Hey fellas, just checking in to see how many will make the trek to the big pond this Saturday night for a little moonlight fishing? The moon will be three days past full on Saturday so it should be fun. Any clubs coming over for a night tourney? We are going to be out there and I wanted to see how m...

Auggie Dog

Just wanted to see if anyone knows what is working there. We are going down Saturday and it has been months since I have been there.

Hey Greg! :D No problem bro' I am just very glad to be able to help out a fellow nutcase. When I dropped that unit off last night at Steve's shop, he went on about what a great guy you are and a little bit about your background. A truly amazing story Greg...I am very glad this worked out so you can ...

Does anyone know if they are still doing the turkey shoots on weeknights at Clear Lake?

Auggie

Auggie Dog

Greg, As a fan, I am sorry to see you have to cut your season short, no matter what the reason. I do not know you personally but have admired you from afar for your dedication to bass fishing as well as your community. It must be very difficult fishing full time as well as being a captain of the fir...

You are a brave man Jack....Clear Lake on Memorial day weekend?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Make sure you wear your PDF at all times. The skiers that weekend brings to the water seem to love to buzz bassboats when ever they get a chance.

WOW

Auggie Dog

Dan, I can say with conviction....YES!!!! :D :shock: I just bought a used 150 Johnson for my 1987 18.5 Skeeter but it has a 25 in shaft instead of 20 in. I had to install a 5" jack plate and WOW what a difference. I had a 175 Evinrude bolted direct to the transom before and it took a while to g...

Dom,

Where do you live and what do you consider local?

Auggie Dog

You guys are asking the wrong questions. It is spring...the weather is getting warmer....the days are getting longer....and all you can think about is a stinking fish? What I want to know is....WHERE ARE THE MISTY GIRLS!?!?!?!?!?! :evil: Summer is coming and I have yet to here of a single red white ...

I just wanted to thank everyone again for all of the help and advice I received about my motor problem. I wanted to let you know I found a 1993 150 hp Johnson on e-bay from a very reliable shop in Florida. Out of over 200 motor sales he had a 100% positive feedback so I am hoping I don't make that 9...

Bustout,

This is only my opinion but I loved my 3 blade metal prop before I broke a blade on a stump. It was very tough and great in the weeds on Clearlake (just don't hit a stump when bedfishing). It was better than the plastic three blade I have now.

Hey everyone, thanks for the replies. :D I tried to answer all of the pm's...if I missed you, I am sorry. I should have been more specific in that I only have about $3,500-$4,000 to spend including labor and that is if I hock my pickup again. Any more and I will need to come up with another $10,000 ...

Auggie Dog

Flip,

I have a 7'MH spinning rod and I just got the Woo Daves series Extreme trigger rod in 7'4" MH and I love them both. I am ordering the 7'10"H tomorrow as an inexpensive solution to big swimbaits on Clearlake.

MikeD Thanks for the reply. The first time she went, it melted two pistons into gobs. When I got the new powerhead, it started "ticking" and then shut down before I could get her woooed up the first time. We found one hole where the walls were all scratched up as well as the piston skirt. ...

Howdy Kurt.....I know...I know! :x When I got done typing I knew I either had to delete it or add a disclaimer... :lol: I am just trying to make myself laugh because I can't find any other reason these days. Thanks for the offer of the ride. Like I told Cooch.....you might as well strap a banana tre...

Auggie Dog

Well Cooch, I feel you pain! My bigest problem now is with my luck running as it is, I'm afraid to use anyone else's boat! I don't think I could convince the wife that I have to buy TWO motors. :shock: Heck, I'm not even "getting any" right now because she is afraid might blow HER up!!! :t...

Auggie Dog

I know this really belongs on the classified page but I am reaching out to the masses to help a fellow Nutcase. :) Last August, I bought an 87 Skeeter with the same year 175 HP Evinrude from a friend in our local bass club. I knew the boat was in great shape and that he had not had any problems with...

Auggie Dog

Tom hit it pretty good by telling you to practice, practice practice. How many of us go fun or prefishing and swing our fish instead of netting it. When I take my son out, we try to have him net everything just for the practice. With the way he has taken to bass fishing, he will be an am in bigger t...

Chuck, This is the 10th year I have fished this tournament and I can tell you that with this many anglers, you just can't please em' all.....never have and never will. :cry: There were definately a few glitches this year like blasting a little early on Saturday (it was pretty dark but like was said ...

Gary, The richest man in the world is a man with great friends. Although we have never met face to face, I, like many others here, feel I know you through the great interaction on this website. I can tell by the overwhelming response to the news of your accident that you have many friends whether th...

My Lowrance X-100c is on the fritz and I can't get the repair authorization page to come up on their website. :cry: The unit powers up without touching the on switch and when you try to turn it off, it comes back on after releacsing the button. I need a unit for the Holder Ford tourney this weekend ...

Richard,

You moved the deadline to 5:00 pm this year?

Dave

Auggie Dog

Phil, Deadline is 6:00 pm on Friday the 14th. Many teams wait until that time since the blast off numbers are assigned as they are received and they reverse the order on Sunday. If you wait until Friday night, you are last out on Saturday but you are assured of the first flight out on Sunday. If I r...

Mike, It was......until I started having problems with my eyesight. It is getting worse today so I might have to call in tomorrow. :cry: I see the conversation going something like this: :x "Boss.....I am having a problem with my eyes today. I just can't see myself coming to work today!!!! :win...

Thanks Dan, that link was easy and fast. I hope everyone here will still sign this to let them know how we feel. They could still bring this up the next time they are looking for cuts.

I am curious how you guys are rigging the 6.5? I bought some to use with the Falcon 6/0 weighted hook but when rigged Texas style, the bait is so thick, the hook doesn't want to come through and the bait rolls over way too easy. I was thinking about a bigger hook like the one that comes with the Mis...

Auggie Dog

Greg, Don't get too excited yet, they are dropping it again as we speak. The water level will be up & down from now until April as storms appear on the forcast since they use it for flood control for the lower river basin (Guerneville) this time of year. It makes it hard on the fish because the ...

I'm not sure if anyone saw the story a while back that under the new round of budget cuts, 48 Cal State parks will be either shut down or run at a reduced capacity. :shock: I know Clear Lake was on the list and now has been removed from the Reserve America reservation website. This system is the onl...

Auggie Dog

Ed is right...these are truly beautiful baits. I was lucky enough to be involved in the test phase (in other words, I walked in one day as Benno was finishing a batch so I snagged some at a reduced price so that put me on the test staff...WooHoo!). :roll: These baits swim almost perfect when rigged ...

Auggie Dog

Dewayne,

In order to speed things along...please send me 10 cases of your new product without the bait. I just need the "scent"to make for a good day on the lake.....who cares if I catch any damn fish?!?!?!?!?!??!

Auggie Dog

Georgen, The number of boats usually will depend on the weather forecast. With a sign up deadline of 6:00 pm the night before the tournament, many anglers will wait until a few days before the tourney to gauge the weather before commiting. Last year, I think there were about 135-140 boats with fairl...

Auggie Dog

Well Larry, I guess we can take you off of the milk carton now. :roll: I'm glad to see you still are posting here even with some of the "below the bar" behavior we seem to be getting here lately. Even though I live a lot closer to Clear Lake than you, my job keeps me off of the water more ...

Well Cooch,

You could always come to Clear Lake---I hear the bite is "off the hook"!!!

Rich, I am truly sorry you have to go through this. Don't let the doctors get you down. My Father is a good example of what can happen since he was given 2-5 years in 1990. He just left my office to go see how much snow is in the parking lot at the lake. He has battled cancer 5 times now and had whi...

Auggie Dog

Nah....you can keep it Bill, this is enough for me. We sit at about 650' above sea level so this is strage for us. I'm just glad I'm not running the narrows on Clear Lake!

Kurt,

Nice fish bro'!

Now we just need to lose that thing on your head and get you a Giants hat to wear!

I hope Gary D. appreciates you pimping his rods....good rods = big fish!

Nothing better than catching big fish off of the "toon"

Das, I will second pretty much everything Mr. Rogers said (it is his "neighborhood" so to speak...sorry David...I couldn't resisit!) but if this is the wife's trip too, night fishing might not fit into the plan. Anytime after June 15 is good to avoid big tournaments due to DFG's 6 hour rul...

Mark, Wow! I picked up your mag for the first time at Tackle It in Lakeport a few weeks ago and I was very impressed. I did not know about it before that but I wished I had. It was nice to read about places I know and by people I have heard of doing things I need to be doing myself. As far as you qu...
