This is something I’ve been bitching about for a while now. There’s too many wanna be pros out there. Catching fish in 30 to 60 feet of water or more and keeping them in their life well for pictures at the end of the day. No reason to do this other than to say look what I got! As for the tournaments...

machadobass

I see that FPT is scheduled to have a tournament on New Melones 2/13/21. Call me crazy, but I thought they weren’t giving any permits out there this year. Maybe I’m wrong. Anyone know for sure?

machadobass

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

machadobass

Thanks for the offer JB! Who knows, I might just knock on your door.

machadobass

I am aware of boatmasters. They are booked out 2 1/2 months or more.

machadobass

Electronics installation OK guys, I just ordered a Garmin unit with pan optics. I realize the installation is going to be over my head. I’m looking for someone to install that knows what they’re doing. I’m in Livermore but will travel a bit. Thank you.

machadobass

You asked for feedback or comments so I would suggest you not bounce these fish onto the carpet. Especially in the summer. People don’t understand the damage they do to the slime coat.

machadobass

Seriously! Most of these Orgs. have never had a full field in their existence. Seems like every lake, every weekend, has 1 or more tournaments on it. Up north anyway. It would be nice to see fewer numbers of tournaments but with much larger fields. Just my two cents.

machadobass

I think it’s great news!

machadobass

He spent the whole night out there and has no idea when it got into the boat. Funny part was I warned him about that crap the day before. He’s not too happy but at least he didn’t get bit.

machadobass

Sorry I forgot the attachment.

machadobass

A buddy of mine fished all night and look what he found when he pulled out at eight in the morning! Funny part was I warned him about that the day before.

machadobass

I concur!

machadobass

Yes they are!

machadobass

Melones still getting hammered! Sirius Lee, give it a break.

machadobass

Melones still getting pounded! Serious people, give this Lake a break.

machadobass

Absolutely agree to what you’re saying about the water levels!

machadobass

Thank you Patriot One. Seems like we got off my original post. I wish everyone could fish and We had 100 more lakes to fish. We don’t. Hopefully we can take care of what we do have.

machadobass

With all the extreme pressure on this Lake this year, what do you all think the adverse results will be. I fished this late for many many years and it’s had its ups and downs. The one thing it hasn’t had is this extreme amount of fishing pressure. With the Spawn starting I’m concerned it will get ra...

machadobass

Agreed!

machadobass

I’m glad MLF gets it! Maybe they will help educate people.

machadobass

Nice video but I had to stop watching. For the life of me, I can’t see why you guys are bouncing these fish onto the carpet especially in the summer. Maybe people don’t realize the damage to the fish. I just don’t get it.

machadobass

Hey everyone a little heads up. I just had my camper broken into at Tuttletown ramp. If anybody was up there and saw anything Please let me know. Low life suckers took my clothes bag and that was it. Not to mention it broke the glass out of the door and cut the screen door open

machadobass

Wow! That’s a beautiful rig. I bet it won’t last long.I wish I had it.

machadobass

Good to see you out there buddy! Putting the work in with unfavorable conditions. Wish you well and your guide service. Go get em!

machadobass

For the life of me I can’t understand why some guys bounce these fish onto a hot carpet! Most of these guys have been around long enough to know better. Unbelievable !

machadobass

I wish you both the best of luck in the future. I will definitely miss you guys.

machadobass

I don't see where I said anything negative or positive for that matter. But, to be negative I will add that it seems our better fisheries are getting hammered with Tournaments. The summer tournaments in my opinion are very stressful to the fish. Back when I fished tournaments we had fewer derbys but...

machadobass

Do we really need a new tournament series in Northern California?

machadobass

These are great reels and this is a great price

machadobass

machadobass

Agreed!

machadobass

What really got me going was the where and when. The wind was blowing hard from the NW. They were dumping pellets at Buckingham Point. The pellets were blowing into 30' of water and the current would naturally push them into the o- biss. For the life of me I don't know what they were trying to accom...

machadobass

For those who believe they are not spreading pellets at Clearlake, you are wrong!

machadobass

I'm not talking about swinging fish into the boat. I am talking about bouncing them out of the water into the bottom of the boat. Like I said if you're not fishing tournaments there is absolutely no reason to do it that way. Boat carpeting is very hard on fish. I generally don't even have a net in t...

machadobass

Just got through watching a video that was on this site. I really have a problem with people bouncing bass on hot carpets especially when just fun fishing. There is absolutely no reason for this. They make nets that are fish friendly now. It may look cool to bounce these fish but you are doing major...

machadobass

Thank you Edd. That's how we roll.

machadobass

OK, here's what we found at the dealer. Triton factory ran 2 ethernet cables between the two units. Only one cable is needed for only two units. Removed one of the cables and both units seem to be working fine now.

machadobass

Edd, they are both gen3 hds. Brand new installed at Triton factory

machadobass

Ed I wasn't so lucky on my units. When I went to data overlay and touched it it beeped but didn't go anywhere. No menu popped up. This thing definitely has some issues. I'll keep At it

machadobass

Well, much to my disappointment the units stopped working together. Back to square 1. On my old 332 I could go to status and get a reading of voltage. Call me crazy but I can't find a voltage gauge anywhere on this unit. I'm getting a serious headache from all this. Chime in if you can. Thanks

machadobass

Thank you for your help. I will get to it when I can. Will post progress.

machadobass

I have ridden, driven, fished out of this boat many times.It is a solid boat and pretty damn fast. When I was selling my triton last month a lot of my calls were guys wanting bass cats. Well, here is a basscat for you guys. Give fish racing a call. He is a good dude and will work with you I'm sure

machadobass

Not sure about doing what you said but I did take the front graph and unplugged one of the ethernet plugs. After I did that both units went on. I plugged it back in and then both units froze. I unplugged it and it worked again. Definitely don't know what I'm doing but I do know it isn't right. Hopef...

machadobass

This is probably for Ken Sauret.I have a brand-new set of HDS nine's that came with a new TRX 20 patriot. Console graph works fine by itself but if you turn on the bow graph it will not turn on. It goes to the screen HDS nine with the blue background and blinks a few times and then the console graph...

machadobass

Boat is SOLD! Thanks Westernbass
