Many of you who did tournaments may member Duane. His big smile was almost as memorable as his love, Victoria. Like most of us he was always so close to that school of big fish. He dropped out of site in recent years as ALS trapped him within a failing body. While his passing is likely a blessing to...

This was an almost new lower unit when the power head blew. Kept it as a spare. It is in great shape. Off a 2005 225 HO but they fit many models. Call if interested.

This is my backup motor I purchased used and used it for about 2 years myself. Was working well when pulled from the boat a couple years ago, but is well used. Does not have a mount. Will give you 14 days to return if unhappy with it. Want $200. Call Dewayne at (510) 414-8896, motor is located in Br...

So sad. Even after Jim quit fishing, once a year I would get a call from Jim just to say hello and talk for a while. The first couple times I saw him cell number come up I assumed he needed something, but all he ever wanted was to catch up on what we both had been doing over the last year. My though...

Dewayne

So sad to hear, he was a great friend and he will be missed. My thoughts are with his family.

Dewayne

Ken,
It seems like it is, but just to make sure, this unit is compatible with the older HDS units?

Dewayne

Your hooks worked well and you were right, they snag for less than I would have expected. Who in Nor-Cal has them in stock and are there different sizes? I may want to play with them as a stinger for hollow body swim baits.

Thanks!

Dewayne

I recently had to replace another blown out GY Marathon, I was told GY is stopping production of the tire. The reseach I did showed the Kumho was the best bet. I found a new GY sine I already had 2 brand new ones.

Dewayne

With all this thinking you are scaring us.

Look forward to hearing your idea.

Dewayne

No arguement from me on that point Justin. I just thought that last time we talked he said he wasn't fishing much.

Dewayne

I thought Mike Andrews quit fishing.

Only George understands this list.

Dewayne

Use a wet white towel to cover the tops of your live wells. Hit them with Please Release Me or Catch and Release chemicals a couple times during the day to relax the fish and cut their stress and O2 requirements. Run the live wells on Medium. timer all day. If you go into shallow warm bays or areas ...

Dewayne

The last few trips I have made the fishing has been pretty tough for Shasta. The craws are starting to move up and there are fish feeding on them a little better so the jig bite is improving. Been catching some on drop shot and dart head also, but I have been covering a lot of water for a few bites....

Dewayne

There is also a hotel at Bridge Bay. It very safe and has great views.

Dewayne

Dom,
Any good set of glasses has coated lenses. The coatings are what scratch, not the lens material. No matter what you wear I would be very careful about dipping them in the lake and wiping them off with a dirty shirt, it is just a bad practice that will lead to more damaged glasses.

Dewayne

The Lens material for Wiley-X is Poly Carbonate and is designed to protect your eyes from impacts. It is also coated with several layers of coatings to provide good optical qualities. They will scratch if not cleaned properly. I have been wearing them daily for probably 6 years now and have never br...

Dewayne

In August you will probably live in the lake, it is usually quite hot. Get a fire permit from the forrest service so you can legally have a camp fire. The lake should be low enough to do it safely then, but be sure to put it out completely before going to bed. Once you think it is out about two more...

Dewayne

I had a blast last weekend fishing for Blue Gills off the bed around Frank's Tract. Any protected area behind the tules was loaded with beds and they were easy to catch using a drop shot rig with a 1" piece of an old plastic worm. Hopefully this hot weather has not driven them out of the shallo...

Dewayne

How is this different than FLW where the circuit has a vested interest in seeing their "team" anglers do well to keep the circuits sponsors happy? That situation has bothered me far more over the years than Mark fishing the tournaments run by his organization. And yes, I have fished AC Pro...

Dewayne

Was up Mermorial Day weekend. The bite was on and off, but generally not very good. The fish had not moved to the beds in the areas I hit and the water temp was 62-63 degrees. With the more stable weather this weekend it could turn on though. The fish have to be itching to hit the bank. The lake is ...

Dewayne

Several year ago there was one on a bed in Frank's Tract that was well over 3#. She was bedded up with seceral big males. Galen and I caught a few of the males and they were all scaled at about 1.7# - 1.8#, they were huge and she was twice their size. I made two or three trips out to fish for her, b...

Dewayne

I am fishing it, if I can remember how to fish that is. The weather is looking great and there have been huge sacks comming in lately.

Dewayne

Blown power head, but may be of some use to someone for parts. Has an almost new heavy duty lower unit put on last year with low hours on it. This is not an E-Tec, but the lower unit was interchangable with the older E-Tecs and the lower unit is a newer HD E-Tec. Will sell it whole for parts for $18...

Dewayne

So Wayne, now that your too busy to use your houseboat I will be glad to exercise it for you.

Congratulations on the purchase of Western Bass. See you soon.

Dewayne - Marina 4.

Dewayne

Mac,
That is why I never pre-fish with a backseater other than a couple I know very well. While it can help the boater, you have more to loose than to gain. The boater you draw should have a plan. You show up on the boat and help him execute his plan.

Dewayne

Hey Eric,
I will be up at my house boat this weekend. If my son gets energetic and is up early enough can we sign up at the lake?

Dewayne

In early June the water temps are usually a little cold for the kids to swim for long. The lake should be full in June which will be great, but I know my kids prefer a little later in the year when they can swim all day. Finding a good tie up spot is also a challenge if you don't know the lake when ...

Dewayne

Matt,
Tell your dad we are wishing him the best.

Dewayne

Sorry, but there is a competitive advantage to carrying 6 fish in the boat. You open a livewell with 6 fish, one is dead and there is another about the same size. Which are you going to weight? The rule states you cannot cull dead fish. Rule inforcement over the past few years has gotten really bad....

Dewayne

A 3/4 or 1oz head gets down pretty quick. I fish a 3/4oz a lot down to 100+ feet. A weed guard is a bad idea for deep jigging. The long line length take away a lot of the power of the hookset and causes you to miss fish with the weed guard. Also the heavier the jig the heavier the weedguard need to ...

Dewayne

$40 a gallon for bulk!!!! I can get it by the gallon cheaper. The price of oil alone is going to drive everyone to 4 stroke motors. Sounds like I will have to start ordering it on-line.

Thanks!
DB

Dewayne

Anyone know of a good place to bet bulk XD-50? Boatmasters is no longer carrying the stuff.

Thanks!

The conditions there can change fast. I was fishing a tournamernt last August and spent 2.5 days fishing the south end of the lake with a lot of algae in the water, but great fishing and it was very fishable. Withing 15 minutes we saw the breeze lay down and all the algae float to the surface. The e...

Dewayne

While there are always areas where you can fish on CL. the algae blooms also create some areas where it is tough, miserable, or you cant fish. I would say it is still worth the trip, but you may want to call ahead to get the current algae conditions. Last year in August much of the South end of the ...

Bridge Bay Resort - There may be a couple others, but Bridge Bay is the best bet.

Dewayne

I have talked with Mike at Bridgebay about this situation. It is pretty simple. Because of the high water they have very limited parking. Because of this they are making two changes for the summer. No bass tournaments and on the Holliday weekends they will not be issueing guest parking permits to th...

Dewayne

I need to talk to him about some engine repairs.

Thanks!

Dewayne

Actually January is one of the best times to fish Shasta. The spots feed pretty heavy though the winter. The Lake is at 940 feet and the drop has slowed. We have some rain already and it usually is rising quickly in January. There is a pretty good chance we will have Packers ramp back in the water b...

Dewayne

It is safe and inexpensive. I used to stay there about 20-30 days a year and was always pleased. It's not an upscale hotel that you want to take the family on vacation, but a great place to crash and shower for bass fishing. I was unsure when I heard a few years ago it had been sold to a middle east...

Dewayne

Although tieing to a private dock is trespassing, which could be a ticketable offence and if ticketed could lead to a DQ. The odds are pretty slim though. It is common to anchor or tie up when fihing bed fish. In most circuits if your anchored and your TM is up you own 25 yards or so around your boat.

Dewayne

Having an event directly after a FLW event would eliminate most who have fished FLW as there would be no pre-fish time. Of course if you are looking for only anglers who have never cashed a check you would eliminate most who desire to fish the events. I am not sure why you would want them close in l...

Dewayne

You move to the front then tell us about how you were shafted on the back when the payback was less than that of the boaters. It's real simple. We need some new boaters, break out that $100k and come play. It would not take you too long to figure out it does not make financial sense to fish from the...

Dewayne

Well, they said in the meeting tonight that they will be back next year, but the entry fee for the NG will be cut in half (pro will be $2,000). The Delta is also getting hurt because we are fishing it at a bad time of year. September can be real tough and many anglers are only getting very few bites...

Dewayne

I cannot tell you the number of bass boats with experienced fishermen each weekend with no life vest on. I am an expert swimmer, but I wear mine any time the big engine is on and in winter I wear it all the time. It was refreshing last weekend on Shasta to take a kid fishing from the houseboat next ...

Dewayne

I thought he was too old, dead, broken, or something.

Congrats Gary! Hope to see you at the Delta.
