I'm in a kickboat and fish the delta often. Mostly around Disco or Holland but have hit Middle River and Paradise as well. Used to fish around Beacon when I had a smaller tube.

Hit me up if you have any questions. I'll be in Disco tomorrow.

L Dub

What speed reel are you using? Could be a factor. I've been using a 5.8:1 and noticed that it's still too fast regardless of how slow I reel.

L Dub

Tired of fishing from my tube and looking to get out. Anyone heading up have an open backseat for Saturday or Sunday (7/16 or 7/17)? I will contribute gas money and help wipe down the boat after. Can launch at any time.

Tight lines!

Hope you found those smelly things. Get rid of them all!

L Dub

What if you purchased the app on your phone? Is there an update for that?

L Dub

Caught a couple on top last weekend. Nothing big though.

L Dub

Hey Jimmy,

Appreciate the reply but yes, I'm totally confused now!!!

Left of what?

L Dub

Hey Fellas, Haven't posted in a while. Hope you're all doing well. What's the name of the new development (looks like a smaller version of Disco) near Sandmound? Thinking about fishing there this weekend, launching an inflatable from shore. Are there any regulations I should be aware of before headi...

L Dub

Rich, Cooch or whomever is available - I'm looking to book a trip out for my buddy and I with one of you guys for some striper and LMB action this or next month. What is your earliest availability (Weekends)? For the stripers it would be great if we could get on some L. Punker action, if it's there....

L Dub

It's Moaning Cavern in Vallecito, 20 mins north of Tuttletown (the campsite we're staying at).

L Dub

I'm a tuber. If anyone's down to fish the delta, Sonoma, berryessa or any locations near SF let me know! Feel free to ask me any questions too - I may not know the answer but a closed mouth dont get fed!

Hey Guys, Heading up to New Melones in a couple weeks for a camping trip. I've never been there or to the area before. What are the lake conditions like now? The weather? What's the bite look like right now? I'm planning on hitting the caves and the zipline while I'm out there but will have my float...

L Dub

Thought about "Tubes and Rods" but that either sounds inappropriate or like it's for eye doctors.

L Dub

LOVE the idea. Name needs work.

L Dub

Heading up near Tahoe for some camping with friends this weekend. How's the fishing up there? What types of species should I expect to see? Any rules I should know about? I hear that it's C&R only, which is fine - can anyone confirm? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Tight Lines,

I hear the new reels are being made out of Malaysia now. Wonder if that's going to affect the quality?

L Dub

[quote="froteur"]l dub ------- do you even KNOW how to set a hook?

Haha Perry. Har-dee-har. Hope all is well with you and the family!

L Dub

What's going on at Berryessa lately? I'm heading up for an overnight trip tomorrow and will be staying near Putah. Any tips on what gear to bring?

L Dub

Thanks for the responses - Pretty much what I expected to hear. After years of avoiding the DS (I hate fishing light line...), I'm a new believer.

L Dub

Ewg vs gami drop/split shot hook - is there a difference when you're hook-setting? I mainly use the gami's (wacky robo) and reel-set. Do you set hook if you're t-rigged?

L Dub

Is it still available?

L Dub

+1 on anything Costa. They have varied sizes and actually had a few pairs that fit my oversized noggin (7.5 hat size).

I have yet to try the wiley x's though. But I love my Costas.

L Dub

Trying to head out on Saturday morning to fish from my tube.

Possible locations:
Sonoma - Yorty Creek
Berryessa - Putah Creek
Delta - White's?

Any suggestions?

L Dub

PM sent.

L Dub

Tried it, didn't see the special online.

L Dub

What happened to the reports page? I don't see it. Am I going blind?

L Dub

I would have backed off and waited for 15-20 mins or so, then start with long casts with a medium crank (burn it), then a jerk/ ripbait. Then move in closer with the wacky. But then again, what do I know?

L Dub

Anyone know what the water level is at Berryessa? Looking at google maps seems like the water is down about 5-10ft but if anyone could confirm that would be great.

thanks

You can sometimes find a good deal on ebay.

Anyone have a 101D for sale?

Has anyone tried the 50Es?

L Dub

Hi Guys, I'm planning an over-night trip to Berryessa next weekend with some buddies and I hoping someone could help me out a little. Which would be better to site to stay at for shore fishing? Chaparral (Putah Creek) or Lupine Shores (Steele Park)? The guys I'm going with don't get out very often a...

If it is carp, throw white bread...always fun to catch Caught a 14lber on 6lb test on a ultra light rod... Good times there. Fought for about 10 mins before it finally tired out. Only thing is those F*ers stink! Do you guys throw them back or leave them on the road? I usually give them to people bu...

L Dub

Speaking of those areas, how's the fishing by Brannan Island State Park? More specifically, the tract along W Twitchell Island Road? Looks like a good area for me and my tube but I wanted to see if anyone has done well there recently.

Thanks in advance!

Haven't been on the river in a while and looking to head out this weekend.

Anyone have a seat open Sat, Sunday or Monday? I can meet anywhere on Bethel Island or near there.

Happy to pitch in for gas and help with clean up after.

Tight lines,

LL

Steven give me a holler. Depends on the schedule but I'm down.

Cooch had a nifty contraption for raking them out. He had pics up on here but I don't have time to find it now.

Give a look at the Powell rods. For 139.99 and 169.99 depending on size, you get a light, sensitive rod. The warranty is only 40$ and is lifetime. As far as reels, you can't go wrong with Shimano - either the Curado or Citica. The Curado is my favorite reel today, and it looks great on a Powell rod...

L Dub

The first question that needs to be asked is - do you have a car/ truck/ or boat? If so, I would avoid moving into the city. Most places in SF parking is not included in rent and you're looking at around $300 a month to park a car. I do have some friends that have boats out here but they own homes a...

L Dub

If you're staying at State Park I don't think it will be too much of a problem. The wind is blowing south east so most of the muck is collecting in the areas near Rattlesnake.

L Dub

Ok... that is SICK.

L Dub

they won't get any pub out of it when he fishes on a tuesday...

I thought they pulled his license too... Does DFG do that if you get caught cheating? If they don't, does that mean he could enter tournaments involving other species?

L Dub

Just got back from a camping trip at CL. Stayed near Rattlesnake point. My suggestion: Stay on the WEST side. The water in the south is like a swamp right now. The smell is really bad, especially if you're bringing kids or SO's. It was kinda funny watching boats trying to run across the water. They ...

L Dub

Thinking about getting a Curado 200 series for my frog rod and I can't decide if I want a left or right handed reel. I'm used to using leftys for flipping and pitching and most of the time I use a righty for casting. I want the lefty so I don't have to switch hands after casting but at the same poin...

L Dub

If you let me launch off your dock I'll be more than happy to pull a few of those weeds out (after I check them for bass)

L Dub

good way to see where everyone has been fishn

That's assuming we've actually been catching fish in those locations.

L Dub

Cruiser Haven and Middle River have been packed with them up to 15lbs. You can see them thrashing around in the mats.

L Dub

Sad to hear Greg. Sorry I never had a chance to come up to CL to meet you in person.

Best of luck to you in the future.

I was looking around for possible places to tube this weekend and found this. Either Google messed up or Starbucks really is the evil empire. Drive through coffee shop on the river - now that's a GREAT idea. http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&q=middle+river+ca&...
