Re: NADA boat values vs fair offer?

Guys , thanks for the quick response and information. I have had old VW's so I understand old tired engines. Does anyone know the compression specs of that engine? If it does blow what kind of $$ would I be looking for a re-build? Going to have another look next week and will check the things listed...

All original down to the 1984 motor guide TM. Has been sitting for close to 2 years (covered). Carpet is bad but everything ...

Re: Where would you fish on monday?

Went to bullards on Monday, got there around 10am as I took the family. Launched at dark day and ran up a bit trying to find a sandy spot to beach the boat and let the family out to swim etc. I had no idea that lake was that DEEP!! The deepst I have ever fished before that was around 30 ft on the ri...

Re: Smart Cast?

I had the RF 35 (wrist watch model) for a while and when it did work, it was great! I did have problems with the transducer and sent it back twice for repair. Used with great results fishing for trout from my float tube. Used an old fly reel with floating line as to not have to pack 2 rods.

Re: Sore Thumb therapy?

Nu-Skin is good as it's a small mesh that you glue on your skin with a clear fingernail polish / superglue like stuff. The bad thing is it's not very flexable and does not last long if you get it wet. I just found this site http://www.wonderguards.com/ and they look perfect for what you need. Superg...

Great dog to have in the boat minus the hair which is not too bad. He never jumps out unless I tell ...

Re: off topic: anybody fish for Delta carp?

There are TONS of carp here in the rivers of Oregon and I have hooked them on both fly and chucking bait. When fly fishing for them remember they are VERY spooky, so use long leaders and learn how to lay that fly line down with no splash. I use to get lots of them on gold hare's ear nymphs and weigh...

I too have an older shotgun (winchester 1400 autoloader) that is not approved for Steel shot. Hevi shot is what I have been using and I have not noticed any scoring in the barrel. This stuff is great and hits hard!!

Possible Move to NoCal

After 11 years in Oregon and chasing smallmouth almost exclusively I may be moving to the Grass Valley area in a couple of months. Can anyone tell me about the lakes or rivers around that area? I also want to try my hand at the delta and clear lake. Thanks in advance for the help!!

Re: Yum Craw Bugs....HELP

I rig mine with a 1/4 - 3/8 teardrop tube hook with the 60 deg bend. I have rigged it like he does but it seems to get them in the bottom jaw too much. I mostly fish the rivers here in Oregon for smallies but they seem to like them. The 60deg eye seems to help them not get hung so much.
