cut off in a kick boat while fishing CL & the Delta will always happen by 1% of the bass boats the other 99%...

After walking around Lake Port and running into all the big names here and there was like a bass anglers dream. I'm glad they don't come every year. It's a cool treat when they do come out west. Nothing like eating dinner and Mr. Clunns having dinner a table or two away, or how about bumping into th...

Hi all, Im Rich Caro, AKA CATCHEMCARO. Im the founder and President of the Sonoma County Belly Boat Bass Club. I have been fishing for as long as I can remember.

Greg I have seen most of the different kick boat brands on the water and the VV are sweet, but the Bucksbag Southfork kicks bass. You can check them out up at Clear Lake Outdoors and Clear Lake bait & Tackle. If your in the northbay area just PM me and I'll take you out for a few hour's and let ...

Rich

CATCHEMCARO

The Sonoma County Belly Boat Bass Club will be blasting off at AM Saturday the 14th at the end of Guard road in Whites Slough. So if your in the area please keep an eye open for float tubers and kick boaters. We'll have around 35 to 40 tubers on the water.
Thanks

You will pay twice as much for a plastic round tube bladder then you will for a regular rubber 20" truck tire tube. I replace mine every other year and they'll run you about $20.00. Rubber truck tubes are much safer then neopreme plastic bladders. You can get intouch with Dave Klien at Bucksbag...

A kick boat starts to sound better and better ever time I pass up the gas station.

Motion sprinklers, they keep me away from certain docks while in my float tube when it's cold out. When it's hot, well thats a whole nother situation.

Rich

CATCHEMCARO

Way to go Tom. I think this is the Tom that I fished my first real boat tournament with on the Delta several years back with the Federation. Is this the Tom that had the sweet Cobra boat back then? If so, a 13 pounder couldn't come to a cooler angler.

Rich

Thanks Tony for the good information. I have been lucky enough to go to a Classic in Pittsburg, and if your into bass fishing at all its unreal.

These baits are killer. I fished a float tube tournament this past Sunday with the San Jose Bass-N-Tubes on the Delta and I was using a Mavericks BH Swimbait in Chartruse Shad. I used a 1/2 oz Kalins jig head to swim the bait down to 15' on the end of some docks in Whiskey Slough. I was slow rolling...

Thanks for all the in-site and good information from everyone. It's good to know that the SCBBBC isn't alone on this issue. I would like to start a petition of some sort and help get this ball rolling a little faster. If someone can step up and create an official petition sheet and post it so we can...

These people want to charge a float tube club $300.00 for one tournament at the Capell free ramp. It doesn't matter if we have 10 or 30 tuber's, $300.00 for nothing. I can't beleive they are able to do this. We deleted that lake from our schedual and replaced it with Lake Sonoma's Yorty Creek. Are o...

That was me in the red Bass Tech Bucksbag Kickboat. Thanks to all the boaters who gave me plenty of elbo space. I ended a two day run with 44 pounds for ten fish. When its your day, there's no stoping it. My thumb is still raw.

My 8' Bucksbag Southfork is the only way to go. It handles rough water great and you can beat the gas milage.

I have been fishing Scotts Flat with my family since 1966. I love that lake. You would have to launch out of gate # 1. That way you could fish the dam are where there's lots of rock and smallies.

Gate # 2 is more red mud and large mouth. I bet the waters way low now too.

Rich

CATCHEMCARO

Im there on the 24th as well as some of my fishing buddy's. Is this a float tube only derby or are kick boats with Oars allowed? I still like dropping in in the good ol Bucksbag Round tube, Hi&Dry.

CATCHEMCARO

It sounds great. Please set the date around our clubs Blue Lake tournament this weekend and be sure it's not during our TOC at Clear Lake Nov 16th and 17th. I will probably be there with members in tow. We'll need to know your rules and reg's. I remember you mentioning some thing about weighing the ...

CATCHEMCARO

Congratulations. I have fished a few of those big show's at the back and it can be very tough. For you to have back to back wins is amazing for sure. Keep it going Justin.

Good information, I'll check it out and get the parts for both of my reels.
Thanks again

I have two Citica 200D's and one of them has a line guide that sticks only in one direction and it's a pain. I took it apart tonight and the little metal guide that follow's the slot's looks as if it's in great shape. Is it worth it to send it in some where? and if so where do you guy's send your re...

Thanks for the kind words. As our sport of float tubing and kick boating grows more popular we are trying to set high standards in the fish handling part of this sport. As more and more anglers can't aford a $50.000.00 fishing platform to compete for an angler of the year tital they are now moving t...

On behalf of the SCBBBC and myself I would like to thank Andrew and Jack for coming out and setting up and cooking all the burgers and hot dogs for those hungry float tuber at the SCBBBC 20th State Classic tournament at Clear Lake. And thanks to all you boaters that gave us the run of the lake.

We're only a small float tube club, but we only allow two official club weigh bags to be used unless an angler need's more do to his fish being a 5 pounder or larger. This extends the weigh-in, but it let's all of us enjoy watching each one of our club members while they weigh-in. We used to use to ...

Southfork kick boat, Beacon harbor, 24 pound limit. This is one of the reason's we use kickboats. Low budget, big fishing fun.

Make sure you have your frame set forward enough on the pontoons. You need to distribute the weight. When I have my live-well on my rear deck of my Bucksbag Southfork Bass Tech boat I have to move my frame forward about 6" otherwise the deck sits very low. When I don't have the live-well on the...

Sounds like fun. Don't forget to post your result. Put up a post on the SCBBBC Forum and the Bass-N-Tubes forum. This would be where you'll get alot of interest from float tubers all over California. I might even have to attach the ol trolling motor to the Bass Tech kick boat and join ya. Ever think...

Get the waders with the booties. Hodgmans is the brand, Simms makes a good pair of waders too. I have used breathable Hodgmans for a couple years now. I use 3 MM Hodgmans in the dead of winter. Then get yourself a good pair of dive fins, they'll set ya back about $60.00, but worth every penny. They'...

Put yourself in a float tube and someone pulls infront or worse, behind you and they start working their way down the bank. Then as they get within talking distance of you they then put the trolling motor on high and zip around and infront of you and continue working down the bank after wishing you ...

Do yourself a favor and check out Bucksbag tubes. www.bucksbag.com Their round tubes, Mustang U-boat or Southfork Pontoon boat are top quality. Just check them out before you purchase a boat. Keep in mind, you only buy one as it will last a long time. All the brands are good, so no matter which one ...

That would be a bummer to come in from a great day fishing and have it end that way. I have never heard of such a thing. I would think you would get your entry fee's back do to the misunderstanding. I guess it was still beter then being at work.

I knew it was only a matter of time before Skeet took # 1. I bet it won't take long for him to do it again. Now the AOY will fall into his lap. Way to slay Skeet. Keep it going.

We wil...

Try a Bucksbag Southfork Kickboat. You'll have plenty of room to store it and you'll still have $24.000.00 in your savings. You'll catch a heck of a lot more fish too, LOL.
