As I mentioned, count me in! The wife and I are already planning to take the motorhome and the boat to Perris Wednesday - Sunday, so it works out great. I'll probably have a buddy with me, so there's $40 for the pool. I'll also socialize it with the club members, and Randy was going to do the same w...

I've fished Folsom a couple of time, and I can't imagine Silverwood fishing similar to Folsom although I haven't fished it in the off-season. To me, Silverwood seems to fish pretty unique in comparison to some of the other local lakes (DVL, Perris, Skinner). Granted, I'm extremely wet behind the ear...

*Edited out* Very timely post - thanks!

tunaman

Congratulations... Wouldn't that, however, be the SILVER State?

Also, look for a hole in the side of the trailer tongue in which a metal pin can be inserted to override the surge brake. The Ranger trailers have them, and I suspect yours would as well. This lets you back the trailer when you don't have a compliant harness/plug configuration.

tunaman

Thanks... just got back from our club tournament at Pyramid, but I can call tomorrow.

tunaman

WOW Kelly... that's incredible! I guess some people will go to any extreme to get an advantage???

Sorry to hear about your experiences... I guess I'm fortunate to have landed where I did, else I wouldn't have joined.

The Sun Country Bassmasters is looking for new members who are interested in joining a bass club. It is based out of the Inland Empire, and meets once a month (usually the first Tuesday, 7:00 PM) at the Sizzler in Norco. We're especially looking for back-seaters - no boat needed! Whether a novice or...

tunaman

Sounds a lot like what we experienced in the WON DVL tournament (except the stripers)... talk about junk fishing!!! Tried everything but the right thing for nada... I HATE blanking!

tunaman

Has anyone been to Pyramid lately? Looking for information on water level, temperature and quality?

Also, I see the PE has operating hours as 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM - are those hours accurate?

Thanks in advance.

Regarding Map Create - I spoke with Don Iovino and the Lowrance service rep at length at the Bass-A-Thon, and one of the subjects was Map Create 6.x I was using 6.2, and it was somewhat useful. I decided to upgrade to 6.3 and have been very disappointed. First, it is a HUNTING version, even though t...

At the show, Bill S. said you just have to call Spro when they come up missing and the'll send out the replacements, or even repair them for free if necessary. I'm not sure they'd be inclined to send out spares, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. Yuo should be able to get the number from their web site.

You know, the coolest thing about the giveaway is the fact that the guy who won really seemed to be the perfect winner... I think that he could use it more than most of the rest of us. Don't get me wrong - I'd have loved to win it and auction it off, but I got the impression that he was really getti...

tunaman

They're still working on a hitch for the '06... I"m hoping the CC statement doesn't come until I can win a check, so the wife might be lenient and only castrate me, rather than outright kill me! It was a great event, though, and I really enjoyed the seminars. I was hoping to figure out who a lo...

tunaman

I'd suggest Navionics... it's got great detail from my experiences.

tunaman

350 ponies, 18" rear rubber and full-time positraction works wonders!

tunaman

Shoot... I'm already over 4 digits, and I've got one more day down there! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

tunaman

Guess I need to find a trailer hitch for my car:

And maybe I can hit the guy up to find out where he got his, so I can get one for my wife's also:

I'm tired of towing with the Tahoe...

Hey Brian, while you're over on Kona you MUST take a charter trip if you can... the deep water comes within yards of the beach, and they catch ahi (yellowfin tuna), ono (wahoo), mahi mahi (dorado/dolphinfish) and a plethora of other species within minutes of the harbor. Oh yeah, and the billfish are...

tunaman

Depends... :lol: I think alot of it has to do with how active they are, what with several competing organizations out there. Also, I expect economic factors come into play, especially negative ones. It appears most of the team stuff costs between $250 - $300 with full options, from what I've seen. F...

tunaman

Thanks for the tips... I'll check it out then.

tunaman

I'm pretty sure KOA was being sarcastic... sounds like you're both on the same page.

tunaman

Well, the syntax is like this: [img]http://image_url[/img] (alt+p) Do you have them posted to a web site, or are they on your local computer? If they're local, you could post them to the new Fishing Photos page, then reference them as noted above and they'd show in the post. If they're already on a ...

tunaman

Ron T - Is that a general offer? I've got two still in the box, that I've been afraid to break out. If someone shows me what and how to fix them it would be appreciated. Where can one find you at the show?

tunaman

Last Saturday, while pre-fishing DVL, I found a 4# floater by the saddle dam... looked like someone caught it deep and kept it in the well for a while, then finally decided to cut it loose after the point of no return. It was severely bloated, and didn't show any real signs of life, but it's eyes we...

tunaman

Hehehe... just what Rick wants - ANOTHER chance to go fish a desert lake!!!

tunaman

OUCH... those are my two favorite local lakes!

I'd have to say Elsinore ranks right up there... talk about a neglected fishery... and recreational lake in general!

tunaman

Would you consider dropping the 12lb Option to maybe 5$, and using the rest for a Top 3? That might be a satisfactory compromise? I know, as a beginning tournament angler, that I'll be struggling for some time to get to the upper echelon, so having at least a little payback falling to the middle of ...

tunaman

That's nice - thanks. It appears to be missing the 100% Bass southern events, though, for January. Nice consolidated calendar.

tunaman

Thanks to you and your family Bill... you folks did great. It was a great start to the new season (well, expect for our team's performance, or lack thereof!) It was tough out there for some, but some of the teams just WHACKED them! Congratulations to those who did.

tunaman

Now that I have one on my Z, I wouldn't go without one. Anglers did a real good job of installation, and include a spacer that raises it just a bit. It is more comfortable than having it lower than the deck, even when standing on it all day.

tunaman

I fell back already... kinda sucks, getting up at 2 AM for a tournament and losing an extra hour of sleep due to the time change! Sheesh... used to be the hour things would just get hopping! It's a bitch getting older!

tunaman

I don't think that they run the special until December through January... I bit the bullet and had my 20 hour service a week ago or so because it couldn't wait that long.

tunaman

Sorry Ron, just saw this post. The confusing thing for me was the wording... it was unclear if the exclusion was only to allow someone to fish in another tournament . I understand that isn't the case - that any prefishing is allowed on Saturday for a Sunday tournament. Thanks for your clarification ...

tunaman

It was clearly spelled out in the other thread... for Sunday tournaments you are allowed to fish the day before.

tunaman

Thanks Hutch - I see that now. I reread the Equipment Restrictions section when the topic came up and didn't find anything, but didn't think to review the Practice/Pre-Fishing section. I guess I'd better thoroughly reread once more to make sure I haven't missed anything else! You're back off the roa...

tunaman

Good suggestion hippie... I'll see what I can round up at the next meeting.

tunaman

Well, hopefully you check it regularly and keep it full... it is the two-stroke oil that is mixed with the gasonline as your engine runs, if I'm not mistaken. It will consume that oil as it needs, so you need to be sure you keep your tank full with the right type of oil for your motor. There should ...

tunaman

If you're heading to Bass-A-Thon, you may want to head to ANAHEIM instead of TUSTIN!

tunaman

I'll accept that challenge and donate $50... "the check is in the mail", so to speak - I'm writing and sending it today.

What a tragedy, and what a senseless loss due to some fool's idiocy!

tunaman

I presume that the DQ's were for off-limit violations?

tunaman

According to the site, starting at 3:30 AM until 5:00 AM. After 5:00 it is considered "late" and penalized a $10 assessment.

tunaman

It would be easy enough, but for the way I use them it is not necessary. If I'm culling the fish with the Life Tags, I'm going to take my time to make sure I throw out the right one!

tunaman

I have both the Quick-Cull ropes, which I use for smaller fish, and the Cul-m-rite Life Tags which I use for anything over 2 lbs. The regular ropes with the plastic clamp work fine for fish up to about 2 lbs., from my experience, but as noted the bigger fish are able to get them off with ease. For m...

Funny, I just did a search for "biosonix" in the forums and found some very interesting reading from last year on the subject... there was quite a bit of (apparent) heartburn on the matter, and WON took the stance (at least at that time) that they wouldn't be allowed during tournaments (bu...

tunaman

Maybe it's just me, but I don't remember one person this year winning a BASS or FLW event while using one. Maybe they aren't allowed in competition there? Either way, while they may help, I think there are many other important factors that can make a bigger difference. I know I can think of a bette...

D. Off Limits - The Inland Empire, Southern California, and San Diego region team events will have a Monday-Friday off limits period prior to a Saturday tournament in that region. Should the tournament fall on a Sunday, anglers will be allowed to pre-fish on the Saturday before to allow them to com...
