Thanks for the feed back. Rod, not sure why I was thinking it was 300. For $100 it's probably worth getting for the other capabilities

I just installed a new Ghost on my boat. I haven't even got it wet yet. I often fish alone. I was looking at the remote for the ghost and was wondering if it might be helpful for launch and recovery of the boat at the ramp. The docks at the ramps on my lakes are very small. I was thinking of instead...

I read the article. I have mixed feelings. Without a doubt, Pro/am tournaments breed the next generation of Pros. I am sure that they will not go away at the regional levels. Shared weight vs solo weight. I think there is room for both. Shared weight first, step up to solo. I've done both. At the hi...

Try Naciamento, near Paso Robles. No shortage of spots in that lake. They have lodging on the lake to make it easy. http://www.nacimientoresort.com/ The resort is the only public launch on the lake.

If you want size over numbers, try Pine Flat.

Enjoy

There are campgrounds in Clearlake Oaks also, but not as nice as State Park.

The state park is nice, but I don't remember hook ups. The CL web site doesn't show them either. Still a nice place.

Are you trying to run both units at the same time?

Don't.

Maybe WON will come back next year with a stand alone Pro-am weight format!!!!

Sorry, just hoping out loud. I'd like to have an option other than the Ranger owners series (FLW).

I checked the DFG website before going over this weekend and it showed two clubs. I can't rememember which ones and the DFG website doesn't allow you to look at past dates. One of the clubs appeared to still be there on Sunday. There were way to many ski/wakeboarders out there for me. Bring the rain!

Gambler, I just hope you got that boat fixed.

fishinfool145

I'm going to make my first trip to Pine Flat this weekend. What is the water level and launch conditions? Any tips for the fishing?

Thx

Does anyone know when the Stren series regestrations start?

It would nice to have another "non shared" weight weekend series like a WON or AC. Sorry, just had to make that pitch. Maybe someone will catch on and get one going. For now, I'll have to fish the Stren.

fishinfool145

It is like having an ADT security sign in front of your house. If they really want into your boat/house, they can, but the house next to yours is easier. The locker bar isn't easy to get around. If someone does decide that they want what you have, it won't stop them, but it make it a little easier a...

It would be nice to have a two day NON shared weight format other than Everstart. Many can't afford to take a week off for every tournement. Non shared weight takes at least some of the luck out of the draw. How about it West Coast Bass! There always seems to be a waiting list to get into what few N...

Russo has about 5 sites with full hook ups (water, electric and sewer) and about a dozon sites with just water and electric.

As mentioned, Sugar Barge is a real nice CG. They have about 8 boat slips for rent as well.

Haven't these mussels been found in some eastern lakes?

How are they handling it??

We need to make a list of lakes that are open on Christmas day.

DVL and Pyramid are closed. So far the only lake I know as being open is Naciamento and Isabella

Casitas or Castaic??

fishinfool145

Thanks for letting us know. I was looking forward to fish DVL on Christmas.

Only in California!

Experienced Co-angler looking for pre-fish opportunity for California Delta and Clear Lake. I don't want to haul my new boat along just to leave it sitting in the parking lot, un-attended, for three days during the tournement. More importantly, I'd like to learn the finer points of pre-fishing with ...

I'm working on installing a security camera system in my truck to watch the boat and trailer and record everything. I wanted to catch the butt holes that always seem to run into my trailer in the parking lot, but I'll use it to watch over my stuff to. I'm tired of people like this.

fishinfool145

Thanks every one for the great feed back. It sounds like the diving gel/toothpast is may be the best option. I talked to Save Face. Nice folks but since mask is about a year and half old I'm on my own. Living in S. Ca. I don't get to test it on too many cold mornings. When it fogged the first time I...

fishinfool145

I've tried two different lenses and still my Save Phace fogs up in the cold.

Is there a trick to not having it fog up? I was going to put some rainX on the lens but I know the lense has a coating already and don't want to mess the coating up with the RainX.

Thoughts please.

I got lucky enough to get into both the Delta and Clear Lake events. Can't wait.

It would be great if I could bum a prefish ride so I don't have to drag my boat along.

Don't upgrade the x-17 if you use the Navionics maps. The maps won't display. I had to have Lowrance mail me the previous version to reload. Lowrance promises a fix soon.

The last time I was there, I was told that the docks behind the resort are for day use only. They recomended a marina about a half mile down the road. The marina rates were reasonable and they had power but I didn't feel secure, so I unloaded all of my rods and electronics every day. As it turned ou...

While the internal antenna is more convienent and in many installations it will work just fine, if you do end up with problems from interference, signal blockage etc, you will have pretty close to zero options to fix them. The seperate antenna allows more flexability. Not knowing your actual install...

We have two thing going for us that help it work out. First, we have individual weights, so it doesn't matter how many folks are in the boat. Like Greg, we have the flexability to invite prospective members as well. That sometimes helps. When we do end up with an extra non-boater, we put the extra g...

What are the odds of the closure being extended past noon Friday? I was planning on leaving S. cal on Thursday for a weekend of Delta fishing. Maybe I need to go to Pedro or clear lake.

Go to the lowrance site and download the simulators for the LCX-17 and the LCX-25. The two units are identicle in everyway except the 25 is color and more expensive. Play back the sonar files playing with the different color options. I think you will conclude that the color is the way to go, if you ...

Does anyone in the LA area sell bulk Merc. oil, premium plus or opti, at a good price??

Thanks

I mis-quoted the RC ratings. I went to the web site listed in MCspins post. The larger red top battery has an RC of 104 and MCA of 980. The small red top is 90/870. By comparison, the blue top is also 104/980, but a few bucks more than the equivilant red. See what your local store can do. When I bou...

fishinfool145

Just buy the regular red top. The blue top is their "marine" batery and just like everything else for a boat, it costs more. I've been running the red top in my boats for years. When ever the batter in the truck dies, I yank the battery out of the boat, install it in the truck, then buy a ...

Mark. Any thoughts on making the pro-am a Non-shared weight format? With BASS gone, the only remaining option is the FLW Ranger owner tournements. I don't have a Ranger, and I can't take an entire week off to go fish. I would love to see it.

An internal antenna will work fine through the bimini top. I use a Lowrance ifinder in my old Ford Bronco with the bimini top. It works fine, even thought their is a large roll cage and window frame near. Borrow a hand held unit to test it if you want verify it for yourself.

Is the spray on better than the wash in, or visa versa?

Mike, if you can use a soldering iron, you can do it yourself. The battery is simply a regular 9v household battery. The power wires are soldered to the top of the battery. When you pull the unit apart, you will see that the electronics are seeled against moisture, but battery is simply wrapped in h...
