Last month I hit top speed on my old Skeeter on Hodges moving from point A to point B. Something flew past my face and into the water and I soon realized it was my transportable Piranha 10 depth finder I had won at an Aim Marine expo. :cry: I turned real fast to see if I could get it before it sank,...

Otay Michael

I figure it takes so long to get one (a really big bass) you don't really want to lose it when you get it. :( And for tournament fishermen that means every one. I had to get the Stowmaster after doing my research on the web a couple of years ago or so. Mine does not have that fancy grip but that's o...

It, like Otay, closes every year from end of October till February or March. Otay had duck hunting but the homes are up to it now on one area so I don't know if they will still have it. Barrett has an even shorter season by about one month on each end.

They kicked Foley out faster than you could say goodbye, even though he was not convicted of anything, while some Democratic congressman that was actually convicted of sex with a 17 year old page was re-elected even.

Time for a re-think?

I did not fish the tourney but I fished there that day. John Kerr and Mike Long won it by about 5 lbs or more, as far as I know. 17.9, and the closest I heard was about 12! Most bags ran 6 to 10.

Otay Michael

jcruz, I think if you go back to see prop 1A and vote yes, you won't need prop 1b anyway.

Thanks Marty.

Otay Michael

Isn't that a kaleidoscope?

Otay Michael

Oh, and I had one over 25 'look seriously' at my lure on her bed at Dixon last April, just two weeks after she had been caught and released!

Now THAT was exciting!!!!

I would start my own 25 or better club.

Otay Michael

I barely beat you with a 8.40 on a topwater popper at Otay when I was quite young. I'd like to join that 10 pound club and was planning to and had to cancel my Clearlake trip for a little while. The lovely wife decided the drive/trip from San Diego was a bit too much for only four days, oh well.

Otay Michael

I fished Clearlake only once, and because of the distance, brought the aluminum boat that, at that time, only had a trolling motor on it. It was Thanksgiving a couple of years ago, a very cold Thanksgiving I might add, with rain :? , but I caught a lot of nice fish and one day had fairly nice weathe...

Otay Michael

Thanks to the many PM's from so many, it will be a big help and now I'll fish with confidence. So many were repeat patterns so I know they will work. But no one reported any topwater action and I'm not sure if anyone tried. Anybody in that department with any luck, I mean skill? I'd rather catch one...

Otay Michael

Also, would be glad to trade a trip backseating with a local for one down here in San Diego, lake of your choice.

Just heard on the news that the Govenator vetoed this bill today. Too Cool.

Otay Michael

Thanks Marty. It puts a direct spotlight on the problem. Now, the solution is needed.

Otay Michael

They have started a 'lounge' board effect, but it's not easy to find/ so it's not very user friendly. It takes me a lot of clicking around to find; no wonder they said it was discontinued from lack of use before. :cry: Hopefully it will get a link next to the one on top of this page to make it easy ...

My prayers are with you big guy.

WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH FISHING ? DO WE NEED THE POLITICS HERE ALSO ?

THE FISH YOU RELEASE TODAY, IS A GIFT TO ANOTHER ANGLER TOMORROW

The call you make today, is a gift to another angler tomorrow.

Thanks Ron C. and all those that will contact the Govenator. I figured someone probably would have posted something on this but did not see it recently. It probably would not hurt for everyone interested in stopping this very liberal indoctrination bill to re-comment on how they feel about it again ...

Hello northern board, I'm going up to visit you guys tomorrow from San Diego, fly fishing for trout around Mammoth. 2nd time this summer! Here's the scoop I wanted you let you know about...

Kerry should have come up!!!!

But if you entered 'True Leader': Then Bush should have come up. (Who could care less about the poles, but what is right for America):

Then again, in reality "skunked" should have come up.

It's a two day event, but you draw for which lake you start at. Half fish one lake, the other half the other. The next day they change lakes.

I've been researching all of these products online. The consensus is that 'Poliglow' outlasts all the others by a large margin. To get it at the best price on the web I could find too here is a link: http://horizonsltd.com/Merchant4/merchant.mvc? My '87 Skeeter is going to get a coating soon, you ca...

Otay Michael

Maybe that Seafood restarurant at the end of Seaport Village on the water there would be the ticket. Very ROMANTIC, if you get my drift

Otay Michael

Sounds like a very inconsistant manufacturer, kinda hit and miss. At John Kerr's seminar last week at Aim Marine down in San Diego he touted the Maxima line (I think he's sponsored by them). He says he does NOT have to re-spool very often as the stuff lasts 10 times longer than regular line. So in t...

I'm with you guys. In fact, the whole industry seems to suck the more I think about it. Why isn't there some sort of fishing team deal, like baseball has? Then these guys could really make money 'and have insurance too', etc.. I've read where only a few could really afford the sport, (can you imagin...

Otay Michael

I'm looking to purchase a good, used, newer model fish finder. Hopefully no more than two or three years old, with a GPS. I have an older ('87 Skeeter) and I think it had origianal equipment that just went out. The pixels were the size of golf balls, so it was only good for finding the depth, which ...

There are a ton of articles already written on just about any type of bass fishing there is. Just do a search on 'how to fish the delta' and there will probably be enough reading material to fill a book. I've got a ton of print outs from the last three years of research, since I got back into it, an...

Otay Michael

For the beginners out there, I'd say to make sure you do not swing on the fish as soon as it blows up on the lure. Reel down until you feel them 'load up' on the bait, then swing. Topwater is my favorite style of fishing. I've really spent most of my fishing hours (many, many days of hours) in the p...

Now that makes sense. Thanks.

Otay Michael

Ok, I just fished my new 3:16 frogs (which are awesome baits in many ways) and got hit first cast down in the Cuyamaca weeds cove, then nada for an hour or so. These baits are HUGE and will, I'm sure, really slay the big ones soon. Question: They seem to take water in fairly quick in that little air...

Otay Michael

I love hearing how folks try to think like a fish and what the end results are. Most of this thought process is so beyond me at this point, but you help so much with your 'behind the scene' reports.

Thanks for the great report.

Otay Michael

Cooler deeper, now that point makes a lot of sense. Thanks. I did not know folks had a recirculate system, thus I could not figure how adding ice would help as the cold water would just be pumped out almost immediately, at least in my boat. Now that part makes sense too. And of course, being a 'man'...

Otay Michael

The three times I've used my livewell at the Colorado river where it gets mighty hot out, I've just pumped water in and the overage just flows out. I've not used any products nor ice, and I don't have a re-circulate system on my older '88 Skeeter (that I know of). But my fish have always been fine a...

Otay Michael

I just ordered some online yesterday. Looks like a great match between a floating lure (which gets hit but not swallowed, and a hard plastic, non floating one that gets hit but can't float for those time when you need it to. It's something I would have invented if I could have, but now I won't have ...

Wow, what a sight that must have been. Glad you had a great time out here.

Me too, that's why I posted them. Glad you folks appreciated them. May future deaths be far a few between.

God bless our servicemen, and their families that get so little for giving so much. Thanks for fighting to keep us free to do the things we love, that we usually take for granted.

Been trying pretty hard down here in San Diego in the evenings, but it's warming up slowly. Here is one from exactly one month ago on my new go to bait for topwater (mistakenly first reported as a horny toad, but realized later it was a Stanley 'Ribbit': http://www.seewald.com/images/Fishing/Otay/4....

Otay Michael

Thank God that a few dead fish is nothing compared to a few years ago when we ALL kept our fish, and if we did not eat them we gave them to our neighbors. And heck, you could try to eliminate the species from all of the lakes and it would be like trying to kill all the ants by stepping on them all, ...

Otay Michael

I just fished braid with a blade most of the day at Barrett. It's amazing how you feel the fish hitting the lure a few times before actually eating it in some cases (as braid is soooo sensitive). I knew I was going to get one before it ate it completely. Now, some of those were only 8 to 12" in...

I would like to find some. I saw a guy in S. Africa with some. Lightweight, ran up the wrist a bit, fingers exposed, probably waterproof or close to it probably. Anything out there like this, name?
Thanks in advance.
