Im interested in the deffinition of "Nostalgia Fishing" ??? I guess guys like Rick Clunn, Kevin Van Dam, Mike Ike and most of there peers are "Nostalgia Fisherman" since they recommend keeping a journal or log of your fishing trips.

texas john

The trick to keeping a log is not to rely on it for what worked this time last year or didnt work. IMO it is more to keep track of what worked under certain weather conditions/tides/water temps. Sometimes however it does not matter what you do or how much you prepair the fish just might not want to ...

WRL Tournament regular and did not receive one lure.....

texas john

Try harder, it will improve your fishing and make you more aware of what worked when and where and why, which in the long run helps you to establish your best lure choices under the right circumstances.

It is most like for the construction of the new folsom spillway. This project is going on now for a year or two and gonna help to maintain the water level in the lake. No more decisions to be made by the weather man and how much rain is comming, now they will be able to let the spillway do the job w...

There is a few spots in the Sac area that are about an hour away and area great for small boats. Collins lake in the Browns Valley area, Lake Englebright in the Penn Valley area are the two I would hit. Lots of fish and easy acces from the ramp for instant fishing!!

I have a ton of the BPS Stick-O's mostly cause of the price and they work. Not as limber as a Senko but they also last twice as long. The 6 and 7 1/4" versions are great and they have a ton of colors in the bigger sizes. The 6 and 7 1/4 are killers on CL.

I was at the West Marine in Rocklin yesterday when someone approched me and asked my opinion of this bait. I immediatly told the guy this looks just like my BBZ. The only difference is the 4 body section vs the three. I was suprised at just how big the simularities were. Isn't there some kinda patei...

texas john

Darn was hoping something good would come out of this "economic downturn"

texas john

You dont need the tool in all cases but the two O-Ring method (crossing them and then run your hook thru the cross) works great and keeps the hook perpindicular to the worm. in some cases you will loose your senko but still get your rings back.

texas john

I have an uncle who bought one and uses it for flipping and pitching jigs, he seems pretty happy with it, no compaints anyway.

texas john

Thanks for all the replies, off to the store to buy.......AC Delco's or Interstates, depending on which one they have in stock.

Thanks again

texas john

Most all curbing (especially in residential areas is 6" tall, so but a 6*6 and cut it in half along the diaganol and there you go instant ramp!! The good part of this idea is that you only need to buy like a 4' section of wood to do this. Some lumber yards have short peices like that lying arou...

I talk with the guys in the fishing section at the Sportsmans in Rocklin and they told me the company was bought by a new firm out of Canada and that things were slowly gettting back to normal. I was in a month or so ago and they had some pretty bare shelves, two weeks ago back in, and they had more...

I too was looking for good insurance and had seen a post on here earlier. There seemed to be two big winners from most of those post. One was 1800bassboat and the other was fish on insurace. I called both and got comparables and 1800 wanted about $60 less per year but was only providing $2500 in rep...

texas john

I use the BCR855 for the same applications. It is a heavier rod but it has great action. If you use the right jig (Pepper Jigs are my Choice) you can flip em pitch em and shake the heck out of em all with just one jig. The 855 has never let me down.

texas john

My uncle had a simular problem with a Spro. So he took a big birthday balloon, shoved it in, blew a little air not to much, tied it off and its better than new. Still has the same action and compression for the hookup.

texas john

I often use a 5/0 hook with flukes and fish it like a senko...It works.

texas john

I had the tail break off of my Shell Cracker last year on the first day I was using it.....Emailed the boys at Black Dog...They sent me a new tail with detailed instructions on how to change it out. They are a great company with great service!!!!

texas john

Does the cover hold water? I assume it somehow allows the water in and out without holding it but allows for flow of the water to keep the water temps acurate?

texas john

I understand rules are rules...........that PFD did not help or hinder putting fish in the well a DQ is to steep for the $$$$$$$$ that is being shelled out. Lets be realistic people I'll bet 95% of the contestants commited an infraction during the day, its tough not to. Most of you in the 5mph zone...

texas john

Doug, I too found myself in this delima on Saturday at the WRl Delta event. My first two spots of the day, both of which have been holding nice fish, were dead, 1 fish in the livewell at 1030-1100. We had fished this one spot for over an hour with just the one fish when I decided we needed to go, fo...

I hauled my boat back from Az about a month ago and they did no inspection on me when I crossed. I came in up over 80 from Reno and it was 1am..

texas john

I have some of the 8 lb crystal on a spinning reel, works great for the light weight stuff and is super sensative. I can throw an 1/8 oz darter a country mile with that stuff.

From what I understand it started on MississIppi river Try Lake Erie... from the balast tanks of a Ukranian tanker as I recall... I suspect this is all real new to you, and you may want to do some more homework (or not) as many of us have done since it first reared its ugly head down South. Bottom ...

Hey I live in Grass Valley and would be interested in getting some info on the club, if someone would contact me It would be greatly appreciated.

jtrtexca@hotmail.com

Thanks

texas john

I live in Grass Valley and fish Englebright all the time. And as far as small fish go, there has been a LM over 10 caught in that lake, and I personally caught a 7.26 lb Smallie.... I fish it year round and really enjoy it, a great lake for kids to learn on also.

texas john

Can we please add a lake to the reports...Lake Englebright in the Browns Valley area...You could delete Bullards Bar, no one has posted on that one in almost 2 years.

Would be greatly appreciated!!!

texas john

I just got my first bass boat about 2 months ago, traveled to Arizona to buy it from a guy in Texas (We meet 1/2 way). Was worth it though, 1991 Skeeter, Motor is older but has good compression and a lower unit that is only months old. So far so good, the only problem I have had was a simple on in t...

texas john

what do power poles do for 1500 clams They are a hydrolic pole that when not in use sticks up about 1 1/2 feet above the motor on one or both sides. When in use the pole scissors open and down into the water holding you boat in position, kinda like an anchor. http://www.foreandaftmarine.com/PP-main...

texas john

I agree that some lakes are in need of some "selective harvesting" but those fish right around 2lbs are prime breeders, and if your going to remove some, take the little guys, it might take more to make a meal but better for the fishery in the long run.

texas john

Why would you post that here, where 90% of the people are strickly catch and release?????

texas john

Better launch at the spillway then, Bidwell is still a pretty good hike from what I can tell, The spill way is not to bad.

texas john

As a father I find it harder and harder to watch the news these days. I guess it is just a fact that there are some real monsters in this world...

Now they just need to let the dogs loose and hunt that MFer down so he/she/it will not have the chance to do it again.

texas john

Ok got em fixed, the main wireing harness came loose to the pumps, so it explains the no electricity and good fuses.

texas john

I have tried to use some bigger 6/ and 7/0 hooks on the big 7 inchers, but still find the 5/0 to be most affective...So add another +++1 For Tin Can

texas john

With some good measurements you can get a pretty accurate weight of the fish. Length Girth ect. There is even one website where all you do is enter the measurements and it will give you back a weight.

texas john

Does anyone notice they seem to miss more fish when they go from their 7' rod back to the 6'6"??? Just curiouse.

May you rest in peace....

We all know what we should be doing, so instead of us every year giving out our MANY RIP's to our fallen comrads, just do what you know to be right!! They would not put em on the boat unless they were needed.

texas john

I have no idea what type of pumps, I store the boat at my Uncles house.

texas john

HELP... Went out yesterday and flipped on the pump to fill the live well and nothing......This boat is a 91 skeeter and has been wired funny to day the least. The main switch for the pump and airaiter is all that works, I checked all the inline fuses and they all seem to be working fine. So if anybo...

texas john

Thanks Bob for the Update, I read about this and talked with Randy last night, but still decided to go give Oroville a fishing day anyway. Saw a few people out there and told them the news, of course I dont think they belived me but oh well. Any idea for the rescheduled date?

texas john

People like Ed and many others before him are the reason this country is great. Ed Americans like you are few and far between, may you rest in peace as a True American Hero.

texas john

Dom,

Thanks would love to see a pic of how you did that, the lockers seem easy

again thanks for the help.

texas john

Dom nice job wanna do my skeeter next? Im in the same situation as Dan. So thanks for beating me to this post Dan you have helped me out as well. Is it better to just do the whole boat or should you just do the areas that really need it? And Dom how did you manage to tuck or whatever around the edge...
