Totally navigable. I run it all the time, but there are a lot of hazards, you just have to be careful. If you're not familiar with running the river, be extra careful. There are sandbars and hazards hidden under the water. Low tide you see more and high tide you can be over confident. Lots of guys h...

Just had one done at C&C Marine

Awesome fish! with genetics like that we can only hope the lake will kick out more and maybe even bigger!

I still use for swimbaits and float N fly

I have had Ben Green Insurance for years. I couldn't recommend him more. Always there to answer questions and help make good decisions on options for insurance and not just on boat, trailer. Thanks Ben!

So according to this https://newschannel9.com/sports/outdoors/bassmaster-elites-no-longer-pay-to-play The entry fees were $45K a year. If a pro was paying their own entries, they were already $45K in the hole before, travel expenses, which is a lot to make up before they start to get a profit. IF a ...

Nice to see the show released in the same season instead of the following year like the Wild WEst or APEX shows were done. Nice improvement!

ILW

But whats really the difference between the west and anywhere else? Why is there so much support for the tournaments other places and the west there isn't? I know prices are higher here for gas and boat licensing and taxes etc, but so are wagers so relatviely that equals out and I don't know this an...

I agree 27 a day sounds about right.
I do think there will be a 10 pounder.

ILW

And nice job on Mark getting the full payouts out with results with breakdowns.

ILW

DoubleG!

Why would a license change the need for the gene collection?

ILW

I havent seen it myself but I heard there is or will be an Ace Hardware taking over that spot with a fishing tackle area where Hook was.

ILW

Over $2,000 for first and $1,000 for 2nd on a 16 boat field. Wow! Nice! How is this not drawing more boats?

ILW

So True. For myself, cant give enough thanks! and thanks to companies like this on St. Croix, that recognize that too.

ILW

LOL this link was brought up in a post remebering Kramers top 40. Is it okay if someone talks about it or recalls some of the good old days or great anglers or is there a statue of limitations on posts or opinions here?

ILW

Well there goes that theory...
and thank you for all the videos Caleb. Really enjoy them.

Was on the river couple days this week. Spent 2 days on the East Delta fished it all, :shock: :shock: White's and Disappointment and 14 mile and everything connected. Disappointment has been heavily sprayed but stil caught a few small fish on worms on the breaks with current pushing on them. Got int...

Bailey didn't go to Texas and hes still there guiding.

Is the Delta even the same without Cooch? Good to read this again.

AVG.JOE You fish 5 or 6 team tournaments a year to make it to the TOC for one boat. Why not two boats and pony $20,000.00 cash for first place. Each angler wins a boat fully rigged and $10,000.00 each. I'm sure The ABA could do something like that with no problem. I'm sure there sponsors are genero...

Thermalito Afterbay tournament that Ken Mah won https://www.westernbass.com/article/ken ... o-afterbay

ILW

It can fish like the Delta. Similar cover, lots of cover, big fish, shallow water fishery and there is current from the pumping and wind or whatever but yes no tide changes. Yes, same baits and techniques.I think Ken Mah won there punching. Don't know about the water pumping effects.

ILW

Woooow! I would have to wonder if you have ever fished from a boat and have experienced the uncontrollable variables that can occur on the water like hitting lower unit on something on the main channel, or sucking something up in the water pump and overheating it. I would also wonder if you know Ken...

Spent two days on the Dirty D. Launched out of Ladds. Got on the water about 8 am both mornings. The water temp started off at 49 degrees the first day. Started in Frank's Tract flipping jigs, dropshotting, and a ripbait. Caught 2 strippers on a ripbait. After bout 4 hours, I decided to make a move ...

This kinda looks legit. TOM HARGROVE, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v.

Anyone else getting this crazy info about Tackle Warehouse with a request to sign up for the claim?

Sports Warehouse, through the website...

I have fished tournaments for 15 years and several organizations are sending payment out now not writing checks at the events. I know I've been paid electronically by two different organizations. Gigwage and Paypal I think were the ones used. And it takes a bit of time to receive it.

I guess I see it as... if the payout weren't good enough the guys that are fishing it, wouldn't be. There are some big names of the west fishing it and they seem satisfied or they wouldn't be wasting time or energy or money. And if someone gets invited then its their buziness but if their not then d...

I am a customer of Ben Green and can say he has always returned calls or emails even on questions that had nothing to do with selling me a policy and this has been the case during covid times which seems like customer service most places has taken a dive. I appreciate that Ben Green will tell me &qu...

ILW

Probably the same thing guys think that dont live by Russos or Big Break for the circuits that only go out of the West Delta. Who knows maybe a good choice to offer at least one circuit on the other side in a whole different county.

ILW

Have you thought about doing a pontoon rental and giving it a try for a day? Maybe it would be a good experiment. I m sure Ive seen pontoon rentals on the Delta. Tower Park comes to mind but it could have somewhere else.

ILW

Why not! Not everyone fishes for 100s of 1000s of dollars, like maybe you do. Lots of guys fish for no money, just for fun or for bragging rights or club levels or $20 derbies. Why be a hater on someone elses fun. Dan runs a good tournment. Paybacks are fair. Guys enjoy it. So again why not! Or I gu...

Checkout C&C Marine they handle a lot of that. Worth the drive to Modesto from Stockton.

In my county, it has always been only what you owned on January 1 and had nothing to do with paying taxes for a specific year or timeframe. If you bought boat feb and sold in Dec, you avoided the unsecured property tax altogether. BUT if you bought new one Dec 31 then sold old one on Jan 3, then you...

ILW

What an awesome day at Clear Lake! Glad to hear the fishing is well even with the low water.

ILW

Congratulations!

ILW

Even if all teams paid for all options thats 160 a boat so a total of $8640 to pay out. More than that was paid. Am I missing something?

The long ad hoizontal on the top and the big one on the side are Google ads and when it is a Google ad it means every person sees a different ad that Google chooses dependent on the information that they have on that persons views.

Wow. I've had some customer service issues with the Manteca BPS but never involving this much money. Sorry to hear your new boat buy was tainted. It is sad to say that a businesses service and reputation are all up to the employees and it is pretty rare that I see employees (esepcially in retail or ...

Love to see the pup out there with you.

Thanks for the report on fishing the keys. Sounds like a fun trip and good fishing! Like the post above me I appreciate the enthusiasm. Too much negativity in the world not to appreciate a good fishing trip story.
