Thanks for the reply, I actually ended up getting a new benelli nova and am shooting steel shot now because I like shooting a shell for under a $1 better then shooting the hevi-shot or bismuth that is pushing $4 a shell. I know the latter two are much better shells. The side by side is going to stay...

Does anyone the options for an older 12gauge shotgun for duck hunting. I know that Bismuth is safe for it but it is getting harder to find since I had heard that the bismuth company went out of business. What about those Tungsten shells like Hevi-Shot. On their website they say it is safe. Do any of...

I agree with you bill K.

Don't do it at a Bass Pro Shops or a fishing store, those are the places that are there for us fisherman. Go do it at a wakeboard convention or something like that.

Sorry for everyone else that reads this, but I posted some time ago about where to find the junior D's and I am looking for that person that wrote back to me with a phone number saying that they have a bunch. I need to order some of them and can't find where I put the phone number. So I am hoping th...

Do any of you guys also notice it...... while my humminbird 987si is on the transducer puts out a pretty loud clicking sound. From all of your experiences, will this affect the fishing? Do you recommend that everytime I pull up to a spot I should turn my transducer off? I know Gary Dobyns runs Hummi...

I've used the suspend strips to try and get some of my floaters to suspend but I put 6 strips on a bomber model A and it still would float, just slower. I am looking for a variety that dive to 4ft. and some to 10ft.

Does anyone know of any companies that make a suspending crankbait. Not a long slender jerkbait. I am looking for one that still looks and runs like a crankbait. I know of the lucky craft bevyshad but I wonder if there are any others out there. I love to fish the junior D by specialty tackle but the...

Does anyone know a way of viewing a sample of it for the delta, like a screen shot of it? How detailed is it on the delta, does it show tides and depth contours? and what are the depth contour incriments, 10ft or 5ft or 1ft? Thanks for all the help, I am on the fence whether I want to purchase one o...

I was thinking of getting one of those navionics premium cards for the west here. Is it worth it if I almost exclusively only fish the delta? I have heard it is great for all the lakes but I was wondering what advantages it will give me for the delta. I have humminbird 987 so the platinum version wo...

I have the 987 csi Mine is also side imaging and color and gps and all that good stuff. The 987 was made first about 2 years ago and then last year they upgraded it to the 997. So to me it looks the same but I am just curious if anyone knows what changes they made.

bozzo21

Does anybody know what the difference is between the 987 unit and the 997 unit? I have the 987 unit and a chance to upgrade to the 997 but it would cost me a little bit, but it would be a screaming deal.

My question is...... would it be worth it?

Thanks

How much line do you need on your reel. With the price of line out there, is 50 yards enough or do you need 75 yards or do some of you use more or less than that. I'm guessing 50 yards should be good.

How much line do all of you put on your reels, to get the most out of some of those filler spools.

Hey Alex, I've got a smaller 17ft. skeeter with a yamaha 90 four stroke on it. I had a similar problem in that it wouldn't get on plane without someone standing on the bow or sometimes it would eventually get up on its own and then run pretty well once on plane. Checked fuel lines and air intakes an...

Cooch I got a question for you. Everyone is talking about the new trilene and stren fluoro, but you are the only one I know that has had it for a while..... if anyone else has also please chime in. Fluoro usually last a long time. Does this stuff hold up as well? Basically i am just curious how long...

Which sunline do you use? I know there's a few of them out there and are priced differently. Are the cheaper ones. Whats the difference between siglon, fc sniper and shooter. I was also browsing around on usacproshops.net and saw that sunline also now makes "bass special" fluorocarbon. Its...

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a prop for my boat. I have a 2001 skeeter 170 with a 90 yamaha four stroke on it. Its about time that I get a new prop. It still has the original on it and its losing some of its paint and one of the blades is a little bent on the edge. Not sure what ...

bozzo21

Thanks for all the info. I had a great time there on sat. I caught my PB which is only 6.4 but I was stoked nonetheless. We also caught numerous 3-5 lb fish. They were all over. The best areas that I found were the areas with tules inbetween two docks. The bigger fish seemed to be around the tules a...

Thanks for the replies,

I am going to be at the south end of the lake on soda bay road.

Sounds like you had a good day down there in that area. Hopefully I can do the same.

bozzo21

I am getting a chance to go to clear lake on saturday. I have never been there before. I am staying at a place on the lake with a friend, not sure yet where their house and dock is yet. With all the hype around this lake lately, I was wondering if anyone wanted to give any advice on fishing that lak...

Does anyone know when these tournaments are going to air on tv? if they are at all

bozzo21

I have never had an opportunity to watch some of these anglers that will be here the next two weeks. How does it work with following a guy and watching him fish? I know they are launching out of russo's so it will probably be packed back behind that concrete wall, is best to sit out in frank's and w...

Whats your favorite shakey head worm?

Does it have to float ie: does it have to be one of those 3x strike king worms, or do you all like using roboworms or what other kinds work well for everyone?

bozzo21

Thanks Mike, Wasn't sure if I was in any place to tell him that.

bozzo21

Thanks for all the info. Didn't realize there were so many options.

Any of these area's near any good fishing?

bozzo21

I know a lot of you know your way around the delta, so I am looking for some info. I am new to the area and only been there a couple times. I wanted to go out this sunday, and my girl wants to go with me. I figured its supposed to be a real nice hot day so it should be fun. I was wondering if any of...

bozzo21

I have the same problem with losing the bottom as well on my transducer unit. I always had the problem with the old unit and recently upgraded the console unit and put the x-15 on the bow with the same transducer from before. Now I am still having the same problem. I'm wondering if someone could ela...

I was wondering if anyone knew of a bass club near davis. I have never been part of a club but I would like to get involved in one.

Thanks

bozzo21

I am new to the area and from an area where you don't fish jigs too much, basically just finesse fishing. I have fished the delta a few times lately and I have to admit I have never caught a fish on a jig. Everyone talks about flipping and pitching jigs this time of year on the delta to catch fish. ...

bozzo21

If you all had to pick three colors of jigs for the delta what would they be? What about for other local area lakes like berryessa and clear lake? I'm new to the area and used to fishing very clear water resevoirs and know nothing about throwing or flippin jigs, but would love to get started.

Thanks

I love the okuma solaris rod for about 60.00. I also like the shimano's. The okuma has the best feel to me but the shimano's definitely have by far the best warranty.

bozzo21

And what will the 997c have that these don't?

bozzo21

Does anyone know what the difference between these two units are?

bozzo21

My yamaha four stroke is lost a lot of power recently and I think it is due to some dirty carbs. Does anyone know of a good mechanic that could give it a fix and a little tune up in the area? I live in Davis, Ca.

Thanks

bozzo21

Thanks everyone for all the info

I will give it a try and let you all know how it goes

Thanks again

bozzo21

Thanks Neil.

I've never fished for stripers. do you basically fish for them the same way as LM. Topwaters?

bozzo21

Hi everyone, I just moved up here and started veterinary school at UC Davis. I brought my skeeter up here hoping to get away to try and catch some bass up here. Unfortunately with school I never have time. So I am finally getting a chance next friday. I was thinking about fishing the delta cause I'v...

bozzo21

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the area as well as this forum. I am just starting school here at UC Davis and I have a 17 foot skeeter bass boat that I would love to bring up here.

Does anyone know of any resonably priced places nearby to store a boat?

Thanks
