Bass Fishing Forum - Westernbass.com

I'm sure you thought of it already, but check the local (from North Cty down to SD) pawn shops. I'd call them up and ask. The thieving coward will most likely stay away from CL, or ebay or online. Too many eyes. SD Fish boards, np classifieds, tackle/bait stores... Where were they stolen from? (car,...

How'd you know my name was Mac?

I'd like to offer my services Froggigginondemand.com.
Dems legs is reel tasty!

Heard from the tourney org about that fish taking deal last weekend - was overseen by the city, with state DFG guy present. Story is they took the fish to a local pond...to control a rampant bullfrog population at said pond. Also heard from Conway this morning: The bass were taken to a pond on the c...

No sweepers on DVL!

I don't think that vessel would pass the Quagga check.

In fact, while we're at it...drain it, sell the water to farms upstate. Then sell the land to developers.

I read a recent post in some other forum - mentioned a tourney at a local lake this past weekend. From what was said on the forum (I thankfully avoided that madhouse), the tourney org was keeping the weighed-in fish to transport to a remote location - to feed, then reintroduce into the lake after a ...

Great vid! This may seem like a stupid question, but where are the major organizations in support of all this? What about regional orgs/clubs/sponsors? Seems if they already have the constituency, that would be a logical starting point to build the awareness. Maybe they already do and I am completel...

P.S. - Use spellcheck before sending those letters. And capitalize species (Sample letter #2).

If we are to be taken seriously as the knuckledragging proletariat...

Here is the info from that broken link: http://calsport.org/3-31-09a.htm Sorry for the length of the post, but figured it's best to get all the info on here too. I know I am way too lazy and apathetic to worry about something I think does not affect me in any way. Probably a shared sentiment, but a ...

When the Delta pumps reverse combining a waxing gibbus moon outgoing tide, juxtaposed with torrential rains in the SJV, in concert with a cataclysmic seismic shift in the WestPac, all Western waters will be inhabited by the dreaded quagga.

How can we save ourselves?

“I told them I was sorry I threw the fish.â€

With all the respect and consideration talk over the past few, this story should keep the coals going.... :oops: :lol: Whether on shore, bridge, or cherry rig - the obvious question to me is why waste the $$ tossin a swimbait - or in this guy's case bait or dinner - when some simple lead has the sam...

http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2009/apr/05/fort-pierce-man-accused-hitting-boater-head-fish FORT PIERCE — A 39-year-old Fort Pierce man accused of hurling a fish from the North Bridge and allegedly hitting a boater on the head, faces felony and misdemeanor charges, according to an arrest affidavit fro...

Hows bout a finance section of the forum? Smitty and Delta Dan are the Gordon Gecko and Bud Fox of the bass world - Dock talk meets the country club. You guys need to start dispensing some of that insight on the regular. ...along with all those profitable waypoints.... jk. Good thread, informative a...

Seems there's a few good options to the std transom saver, personally, i've broken too many to admit, settled on a lock-n-stow, but see a few other options that will work equally as well. Just a note about the lock-n-stow type transom saver, watch out for your ground wire! I have a '98 optimax and ...

You're right, we need to organize, mobilize, prioritze, and scrutinize. I've been working on a survery to try and pass out amongst forums - not geo specific at all.

I'm on board, I'll send you what I have once its built.

You're right about the hotels and surrounding businesses, they do need to get on board. Hopefully we can compile enough info from the people responsible for providing the recreational revenue -us-, and scrunch it into the kinda numbers that hurt. A recent surf/beach issue did it - it ain't my idea. ...

This is just more rigamarole from the clueless, corrupt, non fishing bureaucracy. Time to hit them with language they understand. BOLO (be on the lookout) for a survery coming our way - we'll post it on the boards. We're gonna give these no load dip dunk bean counters the statistics and revenue numb...

The state is hemorrhaging, and politicians lie for a living. Selling water beats some pesky clam. Too bad the Northern California reticulated garnet-scrotum frog didn't fare as well as the quagga.

Running a Merc 4 blade 17p prop now on an Opti Max 150 - is there a better fit out there? Seems when backing off the throttle, we are off plane rather quickly and taking water over the transom - there is no gradual slow down off plane. Very abrupt with bow high attitude. The boat is heavy, and we ar...

Sure enough. Shift interrupt switch.
Took it to Art at Anglers, and he took care of it.

What's the deal? Heard from a Ranger up North - DVL is now on the list. DVL is the only lake the boat has been in - once, and we almost got turned around. Luckily it was over 10 days ago.

Is DVL now affected? Or on it's way??

Thanks fellas, getting it checked out asap.
Sorry about the multiple posts...itchy trigger finger!

I'll be sure to post whatever solution we come to.

Yeah - got it checked out, still alarms (continuous and intermittent) when engine trimmed all the way in/down. Tried taking off trimmed out a bit too (thinking the water outtake was submerged). Service had it on the laptop for 30 mins. But, they kept getting conflicting info as to hrs used, speeds r...

Has anyone ever experienced power loss issues/alarms on a brand new engine? Merc OM 150 - 2 stroke 18ft '07 Ranger BRAND NEW - 2nd time getting wet (with about 450lbs of fat people and gear, and a full tank of gas) Start and idle fine - problems/alarms occur when engaging throttle to get up on plane...
