Who was the guy...

[Mike]

With the white F250 W/shell pulling a Bass Cat W/250hp Merc. over the Antioch Bridge @ 6:20am this morning?? And what the heck is that big tube thingie coming off your motor?? It lookid like a ski pole attached to the side of his lower unit!

[bahlzar]

that hose spits out live minnows from the livewell to attract the hawgs...

Mike: when i head that way to a jobsite and i see trucks pullin boats it kills me, how bout you?

[shifterpilot2001]

It was probably one of the new anchor systems.... Dont know the exacts on it, but have seen it in mag once, and saw one on a boat here on CL just two days ago.... actually would be sweet for site fishing......I know it kills me when I'm headin to the office, and see someone going out... lol

Bahlzar,

I just got moved from Discovery Bay to Fairfield 2 weeks ago. It SUCKS! The drive sucks the $4.00 a DAY for bridge toll sucks, and yes, seeing all of the bass boats going fishing sucks too! But I had that going to Disco too.

[Mike]

Yep, I think thats what it was. Any way, I had to lock up my breaks on my lifted GMC this morning when I was coming up beside him and he decided to switch lanes with out looking! That was a close one.

Mike,

Shifter was right on in what the item was. I saw the boat launch yesterday. Two fisherman from Arkansas. I did a double take myself when I saw it, wondering what the heck it was.

Anchor system.......????? Would be great for the middle of Franks or Big Break with a 15-25 mile an hour wind.

[Mike]

Rich, was it a bass cat?

What aint you out fishing???

That anchor thing would be cool for bed fishing

[Slippy]

yeah its a poll that digs into the ground to keep you from drifting.

I know the feeling of seeing a boat in the morning while im going to work.... UGH!

[Guest]

It was probable Vince Hurtado.
He runs a basscat, has a campershell and yes, has a new POWER POLE anchoring system on the back of the boat.
I saw the system for the first time when we picked up the boat a few weeks ago, THEY ARE WAY KOOL. You are going to start to see more of them around. A must for shallow water fishing.

I have seen these before also, and I am sure they have thier advantages....but, I always thought "Anchoring" was shuned on by bass fishermen?

Tell him to look in his mirror before changing lanes! We were coming up to the toll booth and I was just about even with his motor and he decided he didnt want to be behind the big rig in fromt of him, so he jerk's into my lane. I ALMOST took out his motor and qurater panel of his boat.

[Hitman]

These are hydraulic driven...they were developed by a flats guide out of Florida. Great tool for bedfishing!!!! The only problem I see with it is that it would get in the way of casting for your backseater.

It likely was Vince Hurtado if it was a BassCat. BASS rules I believe prevent a co-angler from holding your position in the water so he likely got this device to secure his boat for sight fishing. I saw it up at the USAC ProAm on Oroville. It looked like a cool unit.

The power pole is used for skinny water. Also good for anchoring shallow and pulling baits up the banks espically near deep channels and points.

[BassTraveler]

Hey Mike,
I've got one...but it's not an anchor.
Mine is a water ballon launcher.
It will hold 20 eight oz. (American Flag) ballons filled with water at a time.
It is guaranteed to soak anybody as far away as the the tournmament limits state. In case of 100% bass where there is no limits...Fire away.
50 yards no problem.
In no time at all, people will come to show respect.

Nice! I hope it is warm for the NG.

[fishercurtis]

I saw him coming into little mandeville around 1pm and wondered what the heck it was. I like the idea of the waterballoon launcher though.

[Cooch]

I love yer honesty dude! And these guys thought Chris Ball was in here looking for a patato gun fer his hard ball kids! Some of us are truely privy to this never ending battle!

[Vince Lazzeroni]

BassTraveler,
The balloon launcher will come in handy iffin' any jet skiers get too close eh?

An embellishment of an old Florida flats guide trick. Why shouldn't it work sight fishing for bass....ot works on Bones, permit, tarpon, etc...?...
