Texas John was the informant who led to his capture- good work John!!

The delta Maniac was spotted in Pilot Slough, apprehended, and then managed to escape four sheriff deputies and one K-9 unit. At the time of his apprehension the Maniac a.k.a. Guy Bobber, had caught what appeared to be a world record bass. According to one sheriffs spokesman " that fish was the...

Summary of news article today in the Press Enterprise: CDRC and Warden Derral G. Adams of Corcoran State prison issued a statement saying the Delta Maniac has been released from jail. "We are urging outdoorsman in the San Joaquin Delta to be very cautious near boat launches, duck blinds, and bo...

I would stick with trinity and go for the big smallies they have there. Nothing wrong with Whiskey Town, but its going to be real hot then. The North end of the lake has tailings- these are rubble piles made by mining. They are all over the place and a great place to fish,-- but watch your motor. Th...

Have your follow up on a flippin stick, with the same reel setup, and same line. If the fish misses your frog, and you throw back in their witha follow up bait, you'll need the same set up to get em out of there.

1) Split a sharpie pen, and run the first6-8 feet for the braid through it- colors the line black 2) Have a big/ wide/ strong net 3) Have a follow up bait ready to cast- I mean not on a guide hook, ready to cast. Some people will advocate throwing the frog right back at them when they miss, others s...

I was reading the fishing report this morning, and DVL pumped out a 3.45Lb bluegill>>> I would love to find a picture of that fish. I haven't checked the World record, but I should.

The dude surely fought like mad.

Thx Ringer- this is a big help!!

Does anyone know of a taxidermist who could turn some deer antlers into a letter opener?. A good guy from Houston asked me to help, so I thought I would ask, as I have read some posts re: bass replicas being done.

Thx-

The other fun part of catching these fish on the glof course ( and I have permission to fish there), is seeing the golfers go nuts when she is reeling these big boys in. This pond is near the green, and the golfers always clap when I lip the fish for her. I am always a Captain Ahab, I think there is...

She topped her 7 pounder from last week, and she wants to fish everyday after school.

She caught this on a 4" beaver bug, this one tops her 7 from last week.

She wants to fish everyday after school.

I haven't fished it, but I do know there is an incredible smallmouth lake up there. I believe it's on the way or near Northstar off of 80 leading to North shore.

I'll bet if you call Jon Walton @ Waltons Pond he would know, or steer you in the right direction.

Having never fished there, I was wondering if anyone had any basic lake layout info they could share.

No spots, just flats, vertical areas, north vs. south, east vs. west etc.

Thanks,

Tim

I am sorry to report that our great friend Tim Madden is no longer with us. Tim passed on suddenly yesterday, and the funeral arrangements are being planned as I type this post. Once I have the details I can be contacted regarding the time and place. Tim is one of the finest people I have ever known...

Been awhile for me, as we have moved again, and this time to temecula (20 minutes to Diamond Valley). But I have an "old timer" observation. Is it just me, or have we moved on to other things, or are some of us just not as active in the fishing circuits as before. Being a West Coast Bass g...
