After the exposure of fraudulent data was revealed a few years ago it is amazing that anyone still believes in man made global warming: Biggest Science Scandal Ever . There are countless publications supporting climate change but the vast majority are written by scientists without any expertise in ...

Jeff C.

First, I don't know why this thread hasn't been moved to the Politics forum long ago. Second, those who claim that human caused climate change is unsettled science are either 1. seriously misinformed, or 2. lying. As a scientist myself I have read the journal articles and talked to several climate s...

I don't see any need to get the adjustable plate unless someone else who is a lot taller or shorter than you will drive your boat. Otherwise, you just screw down the pedal in the right spot for you and forget about it.

Jeff C.

Very strange that the article doesn’t even mention if the drowned fisherman was wearing a PFD.

Jeff C.

I've wondered about this for a while. When jump starting from a trolling motor battery do you have to disconnect the trolling motor battery from the other trolling motor battery in the series? Will it only deliver 12 volts as long as you only use the terminals of the same battery?

Jeff C.

I have the Ulterra for on my deck boat. I got it primarily because of the GPS enabled features: spot lock, advanced autopilot and I-pilot Link. The auto stow/deploy is great, as is the ability to raise and lower the depth of the motor with a touch of a button. However, I will say that the electric s...

Nice fish!

This is the real deal folks. Better sign the petition.

Glad to see the bass guys finally realizing the amazing capabilities of the GPS enabled trolling motors. I started with the Terrova and now have an Ulterra and will get the Ultrex when I eventually upgrade. The spot lock feature is like having a power pole that can be used regardless of the depth a...

To me it says "greater than .75", under 1.75oz." is not okay, but "under .75" and under 1.75oz. would be ok. I may be wrong, but the sentence is saying that to be illegal, it would have to be all three, bigger than .75", under 1.75oz., and more than 0.1 percent lead. I...

Imagine that... a Republican president who would rather support business than the environment. Who would have thought?

Jeff C.

Are you fellas aware this is a 7 year old thread?

Jeff C.

Wow that is a very strange law! I wonder why federal law doesn't override state law based on the regulation of interstate commerce. So lets say a barge from a neighboring state wants to pass through Louisiana, but can't because a landowner won't allow it. Very strange!

Jeff C.

Heck, if you're willing to pay that kind of money to ship your boat there's gotta be someone out there who would rent you their boat for less than that. I would find local fishing web pages for the area and post an inquiry.

Jeff C.

Go with an ultrex. Doesnt have auto deploy but does have gas shock assist. Best of all worlds....cable steer and ipilot all in one I didn't realize that the Ultrex has cable steer. This does look like the deal. I'd like to try one. I have a Helix 10 on the bow, but I don't know if the I-link would ...

Jeff C.

I have the Ulterra and love the I-pilot features. Automatic stow and deploy and the ability to adjust the height of the motor remotely is really cool as well. The electric steering isn't great for close in fishing, i.e. flipping a bank. I've not tried the Ultrex yet, but if it combines cable steerin...

Thanks

That's all a matter of opinion...ask 10 people you'll get 10 different answers. I generally stick to the manufacturer's oil if they make one.

Jeff C.

I've had this motor since it first came out. I can't comment a lot on the pedal because I almost always control the motor with the remote and bypass the pedal. When I have used the pedal it seems to be the same as the other electric steer motors I've tried, i.e. the Terrova. I think if you dislike t...

Jeff C.

I'd be real surprised if you can get a loan on a used boat at 3%. New boat, yeah, but for used you're probably looking at 6 to 9% You might check Golden 1 if you haven't already. They were the best for me a couple of years ago, but nowhere near 3%.

Jeff C.

I definitely don't think you need a tandem axle for that size boat. Might tow a little better but harder to move around and also more costly in upkeep (i.e. tires and bearings). Kind of a wash in the end.

Bad thing for consumers.

Say what?

Jeff C.

Andy, I do not know about Clear Lake, specifically. But I do know that our world is warming, and fast. The last ten years have been the warmest on record, and each has been warmer than the last. There is no use sticking our heads in the sand and wishing it weren't so. It is, and the only question t...

There's what politicians, activists and journalists say about the climate. And then there's what MIT climatologists say. https://www.facebook.com/prageru/videos/1123356471040541/ Correction, that's what one person (reportedly funded by the fossil fuel industry) says. Over 95% of real climate scient...

Battery Systems in West Sacramento has always had the best prices in the Sacramento area whenever I've needed starting or deep cycle batteries. Check out the price and specs on the totally sealed Centennial batteries that they carry.

Jeff C.

Over the last 24 hours they've been letting the lake rise a foot every 2-3 hours. If this continues the lake should be at the low water Granite Bay ramp by the end of the day.

Jeff C.

+1 on Centennial batteries at Battery Systems in West Sac. I've outfitted several boats over the last few years and their deep cycle fully sealed batteries were always the best on both price and features.

Here's a link: http://www.batterysystems.net/

LED lighting will do what you want. It's pretty expensive though.

Like McLovin said, the electric steer motors are awesome for wide open lakes but not as good for tight quarters. Probably depends on the type of fishing you do. Flipping and pitching cover will be frustrating with an electric steer. On the other hand, the spot lock feature is totally awesome and now...

While I didn't know him personally I interacted with him some on the forums.

Makes sense to me Rod. This forum mostly served as a Republican b1tchfest against our great president but since their side keeps losing again and again it must have got too frustrating. :lol: Take Obamacare for instance, first the Repubs said that it would wreck our economy, they were wrong - our ec...

LOL Michael, why don't you post something original? Conservatives love using other people's words, kind of like Rand Paul, right?

Jeff C.

Well, the MSM has picked up in this lately, and even started 'criticizing' Obummer on another front too. You know which one. Can you believe it, actually calling him out on something. This pathetic loser is coming apart at the seams, but it took awhile for the populace to see he has no clothes. Sma...

What's going on Rod, I'm still waiting for the Behghazi scandal to cost Obama his presidency? Of course it has to be true because Rush, Hannity, and Beck said so. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Can I go dig up my guns now? I buried them when you and your kind said that Obama was gonna take them away. :lol:...

Jeff C.

LOL Rod! Is that all you got? Why don't you look up and report back to us the "European Approval Numbers" of your boy Dubya or any current Republican for that matter. I think Hillary's numbers may be a bit better than Obama's so I guess you'll be happier in three years since you seem to ca...

I just hate getting up so darned early.

Why are Conservatives so gullible? :lol: Let me guess, you also believe in death panels, that our Great President is an illegal alien, and that climate change is a hoax led by the evil Al Gore. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh well, if you weren't so gullible I guess no one would listen to Beck...

Jeff C.

Wanna bet? Rod I'll bet you $1000 that Obama finishes his complete term as president.

Seriously, why are Conservatives so gullible?

Jeff C.

SOLD!

Jeff C.

Calcutta has been sold. Dobyns rod is still for sale for $150, and I'll throw in a few smaller swimbaits. I live in Placerville but can deliver to the Sacramento area.

This is a Dobyns Championship Series 795 ML SB Mike Long Signature Swimbait rod (7'9", 15-30 lb line, 1-5 oz baits). The reel is a Shimano Calcutta TE 400. This is one sweet combo! The combo is about 2 years old but I've literally only used it about 5 times. Brand new this rig would cost $550 p...

Jeff C.

Dang, I didn't know the A-Rig was so good. Normally I can't catch squat but I'm gonna get me one of those A-rigs and win the Classic. KVD you better watch out!

Jeff C.

I have the topwater and spinnerbait rods and I like them a lot. I heard that when they first came out there was a problem with the guide on the tip but they've been fixed. A buddy of mine has several of the reels and had the problem of noise described above.

Jeff C.

Odummas is a happy man today with his sequestration going foreward making alot of people lose money and maybe lose their jobs.The thing thats really pissis me off that this peice of crap of a president we have is blaming the repubs for this when its odummas idea he is the one that thought of it.I r...

Jeff C.

LOL Marty you fell for it again! Why are you so gullible? Oh well, without people like you no one would pay attention to Fox News, Glenn Beck, or the Republican party. Anyone executed by those death panels you were warning us about yet?

Jeff C.

Excellent! I hope this means they are going to add our lakes to their maps.
