I was on there the other day. Water is still very cloudy and temp is around 56 degrees. Still a very tough bite. Senkos in 25-35 feet is the only thing we could catch a few on.

Grape Ape

Very nice fish! I'm on Eastman at least once a week. It's very low and the bite has been tough actually. A few very nice fish have been caught though. The river closed today. One of the most stupidest rules I've ever seen. Close the dang river due to Eagles? Someone had their heads so far up their.....

Grape Ape

Don,
I think it's time you step up to the plate and take it over!!!

Grape Ape

I heard a rumor that it's at Don Pedro on Sat. April 30th. No flyer or official notification as of yet. They did pull a permit.

Grape Ape

I was up there a month ago....it's actually worse now....and the only boat you can launch was something similar to a Jon boat or kayak. No trailers! The only ramp usable is Barrett Cove North.

Grape Ape

I've been thinking about this incident since it happened. I have received some phone calls on how the actual mishap could of been prevented. Even though my posting of this was to alert you all about these vest, I thought I'd share what I am going to do to prevent this, and other, lines from "de...

On the issue with the steering actuator hydraulic line.....I, nor my mechanics, have no idea how that nut backed off. No previous leaking and no gradual loss of steering. You'd think there would be oil sprayed all over the place.........nothing. I also discovered someone else who this happened to ab...

Grape Ape

I was on very familiar water and a gorgeous flat lake (Don Pedro to be exact). I was in my 2012 Ranger Z521 w/250 Merc. Was doing exactly 71.5 MPH and in the middle of a bay when without notice and in less than a second I lost control of the boat and was thrown out of it. After I swam back to it and...

Here is the Mustang MD3184 "inflatable" PFD. I have been wearing for about 7 years now. I was wearing this when I was ejected from my boat at over 70 MPH. If I would of been knock unconscious....I may have drown. The rear strapping and right side of the vest was drug over my head from the ...

Grape Ape

Funny you should ask that. I was wondering the same thing myself. I have been checking every gas pump I've gone to for awhile now. I have yet to find any decal on the pumps indicating the percentage of ethanol in their fuel. I thought it was required by law?

Grape Ape

NoCal, I tend to agree with you....to some degree. The only thought that I have is....the fuel that is going into that Mercury is not a Mercury product.

Grape Ape

I just read many reviews and research articles on the Star Tron. I ordered some and will try it. Thanks.

Grape Ape

With this crappy low grade ethanol fuel we have here in Calif. and knowing the harm it does to outboard motors....what are some of the things to avoid internal damage? On my 2008 Mercury Pro XS I always added additional "Pro Plus" oil directly to my fuel every fill up. I'm running a 2012 n...

Heads up! The Badge Packers Tourney has been canceled for this Sunday, Apr 19th. It has been rescheduled to Sunday, May 31st. This was confirmed through both tourney directors James Sanchez and Keth Rakoncza. Flyers should hit your mailboxes today or tomorrow.

Grape Ape

Yep, my mistake. It's on Sunday the 19th. Sorry

Grape Ape

Just received the flyer today! Badge Packers is on Sunday April 19th @ Don Pedro.

Grape Ape

I'm guessing not. We usually have the info way before this.

Grape Ape

Looking forward to it! Sure hope these lakes come up soon!

Grape Ape

McClure is still dropping! Unbelievable.

Grape Ape

I was told recently that the lake was closed. Haven't heard any confirmation though. Just trying to save you a trip.

Grape Ape

Not sure why you would attack the TD? If you're going to go after anyone....go after the anglers! It's their responsibility to keep those fish alive and not release a dead one. Like others have said already....some of these fish are released and die off later. What can you do about that? There are a...

Grape Ape

You're welcome George. Bob send me a pm with your email address. I would be glad to send them to you.

Grape Ape

George.....email sent

Grape Ape

George,
I have a bunch of photo's. It would take numerous emails to send them all. Any area in particular you want?

Grape Ape

I have many more of both these lakes if there's a particular area you want me to post....I may have it.

Not able to make the first one due to other commitments.

McClure has been closed for almost a month now. I flew over the lake yesterday. Very low. I was told that if you had a small 12' boat you could launch, but at your own risk (go figure).

Grape Ape

I just talked with Robert and he said the Dec. date is Saturday Dec. 13th.

Grape Ape

You have the Dec. date wrong, I believe.

Grape Ape

Well I finally was able to get through to a Ranger up there on the phone. He told me Barrett's Cove North ramp was still open for approximately two more weeks. Then all the ramps will be closed. So I hooked up my boat and went up there. The ramp goes way down, go figure, and is single lane. It would...

Grape Ape

Well they must of just posted this on their website:

The Barrett Cove and McClure Point marinas are currently closed due to the drought.

Grape Ape

Well, I just heard that McClure maybe closed, as of Sept 27th, to most boats. The only boats that maybe able to launch are small aluminum boats. This is not good.

Grape Ape

We will be there!

Grape Ape

Has anyone been to or has heard of McClures status? Last I heard was the lake was below 12% and all the ramps are closed except Barrett Cove North (Marina). The last time I was there a month or so ago, that ramp was under repair and it didn't look like there was a "turnaround" near the end...

Grape Ape

It's at Don Pedro on Saturday, Oct. 18th. Sign-ups at Fleming starting at 5:30 am. $65 per team.
