He went away on top. I did run into him a couple years ago and he did say he will come back one day and win another so we will have to wait and see.

On my Helix I see blobs instead of arches. The blobs are usually a mix of some green, blue, yellow, or red. Its been a while so i'm not exactly sure on the colors but a colorful blob is a fish. This time of year the fish are not moving that much so usually I mainly see a small blob on the bottom of ...

Mercury/OEM will be the best starter you can get. After market starters are garbage. Not sure why the starters are failing, Outboard starters last for decade(s), You need to search the web and find out what the issue is.

Ken Norton.... I would probably like you but you're as dumb as any conservative on here that watches FOX news exclusively. You're all part of the system and don't even realize it. I tossed my Trump flag in the trash a month or so ago. You can have him. He's compromised just like every POS president ...

When I was going through the (free) inspection, the people around me looked like those you might see at a county fair or the DMV. Personally I don’t think it’s crazy that out of the thousands of boats inspected less than one percent have, in fact, had the mussel on them. Look at you, you're judging...

Whoopbass

You and a handful of others can't be fooled but we have the likes of Ken Norton Jr. and some old bags and farts that watch the 6:00 O'clock news that eats this crap up. They believe the state has good intentions and is backed by science and what not but what they're lacking is common sense. Make it ...

A few days ago I was speaking with someone that is knowledgeable on the golden mussel issue. They told me something very obvious when you see what is happening to our freedom. There is 0.0% interest in preserving opportunity for recreation boaters. None Zip Nada. Keeping the mussels out of the wate...

:roll: I’m not going to waste my time because I’m pretty sure you were the guy talking about Candace Owen’s being a great news source, so I’ll take any insult from you as a compliment. Maybe, though, you can ponder why our Republican Assemblyman is essentially signing off on this: https://www.facebo...

Did the "scotch broom" get stopped?? How about the Asian carp???? How will the microscopic mussel be stopped??? It's not wrong to question things and definitely not wrong to questions things when they happen overnight. Wake up fool...you're being played.

What a scam. The find a boat on opening day of every inspection and it’s always a pontoon boat moored in the delta for an unknown period of time. If you believe that I have a covid shot for you that will stop you from getting or transmitting the virus. Democrats lie. It’s what they do. In Californi...

Short video of the mussels they claimed was transported from the Delta to Folsom. Looks legit to me.

Definitely OID and SSJID are responsible for the restrictions at Melones and Tulloch. I'm sure the property owners at Tulloch put pressure on them to shut the lake down because that lake was a ZOO on the weekends. Not sure about the other lakes. Probably some pencil necked geeks in charge that made ...

Whoopbass

Why would it ever go back to the way it was? If Mussels are here and there is no way to eradicate them then there is only going to be more restrictions and more lakes will follow. I'm still betting its all a hoax. These irrigation districts have been wanting to do this for years but were too dumb to...

I thought the boats in both crashes were stopped and fishing. The NPFL accident they were and it sounds like the victims are going to sue everybody they can. If both boats were under power in the MLF crash then MLF shouldn't get hit too hard and Flint will stay out of jail. I guess the guide should ...

As he should be. MLF and there was an accident shortly after with the NPFL and they're both going to get sued out the Wazoo. We all may be fishing out of Kayak's after this.

Why is nobody wondering why the two that drowned were not wearing a PFD ?? As a guide, shouldn't that be a requirement for your clients ?? Liberal mentality......How come they weren't wearing their N93 masks at the time????? They could have caught Covid and died. And NO it's not a requirement to we...

I'm wondering the same thing. Might have to move out of state. I plan on getting a jet boat for the rivers and the hell with the lakes, crowds, wardens, FFS, fees, etc.

He took a polygraph but I don't think it was from BASS it was one he paid for. When he got DQ'd from Okeechobee he claimed he "self reported" the violation which was a lie and BASS let him get away saying that on the air. If he can lie so easily then he is capable of anything. He had me fo...

The mechanic I know says they don't rebuild trim units because half the time it doesn't work. Buy a seal kit and check out some Youtube videos or you can buy a used unit from ebay and pay to have someone put it on.

Dude caught a lake record and snagged the biggest bass that probably has ever lived. Bass fishing wise he is accomplished unlike the rest of us.

Whoopbass

Do you think BASS wanted to DQ him? The answer is No...He's one of the few pro's they have that has name recognition. BASS has always stood behind integrity unlike FLW/MLF. Scott was cheating or bending the rules just like his Daddy did before this was considered cheating. Evidently his peers didn't...

Whoopbass

In other words.......It ain't us doing this.....go bitch to BLM......or the little pansy in charge over there. Hopefully Trump will put you out of a job since there's no lake to look after anymore.

Whoopbass

It's all for show. Do you really think a dog can smell a mussel whether its an adult or microscopic in a bilge when the entire boat reeks of tuna? Odds are there are no mussels in CA but if there are its too late and they can't be stopped. It's all about water control and now they finally figured ou...

I'm not sure how it works because I can't make sense of the weights but $51K is a hell of a payout. All you guys that fish other trails and think you're Future Pro's need to get on the BAM wagon.

Whoopbass

Where else are they going to go? With Long Covid, climate change, and systematic racism there really isn't many choices. We should all get in our Prius's with kayak on top, shut the hell up, and pay for whatever amount to be inspected. They know what's good for us. BTW, I like how your referred to t...

If I catch a 37# bag in a private pond nobody is going to give a sheet about that. Same thing goes for the scopers.........nobody gives a sheet because they didn't catch them in a sporting manner. Same type a deal when some less of a man goes on a safari hunt and pumps a bullet into a lion that has ...

Give WD-40 a try.

Whoopbass

A big bolt and the right size washers could quiet that thing down for a few $.

Whoopbass

Yes, that's a good motor. The 225's and on up had issues. Brand new 2025 I hope all is good. I assume all the issues have been worked out from years back.

Whoopbass

Price em what their worth and you might sell them. I see ads for 15-20 year old motors asking for $10-12K dollars.

So Wimpy's is closed due to some fire inspection even though they are on the water. Nice going California and the pigs that enforce these rules via our tax dollars.

https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Invasives/Species/Golden-Mussel Supposedly there's some around the ramp at Ladd's/Buckley Cove. Should be easy enough to spot some at low tide. :lol: You think the powers that be would shut that ramp down. They even spotted them over 200 miles away in the aqueduc...

Whoopbass

Anyone else find it strange that the one place where they "supposedly" found these mussels continues to be wide open, but the places that are 100% mussel free are all closing? Has anyone even seen actual proof of golden mussels in the delta? I'm out there quite often and have yet to see a...

I remember watching a tournament weigh in and Juan Acosta said he spent something like 250 days a year out there and he still wasn't leading or even had a great bag. The Delta can be very tough even for the best but you can also stumble into a huge bag. A few years ago I thought I was on to somethin...

Whoopbass

Nobody can figure out the delta. You can have a good year and then the next year they're gone and you have to start all over again. More traffic won't hurt the delta one bit.

Whoopbass

There will be more traffic because there is less hassle. 90% of the guys going to the lakes will just say their boat hasn't been to the delta this year regardless. Are they moving a mussel? I really doubt it. If they haven't been moved at this point then odds are the risk of moving them to another b...

Whoopbass

According to that link the golden mussel lives to about 10 meters deep. 30 feet or so ? Every year they draw the water down in all the lakes by that much or more. Won’t that kill them and keep them under control? yes but what about marinas, docks, houseboats, other slipped boats, buoy lines, floati...

Fishing is a sport but does not require a person to be an athlete. You're the first one in this thread to refer to them as athletes. Fishing is more taxing than other sports that have so called "athletes".

Unless they done away with rentals last year all those boats tied up to those floating docks in front of the ramp are Rentals. Of course it's all bologna. I would like to see some proof besides the states word that they're here and if they are what are the odds of spreading them by boat. Evidently i...

Whoopbass

I don't think its the states decision to close Tulloch to boating. That decision was probably made by OID and SSJID water districts. The store may suffer some but they will probably make that up in boat rentals. I'm not sure what the guy leasing/running the campground gets to keep in gate fees but i...

Whoopbass

Now the Homeowners have a private lake all to themselves. Don Pedro with their $35 entrance fee will be making record profits.
Excellent question 896. Nobody's mentioned the aqueduct. The state is spreading the mussel from one end of the state to the other while charging us for a sticker.

Sure. If it happens then all of you will be bleeding over to the politics section just to read something that wasn't two weeks old.

Whoopbass

But you still click on it and probably read most of it. I don't understand that? We need content on here. Nobody wants to talk fishing. We all know how to do that. How about the Mod's put a "politics" sticky to get to the politics section in the fishing thread. That would make it easy beca...

Water in Ca is not the real problem. Ca is along side the Pacific Ocean. We should be removing the salt for the water we are short and allow our rivers and streams to flow more naturally But then we won’t need as many dams. No dams less bass waters Just go fishing while we still can is all I can sa...

Did you feel that way when Trump turned abortion rights over to the states?

What are you going to do when Newsom goes along with just about every little detail of Trumps water plan and when he does ask yourself why would he do that?
