OK gang - sorry for the delay. Cooch had brought something up on Tuesday that might have redirected our efforts, but I just talked with him and there were no further developments so we are proceeding as originally intended. Here are the details: Meet and greet, pairings, checkpoint - 5:30 - 6:30 AM ...

24 pounds with a 6 pound kicker - nice bag!

Good job also Phyliss - 20 pound bags are pretty impressive right now, from the couple of times I've been out recently!

Another vote for Berryessa... good facilities, and a great lake to enjoy! I really love camping out there, and this is the perfect time of year to go (before the lake lice get thick!). Largemouth, spots and smallmouth all on tap, and I'm thinking the fishing should be getting pretty good right about...

tunaman

Looks more like a largemouth... no spots on the belly. One of the notable traits of the spotted bass vs the largemouth is the tongue patch... here are the general guidelines: Largemouth bass •Cheek scales same size as rest of body scales •Green with dark horizontal stripe •Without rows of dark spots...

tunaman

Did it have the tongue patch? Usually an easy way to tell the difference.

I hadn't planned on it Michael, but I can tell you as of now I've received 8 entries to this point. C'MON GANG - GET YOUR ENTRIES IN ASAP PLEASE so that we can account for you! Also, if you're not planning on fishing, but want to come for the festivities, let me know via PM, email, phone call, or on...

tunaman

WOW - going to miss you my friend! See if you can make this last Nutcase? Next weekend, it's on! Fishing should be really good also, and the after party is here (and I know you know where I live!). Best of luck to you both in your new endeavors, and don't be a complete stranger - we have plenty of A...

Party at Tuna's... carne, cervezas, margaritas, Patron shots, UFC for those interested - Cinco de Mayo on full throttle celebrating life! Mrs. Tuna has already started getting supplies, and this one will have special meaning.

Speaking of the old man of the River...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BROTHER - hope you have a great one, and wish for many more to come!!!

Roger

tunaman

Nah - I think the old man is still wandering aimlessly somewhere around Nebraska trying to get to the PBA event - if someone has contact, tell him the event was over a couple of weeks ago and he needs to come HOME! :lol: :lol: :lol: Funny though - I did think about him when I heard the chants. Matt ...

I'm thinking there's a great chance for that to happen.

Roger

tunaman

Sorry, but it's gotta happen on Saturday, as we will be partying late Cinco de Mayo and won't be in any shape to be up early on Sunday. Hopefully you can at least come join the evening's festivities Tom?

I'll get a sign-up page together and posted soon.

All, In the last couple of weeks we found that I have a tumor in my bladder which will require surgery. The procedure is scheduled for next Monday, and while the prognosis is positive it is still a very frightening proposition. I'd like to ask all my friends on Western Bass to please send positive t...

tunaman

In all seriousness sounds like Cinco de Mayo might be the ticket... anyone have any conflicts with that date? Like to nail it down for at least Michael so he can make plans accordingly, since he would like to plan his schedule to accommodate. Not too many really responding to the date request, so if...

Oh - and I'm not sponsored by anyone, 'cept my wallet and my own personal experience!

Great job Matt - nice bag!!!

I'll show you my Humminbird 1198... sitting on the bench after being removed for good. Replaced by the best - Lowrance HDS 10. Lowrance is the best made, best functional and best supported, period. I couldn't get anyone to assist when my SI went out (after a firmware upgrade no less) on my 1198 - no...

BAN IT!!!

Damn... I think I've heard of the Capparelli guy before! Wow, he's GOOD!!!

Tony's definitely on a roll lately - way to go my brother!!!

Well, guess I'll have to up my odds again and schedule on top of the FLW. End of the month should be off the hook!

Roger

tunaman

Sorry kb - I think he took off to go try his hand at the PBA Tour. Not sure if he knows how to get to Michigan or not, so he could be driving around aimlessly in Nebraska right about now. :lol: And yeah, that "12+" started out as a 14.4... still got the email to prove it! :shock: :? :wink:...

tunaman

Why, it's gotta be on the DELTA of course!!! A lot of big fish coming out to play lately, so looks like the season is getting off to a great start. I'm dealing with some issues right now, but figure that we can get one together maybe towards the end of next month? Start looking at dates towards the ...

tunaman

OK gang - I put together a sign-up form and we need to start getting an idea of who is going to be able to help out. If you can attend as a boater, please take a moment and use the link in the first post to sign up so that we can gauge how many boats we will be able to count on. If you are tentative...

tunaman

Good job Poolboy for the top 10!

And who is this Holoubek guy?!? I think I've heard of him before!

Posse rulez!!!

Roger

tunaman

Talons allow for a partial deploy? I know that was one of the real attractive uses for the Power Poles when they first came out, and I'm not up on the capabilities of the Talon. Also, what is the height of the Talon from the waterline? I know the Power Poles are at 0' for all intents and purposes. N...

tunaman

I'll keep my HDS and other Lowrance units, and throw in the 1198 no charge!

Come on up and make me take you out amigo!

Roger

Congratulations on finding a sucker^D^D^D^D^D buyer! j/k

The bait and weight will be what shows... have to play with sensitivity settings to find what works best under the conditions you're fishing.

Watch the realtime display on the right side and you should be able to watch them fall.

Clarification - there were actually 10 of us... Jim and Roy came out for the first time, but as they were new they didn't stick around for the morning briefing and missed the change in weigh-in time, and then must not have known about the social hour afterward and didn't get a chance to stay and enj...

I just remembered hearing some time back that Lake Berryessa had a requirement for certification for any vessels that launch on the lake, and a search turned up the following link: http://www.usbr.gov/mp/ccao/berryessa/docs/Form_Mussel_Free_Certification.pdf Anyone launching probably wants to print ...

tunaman

OK gang - the gate closes at 8:00 PM on Friday, and is open from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM on Saturday. They do not block access to leave the premises, of course, so folks can leave any time they like after hours. WOW - Bob is coming out? :shock: Pink bird in hand too - COOL!!! And my partner no less......

tunaman

I've got to call and get the gate times for everyone... I'll post them up tomorrow. I'f you're coming and can bring something, bring it. If not, we'll have enough. I'll be heading out on Thursday with the motorhome and boat in tow, and the wife will be coming out on Friday. We'll be in our usual cam...

Yeah - Hubspinner traded up from the Avalanche and is showing off! How's that thang tow yer bote Gar??? We'll have the motorhome there, so we'll have lots of edibles and drinkables for everyone. Not sure if we're going to stick with the original menu or not, but as those who know Mona know that they...

The LSS-1 allows for networking of up to three HDS displays, including waypoint sharing. The transducer which is included performs the structure scan and sonar functions, and can be shared with the networked displays. The LSS-1 is actually considered to include the module (broadband sounder) *and* t...

Happy New Year Steve,

Get a hold of Josh Upton (Upton's Customs) - I'm sure he can take care of you and he's REAL GOOD!

Roger

tunaman

Sorry, but Lowrance all the way. Had them both, and the HDS units beat the Bird all the way around. If you really need convincing, it would take a phone call to explain all the reasons I have for my opinion. However, features, capabilities and support are primary considerations which are major facto...

tunaman

Hate that! Took off for an ABA with Coochie a couple of years ago with mine perched on top of my head, and didn't realize until it was far too late that I had donated it to Franks Tract!

Had to get another, of course, and am much more conscious of it at launch nowadays!

OK gang, we are going to hold a Nutcase event at Lake Berryessa on January 28th. Details will be posted here as they develop, and we hope that many of you will be able to join in the fun and frivolity. Unfortunately I realize that this date doesn't work for all, and for that I apologize in advance. ...

January 28th it is then - for anyone who can make it either make plans to camp out, get some friends together and rent a cabin, or just show up when the gate opens and we'll get the year kicked off right! Tom - my back deck should be open, and true to the Nutcase events no one will be left at the do...
