My Partner just got a Lowrance TI12 and said its by far the best and easiest graph he's ever operated (and hes kina tech illiterate)

The great thing about the TI is that it can network with the HDS Live unit. You cant go wrong with a Lowrance.

Contact Damon Witt with Bass Boat Works 916-270-4170 Let him know Ash sent you. Damon is a fabulous installer and will even detail your boat, if youd like. Best part is he is MOBILE and will come to you!

Nice fish, was this the FBT on Oroville?

ash

I would not play it when fishing extremely shallow, but otherwise I don't think it hurts. If nothing else, it will make them think you are wake boarders and no threat to them. :lol: This - and I also turn off all electronics when fishing shallow - i have had too many coincidences of catching GOOD f...

Disappointed with the build quality, just learned my 160 TF has no stringers in the hull. Result? cracked hull Can't help but wonder what corners they are cutting these days. Way to resurrect a decade-old thread... :lol: Right, i was really surprised when I saw that Cooch was replying :shock: Remin...

And this is why Lowrance came out with Ghost TM and Hummingbird Minn Kota - they dont have to he said she said they know their products interface cleanly with each other.

Russo's on Franks Tract is a great centrally located starting point and it's where the majority of delta tournaments are held. They have a few camp spots or you can find a motel/hotel in Oakley or Brentwood. Lot's of great fishing right there in the central delta from Franks to Mandeville to Mildre...

Yup those contianer ships create their own tide i have seen it drop off 3' and then gush 4' + on the infill. The in fill can create a feeding opportunity for sure - thats pretty awesome the bait fish went wild. did you hook up?

The best around for sure

ash

Wait Rippa, just so I can clearly picture this. You overshot your cast slightly up to the bank and while the bait was on the bank that joker made a dash up to the dirt to eat it? DAMN Son!

ash

Getting ready for the Delta and I always have to tie up a few JaJaJigs. When jigs are matched with that Phenix Feather Rod I can pitch and flip all day with ease and gettum pulled out of the stuff. If you're interested in custom handcrafted Jigs that are thread tied to order drop me a DM or follow m...

Agreed

I agree with the above, Black Dog Baits Lunker Punker plastic mold 6". They are no longer being produced so if you do find them you will be paying a premium.

We have a busy weekend coming up with the final events of the year in 3 regions. The Delta/ Wine Region will be in action on Saturday. The SoCal Region will also be in action next Saturday with a night tournament on Piru. Then on Sunday the Northern Region will complete their 2020 campaign on the Ca...

Cesar at 45 with a warranty remaining I am surprised they are not banging on your phone to get this well taken care of boat.

BBT Central Division wrapped up it's last tournament on Lake Nacimiento. Congratulations to Travis Woolf and Garett A Manion. They had a 5 fish limit for 15.61 yesterday to take home the win at our Coastal Region Tournament at Lake Nacimiento. Thank you to all the teams that came out and fished as w...

Thank you all for the advice!! Just to let you know, I when with Russell Marine and their Affirm Payment Program, I ended up getting the Ultrex MDI IPilot and Helix12. Both are on the way!! Thanks so much for the help and guidance!! Tight lines!! Jason Just couldn't wait :lol: Awesome man enjoy you...

ash

Brags Marine did an awesome job with my Fiberglass and gel coat repair.

ash

The last i heard is that there was "some property damage" and they had to investigate it further. My understanding was that the store and facilties remain intact. I havent seen an update in a week though so I could be wrong on this one.

Sad about Markley Cove still though

ash

The Problem as I see it of legislating tournament specific closers is where does it end? First it starts with summer, next someone gripes because now all of the orgs have events stacked in the spring and we are moving fish off of beds. Or a new governing body comes in and says its not just tournamen...

Great Video Caleb, I am always interested how other guys see the same type of water I see and this video does a great job at laying that out and your thought process as you progress through the trip. I miss seeing you and Pops at the BBT events, but I enjoy watching you progress. Congrats on PLine a...

ash

I think you want to go Ultrex first then Graphs if you have to choose. You can always band strap the lowrance to the bottom of the ultrex. You should be able to use the spot lock feature but not the ipilot features until you incorporate the graphs. There were and are quite a few Lowrance guys that h...

ash

Great video my friend, way to break down the approach and setups. That Berkley Lighting rod is a great rod for reaction baits too, like chatter baits and cranks.

ash

Big thanks to Randy and Sheri for putting on one of the best team tournaments for the working angler. I appreciate you and all of the people that make up the BBT family.

ash

I use the Fenwick World Class Rod in a 7'3 Medium Heavy in both spinning and bait casting. this is by far one of the lightest and most sensitive rod i have in my arsenal. I highly encourage you to check them out.

ash

Wow, that's a great upgrade his personal best dang near outweigh's him. That is just awesome, thank you for sharing.

ash

A wise angler once told me that you only need 3 colors on the Delta. Red, Red and..... Red. The Ima Lures Squarebill, Pinjack 200 and ISV70 in Delta Fire Craw will get a lot of action at this weekend at the BBT tournament on the California Delta. 117037955_344197726602648_1042416620076517441_n(1).jp...

Early Check in today at Clear Lake Bait and Tackle at 4:00pm

ash

you guys are amazing and this is exactly what "they" want - arguing about who is benefiting while they are still going to desimate the ecosystem. In the end non of these back and forths change that, United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

.[/quote]How durable are they?[/quote] They hold up fairly well, I mean when you're catching fish on em does it matter? I had a strong flip bite last year on clear lake caught like 30 fish skippin and flippin this trailer and I think i went through 5 baits? So yes they can and will tear but the acti...

ash

I can and will answer, they are NOT illegal :D I do not know who is making them anymore as the plastics market as well as the percieved PIA of pork pretty much tanked the businesses. I have a few special jars of superpork blue black left 8) But those are my special reserves. With that being said I c...

I would add that Markley Cove opens first followed by Pleasure Cove. Coming from Sac I almost always launch Markley unless its a tournament.

Last month the Northern Region had over 90 boats on Clear Lake over 29lbs to win with a lot of big fish weighed in, i know cause my arms are still sore from weighing em all. This was on the heals of a highly pressured WON Bass three day event. Clear Lake has been kicking out some big fish all year, ...

When I clicked on the link it downloaded a 54 meg mp4. I then had to open the down load to view it. First time that has happened. ? Always enjoy the kids fishing. Thanks for reply, I see my computer prowess is alive and well! Hi Monte, you may want to consider publishing the videos up to a private ...

ash

Great job those are some well shot videos my friend and you had some good moving current in most of those spots. That Revo Black Max is a workhorse for sure and it looks like you figured out that chatterbait pop.

Thanks for sharing your day and your setup, well done.

ash

i have been very happy with my Wiley X prescription sunglasses. They were about half of what Costa's would have cost me. I ordered mine through Coyote Point Armory.

ash

Sounds good, i have just found a punch skirt and trailer is much more effecient in the stuff then a jig but those outer points and tulle island ledges still do good. But nothing like it once was that's for sure and if your not getting bit keep on the boogie or move that grass is lookin sadder and sa...

ash

Nate, I was talking with a friend of mine who also makes jigs about that Delta jig bite. For the past two years it seems as though my jig gets bit more on that outside tulle line with good current or on the deeper tulle island ledge. If there is good current i can flip the deeper tulle points on the...

Had the Ultrex and the Ghost is far better. I've used mine for about 4 months. It is amazing how quiet it runs. Centers when bringing it back onboard without having to step on the pedal. Spot lock does not shut down by itself like the Ultrex did occasionally. The head (Top) does not spin. About 20%...

Tomorrow Saturday 1st Russo's Marine, sign ups will begin at 8am and 1st flight will blast off at 11am. Bring your favorite topwater baits, grab your buddy, son, dad or stranger and head on out to the Delta Blowup.

Word on the street is that because of the pandemic boat, fishing tackle and RV sales are way up. We must be on different streets, i am hearing through the industry that tackle sales are down and supply chain has had issues. It is great to hear and see so many more people going camping this year and...

Hey Randy, For Rods i think you will find that Abu Garcia will have you covered on a good quality spinning rod combo that wont break the bank. I think it's great that you are introducing your family to the outdoors. I think a staple for many bass would be a Berkley Power Bait General wacky rigged (h...

Gee Spot Rod and Reel Repair located inside of Sacramento Pro Tackle. Gordon has done many rod and reel repairs for me even on my custom rods. I strongly recommend him

Ron takes great care of all of his equipment, someone is going to get a smoking deal on this boat. Good Luck in selling her Ron.

Don't forget there is a Pro division and Am division for the top-water Blow Up event this weekend. This is a top-water only event, where you can choose your favorite top-water baits. All details are found on https://www.bestbasstournaments.com/

Did you try holding the thumb bar up when sliding on side plate and inserting the screws. This helps with alignment of the push rod for the thumb bar. I only have older Curados and this seems to work for me. Good info right here, i have had the same issue OP has run into when I did my bantams and i...
