You can launch downstream of the rallying point at Garcia Bend, immediately upstream at Discovery Park and upstream of it at Elkhorn. Any of these will put you a short piece away from the rally on Sunday. Be aware when running the river, there are wingdams, so try to stay in the middle and watch the...

If it is a group 31, it will work. I believe the Optimax calls for 1000 ranking amps, and the group 31 Blue Top Optima is the best for that. That being said, I know Anglers that are running all sorts of DFI Engines on a Group 24/34 Blue Top, including an Elite Series pro who runs four of them, for w...

I'm researching launch facilities near Sacramento on the river guys. It'll be over Sunday night near or after dark, don't want you guys running the river all the way back in the dark. I'll be making some calls and finding suitable space. I'll post what I find here. Good to see you guys involved. DanO

Folks, I have been doing some research on the issue regarding the New Conveyance, aka Peripheral Canal, or Cross Delta Canal, as well as the two proposed projects for gates to hold back the freshwater in the Delta for pumping. The state has tide control gates slated to go in, two permanently, and tw...

Hackney has no shortage of friends on tour, I don't know about everyone, but he is a lot of fun to be around, tells great stories, and makes everyone laugh. Perceptions and assumptions are funny things guys, as are those who come out of the wood work to criticize when someone is successful. Seems ev...

The points are not thin, remove the needle point thoughts from the equation, these are a triple sided point that creates speed and penetration. They used a higher quality, cleaner material in making them, and the plating is a new process as well that was designed to reduce corrosion. From talking to...

They should retail for $9.99 guys, and having touched them now myself here at ICAST, they are everything they purport to be and more.

These things are B.A.D. Badd!

SUPER Sharp, and amazing finish.

1/8" get it at Fry's or a good electronics store.

The original release of BMF Hooks didn't include it either.

It was another product you could purchase and install yourself, but not one included.

Wow Big-Limits

Oroville Outdoors and Delta Outdoors have them if you find yourself in those neighborhoods

Not for what you're talking about.

Leave the line out of the eye on a straight shank hook to get the leverage you're looking for.

I've talked to people on scene about both "Marshall Ejections" that occurred at the River Rumble. Derek Remitz was the third boat in line going through an opening and he struck a log and tore off his lower unit, the boat went into a flat spin and ejected his passenger. At least a dozen ang...

Sounds like an engine problem.

With a spun hub The prop shaft itself would spin inside the hub and not allow the prop to bite at all.

I'd take it to your mechanic and have it looked at.

The only State Park / launch area I know of is Brannan Island.

I wonder if they are referring to that?

It serves a couple of purposes. First, they have the ability to choose the unit they use based on the type of fishing they are doing. In shallow water, they may use a smaller unit, then turn to the bigger units for deep water finesse angling; giving them a bigger screen to look at, and more zoom cap...

Xtreme Lubricants. Reel+ for the bearings and Gear+ for the gears Synthetic, waterproof, heat resistant, won't attract dust, and adds casting distance.

That's about it John.

Norbert does a great job.

Much faster than a waranty deal.

However, I would just take it over to Fisherman's Warehouse or the Gee Spot at Sac Pro Tackle and have a guide put on, probably cost about 20 bucks, tops.

The March / April is mailing and the May / June is at the printer folks.

Thanks for the kind words Frank, a lot of work goes into that magazine and it's nice to hear someone likes it.

I won't use fluoro anymore George for flipping or sight fishing, I have broken it too many times on short line hooksets. The last one was two years ago at Clear Lake, I was working a 6 to 7 pound female with a flipping stick and 20 pound fluoro. After 20 minutes the male left to circle the nest, and...

I know one Elite Series pro whouses that D34M, but he has a Stay 'n Charge system in place to keep his batteries topped off. He does it as a weight reduction issue, as the battery is very light, and the Stay 'n Charge only ways 1.5 pounds and charges off of your outboard, and a second option to char...

The Trojan is a lead acid battery, and is a great one. Yes, more Amp hours means you can fish longer, but what you're dealing with is something that will take two or more days without charging to utilize. The OPTIMA D31M is a little more than 6 pounds lighter per battery than the Trojan SC225, becau...

The picture was Matt Reed from Texas.

I've seen spray bottles with a dishsoap / water mixture at sightfishing tournaments on FLW and Elites.

Mix it about 50/50 so it sprays, and when you squirt it on the water, pollen and debris will spread out allowing you to see without the film.

Important info folks

Check for water in the bait, sure, but "suspending" baits react differently at different water temperatures.

Water temperature affects the density of the water, so each bait will suspend, float or sink as the water temperatures change.

That rod will be $139.99 wherever you shop, unless you can get it on sale.

It was my honor to write the Legend of the Sport piece with Denny for this issue. I tried to do it with respect to his accomplishments, and the success he has had throughout his career. I hope that you Brauer fans will find it pleasing. I look forward to hearing your comments on the issue and the re...

I run four OPTIMA group 31's, they are lighter than the other brands, and maintain their run time longer than the others. The biggest OPTIMA Blue top only weighs 56 pounds, which is anywhere from 7 to 14 pounds lighter than the other batteries mentioned. OPTIMA doesn't fade as the other batteries do...

It all depends upon the bidding by the different municipalities as to who gets the Classic. The cost to a city to bring the Classic to town may be in the high six to low seven figure range, but the economic boon to a community over the weeklong setup and expo and the event itself would have to be in...

They still do the visual inspections. They dog is used in highprofile areas, and they won't do it everywhere, but they still back it up with a visual inspection.

jcruz, I totally understand your point about the geographic location of the officers of PAA, but how can we as a region get anyone on the board if we have so few members from our region?

The PAA, while certainly not perfect, is set up with much of the infrastructure to communicate and serve anglers everywhere. Starting something else is not going to do anything but further divide and not create unity in anything that anglers need to communicate as a whole. I know that you're all goi...

Yeah Terry, Ill be there at Pardee.
