I just wanted to thank everyone that responded to my posting. There was a lot of useful advice that I could use and some things that I just didn't think about. I am blessed to have a wife that understands me and supports me with anything that I have ever wanted to do, so I am not to worried about th...

I have been fishing for about 13 years and I have a unique opportunity to take the whole year and work on just fishing. I know that everyone is different and everyone learns at a different pace, but I am thinking about taking this year to try and pursue my dreams of being a professional bass fisherm...

I have only got one thing to say and that it has be one is called a Fish Story . :wink: :? :?: Report: Started out at the bridge south fork, jacks shack, one 4ponder.

These are just my thoughts. My feeling on the FPT is that it is for beginner anglers that have not fished a lot of tournaments or are new to bass fishing period, at least that is what it is designed for..... It seems to me that anyone who has won a boat (definitley more than $6000.00) or has had con...

I actually started the Delta topic and I was just probing for an answer to see if I was the only one that found the Delta not so pleasant. To me disliking the Delta really had nothing to do with my inability to catch fish there. The post was not meant to turn into a bash of other anglers, I just wan...

Love2Fish

Thanks for the advice it definitley helps.

Love2Fish

That really doesn't like the Delta all that much. It could be that I don't understand it very well, or the damn nats that drove me nuts, all the boats, or all the hydrilla that fills Franks. Every time I have gone out it is miserable and not very much fun for me. I do like the idea that a hog can be...

I am not sure, but have they dicontinued the Bassmaster Magazine? The reason why I ask is, that I have not received mine in the last 3 - 4 months. I haven't really paid that much attention, but I think they owe me.

good combo???????????????

OK, I have only had my boat for about 2 years now and my bow stop is cracking. When I load my boat I make sure the U bolt is right on the bow stop. However, I have seen a few pictures where the U bolt is about 1" from the bow stop. The question is, am I loading my boat to far up on the trailer?...

I was wondering how realistic or how helpful it is to scuba dive or us and Aqua Vu during pre-fish periods to gain a better understanding underneath the surface.

Any thoughts or just a waste of time and money?

While I was living in Missouri for a short time, they called the Meanmouths.

Love2Fish

What's the reason? Is it debris from the river's?

Love2Fish

My wife just broke her Lamiglas Crank-n-Blade, I would turn it throught warranty, but it was her fault in broke.

Any suggestions on a good replacement?

Thanks in advance.

Love2Fish

I had a really good time and the tournament went very smooth except for all the boats crowding the front. I started out rippin the Lucky Craft Hitch in the north end with one fish that only went for 3#'s. Not another bite for about 2 hours, so I switched to a carolina rigged brush hog and proceeded ...

Love2Fish

Vince setting someone up so they won't dominate the circuit is the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard. Vince blasts the boats off, but I have never seen him check them in. I think it is the boaters fishing the tournament to make sure that they are checked in at the right time.

Love2Fish

I actually fished one of the weekend series when I was living back in Missouri. The co-angler that won actually caught 0 fish. I caught 1 which I know doesn't deserve a check, but it was frustrating to see someone who didn't catch a single fish walk away with the top prize.

Love2Fish

Went to check out the boat today and I noticed an abrasion in the fiberglass (only way I know to describe it), I can trace it probaby back to Berryessa. I noticed a lot of water that day, but didn't know whether it was from backsplash when stopping. Fished Folsom on Sunday and I pulled the drain plu...

I would love to except I am going to Vegas with the wife on the 30th. It sounds like a lot of fun and a good way to improve my skills.

How do they work?

Are they Pro/Am or Team?

Just wanting to the know the particulars because I would like to gain more tourney experience.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, just to clarify. I did fish with my child so that I could teach her to follow rules. Please re-read my previous post.

Love2Fish

OK, I haven't really been fishing very long with fish finders and I am just starting to understand what I see. However, I still get a little confused. When seeing the arches, do I back off and try to cast to the approximate area that I saw the arch, do I mentally mark it, etc. When I change the dire...

Now, I heard Bill Dance say today that Largemouth, spotted, and small mouth bass aren't really a bass at all, They are nothing more than sunfish.

I found this surprising.

I had doubts as to whether to fish the event or not with my 11 year old daughter. I knew that there were going to be participants breaking the rules. However, I decided that I wanted to teach my daughter about tournament fishing and following rules. There were many times throughout the day that I wa...

Directions to Susies Country Cafe?

I was going to fish the FPT at McClure with my daughter, but given the water conditions I have decided that she and I will fish the FBL on Sunday. She has been bugging me to fish a tournament for a long time now, so now we'll come out and have some fun.

Can non club members fish the tourney?

Love2Fish

Got to the lake today and the 5mph was still in effect. However, while on the water I couldn't tell, everyone I saw was in full stride.

Bite was slow for me today, but the weather was awesome.

Love2Fish

Going to fish the FPT next Sat. and I was wondering if McClure is mainly a spotted bass fishery or Largemouth?

Thanks

Love2Fish

I have a question about finding fish (prefishing). If I am in an area where I have caught a fish, do I stick around and try to catch another one? Have I found fish? What constitutes finding fish?

Thanks in advance.

Love2Fish

I fished Folsom today caught a 5.5 and about a 4 on a red crankbait shallow, there was a little wind and cloudy sky. The wind blew harder and harder and then the storm came in. No fish after this.

Should I have moved to deeper water? Thank you.

I just want to thank everyone who responded to my post with their advice. After reading everyone's post my daughter and I decided that we were going to go up to Don Pedro to fish the FPT. When we arrive yesterday it was absolutley beautiful. We were very excited at the possibilty of Saturday being t...

Thank you to everyone who gave advice. I have noticed the updated weather report from about 5 sources and it looks like rain and 13mph winds out of the west. My inclination now is to go ahead and fish it. I have described to my daughter in the worst way what it could be like and she is game. Let me ...

I am planning on fishing the event at Don Pedro Saturday with my 11 year old daughter. Weather.com says that there is going to be rain (not a problem) and 21 - 24MPH winds (a bit of a concern with an 11 year old). The national weather service says almost the same thing, but with a chance of small th...

I have never fished this lake and will be fishing it on the FPT. I am not asking for patterns, areas, etc. I just would like to know what colors work the best on this lake.

Fished the Future Pro Tour yesterday at Berryessa and would like critiques on my strategy. Prefished Friday and found fish in two spots, but I realized that it held mostly smallies and spots. The water temp was around 52 to 55 in the afternoon. My strategy was simply to target smallies and then run ...

Without a doubt fish the Future Pro Tour. My wife and I started fishing it awhile ago and she was a beginner. It was good for here because it is geared towards the beginner.

Ok, I just bought some standing abbies. should I fish them like a jig on a jig rod??? That would be my guess anyhow.

has anyone fished these baits yet? if so, how were they?

I am not sure about the fee, but I just called and the launch ramp is open.

I have a Opti 150HP, my boat is rated for a 175HP. Should I upgrade to a 175 and what will the differences be if any.

I have heard a lot of pro anglers say they have done 90% of their pre-fishing before ever getting on the water. Map reading is one of the ways stated. I know how to read a map to get from one place to another using GPS, etc. However, when it comes to reading a map in terms of best place to fish I am...
