Nice ad, Jason.

I have always received a 1099 from every organization I've ever fished. Now, if a local team director isn't giving accurate information to the tournament organization, I could see how that might be a problem. The only team tournaments I've fished in the past 15 years have been ABA so my tax records ...

I'm in. Anglers need to be supporting Lucas oil. This could be the beginning of something big for the west coast.

And don't forget their team tournament on Lake Pleasant Apr 14-15. $385 all in, a Z118 150 Pro Xs package to first place, PLUS the normal cash payback of an ABA team tournament.

Lucas Oil in association with American Bass, Cabela's, Ranger Boats and Evinrude is putting on a team tournament at Lake Pleasant on April 2-3, 2011. Basic entry fee is $180, with options $300 all in. First prize is a fully rigged 2011 Ranger Z118 powered by an Evinrude 150 Etec equipped with two Lo...

What, you don't love me anymore?

Call me.

When I spoke with Chris Hoover last week, he was afraid this would happen. We had a waiting list for coanglers late in the week, so coanglers quit signing up thinking they would not get in. Now, we have a waiting list for pros. Any coanglers that want to fish can still get in and FLW is taking sign-...

Rumor has it that Roosevelt is close to filling, so if you want to fish them all and earn a berth to the Evertstart Championship on Kentucky Lake in October, you better get in ASAP.

Gary - I hope you come down and bring your entourage with you!

See you all at Shasta.

In case you haven't heard, Cabela's has joined with American Bass as a national sponsor. ABA team tournaments in the Central Arizona, Pleasant Summer Nights, So Cal, Diamond Valley and Washington West regions are also now part of the Angler Cash program. The highest finishing enrolled angler in each...

What things did Minn Kota give you to try?

Looking forward to seeing everyone again. I hope guys will support FLW. It ain't what it once was, but it's the best we have currently.

As ASD posted, Gemini is good. Also www.powertexgroup.com. You can expect to pay $85 - $125 depending on design and how many you buy at one time.

+2 Rick. Bret Hite fished the tour last year without Dunkin Donuts and made a living. John Murray fishes the Elites on his own dime because he knows he's coming home with somebody else's cheese. Clifford Pirch will join Bret and John this year fishing on his own dime. These guys and many others like...

I've been involved in this sport since 1972, so I've seen it grow from $75 entry fees and a few plaques handed out at the ramp to a nationally televised, big money sport. so I feel qualified to jump in. It's just as far from Roosevelt to Shasta as it is from Shasta to Roosevelt. I was disappointed I...

I'm going up Saturday morning. I should be going through San Bernardino around 8AM. If it's not too big and not contraband and you want to meet me at an offramp, I can do it. I'm staying at Riverpoint off March Lane at the Delta. Get me your cell number and we can work out the details.

Who would cheat? Obviously a guy that thinks he can't compete on a level field. He still has to be able to go out and catch a bag to fill the cage. If he can't catch but 3LBS at Pyramind during the tournament, he probably isn't going to catch much better than that to load his cage. Hopefully a cheat...

Hippie I don't know who you spoke with at AZGFD, but you need the Arizona-Colorado River Special Use Permit. "This permit must be pasted on back of any valid STATE OF ARIZONA fishing license being used to fish from the Nevada shore or any floating device on waters of Lake Mead, Lake Mohave or o...

You need the Colorado River Special Use Permit AZ Licensees. If you ask a G&F person for a Nevada stamp they can't put 2&2 together. It's on the online purchase page if you look for it.

To the money point, the FLW Series has an option pool for those that want a chance at a bigger check. Internet anglers = all talk and no walk. I'll see the real anglers at Mead. I look forward to seeing guys like Clayton and Ricky every chance I get.

Our pro staff will be on hand from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Jan 2. Come in, get a picture and an autograpgh or just get some one-on-one time with some of the best anglers in the country that just happen to live out west. We will be pleased to host Danny DeVries, Brett Hite, Tim Klinger, Clay Lippincot...

I'm the Powersports Manager at Cabela's in Glendale, AZ. You still in Henderson?

For those of us fishing FLW Series and Tour events, as well as some local circuits, Cabela's has a new contingency program starting Jan 1, 2010. No purchase is necessary and the rules and sign up can be found at the following link: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/community/aboutus/events...

I had to jump through a bunch of hoops, but if all goes as planned, I'll be at all four. It will be nice to see some of my old friends and meet some new.

If you're considering a new aluminum boat, you need to see your local Stratos dealer. The 176XT is the same price as a Tracker Pro Team 175, but it's a fiberglass boat. No need to put up with the negatives of aluminum for the sake of price. I've sold both Tracker and Stratos brands, have driven and ...

Tony

I ran one on my Stratos this past year with zero problems. Seems like a great plate.

The rumors I heard, and I repeat rumors, they will be offering only 200 & 250 HP in 2010. Anyone hear anything different?

I'm sure everyone got the same e-mail I did asking which lakes and what months to schedule for the NG events. That leaves one of two conclusions. Either FLW Outdoors has not set the schedule for 2010 or they want to make everyone feel like they're involved and their input is important after the fact...

You guys all talk a big game when it comes to "from my cold dead hands", but there may be a time in the not too distant future when you may be called to task. I hope you'll be there if that day should come.

The slot on Roosevelt is 13-16 inches. You can weigh one slot fish. If you want fish under 16 inches, you won't be cashing a check. I live 25 minutes from Lake Pleasant and drive right by it on my way to Roosevelt. I'd rather catch 50-60 fish a day trying to break 15lbs than hope for 5 bites to get ...

Roosevelt is a good lake to fish any time of year and a great lake at certain times of the year. It's a lot like Shasta in the terms of numbers of fish caught and limits weighed, but they're almost all largemouth with just a few smallies and no spots. The lake reached nearly full pool this year for ...

Bob My 2 cents. You should repower with whatever brand you have on there now. As others have said, whatever you buy will do the job as long as it gets proper maintenance. By staying with the same brand, you can avoid the cost of a key harness, control box and gauges. I think the Mercury Verado is a ...

+1 on Ricky being a stand-up guy. I'm sure Larry is now aware of his suggestions. Glad to see Larry back in the game. I enjoyed his pro-am concept when he came out with it the first time. Hard to believe that was 20+ years ago. Come back out to AZ and I may even dust off the rods. You know Roosevelt...
