I remember those I used them for tourneys in the 80s alot of them prob blew out of boats while running redman tournaments went to a flat board and the metal one wouldnt sorry cant help you with that but this is a great place to start good luck Thanks Swordfish mine probably blew out of the boat too...

Years ago I had what I think was called a Wil-e-go fish measuring board. It was plastic and concaved to accommodate the curve of the fish. I’m pretty sure these are no longer made. Does anyone remember these and know where I might be able to purchase one? I lost the only one I had years ago. Thanks ...

Great start for Christian he’s currently in second place! He finished 40th last week in his first event. Also a great start for Ish Monroe. Ish finished 28th last week and 14th this week. A couple Delta sticks doing us proud.

Traditionally February is an outstanding fishing month on Lake Don Pedro always seems to be one of the first lakes to turn on in early spring

Haha- I meant a mechanic for an OLD Mercury … I’ll take a teenager if he knows how to work on it!

I knew what you meant good luck in your search

Maybe consider a young Mercury mechanic?

David did a nice job on my four blade stainless prop a few years ago

Thanks fellas warranty work doesn’t concern me with a 24 year old motor. I guess this means Paradise Point in Stockton won’t work on them? This is where I took my 04 225. They did fine by me. I’m not disappointed in the service, I had them replace water pump too and it was all reasonable price poin...

Since I’ve relied on Boatmasters for over 30 years for engine repairs, I’m out of touch with other options in the area. Should I be unlucky enough to need internal engine repairs on my 2000 175hp direct injected Evinrude Ficht outboard, are there any qualified repair shops in the Stockton/Tracy/Oakl...

I’m trying to not get too excited about this

monte300

Rumor is that the land is more valuable than the business, so I assume they own the land

monte300

I called and talked to the owner and he confirmed they are closing down at the end of the month. I asked for recommendations and at this time he only mentioned a gent named Tanner who works for them who lives in the Antioch/Oakley area. He also said for awhile we will be able to call them for advice...

monte300

Good idea I’ll give them a call. I was there about three months ago to buy some bulk two cycle oil and the owner informed me that they no longer sell it in bulk because Mercury is no longer giving them discounts on 55 gallon drums. I’ve been a customer for over thirty years and he said nothing of th...

Hard to beat Boatmasters for this service. They did mine motor runs great. I heard Boatmasters has closed or is closing soon Where did you hear that? I’m 64 and I know the guys that own it and they are younger than me. That’s a thriving business and if they are retiring, I’d be shocked if the busin...

Why do you say that?

You have to be joking

Probably not enough characters allowed to explain in detail

Governor Greasy Newsome is the worst thing that ever happened to this state

I took 5 hours but was dinking around with it. When it comes to the final test google is your friend

monte300

Technically by law the throwable flotation is supposed to be on the deck at all times. I don’t know anyone that has throwable flotation on their deck while fishing. I looked it up and here’s the law: vessels 16 feet in length or longer must have one USCG–approved throwable Type IV device on board an...

monte300

Who is ever going to ask you for that card. I was once boarded about 20 years ago for a half hour they checked everything. They even checked to make sure the life jackets were appropriate for the large couple fellows in the boat. Back in those days I kept a few fish to eat, so they measured the fis...

monte300

We voted for the death penalty and he changed that

monte300

It’s not perfect but it is a good thing Once you put 100 HP on a boat the operator should have some kind of knowledge Is it really any different than a car or truck? Less traffic but not always Way different then taking a test that you will forget in a weeks time versus going out with an instructor...

monte300

I think they could have came up with better test questions.

monte300

To heck with roughing them up I wish they could arrest them without checking to see if they’ve stolen more than $900!

monte300

Awesome tribute

monte300

At $20 an hour I’m not sure it’s worth risking one’s life attempting to stop lowlife’s from stealing. Just a couple years ago a man working at Home Depot in Pleasanton lost his life trying to stop a theft.

I’ve heard that neither the game warden or sheriff’s will pull you over to see it, but if they ask and you don’t have it you’re subject to a fine.

monte300

That’s the world we live in now. More than $900?

monte300

Did it, passed it, that’s five hours of my life I can never get back. As bad as that was $61.82 for a 2024 California fishing license more than makes up for it WTF?

monte300

Wow a three year old thread resurrected

monte300

Thanks for all the feedback. I am amazed at the price of new boats. Are there any real deals during the International Sportsmans' Expo show at Cal Expo in January? Seems like getting a quality used boat with warranty might be the best way to go. If I were to buy a used boat I’d pay Boatmasters in L...

monte300

Popper, mostly recreation but hopefully get into a club then who knows. Monte what do you like about the Bass Cats and Skeeter? Anybody have experience with Phoenix, seems like the 721 Pro is reasonably priced. I like the Bass Cat because the hull is second to none, simply put a tank that rides wel...

monte300

I have a 19’ 2000 Triton and I love it. If I were to buy now it would be between Bass Cat with a Mercury or Skeeter with a Yamaha. All the boats you mention are quality.

monte300

Governor Greasy Gruesome. Keeping my fingers crossed

he’s not our next president

monte300

Welcome to the group!

monte300

Personally I’m boycotting all things MLF. I don’t like the direction their going, it’s a shame talented touring pros don’t have a little more livelihood stability.

monte300

skip to 20 min mark. He starts getting REALLY candid @ 30

monte300

Are the Bass Classics of Santa Clara Valley still around? I belonged to that club around 40 years ago. We had guys like Don Raleigh, George Hawley and Alvin Haymond.

I got the opportunity to fish I with a national level pro one day last year and he predicts there won’t be anyone tournament fishing for a living within the next ten years.

I fish 6 to 12 days a month sometimes more
I burn about 100 hours a year
I think I run more than I need too

Gas prices keep me from running more than I need to

monte300

I only fish the Delta. I run about 20 minutes, fish for about 4 hours and run back. That probably explains the low hours on my motor.

monte300

I don't see how anybody could put 400+ hours on a motor each year unless they're guiding every day or some type of commercial operation. The average guy Probably doesn't put 50 hours a year on their rig. A few years back I was fishing way more then I should have and I could barely put 100 hours a y...

monte300

I fish once every two weeks for 8 months a year over the past 23 years and only have about 450 hours on my outboard. I know plenty of guys use their boats more than I do.

monte300

Two weeks after ordering online I got both stickers in the mail.

monte300

I did both online a week and a half ago how long before I should expect to get my stickers?

monte300

Not sure how rough the water gets in the forebay, but I suggest if the wind is up much respect needs to be shown in the main San Luis lake, especially in a small craft.

monte300

Personally I think the most important factor is HOW you’re going to get back 8th your boat if you fall off. It ain’t easy! I don’t have room for a swim ladder on my rig. I jump in the lake every s9noften during the summer to cool off and test my ability to get back onboard. I step on the lower unit...

Boatmasters is a first rate operation. I suspect they are working a couple months out at least
