Follow up.... I called Modesto Trailer Repair on a recommendation and made an appointment. I took time off work to take it in. I showed up, the gal never wrote my information down. She owned it and apologized. I did not get a good vibe from the guy who came out and looked at it. He told me I could l...

It's a 20' skeeter. It appears the driver side front hub is out of alignment. The inside of the tire is wearing.
Check the tire pressure. Under inflated tires can cause uneven wear.

Pressure is perfect.

I noticed this morning that one of my rams on my SHO 250 has a small leak. I want to get it replaced before it becomes a bigger issue.

C&C Is a month out. Is there anyone else in the Sac - Modesto Valley that you'd recommend contacting?

Thank you gents.

I've looked at Anglers and they don't have anything in stock that I'm interested in. I agree that the cost of used boats is higher than normal but that can be said of most things. I've come across a few in private party sales that I am interested in but I've yet to find a bank or company to use for ...

Does anyone have a company or Bank they recommend for financing a used boat? My credit union is the worst when it comes to boat loans. I've been torn between a New / Used boat but for what I want I just cant stomach spending that kind of money. I don't fish tournaments so It's just for fun fishing. ...

They are on Face book and have a Number. I think it is 7:00..... Yes there are obstructions due to shallow bays and some fence lines. Lots of the tombstone shaped rock piles. We see the place as a close version of the delta as it has stained water, grass, and fish shaped like footballs. A main lake...

I’m going to try Salt Springs Res tomorrow for the first time.

Do they have a specific time they open? I couldn’t get information on the website.

Also, having never been there, are there any hazards In the water to be aware of?

I appreciate the help.

Us gen X ers can say what we want about the Millennials most is true. But when it comes to fishing etiquette, It's mostly the old guys doing the Dbag things. Truth.... I’ve seen more D baggery by guys that are 40 +. I just laugh it off and think that this guy catching a few is literally the highlig...

Maybe I'm missing something, but I would hope this is a non-issue with most boaters. We've all seen videos and heard stories, a kill switch seems like common sense. Common sense isn’t very common anymore unfortunately. I still see countless guys running without PFDs. I pray they don’t become a stat...

That trolling motor ....

Freefall

I have a Dobyns 735 Sierra that I don’t need. It has one small piece missing off the very butt of the cork from getting pinched in my trolling motor. It didn’t effect the blank.

I’d like to trade it for a 704,734 or 795 SB. If not I’ll sell it.

If you have one to trade let me know.

Good afternoon, I’m using a Ranger 488vs and I had something interesting happen with the live wells that I can’t figure out. The levers are on EMPTY yet they ended up half full today. I never pumped water into them and the pumps wouldn’t push the water out. I had to pull the plug to drain it at the ...

It's no different than buying a used car from a used car dealer, I totally agree with you guys, it's b.s. Just a way to get you on the phone and if the price is too high their next comment would be "what price range are you looking in..... " and then the sales guy is off and running with ...

Agreed...

I’ll be in the market for a new (or used) boat in the next few months and have seriously been considering an aluminum hulled boat. The 2 brands that have caught my eye are Vexus & Ranger. Mostly because they seem to have a few more details that add up and make a difference. My questions to those...

I have a brand new, never used, Dobyns Champ Extreme 805 Punch rod with tags on it just taking up space.

I'll sell it for $200 or Possibly trade it for a Tranx 300.

About 2 ft vis, turning green in Potato south of Tower, and then into Whites. North between Tower and Sycamore is clearing up, BUT still only about a foot to 1.5 vis. I was in these areas Friday. Big difference between Wednesday and Friday though, so looks like its finally starting to clear. Thank ...

Can anyone give me a general idea of the water clarity around tower park? PMs are welcome if you prefer not to post.

Thanks guys.

Does Turner cut or Tiki Lagoon keep their launches open with a drop box to pay?

I usually don't launch there but I'm going to try to squeeze in some time before work on Monday but will be launching early.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the responses. Oddly enough I picked up some of the Owner CPS hooks today. In case I wasn't clear in my initial comment. The issue I have is with the hook point pushing through the bait and snagging on the cover going in and out. It seems with the cam motion of the Snell knot when the bai...

I primarily fish the D and have punched for years. Besides frogging it's by far my favorite way to catch em. However, I HATE using a straight shank hook and Snell knot combo. I cannot keep the hook from punching through the bait and snagging the cover on the way in and out. Which leads to wasted tim...

Is duck season still open? Unfortunately no... I saw the same thing recently. Last year I found the remains of what would have been a solid 10. Its truly unfortunate how the D is taking such a decline between the spraying/pellets & sea lions. It's still an amazing fishery but a shell of itself.

I have some Tatulas taking up space in need of a home. All are a year old and in good shape. Minor scuffs from the boat and 100% mechanically sound. They cast a mile and the adjustments are outstanding. I'm only selling to help fund another purchase. All come with 832 braid on them. Some have 30, so...

Best post I've seen in a while. Great job getting the littles on the water.

If the temps rise it'll improve the reaction bite. The fish are around, just tight lipped. The bite window is small and presentation is everything. If it's not really close you aren't getting bit. The spawn will proceed regardless. Clarity doesn't effect the fish, just the fisherman. That said I boa...

That's awesome! On the frog too , I dig it.

I wish I had a picture with my PB to do that with. I need to get a mount done, I have pictures of the fish and measurements. Just not with me holding her.

It's awesome to have that memory. Strong work.

If you have one in decent shape shoot me a line.

As a rat that kills ducks/line sides and releases green fish it does my heart good to see those weights.

Still cheaper than Amador or Comanche... We're spoiled on the D to have so many options for launching and all are reasonably priced. However, I Absolutely love fishing berryessa. I live 15 minutes from comanche and I drive to Berry as often as I can. It fishes far better and has more to offer habita...

They stock larger than average trout in there than other lakes. 2-4 pound trout is not a food source for bass. Plus all those bigger trout eat a lot baby bass. It is still a good lake, but not as good as it was in the past for bass. That's what I was thinking too. The stockers there now are typical...

Lots of options for an A-Rig rod. It depends on how much weight you're chucking. Most of us are using 3/16 or 1/4 oz heads. So even a big XD 10 rod will throw these weights. Many guys are using 795 SB rod but I fell it's too much rod. We have a light swim bait rod call 794 SB with a 12" handle...

No doubt that there are/were big fish in the lake. I stuck my first 10 there at 13 years old. It could have been just a rough day on the water. I'll try it again in April and we'll see then.

I grew up fishing it and had good success there years ago. I hadn't been there in 10 years so I gave it a shot today... what a disappointment... maybe it was the lack of visibility but I threw the kitchen sink at them and blanked... its been a long time since that's happened.
