I didn't mention Americas best, but lets just say we were there last year. Lock your stuff in your room, don't put a cover on your boat either. Covers were cut to get to stuff. I did like the place and it's really setup well for boaters and small clubs that like to stay together. We just had problem...

R. Duzac

I actually agree on this one. Last couple of times our club has gone there we've had issues. Sort of thing that keeps a club from going back again is too many bad experiences regardless of what they are. Two years ago I resorted to leaving the Motel 6 at 10 and getting my refund for that night. Slep...

Thanks,
Very helpful.

I'm on a PC and the usual zoom features didn't work. Zoom in - single click left mouse key Zoom out - single click left mouse key To move around on page while zoomed in - click and hold left mouse key and drag on page. Magazine looks great and it looks like some great articles. Hope I get the chance...

I was up at Bullards Bar this weekend and I thought there was something wrong with my motor. I didn't think we were at that high of altitude but I rarely have my boat much above 1000' see level. After talking with most everyone else they recognized the power loss as well. I have a 1997 - 18'.6"...

R. Duzac

I don't think you would want to do that I believe if you have power to the contacts it will cause extra corrosion at the contacts. Not 100% sure though. I have seen similar problem before and it was actually the contact between the light and it's contact inside the light itself. Have you tried clean...

happy Birthday Cooch,
See you at Mel's!

Hey Scott, good post.
I will not be able to make it tonight.
This will bump this back to the top so hopefully others will see as well.

Has anyone contacted Derrick and answered his question yet??? It may be as simple as safety or low tide concerns. May not be fishing holes at all. I don't know it very well, and have probably only been in there a hand full of times so I'm not the one with good knowledge. Hopefully his questions do g...

Mike, I'm Rene with Bassbusters. I've been in the club for about 15 years now. We do have a very good and fun club. The club is about fishing with friends and learning, competition is there too but it's at a fun level. We fish for plaques only and have side bets for big fish that is optional. Cost f...

Sorry for the late response, but one of the reason I'm asking is a guy from our club call and said they are completely book the weekend of our tournament.

What about another fairly good, bass fishing friendly hotel?

Thanks,
Rene

I'm looking for a good place to camp near I5 at Shasta. Truck and Trailer
I'm trying to cut down on my budget.
Needs to have Hook Up to charge boat and Showers would definitely be a plus.

Club is launching out of Obrian.

Here are a couple articles written on the subject.

I think I could really enjoy reading like this, probably works great for IPad users as well.

This is great advise for everyone. I've seen a lot of issues with Club Members that did not have the right equipment. I also keep a 4x8 piece of wood with an angle cut into it. If you get a flat and pull off the road your trailer could be so low that you can't even get a jack under it. You put the b...

Your rod size sounds good too me. Have you been using it for awhile, if not don't give up on it? I'm 5'9" and use a G-Loomis Cranking rod that is 6'6" and wish it was the 7' model. Dobyns does make a rod that would be great, but the one I'm thinking of is a 7' model. "on my list"...

R. Duzac

what are you asking for the 522?
I have one on my Console, and wouldn't mind one on my bow.

Can't afford the upgrade to the new ones, wish I could.
What did you put on. I was thinking the HDS10 on console and HDS8 on bow (about $5K, ouch)

Rene

R. Duzac

Thanks for your responses, keep them coming.
I always look at the Hopkins and to imagine something that has been around much longer than the others and is still the bait that consistently works.

This weekend I was fishing and really felt the spoon should have done the trick.
I didn't have any luck.

Just curious.

Lake Fork Spoon, Hopkins, Other.
I was using a Revenge.

Strike King Sexy Spoon looks like a good spoon too.

Thanks for all input.

I had bad experience with both Goodyear and Carlisles. Both bad wear and blow outs at speed. I've tried all of the proper maintenance tips as well. I am trying a new tire (for me that is). It's only been on for awhile now so I can't give too much input. I know the boat does ride better on the tire. ...

R. Duzac

If you are that serious you may try to convince someone to fish as a pro by helping out with their sign in fees. I know it's a lot, but there may be someone out there that is just saying it's a little too steep and would be convinced to fish with a little help. I believe your locked in if you sign u...

Just reading the stories from everyone on her who may have only met him for a short moment somehow he managed to touch them in such a positive way. That's one heck of a legacy.

My heart also goes out to Stout family and friends.

How's this project going.
Would really like to see some updated pictures.

Really Cool.

Can anyone remember when Honda came out with the Oval Piston 4 stroke to compete with the superbikes? It was around 1980. It also had about 150 HP with a readline around 17K RPM. I've looked for articles because it was a really engineering piece of work. If anyone has a URL to with information on it...

R. Duzac

Thanks Everyone,
It's been so long since I've been up that way that I forgot about glory hole.

Thanks Joe for the detailed report.

Can anyone give a run down on current conditions at the lake.
Water Level, Fishing conditions, what to watch out for?

Thanks,

Gumpa, I understand your fear. My partner and I will be there and my boat will be empty except for Berkley baits. There's always ways to cheat, but I'm going out there to enjoy a different kind of format, and of course hopefully win some money. My concern is actually safety with the weigh-ins as oft...

I've won $100 for Walmart through FLW.
I've also came in 9 overall for the season in BASS, but that year was really poor for rewards and only received a autographed book.

But all free of cost, so can't complain.

How about a small CO2 cartridge in the butt end of the rod, then design it like the vest all of us where these days. Drops in the water, wait 1 minute and your rod floats to the surface! It could probably be designed as an and on device. Balance point would be tough and avoiding areas where your han...

R. Duzac

The only mistake is the signs look "Homemade" and most of us know that homemade signs normally aren't official. (Made by some ex crack head that bought his place on the water for 5K and now thinks he owns the delta, oh sorry I'm ranting) I don't mind it being made 5MPH, but I hope they upd...

R. Duzac

I use them as well and have never had one break, even after several fish and several adjustments. Regardless, it's a good idea to contact the company (I guess Ray). As with any business there's a chance that he may have switch wire companies or manufacturing site and he/they would want to know of an...

Apology Accepted.
Yes it was a brutal place to fish this weekend, I agree with you there.

Thanks,

1) I like videos I can relate to that are on local waters I fish. (True Bass) 2) How too instruction on new baits or techniques. 3) Anglers catching fish in a single day or time period.

Do you have a group created?

I know I received an email awhile back from the group I was with last year. I wasn't going to play this year. Well I signed up again.

Please let me know if you have a group and they are open to others.

Thanks,

I was also there Saturday. :evil: The ramp was an absolute mess. "To Me" what really pissed me off was it didn't appear to bother anyone in the float tube tournament that they were blocking half the ramp. I felt like it was summer and we were waiting for a bunch of yahoo's who take their b...

R. Duzac

I hear it's a puddle right now. Water is used for a lot of farming. I honestly don't know if they will have enough water to go this year. You would have to keep an eye on it. That said, it's an excelent place to take the family. (I haven't been in about 5 years). Nice campgrounds, great store with f...

R. Duzac

haha, I just realized the fish in the avatar I use was caught by that bait. OH, but don't tell anybody.

basswipe, I was also up there this weekend Been going up there for over 20 years, and the lake continues to spoil me. Like to know how you did. I normally get away with a simple Senko but this time I was doing well on the Spinnerbait. I only brought 3 rods with me and an a small assortment of baits....

R. Duzac

Sorry to hear about your loss.
I'm sure he had lots of friends who are going to miss him.

I can only hope I enjoy fishing until the age of 93.

Take Care,

You can't even see the water from the web cam anymore.

Although not a fan of Ike's antics, I enjoyed the shows I have watched. (DC I believe & Sacramento) It really puts a good perspective that most of us know about, that there are good fishing holes in our back yard. Local Ponds, Creeks, etc. I actually think I would enjoy fishing with Mike even wi...

About 11 years ago when I first joined Bassbusters.

"Keep your line wet"

I still see and hear about the guy on the back of the boat constantly tying something else on or just screwing around.

Depends on the child. My daughter had a lot more patience, son NOT. You can fish the bank with them from very early, that way when they get bored they do something else. Daughter is now 13 and can fish for a good 4 hours. Son is 10 and is now asking to go, but can still only hold out for a couple ho...

Even when I fish the club tournaments I will tell my back seater I'm out there to enjoy the day. Catching fish is a plus.
Enjoy the weather (bad or good)
Enjoy Scenery
Enjoy Friends

RELAX!!!

Thanks,

Thought I would let you guys know that you have a chance to win free tickets.

I know I'm pretty broke these days and any chance for free tickets sure helps.

Hope you all have a good Holiday
