I have carried a sporting equipment rider on my homeowners policy for years. It is just a set amount which I have adjusted a couple times. No appraisal was required. It is a good idea to create an inventory and either take pictures, or shoot a video of your equipment with a description of what the i...

Exactly!! I almost mentioned your's and Peter's names in the post!

On most waters we fish, there is enough boat traffic that the noise that your motor makes probably does not make much difference. The fish are used to it. If they quit eating every time a boat passed they would get mighty hungry. The places there might be an exception would in a quiet slough, creek ...

Trey Kistler is as straight up a guy as there is anywhere. A long family tradition of rod building and great service. He is definitely in it for the long haul and wants customers to be happy. Plus the rods are super!

Thanks everyone for your input

Looks like they have exactly what you are looking for. The Smoke/Green lens color is similar to the Mossback. Prescription FAQs: http://www.wileyx.com/prescriptions/faq.aspx Dewayne, are the Smoke/Green polarized? Reading the description it leads me to believe they may not be since other colors are...

Just came from the eye doc with a new perscription. I have been using progressive lenses on my day to day glasses for quite a while now. I have also been using Solar Bats with bifocals. I love the Mossback color lenses, but when I wear them I really wish they were progressive instead of bifocal. Can...

The one I had on my boat trailer was CULN 5S

There was a time when folks used to mistake Cooch for Paul Elias. Until they stand next to each other!! HAR HAR HAR!!

They do both like Italian food though.

Ginger works well to settle your stomach. It even works after you have started to feel bad. You can get candied ginger, or ginger root tablets in the vitamin section at the pharmacy. Another thing that helps is watch the horizon if you begin to feel queezy

Another to avoid when the water is dirty is 021 black with blue flake. Amd just like most everywhere else, green pumpkin and watermelon are both a complete waste of time.

I use 3/0 on 1/4 and 3/8 and 4/0 on 1/2, 3/4 and 1 oz. I use the black Owner structure hooks, not flippin's style. I don't put a weed guard on them. Most places I fish a football head, you don't need one.

Wow, Finally! No more bridesmaid! And in great position for AOY. We're cheering for you Skeet!

The Front Ruuner is made by Norman lures. They may be out of production. They definitely will make a difference, espcially in clear water when fish are chasing bait. Try a google search for those places that still have them. For feathered trailers try making them yourself, it's not that hard. Go to ...

Dawg Gone it Connie, I sure missed ya. Hope to see you next year at one or more of the Rallies

By the way a couple of the Beer Dawgs have moved to Texas, not sure where, they might be close enough to come play at Fork!

Hey Charles, It really was great to see you again. Knowing you were coming West was one of many things I looked forward to about this Rally. I have already told Kate to block out Memorial Day week-end next year. I know some others were talking about it too. How did you get your rods here, any hassle...

Pat

I had a terrific week-end! It was great to see many old friends and make some new ones too. I too want to thank Gator, Tony, Korny and all the others who worked to make this another landmark event. Thanks to those that took me fishing, Tony thanks for letting/making me run the Legend and visit some ...

See ya tomorrow, Fred and I are leaving Marysville about 6:30 or 7

Greetings Scott, from one Chief to another, though I am an Air Force Chief, retired. I spent almost 24 years and have adapted well. I don't know what you have done to prepare so far, but any education certificates, degreees or credentials you can acquire will do you well once you get out. That and y...

Pat

Hey that sounds good to me, can I bring at least one blues CD? I'll make it a good one

Pat

p.s. I had lunch with Dave Low last Sunday

Pat

If you are late for weigh-in, there is not a weight penalty, you just don't get to eat! So I guess maybe there is a weight penalty after all....

Hey Gator, how is our boater-nonboater balance?

Pat

Pat

C'mon Hippy! Suck it up. You can pretend you are back in college pulling an all nighter!
Bring your motley tapes

Fred and I will be up there on Thursday morning. Staying in the KV RV park.

Looking forward to seeng you all!

Skeet is 20 points ahead, with 3 points per position, that means he has a 6 position cushion over the next two events. In recent events on the Potomac River near this time of year, Skeet has finished one place ahead of KVD in one event and one place behind him in the other. Both have finished in the...

What you have to realize is that the FLW organization has to consider a nationwide schedule, not just the West. They have to plan the logistics to get people and equipment in place for multiple circuits. Many parts of the country can't fish tournaments in the winter like we can. As others have said,...

Pat

Andy, Our prayers are with Frankie, you and your family.

Pat

Pat

You are right on C, you don't need those expensive baits to catch quality fish at Clear Lake. In addition to what others have suggested, bring a couple buzzbaits, a black one for early and late and white or chart/white for bright times. Make one of your rods a flippin' stick if you can. You can use ...

Pat

Sounds to me like the solution is with the people who are buying the metal from them. Just like the thieves stealing copper and aluminum wire. Make them provide proper ID and address and have their check mailed to them and that will stop most of it. What it does not stop will give a direct trace to ...

Pat

Believe it or not, if you just want to buy them, our Walmart Superstore has them. Both whole or just the tails. Check the seafood counter

Pat

I think that is where Pilot Slough is...

I coming to catch up with some of my good friends. I love the Rally concept, I was at the very first Rally@Fork and the first Rally@ClearLake along with a bunch of others. Some of the best times I've ever had fishing were at the Rallies, whether I was catching fish or not, cause it's not about the f...

Pat

Butch don't dive! Yet. Besides you have to "SEE" the rod go it to know exactly where to dive!!!!!!!What's this Olivehurst stuff, you move? Hardshell Can't sniff it out eh? No move, we're still in the same place. Post Office just decided that we live in Olivehurst instead of Marysville. Ma...

Haven't you taught that new dog to retrieve sticks yet?

Pat

Glad we got some comments on this. The young folks are probably thinking, eh it's just a buncha old f%^ts complaining about their aches and pains. But we were all young at one time too, and a lot of what we are experiencing now is related directly to things we did or did not do when we were young. W...

In the early days of the Oroville Slot limit, the rule was 5 fish limit, only one over 15" and the rest under 12". If you did not have one over 15, then your whole limit could be under 12". Our club had a vegetable scale with a milk crate hanging from it and we did not weigh the fish ...

Pat

The Loc-R-Bar, like most anti-theft devices can be defeated if someone wants in badly enough. I can even tell you one way to do it, but will refrain from putting it on a public forum. The idea is to discourage the thieves and send them to another target. I had one on my last boat and would probably ...

Pat

Went to the Doc today and he went after 3 spots on my temple with his liquid nitrogen gun. It does smart a little bit and now will have to let them heal. Only posted this a reminder to everyone use your sun block. And, if you notice places on your skin that are kinda crusty or discolored or if they ...

Pat

I have a room reserved at Konocti Vista for Thursday through Saturday night. I have other arrangements now staying in a friends RV. Room is with 2 queen beds. Send me a PM or Email if you want it. First come first served.

Pat

Pat

Hey Charles,

Will be great to see you again, hope we can be as good a host as you always are in Texas.

Turkey Shoot = Fruit Jar tournament. Usually very low key, only rule is to have fun. I hope it goes until after dark, Clear Lake is great at night time. See you in a couple months!

Pat

Pat

Please accept our condolences. Sounds like you are already on the way to healing, recalling the good times you had together and reliving them. It's wonderful the 3 of you had a chance to share them again. You Dad will live on through you and your brother and I'm betting many orthers who have known h...

Pat

Hey Lee, glad to hear that Rally is still going. One of these days I gotta get back down there.

Pat

Pat

Most guys stow them when they are away from the boat. At least the smart ones do. Just put them away when you put away your rods. That's why the quick release Ram and Johnny Ray mounts are popular.

Pat

Pat

I typically have towed at 60-62. That gets me there fast enough. I have never considered myself a hazard at those speeds as other trailer vehicles are usually around that speed too. Watch out for being in the priority lane on a multilane freeway with a trailer too, I got pulled over at 4 a.m. going ...

Pat

Just so many choices! Buzzbait, frog, spook, jig, crank, punching mats, docks last few yers it has been pretty much the way you like to fish. Then there is night fishin,' come on jitterbug...

Is it Rally time yet?

Pat

Pat

What the heck happened to Mike Tuck? He almost fell out of the top 50. Looks like there is a serious race for AOY now.

Pat

Pat

That is sad/bad news follwed by good news. Wishing him a speed recovery!

Pat

Pat

As long as it is flourescent, it should work. At night you don't need light line either. Go with 15-20 pound test.

Pat

Pat

Congratulations! You've experienced a truly life changing experience. Way to go!!

Pat

Pat

Send him a registered letter giving him 2 weeks to make good on the other things promised in the ad. Tell him if he fails to respond, you will buy new items to meet those needs and take him to small claims court to recover the full value of the new stuff. Then, it's up to him. He can avoid the full...
