Broke something inside my controls this morning. Got it taken apart and a piece broke thathat works the throttle. Pulled the throttle cable out and put it back together and it shifts fine so I was thinking of putting a hotfoot on with the same controls. Does anyone know if I need a longer throttle c...

I'm looking to replace my voltage regulator (883072T) and while shopping online it appears it can be replaced with a 815279T. Are the two interchangeable? It seems like the 815279T is quite a bit cheaper? What is the difference from other aftermarket regulators like Sierra or Mallory? And if I under...

Thanks for the help guys..I got the boat pulled out of the marina and took the cowling off. When I hit the button I can hear one of the relays click just before the motor starts turning...I also checked the fluid and it appears to be ok. When it was in the water I didn't see any fluid coming from it...

I was coming back in after trying to catch some stripers out in Sherman and my motor wouldn't trim...I could hear the trim motor spinning but it was like it wasn't hooking up with the motor to lift or go down...Has this happened to anyone else? It's a 1994 Mecury 200. Any help would be greatly appre...

Try this one, it gives the wind speed in 20 minute increments at bouy 14 on the Sacramento in front of Sherman Island. It gives you a good idea what Sherman Lake is doing. I call it everyday on the way home from work.

That was my initial thought, pulled it had some dried up moss, cleaned it all off but still same issue. Thanks for the reply though.

My Minn Kota just started acting up...When I turn the motor down below 30 on the speed it won't start up? Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem may be? It seems to run fine @ 35 or higher. I've got a Minn Kota 74 with Universal Sonar.

If your launching a bass boat you won't have any problems...Some larger cruiser type boats have problems at low tide. Indian Bob, the Camp host, keeps an eye on things and I have heard of very little theft problems. Ramp is in good condition but the levy road coming in is a bit rough keep it at 25mp...

With recent storms it seems the Delta has muddied quite a bit. Before this last storm I fished back in Lost Slough and Meadows and the water was pretty muddy but the West Delta was still clear up til Friday. However, since Saturday it seems the tides and runoff has pulled that muddy water down to th...

I know alot of people that take their kids to a baseball or football camp but I was wondering how many people would be interested in bringing their kids or grandkids to a Bass Camp? I've been thinking about putting something like this on at our marina on Sherman Lake. I know football/baseball camps ...

I disagee, the TERMINATOR is an idiot. As a state employee I have received 3 emails from him that he sent to all state employees. The first one started with "Dear VALUED State Employee" ended with "by the way we are going to pay you less than minimum wage". The second one said &q...

Why the O Ring or super glew? Just got by first two punkers, tried them out with 20 lb Big Game and on long casts had trouble walking the bait. When the bait got closer it walked better I'm thinking because it was too much stretch. Switching back to braid to try it again.

spanky99

The only thing that I have to say is your going to be sorry. You mentioned you have kept your boat garaged which tells me your boat probably looks in new condition. Putting your boat in a slip is going to make it age really fast. Even though it's in a covered slip, you still have the problems with b...

I don't know if this is just about one marina that got away with not allowing people to fish, it could one day be about ALL the other marinas not allowing people to fish!

I have seen a sign going into Driftwood Marina (I think thats the name) that says no fishing. Its on the east side of the Antioch bridge. I have heard that the only one you can't fish in is the Antioch Marina because of some city ordinance but that is just what I heard. I can't see how someone can't...

We smoked'em in Sherman. All schoolie sized but on average were about 4 to 5 lbers, with a few in the 6lb range and a few in the 18 inch range. Between four of us we caught and released over a hundred.

I have think I've seen it at Home Depot or Lowes in the hardware section. i have also seen it in the Craft section in Walmart. (my wife always seems the drag me in there). It comes in roles then you just cut it.

I use a piece of thin wire cut about six inches long. Place the jig in a vice. Lay the wire in the palm of your left hand and hold the skirt to jig with the fingertips of your left hand. Then bring both ends of the wire straight up around the material and collar of the jig. Cross the wire, and then ...

Fished the last hour of daylight in Sherman Lake. Father in law threw a rattle trap and I threw a pencil popper without so much as a strike or blowup. I think maybe some rain would help. Beautiful weather though, topwater looked so good, I would eat it but the fish didn't think so.

Hook, Line and Sinker will replace it for 20 bucks, they've never asked me how it broke either. I've been told though by another shop that if it was just the tip they would just replace the tip, which to me changes the action of a rod. They also said it doesn't cover the eyes which I have had proble...

I just moved to Sherman Island last year and usually try to get out about four days per week but because of work only for a few hours in the evening. It seems like last year the fishing in the lake was better for me, however my work schedule allowed me to fish more. I've been kind of struggling, cat...

Since moving out to our marina I seem to be leaving my boat on the water for longer periods of time. Last year I was pulling it out every week to pressure wash it down. I pulled it out today after leaving it in for two months. It just too convenient to and walk out to the dock and jump in. I spent h...

My family and I are the new owners of Sherman Lake Marina. We've been up there all summer working on the place and my three boys have been catching 'dads all summer. When there done collecting them we just through them back in the water. We will be living there permanently after next week. I'm sure ...

That's a nice striper. Kind of looks like the "runway"?

How do you know it's getting hot, do you have a temp guage on your boat...I always wondered about that, my boat doesn't have a temp guage. Is there an aftermarket guage one could buy or should rely on the alarm?

I know my four stroke dirt bikes have break in oil that supposed to be changed after 10 hours of use. Is this the same on four stoke outboards?

I don't know about the rest of you but that pic is awesome. I would die to have a pic like that on my desk at work. 4 or 5 pics at different times just doesnt have the same effect as holding up a 40+ limit of fish. A (as in one) picture says a thousand words and when I see photos like that all I can...

Just a little advice...My last boy was induced and my wife and I rented a really good comedy (Anger Management) from Block Buster and I'll tell you what we both laughed all the way up to about ten minutes before delivery.

I also agreed with the DQ, and when I saw the video I thought what an idiot! However, I then saw the interview with Howell. I ran this back a couple of times on my DVR to make sure I heard what I thought I heard...Howell said, "I saw him and waived him on through." This statement makes me ...

My father in-law and I had a debate while fishing the delta last weekend.

Took my boys out this weekend from Tower Park. Fished down the San Joaquin, Little Potatoe and near Helens and Henrys (or what ever it was called) using hair raisers, poppers, rattletraps, swimbaits with no luck. Next time I think I'll hire a guide and save myself the agony of defeat. The fishing re...

I'm down at Tower Park camping with my boys this weekend and I've been out all day looking for any stripers. Caught a few shakers but nothing to speak of with the exception of a few bass that exploded on my popper. If anyone can help, it would sure be appreciated.
