Markley is using the main ramp now, water is just about half way up so still some parking room on side of the ramp if you’re early enough. Good luck.

That ramp is not open. Probably will need another 4+ feet of water in the lake and readjustment of the dock sitting on the ramp before it’ll be usable. At least the electronic kiosk is still down so you won’t have to pay. Maybe they’ll fix that before reopening?

Tom(fishfafun)

Thanks Mike
Hope you got em’

Tom(fishfafun)

Does anyone know what time they open on weekends?

Thanks!

Tom(fishfafun)

Been using this one for a while now, seems to cast really good (G-funk a rigs mostly):
Genesis III Casting Rod 7'10" Bama Rig Special Hvy $150 at tackle w/h

Good luck.

Capel “Not so free ramp” was open yesterday. They had taken out all the portable toilets but one by 4pm though.

Putah, I’m not sure, but haven’t seen a boat trailer there in over a week. Too expensive anyway.

Tom(fishfafun)

Yeah.....send me your phone # and I'll try you first next time, Jeff. Either here or send me an e-mail @ fishfafun@aol.com

BTW, seat filled...see ya up there Russ.

My regular partner Ash and I had decided to fish this event to help Cooch out, this guy spends a lot of time helping us all out with helpful fishing info/advise all year and is the driving force behind what I believe is a very important event every year for our fishing youth(the Pro Teen). PLUS, it ...

Tom(fishfafun)

I guess you talked me into it......probably be there Saturday afternoon for a while then Sunday for the tourney.....See you guys then.

Tom(fishfafun)

have a place on their website for them to "hang" pictures of known cheaters, lest we all forget who these people are and what they look like. I wouldn't put it past these theives to take on new names/identities and get back into fishing (cheating) tournaments again in another part of the s...

Tom(fishfafun)

yep, that was me.....waiting for our small placement check. thanks for the info but the FPT Folsom is on the 17th....would of liked to fish the Reapers, never have been able to get that one in for some reason. Seems to always conflict with my schedule. Guess we won't see you at Folsom? If you make i...

Tom(fishfafun)

Jeff....

is the tourney this Saturday? What launch ramp, cost, any other info you can give?

Cannot get the Reapers web site to open and have no other info on the Reaper tourney this year.

Thanks for the help.

Launched in the middle of you guys on Saturday (BassCat). Knew you'd have it tough, Capell area has been very dead with the muddy water. Ran up to Putah, my nephew and I (he doesn't even own a rod and had to buy his license the night before so he could go with me and he darn near outfished me) got 1...

Tom(fishfafun)

at Pleasure Cove.....Vince runs the FPT out of there every year with 150 + boats. They park everywhere including along the road from the kiosk to the ramp and beyond in the old trailer sites that they had to get out due to BOR. Don't know about the fees though, last time at Markley on the weekend it...

Tom(fishfafun)

Besides the Ramada (stayed there a couple of times), where else can you stay with a boat with plug in that's clean and fishermen friendly? The Ramada was alright but you needed to have a downstairs front room to use the electric out of your window. Not always possible to get those rooms. Is there an...

Tom(fishfafun)

Looking for someone to put a replacement eye on a rod. The "Hook" used to have a guy doing it (Jeff) but he is not doing it now and the new guy they got out of Sac. hasn't shown up there in months (according to counter guy). If I remember right, a guy named Todd did that kind of work and h...

Tom(fishfafun)

Just hate to give away these secrets (they may change the price if too many go there for oil) but....Eagle Marine in Martinez. Just got 12 gals. of opti-oil for $25.75 a gallon. When I gave that info to the guys at Citrus, they told me that at that price, they must be selling at a loss....but it is ...

Tom(fishfafun)

BassCat has said that this boat will retail for as much as $80,000 with all the bells and whistles out here on the left coast. To get an idea of how big it is, the red boat next to it is a Puma/Cougar class (not sure which by the picture) 20'6" boat and the Jaguar makes it look like an 18 foote...

Tom(fishfafun)

John, The pleasure was all mine.....we had a good year (three checks from six tourneys). And, believe me, I learned somethings also. You did real well for a first timer. The delta is a tough place to start your tourney career. Now that you got a bass boat, you get to go out and get more and more wat...

Tom(fishfafun)

Decided to use the money to make 12 reels like new instead of buying one new Curado. Right decision! Dan got them in and out as promised (6 at a time). First set worked great (after this dummy backlashed a few times, I figured out that Dan puts all the brakes back into neutral while cleaning). As a ...

Tom(fishfafun)

FLW had no right to put any tournament organization in this position, to have to make adjustments so that their dates could stand? 100% lost Oroville earlier in the year and Bob had to wheel and deal to find OPEN permit dates and city/county funding that would work for his TOC. No one had to move ov...

Tom(fishfafun)

Dan Mathisen probably, although he didn't have a yellow boat...that yellow boat might have belonged to Tim Hendricks (BassCat sponsored) but as far as I know, not a guide. Dan might have been using it as Tim had it at Mossdale while he was trying to sell it back then.

Tom

Tom(fishfafun)

Thanks Greg.....been there before, just couldn't remember the name for sure.

Tom

Tom(fishfafun)

Need the name of the tackle shop closest to Red Bud that might carry inspection stickers....thinking about going up and launching at Red Bud Sunday and need to find out their hours of operation.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom(fishfafun)

looks like Gene needs to update his site.............

Tom(fishfafun)

Interesting that the "Hook" is sponsoring this event seeing as there is a "Hook" tournament going out of Russo's also that day(Sunday 19th)...thought the DFG permitted only one event per county per day on the delta? Something isn't right?

50' steel hull Salmon/Albacore troller (step father's boat) berthed in Sausalito and Richmond, my last year Moss Landing.....fished from 69-74, got married in 75...had to get a reel job,hehehe

That ocean was the tough life.

Tom

Tom(fishfafun)

it's all I can do to try to keep sharp for the tourneys. You miss a weekend or two and you'll be a month trying to catch up. Plus, with all this expensive equipment that's pretty much designed for one type of fishing, just can't affford another species hobby. Used to fish for a living (commercial) a...

Tom(fishfafun)

After quite a few years of commercial fishing for salmon, using hand lines and a net, I learned two things that are important to successful nettingâ€¦â€¦.. #1: Keep that net out of the water as long as you can. Fish can see that thing and they really donâ€™t like it. Besides, as stated before, it sl...

Tom(fishfafun)

Been trying to find the time to get this post in but.... First, I'd really like to take the space to give congratulations to my partner Matt Leverich on his first win....it was a good one. Matt hasn't been doing tournaments very long but this season he got a new Legend and decided he'd learned enoug...

Tom(fishfafun)

a pat on the back this weekend............These guys spent a lot of their practice time getting out of the "Hook" TOC fishermen's way. Every where we went to fish there were boats and all the FLW guys were friendly and unselfish with "their" water. Typical conversation went somet...

Tom(fishfafun)

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to post later today about how the two days went.

Thanks for the kudos guys and Rich, I sure hope you're right about the bite....gonna need those fish for the 100% on April 19th.

Hook TOC

Tom(fishfafun)

That's great.....I know Steve had been working hard at getting his website ready for this.

Believe me, BassCat is one great company to have in your corner!

Good for Western Bass & good for Mossdale Boats.

Tom

Tom(fishfafun)

Mossdale Boats has it in Lathrop...not far from you.

Been using it for years without registration of trailer. Two different boats, one single axle, one tandem. Single axle is $6.00 (3 total axles) Tandem is $7.00 (4 total axles) These show up on your statement if you watch for them........... Tom (p.s.) Seems the bureuacracy is somewhat confused about...

Tom(fishfafun)

doesn't get them, try splitshotting with 4" Magic worms (morningdawn/oxblood&blue/original green weenie), 1/0 worm hook behind a "20 to the bag" round splitshot (16" to 20" leader). Magic worms seem to float better behind a splitshot then Robos. Just throw them towards t...

Scott, Just wondering why the results aren't up for July's tourney yet? Haven't fished one of your tourney's yet, may give this one a shot though. Where do all the boats dock/tie up before blast off or during weigh-in(we might be running accross from Bethyl Is. and will need a place to tie up to sig...

Tom(fishfafun)

These get better and better every year, thanks to a tremendous amount of time and effort from Cooch and ALL of his volunteers. Believe me, fishing is the easy part. I'll be back every year as long as I can fish and when I can't, I guarantee to be there to help out any way you all need me. Great even...

Tom(fishfafun)

For sure a 10...........been in six in a row and this one was the quickest. Hardly had time to put a few rods away and look up to see my truck/trailer at the top of the ramp. I only know a couple of the guys that help out (TimB./SteveM.) and thank them every chance I get, but here's my chance to let...
