I fear that this post will cause some "Drama", but I can't help but pop the question: Is it remotely possible that teams could cheat in these non-accountable formats? I know it seems to be Urban legend, I have heard 55 gallon drums, feeding stations, fish snagged on lines, boats huddling u...

Dan Sexton

Don't want to be a rumor monger, but I wanted to see if there is any truth to one of the top finishers losing a fish because of the net and a non-boat stab? Just interested in the story. How many guys have had this happen? I almost knocked a frog fish off the line with the net last year in the AC Pr...

Dan Sexton

Anyone have a link for this?

Dan Sexton

How late are you taking sign-ups tomorrow? Weigh-in and take-off from Marina? What's for lunch? Who and what curcuit is providing the anglers with killer food/drinks after the tournament? Samuel has a Jazz concert tomorrow and he will not be able to attend, so I will be solo for the team. See you in...

Dan Sexton

Vince, Since you mentioned it, you struck my cord. I empathize with Phil and all the other teams that have looked forward to this event, both with time and lots of money. Running a curcuit from Texas must be a very hard feat without having the staff for any unforseen back-up for these type of situat...

Dan Sexton

Phil,

How many boats showed up this morning, approx??

Dan Sexton

Vince, I hope that you guys didn't think I was attacking the Castmaster "fund-raiser", If your event had fallen on another date, I would have been there. Since I promised my Son a full season, I was bound to the ABA on this day. I do think the anglers and Friends like yourself deserve to k...

Dan Sexton

John,
Good job! Sorry I missed the event this year. Just wanted to follow the ABA all the way through. Thanks for the follow-up.

Merry Christmas!
Dan

Dan Sexton

...You post the results "the DAY OF THE EVENT". Who else will do that?? And thank you Jamie, too (what an awesome helper). PS. I would post the winning$ with the result$. Castmasters drew 40 plus boats on Saturday, we drew 20 plus and 1st place got over $1800, 3rd was over $800. 10th got $...

Dan Sexton

....that we didn't get more support (more teams) for this event. I fished my first tournament at Pedro in 1986, it was the Miller Night team tournament. It was an honor for me to have my Son fish his 1st event here with ABA last Saturday, and it was a little chilly. In 1986, I know we had over 100 b...

Just because Super Pork is willing to sell at the right price doesn't mean that he should get the bad press from your post. Yes this is available....if you don't carry this, it is available through your distributer, Smally's or Bass Menu. If you would like a contact person, I would be happy to provi...

Dan Sexton

Steve,
What about the Tulloch/Commanche dates?? Any word on how that will play out?

Also: will there be a late fee at the lake? if so, how much?

Thanks,
Dan

Dan Sexton

A few years ago, this time of year I saw fish on my graph at 70' and started spooning a 1/2oz spoon with 10 pound Seagar line and I hooked and fought a fish for what seemed forever. My partner thought I was just kidding or I had hooked a log. So I handed him the rod when the fish went "dead-wei...

Thanks for the response. Guess I'll do my weekend fishing somewhere other than Melones. Good job and nice finish Aaron Cole and Partner (don't know his name do to result spoiling rule).

Dan Sexton

Dave,

How long does it take to get the results?

Can you at least tell us how many boats and what weight it took to win without spoiling the thunder? I'm sure Bob won't be too upset with you.

Dan

Dan Sexton

I read an article in the October issue of FLW Outdoors that stated California is to have an "artificial reef habitat" at New Melones. Apparently, this is just one of seven states to receive a Grant from the BASS Federation. When is this going to happen? What part of the Lake? And ...what i...

Dan Sexton

Not good! Did they go out as you were driving? I have replaced 4 sets of spring on a few of my boats over the years. I buy mine from Sierra Trailor in Modesto. If this is your 1st time, a suggestion: always replace both, and I like to go with 4 leafs. These boats are heavier with Gas and tackle. Goo...

Dan Sexton

Over the top Buddy, over-coming adversity with both illness and a tough bite (for big fish that is).

Impressive with a 9# each day! Your the Man and Chris too.

Dan

Dan Sexton

Date??

Dan Sexton

I really appreciate the responces!

Thanks a million guys!

I will be talking to my Father-in-law today and will get together with you all on our decision,

Thanks again,
Dan

Dan Sexton

Cool!

Thanks Sean! Missed you at the Castmaster Open!

Maybe see you at the cbaf?

My boys call him "Papa-Boat", My Father-in_law is the 1st person I fished a Tournament with in summer of 1986, Ambassadors all Night "Miller" tournament. A few years ago he was seriously injured and is now disabled from a Construction accident. He can still fish and goes once a w...

Dan Sexton

Flyman, I was there as well. Did you notice the water came up 10' in 3 days? Did you notice that the water infow on Saturday was 27, 000fpm or some crazy amount? If you had put all your eggs in the South Fork like a few of us you would have been shaking your head at that decision alone due to the Ch...

Dan Sexton

I will be there with my 8 year old son, D.J. His 1st tournament. Should be a good time and Paul Baker said that we don't want to miss the killer food after the event. I guess they put out quite a spread. $150 (fishing with family member) to $170 a team is low price at less than $90 bucks per fisherm...

Dan Sexton

Morgan, Worldmark/Trendwest is a very upstanding forward thinking resort. I really enjoy staying there, most of the rooms have excellent views of the Lake. I don't mind the launch ramp, I either launch at Library Park in Lakeport or the Lucerne ramp. The only bummer is that you have to pull your boa...

What is the link for Flw

Dan Sexton

I agree with you jigs...stick with yammy's!

Dan Sexton

Super Pork is awesome! Super is made using real pork skin bought daily/weekly. This product is manufactured in a different way than other products. This process makes the bait softer (soft as plastic, and soft enough to penetrate through the bait if fouled), better floatation (better than plastic) a...

Dan Sexton

NoCal,

I suggest a Shimano, Crucial (CRC-S711XH). The "Hook" has this in a Med/Heavy. It's one pc, 7'11" and it is priced right at $149.

I use it for Swimbaits in the "swimbait season" and buzzbaits and frogs during the "off-season".

Lots of good choices....

My Father-in-law is looking for a source for some paper for his X-16.

Anyone know a source? Cheapest?

Dan Sexton

I was fishing in Horseshoe on Saturday (yesterday) when I noticed a nickel sized, transparent organism with a white-stared body in the middle. As I looked closer I noticed over a hundred or so in my area, from below surface to 20" below and they seemed to be swimming. I thought I saw Jailer ent...

Dan Sexton

True Story: My cousin was pre-fishing for the Future Pro by himself and he had to poop something fierce. He drove to the floating bathroom accross from the Gloryhole ramp and tied his boat to the cleats. As he was concentrating on the wind and the boat occasionally bounceing agianst the deck, all of...

Dan Sexton

I learned this trick/tip from some Minnesota spinning reel guys. When a person engages (closes the bail) the reel automatically by cranking the shaft handle this will cause the line to twist 6 times compared to 1 time if you manually engage the reel (close the bail). I agree with Johnny C. Have the ...

Dan Sexton

John, I plan on being there, barring any un-forseen complications on my Dad's surgery on Friday, You all say a little prayer for him...so I can fish on Saturday.... Try: Trent Greer, Todd Hager (should be there), Jim & Bob Oliver, Steve Jones, Ron Burns for some real old timers that used to fish...

Dan Sexton

Bill, I agree 100%. Each case is just that, "case by case". I had a non-boat dig in his pocket after a draw event at Clear Lake, all he had was 2 fives and 5 ones. I knew that the guy was having a hard time, but I also believe in Jim's man-up to your responsibilities, so I took the 2 fives...

Dan Sexton

Having fished tournaments as a boater, from "Red Man" days to present. I can tell you that I would Love to draw Jim or T Milliken any day. Heres why: I work, my wife works and I get an allowance. After spending money all month at the Hook, Fishermans, and Auto Life. Getting more tackle fro...

Dan Sexton

I use the "extreme" bait casters and I like the 6:3to1 models. For the money I have been pleased with the performance over the Curados. Wait until they sale for $50 and you can buy 3 instead of 1 of your favorite Shimano Curado's with the same or like performance. Thje rods are fine for re...

Dan Sexton

Does anyone know or tried to "carry on" tackle lately? I believe last year I carried tackle (hooks, spinnerbaits, cranks; just no scissors or pliers) on the plane. Has anyone tried recently?

Dan Sexton

What won? How many boats did you have?

Dan Sexton

With over 100 boats, someone here had to stick around for the trophies. We had 7.43 and left to drive home to Modesto.

Just curious,
Dan
