My first thoughts.

Launched at Centimudi today. Use caution as the dock is about 30 degrees to the ramp and the water is muddy and you cannot see the ramp. Following the dock will put you into mud 18 inches deep. Water is shallow straight out from ramp, follow the Marina docks out to deep water.

That’s fine cuz DFG “DOES NOTHING”

Pretty much.

Jboutfishn

Centimudi is open, good dock, lousy ramp, parking on the rocks. Bridge Bay is open, two lane ramp, docks both sides, at least 30 feet from ramp, parking on the rocks. Jones Valley open, long drive on dirt road.

Put the same ladder on my 2009 Nitro, solid unit, good decision.

Still free!

This is a good thing.

Nice!

TNX for your reply. You have a PM
The motor is the V8 Pro XS 200HP. There is no torque tab. Max RPM is 6200. I am sure with the right conditions I would turn 6200.
I am not interested in max speed, looking for something that will give best handling.

Jboutfishn

Going to buy a spare for my 2021 Z19 Pro. Factory prop is a 23P Fury. Max RPM 6000. Unless you are perfectly trimmed, steering is very hard on left turns. A 24 Bravo has been suggested, looking for more input! Any help?

Thanks in advance!

Yup

The ramp at Sugarloaf on Lake Shasta is closed.

Does Triton offer a factory cover? Have had after market covers, never pleased.

Coyote268, well said. There was a time when we would have many deer grazing on our grass. Since the protection of mountain lions and the loss of bear hunting with dogs, the number of deer in Shasta County has gone steadily down The number of observed bears and mountain lions on our property has incr...

Launched at Sugarloaf, 6:00 am, what a pit. the dock (for what it's worth) is at an angle to the ramp which is Old Hwy 99. Left side of road is deeper that the right, always fun loading. If I did not have an annual pass I would launch at Bridge Bay. Rant over. Lost several Sencos to what I perceived...

"its not a climate crisis, its a state crisis"
More like politicians failing to do their job. But then what''s new.

Been on the lake every day for the last two weeks. Some serious smoke last week, but since Friday it has been clear.

Not to mention the HUGE wakes most of them throw.

Just sayin.

Jboutfishn

Launched at Sugarloaf this AM. Two lane ramp OK (old highway 99), parking is a disaster, dock is useless.

While my annual Shasta Launch Permit is good there, (good at all public ramps) I can't believe Shasta Rec is charging $20 to launch/park here.

Jboutfishn

And I wonder where the Sites Reservoir is? If our elected reps cared about anything besides getting reelected we could have more water for all uses.

Jboutfishn

Problem turned out to be the Hot Foot not fully returning to idle. We are talking less that 1/16 of an inch.

Jboutfishn

At Idle speeds when shifting from forward or reverse into neutral without squeezing the Neutral Lock Bar the motor quits. Of course the bar must be squeezed to shift into gear, but must you squeeze to bar to shift out of gear so as not to shut off the motor?
Any help from other Z19 owners?

Jboutfishn

A good 4WD could launch off of the point.
Packer Bay is still open, although very narrow. Long walk up the ramp to parking area!

Jboutfishn

Hirtz Bay campground is closed with some logging going on. I took these pics of the launch area, hope it helps in your decision.

Jboutfishn

With the lake being 108 feet down and dropping daily most camping and boat launch areas are closed. One option may be camping at Lakeshore East. There is little water in front of the campground now but there is a low water launch about 2 miles south of the campground. Good but narrow ramp, good dock...

Yup, same goes for the Redding area.

Found one, thank you!

I posted this in the Classifieds without any luck. Looking to buy a Boat Buddy. I had one for 10 years without issue and let it get away. I know they are no longer made, but it fit my needs perfectly.

Please PM me with any help.

Hey Russ, you have a PM.

The water temps were 53 to 55 10 days ago. Wish I could be more help but will be without boat for the next two months.

Jboutfishn

Bad Link?

Jboutfishn

We need someone in the State House who cares as much for a health of the Delta as they care about the votes of the water users in the central valley.

Your not only protecting yourself but everyone on the same lake from your runaway boat if/when you get tossed out.

Just sayin.

It's not just bass fishing. I was fly fishing a run on the upper Owens when a jerk walks up and start chunking a glob of worms through the water. No clue. Jerks abound everywhere. Many times it is just lack common sense. Fishing Shasta I have had ski boat run by at speed not 50 feet away, quite a ri...

Thinking about ordering a new Nitro Z20. Looking to determine which dealer is going to give me the best service. I have bought boats from both dealers in the dim historic past without issues, but as I said, a few years ago. Any comments about service today would be appreciated.
