"Cancelling tournaments? Uncalled for on any level. Why would anybody come back when you decide that only making 10 grand on a Pro/Am is not enough to show up for 50 guys that made the commitment to send in their entries, set up their gear and nearly have the truck loaded when you decide to pul...

Wow!! I've had some good conversations lately with Charlie. Still hard for me to believe he is out. Charlie and I had words and didn't see things the same on occasion BUT he was loyal to FLW. His kind of loyality is hard to find. I respect him for it and wish him the best. Kathy Fennel will do a go...

It wasn't that they cut us loose. It was the manner in which they cut loose every pro-staffer. Us local boys never received any notice whatsoever. Then Loomis and the regional reps wouldn't return phone calls or emails. To this day I have never received official word from ANYONE. It was a pretty cra...

The mold maker changed it just enough so it wasn't a 100% copy of the lead body. In fact its better in IMO. The reason behind the mold was "yours" doesn't come in the weights that complement the appropriate hook size. All I did was make some changes to improve the fuctionality. Flame and t...

I have a custom made aluminum mold for these inserts if your looking for one.

gunnie2

I'm on the fence about this as well. It seems most of the arguments seem to be over which has the better down scan imaging. From the pictures is seems Lowrance does the down scan better, but does HB have better side imaging? Do both units still require imaging to be shot at an idle speed with the bi...

Some guys like to add all the entry fees - options to see the real payout. The printed material doesn't always accurately depict the true payout. In other words add all the entry fees together and check the actual percentage vs. advertised percentage. MSRP on prize boats vs. actual value can further...

Are vixens part of this phasing out??

Its a swimbait mold made by Bob's Tackle Shack. Comes in various sizes. Pretty sweet little bait. Better than a Tiny T if the right person makes it.

gunnie2

I agree is everything RS said. But all pros try their hardest to keep co's- from catching fish. Now this may change in a shared weight format or "may" change if the pro is 25lbs behind on the last day, but generally speaking this is the rule. At one time or another EVERY person who has EVE...

I forgot to mention Buckboard Bay behind the marina probably has the best bedfishing in the entire lake.........

gunnie2

They will be mid-late spawn depending on the weather. Probably the best time of year to fish that pond. Pointers, rattle-baits, and the king of all Gorge baits is a white yammy grub slow rolled on a darter head over the grass. The fish are generally bigger on the WY side than the UT side. Grass w/ro...

This board used to contain real good information on the latest and greatest in bass fishing.

Now ever 3rd post is some tourney or some stupid post stating "XYZ rods, jigs, line, & pink underware now in stock". This board is now a muddy freaking mess of spammers.

Will this ever end?

gunnie2

Listen to you guys whine. Hippie has been speaking the truth for years. Won never paid back much of anything in the first place you naughtheads. The formula's were always based on the retail value of the boat and the side pots which are 100% payback. In actual cash they pay back less than 50% of the...

gunnie2

It doesn't matter if it is rods, reels, boats, or magic potions, some guys just want to be associated with a known angler. Some of ya'll would promote a dog turd if the right angler said it taste like chicken. Makes me laugh......

gunnie2

How do you know when you have arrived?? When your stuff is so good people begin to copy it...

gunnie2

Davis and Lane left because they couldn't hack the 200 boat fields and unlimited pre-fish. Elite anglers are there for nothing more than self promotion and half the competion. Which one would you fish?

gunnie2

So let me pose this question: If I drive in from out of state and pass the AG Inspection at the state line, will I need another inspection once I reach CL?? Does anyone know if the state line AG Inspectors give boat owners any documention when they inspect the watercraft??

gunnie2

I've been there many times. I still get wound up over a pro who was sitting in 155th place w/a broken big motor and I was in 17th. This was back in the day when the cut was the top 20 pros/co's. I watched him pound two 6's off beds while I had 6 ft tules on both sides of the boat and 18" of mud...

gunnie2

That is what I'm talking about Bill, 27K in the basic entry fee alone. Won paid back 20K INCLUDING option money & pats themselves on the back. Tell me how much of the 20K payout was actual option money? Since the AAA winner got $1600, I can correctly assume he was the highest paid finsher in the...

gunnie2

$27,225 in entry fees on the AAA side, EXCLUDING any option money. The winner gets $1600.00 for 1st place. He obviously didn't enter the option pots. Won claims $20,060 paid?????? So in reality how much money does Wonbass steal from the AAA anglers to finance the Pro payouts, something like 18-20K f...

The guy holding it, sure is a handsome son-of-a-gun...........hehehe

Seriously, when was the last time you seen BPS come out with an original product?? Every bait they sale is a knock off of some other bait.

gunnie2

As a Co- I've drawn Sieg, Bolivar, Kerr, MaCabee, Hawk, and guys like this who truly know how to fish. My only goal in fishing a Stren is the slight hope that I will draw one of these top pros. If you pay attention these guys can unknowly teach you a huge amount even if they don't talk all that much...

Dry Creek Custom baits is another good company out of northern Idaho. I think the owners name is Brad. I noticed the tackle shop at Russo's marina stock their tubes.

It is not spring @ Lake Mead, it is winter!!

gunnie2

So has anyone [other than the designer] caught a fish on these rods yet?? I mean come on, I'm sure they are outstanding rods, but it seems like I heard the same thing about Powell last spring. I wonder how many readers mortgaged the farm last spring for a line of Powell's. I admit, I fell for the Po...

Just got back from Lake Comedero 2 days ago. 3 days 1 - 10lb fish, and 20 or so 8's & 9's. The water is high and the fish are eating frogs and big swimbaits. Outstanding food, guides, drinks, boats, first class operation. Use Lake Comedero Lodge NOT Ron Speed adventures. It is about 1 hour furth...

gunnie2

I'm surprised there is that many co-anglers signed up. I suspect the only reason there is a 130 some odd co-anglers signed up for Shasta is a lot of them are cherry picking the event. I mean look at the schedules. At least the co-angler has a chance to catch a few fish at Shasta. Havasu isn't the be...

gunnie2

If your a co-angler just expected to get back seated from time to time. Sometimes it is intentional and sometimes the Pro just needs to cast/retrieve at a certain angle to make the fish bite. You will be able to tell the difference. The secret is not to let it get in your head, make the adjustments....

gunnie2

Should I include some swimbaits? Thanks dude.

gunnie2

I'm going to Lake Comedero the first week in Jan. Have any of you folks fished it before? I've never fished Mexico so any suggestions on tackle, bait, line, medication, or bribes for the federallies, would be appreciated.
Thanks

Lessons learned after 3 years on the co-side of the Stren Series: 1- attitude is everything so pick a good one. 2- not every pro is a real pro. 3- pay attention to what your pro is doing, but fish your strengths. 4- crankbaits can be thrown and come through the nastiest cover you have ever seen. 5- ...

gunnie2

I love the schedule for the FLW Series, but the Stren series is pretty sad. Mead in February is a joke! The lake isn't very good, but in the dead of winter is just plain stupid. I thought FLW learned their lesson at Mead in 2003 when 60% of the field blanked!! Lake Powell is a better option than Mea...

gunnie2

Dude, you have about 2K in upgrades and this doesn't include the the E-Tec which I'm sure is probably another 2K. Take the same boat w/o all the goodies and a standard EFI and you can make the 30K price range. You didn't mention any options on the trailer. If that has aluminum wheels and fiberglass ...

gunnie2

Every pro on this board has backseated his AM or Co-angler at one time or another. Don't even deny it. Some pros are a little more sly about it but you all have done it. Particularly if your CO- is stompin your butt that day. "to learn & ensure the pro doesn't cheat". Give me a break! ...

gunnie2

I too have seen a lot of various posts over the years doggin on non-boaters. But I see very few non-boaters telling their side of the miserable experiences they have encountered fishing with these "pros". While I don't reside in California I have had the opportunity to fish with many of yo...
