Let me know. Don't hit anything with it.

Things I could use in trade instead of cash: 1. 12 ga magnum pump in 100% mechnical condition with screw choke barrel. Can be field worn. Not looking for a show gun. Just something I can dump high speed steel down range safely. (I have one, but would like a second for my son.) (From Az resident only...

I need a good 4 bank marine battery charger. I have found a new one for a pretty decent price that I'll buy if nothing else comes along before I get some extra cash.

I would like (don't need) a 12 ga magnum shotgun for my son so he quits snagging mine when we go shoot birds.

Best bang for your buck. Wal-Mart Max. Group 29 $75 dollars each. Keep them charged properly and plan to replace them in 18 months. Heck at the price of "good" batteries you could replace them once a year and be money ahead. This is one area I don't mind Wal-Mart. Just about all the other ...

Has anybody heard anything about WON offering a free basic entry into their Pro/AAA circuit to local club AOY winners as part of a promotion? If they have heard of it, can anybody confirm first hand that they have actually done it?

Bob La Londe

So with the BMF being out of reach.... What would be the next straight shank flipping hook? .... Or does anyone sell those cool little plastic barbs that keep your bait up to the eye? What are you guys using? I have a few BMF hooks left but getting down to about 3 packages... Steven I could use a s...

Bob La Londe

Most places I posted this that was about the response. The point though is GM is reinforcing bad behavior as normal. Advertising has an affect atleast indirectly on what people think and do, or they wouldn't spend money to advertise.

Bob La Londe

So what do you guys think of the latest GM commercial showing the boater backing down the ramp blocking a lane, and THEN starting to get their gear out of the truck?

Bob La Londe

That sucks Greg. Find the tournament drector and has them DG'ed. There are rules covering that!!! John. Are there? I have read a few fishimg club/tournament rules, and most encroachment rules seem to only cover other competitors. I suppose sportsmanship rules might apply, but that's so vague it wil...

Bob La Londe

Could say the same thing about any "group" of boaters. Nothing like going out mid week to have some relatively undistirurbed fishing time, and having somebody in a ski boat decide to pass right next to you, then cut throttle and start throwing their ski gear in the river right off your bow...

FyrFytr and I hit the river Thursday for half a day. It was an awesome day on the water. We only caught 12-14 keepers, but we had a steady bite all day long. With the overcast it never got really hot. There wasn't much of a topwater bite or a frog bite. I got three rolls and one keeper on a popper ...

Bob La Londe

Looks like as good of a bet as any. I'll send them of a request for quote.

A variety of that scam has been around for a very long me.

Dang-It! Humility Check! I won a couple or three tournaments (local club tourneys) and started to feel a little bit of self confidence, and those pesky fish slapped me down hard. Geez. We brought three fish to the scale yesterday. In order to even do that I had to fall back on one of my beginners tr...

The registration on the BassCat is good through March 31st. Thinking I'm a little busy, and its been tough to get away I figured I would take advantage of the AzGFD's on-line registration renewal. Other than my personal gripe about them charging you an extra 3 bucks to renew on-line it went smoothly...

Kelly over at River Marine called me this morning. He let me know he was planning to have some of his prostaffers fish Yuma Pro Am as "standby" boaters. Basically they are not super interested in competing seriously at this club level, but they are more than willing to come out and let a n...

Sorry guys. Meant to post this in Southwest. Can we get a moderator to move it?

Bob La Londe

... but a lot of fun. We caught them all trolling crankbaits. I had a blast. Caught more fish in an outing than I have in a long time. Gary snapped a few pictures. This was the 1st one we got. http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9949/dsc02329zy2.th.jpg Then another not too long after... http://img84.im...

Bob La Londe

I sure looks like the Jackall. Some others have suggested baits by Snag Proof, Yo Zuri, and Strike King. Its definitely not the Snag Proof. I have not tracked down the Yo-Zuri or Strike King versions to compare yet.

Bob La Londe

It could very well be. Thanks.

Bob La Londe

Anybody know of a rubber body bait that looks just like a classic Rapala jerk bait. Its got the same profile and the same plastic bill,but its an all rubber body with what looks like a cable through the body for the rear hook. Its also a very slow sinker. Just a tad heavier than a suspending bait, b...

Bob La Londe

Here is some solid dope. You gotta dope it out for what it is worht too you. My last tournament on the river produced one decent bass at about 3.9 pounds caught over deep standing trees on a popper in a back water lake. My partner caught several shorts and missed a lot of hits on a popper earlier wh...

Watch out for sandbars? Whatchoo talkin' about? Down here we aim fer 'em. Winderup to a hunertandten til yer speedo says you hit top end and skip right over it.

Just ask Nummie about his ride up river with me. I never even slowed down. (If I had we would have been stuck for sure.)

Bob La Londe

I have to say that the St Croix Drop Shot rod is not a bad rod. At $200 its almost as much as the G-Loomis. I've used both, and I own the St Croix. You are going to laugh though. My goto rod for drop shotting and split shotting is a Quantum Tour spinning rod at less than half the price. Model TES704...

Daaannnng-It.

If you were a little closer I'ld be interested in some Texas Hold-Em lessons.

I'm a 7-card stud player, but its getting pretty hard to find a game these days since TV done went gone and made everybody want to play hold-em.

Ok... I kinda figured that from reading the application form when I finally found it. It took me three or four searches to find. Thanks. I'll save your phone number and give you a call towards the end/start of the year. I should have an idea what kind of participation we will have next year by then....

What is required to get a permit for a Ca bass tournament?

Any popper in either solid black or bone white depending on the light levels.

Its a little far for me to travel these days, but I copied your post over onto the forums on my website. Can't hurt to get a little more exposure. On the flip side... 7 boats is always better than no boats. Some success is better than none. Personally I hope you get a hundred boats out there, but on...

The date for the November tournament was the same day as a Yuma Bassmasters tournament.

Because several of our regulars fish both Yuma Pro Am and Yuma Bassmasters I decided to changed the date for the November tournament to:

Tournament: November 5th
