I was also shocked I had to send my info in…. It’s all crazy and a huge bummer for everyone involved. Banjo league stuff right 🪕 I kind of want some or all of the money I EARNED so I sent it in. Anyone else should do the same. Paul was the TD though and wants to help us if he can as he will most lik...

Jason Milligan

Paul Hodges was the tournament director for the Pro-Ams.

Jason Milligan

Just spoke with Paul. First off, hats off to this guy. He doesn’t have to do this but for the sake of his name and future dealings with the anglers he is trying to help us on his own time. THANK YOU Paul. So he’s not bombarded with phone calls I suggest you just text him your full name, address (not...

Jason Milligan

They have the flows for a successful spawn! Love to see it.

Jason Milligan

You’ll get several recommendations and most of them are good. I went with Precision Lithiums from Continental Battery Systems. Totally amazed with the performance of the batteries but here’s really why I leaned that way. They have product IN STOCK at locations all over the country. If you have an is...

Jason Milligan

Because paying farmers to not grow reduces inflation in the economy? Yeah ok…..

Jason Milligan

As long as it doesn’t affect your payouts too negatively I respect the fact they didn’t go down the list. You should qualify to be in or not be in. Thanks Ken!

Jason Milligan

Is this supposed to be a 50-boat field?

Jason Milligan

I’m pretty sure Power Mania is out of business… I hope that’s not the case for you but I remember hearing that lately. If there’s a Continental Battery Systems in your area they might be able to help you. Bummer deal but like said before you’re really lucky (or unlucky) the whole thing didn’t burn t...

Jason Milligan

I'll be down there. I was thinking the same thing. Why isn't anyone talking about this tournament on the boards!?!? With the new format and 10 guys going to the cup from the championship (potentially 2 from the west). NOTHING else in the west has the payout, media exposure or prestige as the FLW Ray...

Jason Milligan

Is the boat owner allowed to be in the boat and drive you guys around just like when FLW paid them to do so? If that is the case I'm sure guys will stay another day if they don't make the cut. You will however have to pay for that service yourself if FLW is not paying like years past.

Jason Milligan

Did I read that correctly? FLW is not providing boats for College Fishing? Is that statement for practice or the tournament?

Jason Milligan

Good one Bailey :) I could go on and on for a couple of pages on this subject. Maybe I'll write a book and title it "Just One More Fish"....... One that first comes to mind is a smallmouth at Lake Mead in the National Guard Series. It jumped eye level with me right at the boat and shook th...

Jason Milligan

No problem! Let me know if you need any help. I still love my Birds and Minn Kota. I learned the hard way, just like you, that internal transducers are not for me... You'll get better sensitivity with an external and you can mount it closer to directly under the shaft. Having the internal near the h...

Jason Milligan

I was experiencing the same problems with my Birds and Minn Kota. The following completely eliminated all of the interference: First make sure you are using an external transducer (internal ducers are terrible). Take the hose clamp off that holds the transducer on and where the clamp rides on top of...

Jason Milligan

This will be a great time. An amazing shop and staff, with a couple of the best in the business giving seminars. Even if you're not close, this would be well worth the drive! Not to mention, the Megabass selection is just that, MEGA!!!

Jason Milligan

There are many options but without a doubt, in my opinion, Calvin Burns is the best mechanic in the West. There are people from further away then you that take their boats to him. As stated above, he's in Redding at Redding Yamaha Seadoo (Formerly Oasis Water Sports).

Good luck!

Jason Milligan

Thank you Gene for fixing my MinnKota on more than one occasion...always after hours. That kind of service right on the river is irreplaceable. I wish you and your family well with whatever you do. You guys will be missed! I wonder how the operations will go down at next years FLW Delta event withou...

Jason Milligan

REALLY BIG! Haha. How big was the SQUAW DOG? I've caught too many to count over 20lbs at Shasta. I hate em but can't get myself to kill them like everyone says to. They're a native species.

Jason Milligan

Come out and fish guys. The bite is good and I think you could win on just about any bait right now! WIth the lake coming up daily everyone has to find new water and keep up with the fish. It should make for a good event.

Jason Milligan

Guys the Federation is a great org to fish. It's more money than a club tournament but still has the fun vibe of a club event. It's also a great stepping stone to larger events. Not to mention you can make it all the way to the Forrest Wood Cup through the Federation. It's a long road but it is by f...

Jason Milligan

I've found the "Gorilla Glue" super glue to be the best. It's also great for keeping your dummies glued to your A-Rig.

Jason Milligan

This is a great poll. I'm all about the fishing for all seasons. No time to hunt when there are so many species to chase! I am however very thankful for my friends hooking me up with Elk for the freezer. I refused to mark "trout" even though I am an avid steelhead fisherman. They are techn...

Jason Milligan

Many businesses are already dying off in Lake County. If you take bass fishing away from Clearlake...let's just say it won't be a place you'd even want to drive through!

Jason Milligan

It would help if more people knew you could keep fish under 12 inches. I had no clue!

Thanks Urban. It's crappie sized spotted bass fish tacos every time I go to Oroville from now on!

Jason Milligan

Hi's has all of the great products any other shop has and so much more! If there is a trick Japanese bait or custom American made bait they'll either have it or get it. Head on over to the site and if you're in the city come in and check it out. It truly is one of the nicest shops I've ever been in ...

Jason Milligan

My fish are bigger...hahah

Jason Milligan

Damn KB... Well at least you got the ball rolling.

Jason Milligan

Was there more guys that made the trip that were not on the list? I know there were co's not on the list but was there more pros?

Jason Milligan

Come out and fish guys! I hope we can get some boats going in this region and build it back up. Shasta is fishing great right now. See ya at the ramp Saturday!

Jason Milligan

Interesting mix of opinions. Like I said I'm neutral on the rig. I actually take pride when I catch em on conventional baits when others are throwing the rig. It seems like every event after the rig came out you had to start practice trying to find the rig bite. It made practice kind of boring. The ...

Jason Milligan

The iROD IRG744c is another great option. I prefer this rod with 15lb. Seagur in more open water or sparse weeds. If I'm fishing in the junk I'll go with the IRG754f "Fred's Magic Stick" with 65lb Suffix 832 braid and a 20lb leader of Seagur. It's similar to the 744c...only on performance ...

Jason Milligan

If you've never been to Hi's you gotta go check it out! It's one of the nicest shops I've ever been in. If you've been there then you already know. Dean and the staff have a wealth of knowledge and are willing to share information with anglers. If nothing else I guarantee you'll learn a new knot or ...

Jason Milligan

Just read the rules for Outdoor Heritage Inc Pro/Ams. NO A-Rigs allowed! What's your opinion on that decision? I'm neutral on the topic. I've had that rig reward me and kill me...

Jason Milligan

The first event is on November 3rd! Are we going to get any teams to show up in this region this year? I don't think there will be another team circuit at Shasta other than ABA. I hope we can get some boats and get a following up here! Anyone else already planning to fish?

Jason Milligan

For the Pro-Ams, the 20% that receive free entries the following year, is that based on 20% for each the north and south region or 10% from the north and 10% from the south? Is it based on all 8 tournaments for the North and South region forcing an angler to fish both regions in order to receive fre...

Jason Milligan

Anyone that hasn't been in Hi's for a while needs to check it out. The shop is laid out very well, clean and stylish. The seminar should be a good time!

Jason Milligan

I just switched over to a diesel rig and I never want to go back to GAS again. I bought an 06 Dodge Ram 2500 with the 5.9 Cummins. 22 mpg just driving around and 18 mpg towing, usually faster than the posted speed limit :) In AZ I was able to set the cruise at 80mph while towing the boat and pull a ...

Jason Milligan

Yeah Bryan, 7 is the wrong number. I wish the team circuits would cut the schedules back to 5 events....

Jason Milligan

Great job to the top 10!

Jason Milligan

I couldn't believe it when he told me he was the infamous "Hippie". Jason is a really cool guy that I wouldn't mind fishing with any day. Kind of puts things in perspective and shows you can't say you know anyone or what they're about until you actually meet them. We had a tough day that d...

Jason Milligan

11th....

Jason Milligan

The people from the Tonto Basin/Payson area are great! I fished the Stren at Rosy last year and was blown away by how great the people are. They promote the tournaments big too. I wish other places we go would follow their lead in how they promote the event and how great they treat the anglers. I'm ...

Jason Milligan

I had one and loved it. I never put it on my new Fortrex and ended up selling it to one of my friends. If you are getting one for a Fortrex you might want to make sure it's long enough. If not they make a Walleye model that's longer.

Jason Milligan

How are you ever supposed to make enough money fishing the American Fishing Series or BFL's to get out on tour? The money is just not there in the AFS series. The West NEEDS a series... Maybe down the road...

Jason Milligan

I don't think it's as much what you're throwing, but where you're throwing it. There's guys at both of these lakes that weigh in big limits caught on dartheads and others that catch em on swimbaits. It's more of finding the small key pieces of structure that hold the better fish. You can catch a goo...

Jason Milligan

Heres what I don't understand. Shasta Lake vs Trinity Lake. Pretty close to the same elevation, both fluctuate, neither have much cover, etc... Trinity= world class Smallmouth fishery and a lot of nice Northern Strain Largemouth. Shasta= a million little spots, a lot of big spots and very very few l...

Jason Milligan

I'll be fishing and if I draw you at Shasta like I did at Oroville, Vince, there will be no precious large mouths to catch off the back of my boat

There could be some magnum spots though!

Jason Milligan

Hot Tamalie!

Jason Milligan

I wear Gortex Danner boots or Ariats. The aggressive hiking style. Warm feet and always dry.

Crocs.... LOL
