reduced, from $28,500 to $26,000.

You have to launch from the low water ramp, which is a dirt ramp. Not a big deal, but no courtesy dock and it does suck a little being in the dirt.

B Becker

Must sell, new boat is on it's way!! NADA book is listed for $34k, asking $26,000. Garage kept since day one, Yamaha 250 HPDI, warranty on motor till March 2014, new tires, new batteries (4/13), motorguide 109, two HDS 5 with GPS, lots of "fishing upgrades", tackle organizer with original ...

B Becker

Yes, Katherines is your best marina, it will be packed, so get there early and may want to get off early too. Stripers will be tough and you would probably have to bait fish for them fairly deep; not my expertise. The bass fishing should be off the hook; excellent topwater action, blades, cranks in ...

B Becker

just pop it on. You use the screwdriver to take it off

B Becker

I'm going to jump to the other side. I have a Skeeter 20i and love it, but what I hate is the space it takes up in the garage. I had the TZX 200 which is 19'6" and I loved it. Single axle trailer lets you move it where you want in the garage and it had all the storage I needed and enough length...

B Becker

I can answer some of your questions....yes, your license is good for the river, but not Mohave. Mohave doesn't touch California, so you need the AZ stamp - I think it's $3. I'm not 100% sure, but I wouldn't try to run from Bullhead to Topoc, there is some seriously shallow water, or used to be. Very...

B Becker

why in the world would you want to get rid of the best motor ever made!! This is not a pissing contest on brands, but that 7.3 L was the best motor ever made (Diesel). I have 250K on mine and have no plans of dumping it anytime soon (2000 F250). I have a 2 wheel drive, and would have never needed 4x...

B Becker

It is pretty weird that I went in to Pro Tackle on Friday (April 6th) to just say "hey" to Mike and look around, but I was really there to see how Pat was doing. He was ALWAYS there sitting on the stool talking to whoever walked in. It is not going to be the same. I am a lucky man to have ...

B Becker

Hey Rick, I was out last weekend and yes the water is up.....don't think it's 16 feet, probably closer to 10. Yes the muddy and overton are back in play. The lake looks awesome but is fishing tough. Lots of bait, including the Gizzard Shad, Talapia, and all the bluegill and bass fry. We had a club t...

B Becker

ok Dave, enough is enough!!! You have way too much time on your hands and you are a good stick. Quit rubbing these fishing trips in!!! You don't need help!! I used to like you, but now you are pissing me off

Just jealous, I know!! Have fun!!

B Becker

ppickerel, really? This isn't about boat brands. Although Champs run rough water extremely well ( I owned one), I love my Skeeter more, and I was almost killed in a Triton (bigger 21 footer). So it isn't just the boat. Just know your equipment and learn to drive it!!

B Becker

Anytime I can run the crests and troughs of the waves I will (running parallel). I live on Mead and Mohave and I have learned from the best drivers (The Barnsons!). Those guys grew up on this lake! My rule of thumb is if it is blowing out of the North, then get North (the bank will protect you), sam...

B Becker

we are up about 20 feet since November of 2010. Don't know what is going to happen with Powell and the run-off. They seem to be coming up again, and I don't know what we are going to get from them. I thought area 51 was top secret, but our water issues are just as secretive. All I know is Mead looks...

B Becker

The best motor ever made was the 7.3L power stroke (Ford). Why they ever got rid of it is beyond me!! Just IMHO, I think the Cummings is a great motor (yes, noisy - but who cares), but Dodge's trannys are crap!! (I owned one less than a year and got rid of it). I have heard nothing but good things a...

B Becker

Most scared I've been was on the Columbia River (actually the Snake). You can't tack back and forth, you have to stay in the channels, That place was crazy!! Then it goes Mead, Mohave, Clear Lake!! That thunder storm that hit the ABA championship on Mead last October was some of the biggest stuff I ...

B Becker

Hey Dan,
We have never met, but I will be there as well. I'm up at 1pm. Through the 20+ years of fishing Mead, I have always heard your name. I look forward to meeting you as well.

B Becker

any updates on this story?? crazy if this guy is still missing!!

B Becker

yes Eric, I would say that is a perfect name for that place....still a lot of fun to fish when it's on!! and Deejay, you are correct...but if you put the time in on Havasu that you put on Mohave, you would see those 20+ pound sacks regularly. I wish I had the time myself. I love that place....hell, ...

B Becker

David has it pretty much right on. Feb is the best time of the year to catch a good fish and a good bag. Hey Dave, what's up? where are you now? Deejay, love you like a brother, but Mohave is not better for quality than Havasu.....Mohave is my favorite lake because it fishes so tough, and the qualit...

B Becker

Great reel!! The RCX is pretty darn good too, and they are on sale right now for $79. They are not making or carrying the Rick Clunn line anymore, so you may want to take advantage of the clearance on those. Bass Pro's Spring Classic and sales will start Feb. 25th, so if you can wait until then, I'm...

B Becker

Wind Surfing capital of the WORLD. That is no joke!! that place gets rocking!!! 20mph is more like 40+ Only been there 3 seperate times for 4-day camping trips, blew everyday!!

B Becker

all good news!! Pat is one tuff dude!! See you soon!! Merry Christmas!!

B Becker

Only you Brian!!! You have WAY TOO MUCH time on your hands!!! But that was funny!!!

B Becker

Pat is one tuff dude!! so I know he will come through with flying colors!! Prayers and thoughts are already sent!! Thanks Vern for keeping us informed!!

B Becker

I don't know Michael Vanatta, or N2Bass? So I guess I would say yes.

B Becker

I know there are companies out there, that if you send them a sample of what you have, they can make it for you. Do any of you know who that might be. The only name that comes to my head is Netcraft. I want some some plastics made (ie. tubes, worms, swimbaits) that I can't find the color anymore, or...

B Becker

It seems like everytime there is a debate or question for rods and reels, it is a majority Shimano reel people, and then Dobyns or Powell rods. I have always used Bass Pro stuff because of my budget. So when I got sponsored by them, the transition was easy, but I have never had an issue with any of ...

B Becker

Boulder Bay is closed, and Calville is ok, but it is only two lanes and very tight. They are working on it pretty hard. But it is the only option right now. I think Hemmenway sucks, but that is me, it is very shallow and if you don't have a high truck, you may get water in the cab if you have to lau...

B Becker

Calville Bay got washed out this afternoon. http://cache.edashcms.com/img/500/0/0/0/images/general/p1SGt.jpg http://cache.edashcms.com/img/500/0/0/0/images/general/xpIjc.jpg These are pics from the top of the ramp looking down at where we weighed in!! Good thing you didn't come out Kirk!! I don't kn...

B Becker

yes it was, sorry for not being more cordial. My dad literally yelled at every pounding. It was hard to watch the waves and keep an eye on him at the same time. We had no choice! I had to keep the nose up. We really came in ok, it was no big deal to me, I have been there done that. But he hadn't. It...

B Becker

yeah, I don't know about 12-14' rollers, but I was at Echo when it hit and we couldn't get around Middle Point (I would say they were an easy 8'), so we pulled into a cove and waited. I fish with my pops (turned 71 on Friday), this was his last tourney!! He didn't do well and most of it was when we ...

B Becker

Actually NAR (Tony) it is a great name. Google "bass tackle" and his shop shows up on the first page along with Tacklewarehouse and Bass Pro Shops. Gotta think outside the box, and I think John did. And if you googled "bass tackle Havasu", John shows up on the first and second sp...

B Becker

I fish with my pops, who has a lot of physical disabilities. I never got into team tourneys to "make money". On several occassions my pops couldn't make a tourney because he couldn't move in the morning. I like the 7 fish limit, but that would totally be a waste for us. I "should"...

B Becker

, there is no way you are leaving that easy Andy!!!

B Becker

Mike, I will welcome you with open arms!! sorry you have to move to this hole, but at least we have water to fish too. I am pretty easy to reach, so if there is anything you need, just yell. And don't listen to Andy, no one really likes him :lol: That was a joke, Andy, so don't go off the deep end!!

B Becker

fishing aside, one of the best guys I know! prayers your way!!

B Becker

B Becker

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: All right Hamilton!!!! or should I say "Jackson"....that was funny. :lol: :lol: :lol: I will be watching this battle. I love Havasu and it has done me "ok" in the years, but never, ever, would I put my money against the locals. They are human, but they are...

B Becker

Ditto Mr. Dobyns... I fished the Open and never lost a fish....I had the recirc and the fresh water going on the timer (on high). They were never weak or dead, I don't think changing the water temp on these fish is good. Living in the desert and going from hot air to AC to hot air and back to AC wil...

B Becker

Ralph, I hate to burst your bubble, but shore fishing from Mead sucks!! You could get lucky and have a school of striper come by, but that is tough. If you're shore fishing then bring some anchovies and hope for a striper or cat That is the best I can do. If you get a boat, then yes, bring a topwate...

B Becker

You definitely should hear something humming. Question, do both lights (on and auto) flash when you turn it on? if it does, then push the button and hold it until it goes off. This means you have a short, or the pump quit or it stuck. The tops of these pumps are very easy to take off. The tops are t...

B Becker

new launch ramp and parking area at Calville is awesome too!! have fun guys!! four 13 pound bags last weekend for AC, needed almost 12 to take a check (8th place)

B Becker

you must be bored!!! how come I didn't get that one in my care-package??

B Becker

no question, Gamakatsu EWG #2 I replace ALL cranks with EWGs

B Becker

so, how much does this thing run??? I couldn't find the price on the website

B Becker

Ray, I sent you a PM

B Becker

Yeah, I'm a little deflated as well....I was dreaming about this tourney from the get-go. The only reason I fished the circuit was because they went back to Mohave. I lost my prop on the trolling motor as well, why I didn't have the spare in the boat was beyond me!! It was a cluster from the beginni...
