And I see that the article you are referring to is about the 5 best Largemouth Rivers. Previous issue had the five best smallmouth rivers.

DC, I agree that the Delta should have made the list, and that it is much better than the Potomac. But I also strongly believe the Columbia does belong on this list...it is awesome, and you need 20 pounds of smallmouth to win a tourney many months here. The smallie fishing (and largemouth) is awesom...

Marc

Steve, You will be glad you didn't sell your Fish Hedz. The new lens is excellent, and meets all Milspec standards. The people applying the coatings are the same people doing it for military applications, and to the same specifications. Unfortunately there were many iterations of the previous lens f...

Marc

This situation exists all over the country during the prespawn and spawn. More large fish are caught by more people. A potential tournament anglers can go out in the spring and catch the biggest bass of their lives, and they figure they might have a chance to compete at a higher level...so they ente...

Marc

Jim, I wasn't there at the event, so I can only speculate so take my comments with that thought in mind... Even if every angler is conscientious and took care of their fish, there will still typically be floaters after the weigh-in and release process. This happens because the swim bladder has an am...

Marc

Congratulations, Sieg. Tom Coss Fishing is an excellent distributor to work with, and an excellent match for NoSweatMist.

...let me know what you find out.

Marc

Chris, I agree. I do the same thing with line unless I stuff it inside a mesh waste bag that I keep in a compartment. Too often line that is balled up and stuffed in a pocket for later disposal ends up blowing out of the boat and still doing damage, so cutting it up on the spot is preferrable to me....

Marc

And way to hang in there to get that 7.2 hawg! I agree that the "no net" rule is a raw deal, and as a biologist that also fishes for bass it is my opinion that more bass are harmed as a result of the "no net" rule, than are helped. Some people, BASS included, don't know the diffe...

Marc

Anglers Choice does have the magazine, and the tournament organization, but it is not yet near the level necessary to make a career of fishing western tournaments. I applaud what they are doing, and hope they grow their magazine subscriptions, adverstisers, and their tournament circuits with several...

Marc

As a member of BASS from its beginning, and having grown up on the east coast, I realized when I moved to the west that BASS only cares about the western anglers from the standpoint of magazine subscriptions and advertising dollars. There are many western anglers that can fish the pants off of touri...

Marc

Jeff, Your X25 will definitely show as good or better (depending on depth) than your 332, so something is wrong. I'm not sure how you are judging the detail that you comment on...is it because you don't see the same objects or fish that you are seeing on the rear? As I recall from a previous boat I ...

Marc

Rich,

I am very sorry to learn of your loss, and I will keep both your father and you in my prayers.

Marc

Marc

Steve, I had it on one of my previous boats, and overall I liked it. Just be sure to check the cone angle before you decide...it might not be to your liking. As I recall, the cone was much more narrow than my usual Lowrance Transducers, which was great in deep water, but not good at showing fish on ...

Marc

Kalan, I would still consider getting the GPS/combo unit even if you do not get the additional software due to expense. Even the background map that comes on the unit is better than squinting at a handheld while running on the water. You do not need MapCreate to save waypoints or routes...the Eagle ...

Marc

Rich, As the others have said, it is your hitch angle. This problem also occurs when anglers bend their hitch ball back from trying to pull a trailer out of the water after the wheels go past the end of the concrete ramp. I speak from experience after a trip to Black Meadow Landing on Havasu 20 year...

Marc

For those of you that have been trying to contact me about the rebate cards, I have been in Oregon since Thursday night to fish a tournament that was today on the Boardman Pool of the Columbia. I do have more rebate cards, so they will go out in Monday's mail. If anyone else needs any, just email yo...

Marc

I primarily your McCoy for cranking, because some stretch is usually more good than harmful with lures with treble hooks; but I do occasionally use 12 Sugoi fluorocarbon when cranking rock piles (for abrasion resistance) and when I need a deeper retreive. The sinking nature of fluorocarbon can come ...

Marc

And to make the deal even sweeter, I have rebate cards that will get you your choice of a free lens, or a T-Shirt, or a Cap. Just email your mailing address to me at LimitBy9@aol.com. If you are in Washington and would like to try one, email me and we will arrange it. ciao, Marc Marcantonio Fish Hed...

Marc

Steve, Don't worry, bass fishing is alive and well up here in the northwest. Although it is colder on your side of the mountains than mine, the bass fishing is really much better than most realize. There are also a lot of bass fishermen up in the area you are moving to. In fact, Luke Clausen is from...

Marc

Nick, Nice to see you post here. I enjoyed meeting your club when I taught the dropswimming seminar (for your club and the Capital City Bassmasters). Northwest Bass (www.nwbass.net) is an excellent circuit, and draws the largest turnout in the northwest. Gary and Lisa Stiles run the circuit, and the...

QuickDrops come packed 10 to the package, regardless of size, so you aren't paying for packaging. They should be available in your local store.

Congratulations, KB! I have no doubt this will be an exciting show, and I'm only disappointed in that it won't reach here in Washington.

I just found out that the UPC code for those who purchase the Blem Special is not needed (as I previously posted) to get the rebate. When you get your rebate card from me in the mail, it will say Blem Special on it, and that will suffice for the UPC code, since the Blem Specials did not ship with a ...

Hey guys and gals, don't forget that this Northwest forum includes many other states besides California, and there are still positions open outside of California. Get to the website and sign up!

Max, I use the clear lens the most. For your second lens I would get one that makes your Fish Hedz look cool, or else I would get an extra clear one in case you ever scratch your clear lens. I wear prescription sunglasses under my Fish Hedz, so I don't like using the tinted lens overtop of my sungla...

Marc

I just sent you a response to your email. Save Phace has corrected the lens issue by going to the same antifog coating that is used on miliary lenses. They are replacing every bad lens anyone has, regardless of when they purchases. This company stands behind its product, and wants the customer to be...

Marc

That is a great deal on a great product, and if you buy one and email me your address, I will mail you a rebate card that will get you a free lens (even the tinted ones). Just send in the rebate card, and the UPC and receipt.

It is a great deal on a great product, and if you contact me with your address by email, I'll send you a rebate card which you can send in with your UPC and receipt when you register your Fish Hedz, and you can get a free lens, even the tinted lens!

P.S. Wish I was there. Congrats to Korny as Top Nut!!

Marc

Kentuck, You mentioned you already have an Eagle unit on the console that has some issues. The first thing I would do is call 1-800-324-1356 and speak with their technical help about the "issues". I will assume it is an older moldel that is no longer in production. In this case they will n...

Marc

...but I could do so better if I had some additional information from you. There are lots of good sonar choices out there, so you can get exactly what will be best for you rather than someone else. What is your budget? What are your expectations of the unit? Do you want to see baitfish, bottom compo...

Marc

Korny,

Just wondering which geographical area you are going to be pulling anglers from? Sounds like a great idea, and I know it will be well run.

ciao,
Marc

Marc

...you crack me up.

Can you maybe take it back and get a refund?

I would have spoken up sooner but I try to only answer questions about products that are asked, as I know some view these posts as "commercials" (which is not my intent).

ciao,

Marc

Tobe, You don't need to call, just send back the rod and your check, but feel free if you would like to talk to Josh directly: 360-225-9436, press 0, and ask the operator for Josh Cooper. KB is right on the money about the new rods, and the people at Lamiglas. They have stayed in business over 50 ye...

My sponsor (Wilcox Marketing) has the Camelbak hydration units available as well as all the XS Energy products that I use. Here is the info I got from him: Camelbak Rogue Hydration Pack Go longer and feel stronger with 70 oz. of hands-free hydration capacity. External reservoir access. Air-mesh harn...

Marc

Tobe, The reason I asked if you shipped it directly or not, is because all too often the delay is on the part of the store. Recognize that most stores only ship after gettting several broken rods, and they save on shipment that way and don't have to make a lot of transactions. In the store's defense...

Marc

The Army is using these, and they are really popular with the bike crowd up here too. I need to look into one of these to use with XS Energy drinks loaded inside.

ciao,

I'm afraid that BASS is shooting themselves in the foot as I have been saying. We saw this coming. BASS grew the sport from nothing to something great by developing several different levels of tournament competition that progressed to the professional level. It worked well as evidenced by a tremendo...

Marc

Did you mail it directly to Lamiglas, or take it to a dealer? Incidentally, most rods that are damaged from being stepped on, or scratched by rubbing against something, break on a hookset because loading the rod causes the scratch to break the rod.

Marc

Try the XS Energy drinks. They work great and give you needed energy and vitamins without the harmful stimulants or sugar that other energy drinks are loaded with.

They have a quencher, and cans of carbonated energy drinks for even more kick, and Energy bars.

Mark, Being manufactured in the northwest where most guys experience with rods were the 8 foot plus models for steelhead and salmon, many of the anglers up here don't use hookkeepers and view them as "unnecessary", and something to get in the way of your second hand on the rod while fighti...

Marc

Your picture gives away your secret...No wonder you can catch bass on that Spot Sticker...you are fishing in an aquarium! I grew up on the east coast, and it was much more important to be able to accurately cast than it was to be subtle with the lure or rig. Moving to the west coast, and spending 13...

I like the change.
