In addition to what the others have said, if you want some numbers, pick up a crankbait the last hour of daylight and hit as much of the east bank of the lake as you can. Can be lights out from feb-april.

My daughters boyfriend just bought a 1988 Ranger 363V w/o windshields. He cant afford ranger "new" prices, so I thought I would ask. You can PM me if you'd like.

Thanks,

I have been looking for a ladder for my ranger 482. Ranger wants 450 for the part....I've seen lots listed in various marine catalogs but am unsure as to whether they will work on my boat. Is this E ladder user friendly. It says that it is spring loaded. When you release it to use the bottom step, d...

they could beat the pros.............they did!.......They won both the semi pro and the pro tournament......in an angler choice event. This has been in the last 5 years. Check the AC results for yourselves.

Hollywoood,

Were you on the second paved ramp at the dam?

When I was there 7 days ago, it looked like that ramp needed 25 vertical feet to see water.

Phil

The Lone Angler

When I was up there last Monday, it looked like the water needed to come up about 5 vertical feet to hit the bottom end of the new ramp. As of now 2/15 6pm, the lake has come up 2.5 feet since last monday. Hope the water keeps coming.

How big the striper caught below the rapids by the high school teacher weighed? Seemed it was in the 50-60+ range?

Phil

I was on the lake yesterday and put in at Markley. A friend said that only Cappel and Markley are still open. Spanish flat ramp was out of the water anyway.

Hope this helps,

Buy some ringfree from a yamaha dealer and run in your gas religiously. I had a 1990 yamaha 150 and never had a lick of trouble from it. If you are mechanically inclined, buy some yamaha brand combustion chamber decarboner (and a new set of plugs to install afterward) and remove the intake manifolds...

A blonde walks into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist for some rectum deodorant. The pharmacist, a little bemused, explains to the woman that, they don't sell rectum deodorant, and never have. Unfazed, the blonde assures the pharmacist that she has been buying the stuff from this store on a regular...

I was up there this pm. The girl at the bidwell Kiosk said that the wait was 45 min or so at bidwell. Apparently, tempers are running somewhat high. I opted to go to the spillway as I was launching by myself. It was a pain in the backside w/no dock and launching of a gravel mud road. Luckily my 10 y...

Have you been able to locate the underwater bridge on collins up by where the creek arm starts. If I am guessing right, based on the collins website, the top of the bridge should be in 31' of water or so. I am thinking of night fishing it when the water drops to 50' down or so. You want to check thi...

I had a yamaha 150 from 1993-2007. I ran the spray in the carbourator combustion chamber cleaner through the motor once/year, but needed to change the plugs after the treatment due to the released carbon chunks fouling the plugs. As I understand it, a fairly famous bass fisherman kept blowing mercur...

A husband and wife are doing their grocery shopping. The man picks up a case of beer and sticks in into the shopping cart. "What do you think you're doing?" asks the wife. "They're on sale, only $10.00 for 24 cans," he says. "Put them back. We can't afford it," says the...

I think to put a boat in there, you need to use the washington outboard clubs ramp and it is private. Just getting into the port can be difficult w/the security guards. You can access the deep water channel off Jefferson as I believe there is a parking lot south of the channel to the west of Jeffers...

Hey CN

What is a VTO and just what is the HBC? When is the HBC by the way.

I would head way, way up the river arm, as far as you can go and throw ricos or michaels, with a buzzbait mixed in in windier areas(This is for early early morning. Think shade and look for it. After that bite dies, I'd head to the main body and dropshot on island tops.

Hope this helps,

I like the Yo zuri hybrid in the smoke color. I use 20# at night and have good success with it not breaking. Shows up w/black light as well.

Gator, I had a 1990 363V Ranger that I had a company in Sacramento called DHM Trailers put surge brakes on. They had to put on another axle and a new tongue on the trailer in addition to the brakes(drum). I don't remember why I chose drum, but I wouldn't do it again. They charged me $700 in 1994. Th...

My buddy buys trailer tires for Caltrans says that tire manufacturers say trailer tires are the bottom of the heap, quality-wise. He now buys light truck tires for all state owned trailers. I did same on my ranger trailer and had good success with them.

Larry, I've fished this lake for the past 25 years give or take. The lake is full of stunted spots and a few smallmouths. Largemouths are fairly rare here though they were plentiful in the eighties (82 to be exact). There is little feed in the lake for bass, therefore they don't seem to grow very bi...

I lived in Sloughhouse for several years in the 90's and march, april, and may were good times on blodgett lake. My first trip I got skunked. My second trip in my tube, I caught a small limit off the dam. My 3rd trip, I caught 3 fish for 14 lbs.........no s8#t! One of the 3 fish only weighed 2 lbs. ...

RD,

Did they only pay back 3 places? Seems in the past they have paid down further.....

I would be surprised if they ever post any results. I don't recall having seen any results for years past. Maybe somebody fished the event and can remember some numbers though.

Ten mile lakes are full of nice sized large mouth. They are right on the coast near where the umpqua enters the ocean. Back east of I-5 is lost creek and it has decent quantities of largemouth and smallmouth. Crane Prarie ( check the reports page) supposedly has good size largemouth though I hear th...

Way to go kid...........Get something going today and teach those boys a lesson.

Man, that looks killer. Seems very similar to the osprey. I wondered as well about slashers that would not get stuck by a single hook. My guess is that it will put more fish in the boat.

Phil

The Lone Angler

Bass must be 12" mouth closed to be kept. That is why most tournaments make the minimum size limit 13" mouth open so if you get checked by the warden, you are OK as 13" mouth open fish will go 12" mouth shut...........food for thought anyway.

Did I hear correctly that it is phased out for married couples making greater than $150K?

Does phased out mean you get none if you make greater than the limit, or is the refund reduced when you meet and exceed this magic number?
