I've broken the tips off of 2 powell rods and did the over the counter replacement at Mel Cottons. If I remember correctly it was $35. Pick out a new rod and you're on your way. No hassle and no questions asked.

My first advise would be to go somewhere else :lol: :lol: We camped there last weekend and it was one of the toughest bites I have been on. There were no striper boils and the top water bite was dead. I threw everything I had in the boat at them and could not buy a strike. My wife and buddy each pic...

I really admire him for sticking to his dream. Not many people have that much dedication and drive.

At the beginning of this year I sold off all of my right handed reels and replaced them all with lefties. It sure makes a day on the water easier. And yes, sometimes I do get the line twisted around the handle when flippin' but I'll deal with it. Twist your wrist a little so the handle points toward...

Cope & Mcpheters in San Jose is the closest I've found. If you find andthing closer please post it. They are on El Camino.

I would stay away from throwing the huds on braid or flouro. Youwant the stretch in the mono so you don't see your $35 hud go flying when you stop the line quickly. The 5.3:1 gear ratio is fine but as mentioned earlier the spool size on the 200 is too small. Take a look at the Shimano Cardiff 400/40...

We were there a few weeks ago and stayed at the Edgewater Resort in Soda Bay, someone came onto the docks in the middle of the nite and ripped off everything in one of the other families boats. They are advising people not to leave their boats in the water overnite. Pull em out and remove everything.

That story first surfaced over a year ago. There was an update to it a few months back. They whole thing was staged. They guide service that conducted the hunt farm raised that pig and staged the hunt for publicity. The father was in on it. Charges have been braught against him and his son for anima...

You need a selector switch like this one. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/80611/377%20710%201642/0/Battery%20Switches%20&%20Cable/Primary%20Search/mode%20matchallpartial/0/0?N=377%20710%201642&Ne=0&Ntt=Battery%20Switches%20&%20Cable&Ntx...

I spent a day with Richard pounds last year. He is a great guy and knows how to put you on the fish.

I have mostly powell rods and really like them. I want a rod for jigs and smaller swin baits. What do you guys recommend?

Thanks,
Dave

I always stay at the Edgewater resort in Kelseyville. They have a long lighted dock with power outlets. I leave my boat tied up and plugged in. The dock is very easy to find when making nite runs.

Is the launch ramp open at Coyote Reservoir??

I grew up fishing for trout and had never caught a bass until last year. I bought a few packs of brush hogs and some hooks and tried trowing them but no luck. Last March my wife surprised me with a trip to Clear Lake. The first day out on the water she set me up with guide Richard Pounds and man was...

Is there anything that you can spray the boat down with that will kill the mussels and not destroy the boat? Something like simple green?? I fully pressure wash my boat and dry it down after use and I have read that "Catch and Release" will kill them in a live well but what about the rest ...

Why would you have to stay off Anderson though?

This is the question that I have. If I put the boat into Anderson will I be black listed from the EBMUD lakes?

If you take your boat into a Santa Clara county lake, are you banned from the EBMUD lakes for good? Do they keep track? What is the procedure for a inspection?

Thanks
Dave

Thanks John. You had me worried when I read that.

I went out last year with Richard. He is a great guy. We fished a half day and I caught 11 fish. He really knows the lake. Here's a link to his site.

[quote="John Barron"]We have taken a different position and approach rather than "I have rights" We have also discussed the several aspects and determents of the Quagga mussel and not just to the water system. You should read some of the SCBF posts regarding this subject. The wat...

Are you allowed to get off of your boat to use the restroom during a tournament?

On another board that I belong to there is a button on the top of every post that says "report this post to a moderator" For stuff like this it is very useful. The only problem there is that some of the members take advantage of it and report each other for meaningless bs.
