Maybe so, but, if there is a hell, I hope it has a special basement section for thieves and selfish people, who care about themselves more than about others.

I just got a text from someone who tried to launch this morning.
According to Lisa, Russo's is officially closed due the Covid 19 virus.

truly appreciate all the responses and helpful notes on this topic thread.. ive come to find that the 2005 class ranger trailers used some real different engineering - Tie Down hitch and break assembly's and these oil filled bearings for the wheels. Both of which appear to be a bear to service and ...

How many have read the governor's actual lock down order? If you have it’s clear that fishing or any other activity not deemed essential outside your home can land you in jail. Is that really necessary? Or is the dangerous Virus also being used for a power grab? How long can this lock down continue...

Hello Mark, Did you use Pacific Trailers in Newark to replace your hubs and spindles? And was it recently? I'm trying to get a handle on where the mechanic went when they closed a few months ago. I'd like to get some work done on my Ranger trailer. Hopefully someone on this forum has the answer. Th...

[quote="BASNFAN"]Mark, you really nailed it with your response! There is a lot of common sense in what you say but we know there are more than a few out there without that attribute. I turn 80 this year so do not have a lot of time left trying to catch my double digit bass, but as long as ...

I fished the Delta today...alone. I didn't get within 15' of another person. I didn't use the public bathroom. I didn't touch anything, except with my shoes as I climbed the stairs at Russo's. I was careful. I don't have a death wish, and I don't want anyone else to die. I am 73, and my youngest da...

Rick,
That sucks. I know how much love you put into these tourneys.

I hope this virus lets you fish the event.

Glad to see you back out there and catching fish.
Another nice video.

Good for them!

Nope that's not YUM Scent! Some of our folks formulated hand sanitizer that we're donating to local hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and other places. We're proud of them for coming up with the idea, and real excited to help folks in the Fort Smith, AR area! Hope you're safe out there.... Good for...

I would think any lake run by any city, county, or the State would have to close to protect their employees. It's only right to them and their families.

Yamamoto made a 8" and a 10" grub but it now discontinued . They also make a stretch 40 that is just like it except smaller. On e-bay there is a guy that sells 8" Yamamoto Grub in Black with a Blue tail and sometimes in other colors I use it a lot in Florida , Also if you have an ext...

At that time I lived in Westchester, next to LAX, and saw this unfold. Everyone on my street was out in front of their house, watching the swarm of helicopters, and then ducking back inside to see what was happening on TV.
It was very strange deal.

All BBT Events in April have been cancelled (being rescheduled)
Snag Proof is Aug 1 & Aug 2

Let's hope things are closer to normal by then.

mark poulson

I did that. This is what Pacific Trailer told me. Oil bath bearings weren't meant for submersion in water, they were designed for trucks. The cold water quenches the bearing's metal parts, which are hot from motoring, and makes the shrink. The cold water is pulled past the seals by the sudden drop i...

Like almost everything in life, it only takes a handful of jerks to screw it up for everyone.
The problem here is that their thoughtlessness will cost lives if they spread this virus.

That is good news!
Did you ever find out how it happened?

Hey all, I bought a 7'1" St Croix BassX casting rod and I didn't like a few things about it. It didnt have much control at the butt section so I extended the butt section, PERFECT! It was also too long for flipping so I clipped the tip 3" and put a new tip on. It feels much better in my h...

As long as people keep going out the longer this is going to last and keep people out of work and kids at home driving me crazy. I want to fish as bad as anyone but be responsible and respectful and stay home so we can get back normal life. Exactly! I am 73, so I don't have that many more spawns to...

Come on guys. We are all on here because we love to fish. But the reality is that this is a pandemic and things are about to get a lot worse.

mark poulson

The reason for the stay home order is to prevent our hospitals and healthcare system from being overwhelmed by a massive outbreak all at once. There aren't enough ventilators to handle a tsunami of acute cases, so the government is trying to spread it out to keep it manageable. Think of how many peo...

mark poulson

The last two days the video feed was so much better, at least for me. My youngest said it's because they used more band width, whatever that means.

I just hope they keep it up.
Watching Ott catch so many fish in the last hour+ was incredible.

mark poulson

Another nice video. Thanks.

mark poulson

Seriously, we are standing outdoors, with one person we will probably be fishing with anyways. Sign up on line or by text. Drop a check or cash in an envelope at the gate. Weigh in one team at a time and leave. Mail the checks to the top teams. Very simple. No reason to cancel entirely. Let's be re...
