First off, Hutch gives us tournament directors some freedom to run the trails the way we want to. The choice not to use weigh slips was MY decision and not a decision made by all of Anglers Choice. I decided not to use weigh slips for two reasons. At the end of the first two tournaments I found that...

Thanks to the 36 teams that came out and fished in some weather that was not as great as the begining of the week. As usual a ton of fish were caught including a 9.37 lb toad brought to the scales by Kyle and Bud Porter. They also took the overall win with a five fish limit of 25.96 lbs. 522 lbs of ...

Count me in Roger. That was the best time I had on the water last year. How do we sign up? I will bring it up to my club and should be able to get some boats.

One item I forgot to add was please don't block the gas pumps or the front of the store if you show up for the pre-registration at Berryessa Sporting Goods.

Looks like were going to have some great weather this weekend. See you all out on the water.

Great job Chuck and Bob. It looks like you guys are buying everyone dinner this Thursday at the meeting!!! Congrats from the GBM!!!

LawDog

Yeah, the water comes from the delta so whatever the delta has its in San Luis. The stripers population is huge though which I think holds the bass population down. Plus it gets really windy which keeps a lot of people off the big lake.

LawDog

Thanks for the input everyone. I think you all are right it is a Sacramento Pearch. I guess Dad can check that one off the list!!

LawDog

I went out to San Luis today with my Dad to try to get into some stipers. Well the striper bite was slow but my Dad caught this on a Fluke. I think it's a crappie but I have never seen one with markings like that. Its mouth was not paper thin and it did have teeth. To me it looked like a cross betwe...

Great job Tunaman, I could not have said it better myself. It was great to finally get to meet some of you nutcases that I have only had the privilege to read your threads. I was great to find out you're all a great group of people. I felt very rewarded and humbled at the same time last night when I...

Go to del-mart.com and join there forum. He makes a ton of molds and sells all of the equipment you need to pour any bait. His customer service is second to none and his molds are the best. Once you get a mold if you call him he will walk you through the process.

LawDog

Ok...I've heard about this nutcase derby for a while and I think I'll be able to get there this year. Can some one finalize a launch ramp, launch time and format. I really think the $10 or $20 or whatever you want to give donation to a charity would be great. I know Jerry is on the forum every day, ...

I have a 2006 Champion 187. It has two pumps, one for the aerator which puts out bubbles into the live well and one that fills the wells. They both went out recently and I wanted to know if anyone has found any pumps better that the "Rule" brand. The pumps are called "Rule High Flow A...

Well Rouge I donâ€™t know how much you know about the "law" but 664 PC is not a chargeable offense...itâ€™s the definition of an attempted crime. And your right 182 PC is conspiring to commit a crime....but....in order to have a conspiracy you have to have more than one person committing t...

Great job Nick. I'm glad you and your Dad joined the club. It's great to see a young man with with a passion for fishing like you do. By the way, we forgot to tell you, there is a tradition with our club that we forgot to tell you. Who ever wins big fish get their head shaved at the next meeting. Il...

LawDog

Meadbass, I was a marine mechanic for several years a long time ago when the VRO system first came out. What I think you need to do is go to a dealer and ask them for a fuel pump without the VRO option. If i can remember correctly you can replace the VRO with a normal fuel pump and then run pre mix ...

LawDog

I really wish I could have made this meeting but work has to come first. The first thing I thought of when I read the original post was the it would be nice to have seperate laws for small club tournaments. I'm a part of a small club with no more than 10 boats per tourny. First off its a race agains...

LawDog

I had an problem with my trolling motor and brought it to Jim. Had me in and out in less than 30 minutes. I personally would not try to take it apart because of the small parts and getting the brushes set back in place can be hard. Its gonna be cheaper to have him do it once than doing it yourself 3...

LawDog

You can also check out the Gilroy Bassmasters. We are a club just south of San Jose and place a big emphasis on teaching. We meet the fist thursday of every month and hold one tournament a month anywhere from the Delta to Clear Lake to local lakes. The dues are cheap so your not going to make a lot ...

Zak, give me a call when you get a chance. I got the same unit and my mapping works good.

Scott Povio

LawDog

Max, I sent you a PM....

LawDog

Zak, If your in San Jose you can either goto Cope and McPhetres in Santa Clara or Central Valley Marine in Campbell. You might want to call them first tho.

The "North" Redding Motel 6. It is very clean and only 39 bucks a night. Its the most popular spot so call early. I stayed there for the FLW and I was great.

LawDog

I hope it is not a mistake but the Versus channel is back on. If you have Direct TV check it out, channel 603. I can finally watch FLW on the TV and not on my laptop.

LawDog

Take a look at Cabelas. There are selling them as packages. It looked like a pretty good deal to me.

LawDog

Just another angle to look at. I fish with the Gilroy Bassmasters, a small club south of San Jose. We sponsor the San Jose State team. We cant give them a ton of money but a lot of the club members donate them equipment and take them out fishing. I'm sure there a plenty of clubs in the north of the ...

LawDog

Unfortunatly the only place I know is Phil's. I personally would not send any prop to anyone but Phils. I've seen some amazing work done by them and there always fast. Sorry I could'nt be more help.

LawDog

I agree with you, and wanted to say thanks again for the friendly conversation and great customer service last week during the FLW event. That was my fist time in your shop and will not drive past it in the future.

LawDog

John, I have an 06 Champion 187 with a single axle swing away tounge. I dont think its the same as yours but just want to be sure before taking it up to Shasta. I cant really tell in the pics but it looks like your tounge comes completely off the trailer. Let me know if I'm correct. I checked the ot...

LawDog

I agree with KB. It sounds more like your set up is wrong. The prop would have to be completely out of the ball park to loose 1000 rpms. The motor is not set high enough or the trim is wrong. Dont over look the obvious too, make sure your throttle is going to wide open.

Scott Povio

LawDog

RJ, I completely understand what you are saying and it's pretty much the same thing I'm saying. It doesnt really matter why there is more Co's than Pro's, but there is. I think its not that hard to even out the field in the begining by signing up in pairs. Your either both in or both on the list. Th...

LawDog

RJ, I understand your thoughts but you will still get a higher number of Co's than Pro's just because of the price difference. There is a lot more people that will put down $350 than $2,000. The thing I dont understand is that if you make everyone sign up with someone you will always have an even fi...

LawDog

I honestly would not fog the motor unless you are going to store it again for a long time. You can run some addative through the carbs if it makes you feel better. I think Mercury makes a ring cleaning product thats pretty good. Just make sure your shift rod is in the proper postion before you start...

LawDog

Well Vince theres two reasons why I'm not looking for another co, and there both gonna seem pretty selfish on my half. First off, I'm a former cop and do not trust anyone I dont personally know. Its a bad trait to have but I am who I am. Secondly, I now have to pay for all the gas and now have to pa...

LawDog

Ok...just got off the phone with the TD from FLW. My co-angler has gone from 15th on the waiting list to 25th on the list. WTF??? And they wont give me my entry fee back. Is FLW all about the money??? Or do they really care about thier anglers/consumers???

LawDog

Thank you all for the advice and support. It sounds like we are not the only people in this situation. Vince, I am not trying to bash FLW. I know there isnt anyone out there in this industry that would try to screw a customer on purpose. It is just the fact that there is only 11 days until we are le...

LawDog

So this is the first tournament I have fished with FLW but have fished numerous over the last twenty something years with other organiziations. I decided this year is going to be the year I fish as a Pro. I dont have any sponsors. I'm paying for everything out of my pocket and yes, I'm currently un-...

jack morris wrote:Tunaman,the regs you quote say in the mouth, why are people not understanding this . It seems pretty darn clear to me. If the fish is not hooked in the mouth throw it back. Jack

Yeah but it said the mouth....NOT INSIDE THE MOUTH....two comletely different situations.

LawDog

OK...I know everyone is fired up about this issue but...IT DOES NOT SAY ON THE REGS THAT THE FISH HAS TO BE HOOKED INSIDE THE MOUTH...only that it has to strike the bait with its mouth...thats a huge gray line. I'm a former law enforcement officer and that is not a clean cut defenition. I'm sorry...

I got another question. What do you do when the fish's air bladder come out of the mouth? I caught a fish in 40+ feet and did'nt feel like I horsed it up but the bladder came out. I fizzed him and put him in the livewell. The fish survived the day and swam away when I released him but the bladder wa...

LawDog

Thats a great idea offduty but I dont think it works very well during a tournament. I use the needle and go through the mouth. You put the needle right in between the crushers and push. Its much easier than going through the side in my opinion. You can get the needles at any tackle shop. I was at Co...
