Re: Clear Lake this week...9/2/2014
Spent last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning out there. Here's a quick rundown. First of all, I have spent a majority of my 3.5 years out on the Delta but love the occasional trip to Clear lake. So I don't have a ton of experience out there but love the scenery. Thursday- Hunted around for that f...

Re: ReelEx December Special....EXTENDED 4 DAYS! FINAL WEEK!
WOW! Just got my reels back from Dan and he brought the heat! They are smooth as butter. Shouldn't have waited so long to have them serviced but that would have required me to stop fishing haha. I sent him 10 reels and he had them on my doorstep 6 days later. He went way above and beyond. It's a bre...

Re: Expensive to register out-of-state boat in CA?
Watch out for so called "property taxes"on your purchcase! I'm no native of California and learned the hard way that if you own a "luxury boat" depending on your county you may be subject to a property tax. Silly state....love your weather but get it together!

Re: Fishing joy taken
Sorry to hear about your loss bud!
I'm also in the AF and stationed at Travis. I can't imagine not having a way to get out on the water. Karma's a bi&ch. I'm out on the Delta pretty much ever weekend. Always got a seat in the boat if you want to go out. Drop me a line,

Re: swimbait followers
Mac, Good point about the figure eight, but I haven't had any such luck with bass. Speaking purely musky, if a fish is following my bait the first thing I always do is add a burst of speed. More often than not, that will trigger a fish. Sometimes it just excites them more and that’s when I'll get th...

Re: 35-40 inch salmon on crankbait
Had one on this weekend too! It was to big to fit in my bass net, after she flopped out of the net I tried to hand land her...didn't work out so well and she came unpinned at the boat after a really fun battle.
