So, I was watching FPT on Comcast Sports Network on 5/28. It had Vince H. and some man with a neatly trimmed goatee and hair under control. Who was that man ? I almost didn't recognize him. It was "old" Cooch, himself. I have not seen that man in years. Way to go, Cooch. I'll be down the b...

Wow, looking forward to getting on the water (Berryessa) after 2 long years. Hopefully, I'll have the stamina for 3 days of fishing.

Hey, Erick -
I see that you are still around here. I, just lurk now and then.
From my previous experiences, use minnows and fish in the south.
Try the area close to the Redbud launch ramp (especially to the right).

What's with this "Instant Winner" ? I ave been hit 2 times, when I enter this forum.
I have just been ignoring the notification, they request your email, address etc...
leads me to think that they want to steal your id.

drinking plenty of home made soup. it is easier to drink soup than to try and eat solids. when the throat feels better, then you can try some solids. there are plenty of nutrients in home made soups.

Cuccia - you didn't even bother to stop to say "Hello" to me. You just indicated length of fish. You probably thought "Just a bunch of kids on the dock" hollering Cooch - That was me. I was at Judi's cousin's house on Sandmound for Labor Day. One of the kids caught a 18" str...

Hey, Seaters: Putah Creek is open for launching. $20 weekends and $15 weekdays. They have over night camping - very rough - out houses, and using the old concrete pads of trailers. Markley and Pleasure Cove are open - that's it. Steele Park, Spanish Flats, Berryessa Marina, and Monticello are still ...

I'm surprise that Stickbait didn't bring the above up. There is no correlation between the two. The boats from each flight must "Check-in within the 5 mph zone in the designate marina by flight." The weigh-in is not flight specific and the cut-off time is determined by the WEIGH MASTER or ...

Greg. Sorry to hear about your health problems I did the same - only sold off the boat, & 7 rods & reels. I's starting to feel better, so, my plans are to hire, Cooch, Rich Thiel and B. Barrack for some fishing in the DELTA and to visit with Jay Liu for some fishing at Shasta. I, just don't ...

I've installed one on my Champion back in 1999 and it still is on. If you plan on beaching the boat, then it is worth it.
Not sure of the skeg guard. The paint do wear off, but I think that it is a trade off between the paint wearing off and the holes you drill to attach the skin.

One of the original Nutcase Teens (Peter Lloyd) is now located in Phoenix, AZ - maybe he will begin posting on what's happening in the area. He has been fishing from a kayak and now a whaler.

What do you say, Peter.

R U sure you want to buy a new Tacoma at this time. I use to work at Fremont when it was GM when they were closing down. There may be quality issues with the Tacomas from the NUMMI plant. There is also a rusting issue on the Tacoma frames at this time Towing with a V6 is OK, except for hills (up or ...

No wonder - that is the outlet capitol - extreme low prices -
I have not been there in 20 years, so it may be a bigger outlet mall now.

Sorry, no one that I know - I haven't fished tournaments in about 8 years - since, my health went south and I took up golf - then, I go out with an old friend in Aug., 2009 and found that I miss my fishing too. So, when I'm thru with my treatments, I will be out fishing and playing golf again (end o...

Have you all notice that on KPIX 6:30 PM edition that Dennis O. have been featuring bass fishing ? It's about time. Whoever convinced Dennis O. to feature bass deserves a big congrats.

If you did not fish the tournament, why would you want to know the payouts. The participants know who won what. Is this a fantasy for those that are obsessed with the payouts ? or is this another critique of the tournament org. pay out policies ?

Go fish and enjoy,

I'm up in the Highlands, behind CSEB.
Check NADA for a possible value on the boat, motor & trailer.
You will get a High and Low value, but expect low balling from potential buyers.

Good Luck,

I decided to keep my boat, after a few parties express interest but no real offer. Then, I took the boat out with Peter Lloyd to fish and thought "What were you thinking. This boat runs excellent, it's paid for and I don't need the money." So, it sits in my driveway and I plan on taking th...

Tepic is a great place to stay - better acommadations and food. It's approximately 35 minutes from the lake. There are only the boats & guides from the resort. You can hire them for 1/2 day. You will catch plently of 3-6 lbers. The lake reminds me alot of Pedro or Oroville, but without trees. Ta...

Man, I forgot you live in AZ now - I was in Gilbert all last week. Had to go to show art festivals and art shows in Scottsdale. I didn't even have time to travel to Bass Pro or Cabela's.

Who control's the state legislature ? Democrats !!! the spend and tax party (use to be the republicans).

Hi, Mark Seaters: How's the Mrs. ? I think of you two all the time. Actually, I think about all the Nut Cases from #1 and Amador.

Hi, Fred:
I had some health issues and cut way back on fishing. Then I learned to play golf and really loving it. Not good at it, but still love it. I still have my boat, but it only sees water about 8 times a year (primarily fishing the Delta).
Happy Holidays and Good Health to you,

I was there, fished out of a brand new Ranger - Fred, just took delivery the week before - his boat was the muddiest - Dana had some awsome "clam chowder that was made by ???" do any of you remember - Cooch makes the best Italian Sauages. There was chilli too. Smileee [quote="stickbai...

Thank you Cooch, for giving me my 1st jig lesson in 1997. I just now have confidence in pitching and flipping a jig.

Is R&B still in business and where may I find them ?

So, with several resorts due to close after July, 2008 (Putah Creek, Rancho Monticello, Berryessa Marina, Spanish Flat) there will not be any direct access to services in North Berryessa.

Our club in SF died because of this same attitude from some of the non boaters. So, a few of the boaters stopped participating in the club events and the club just became defunct. For you non-boaters out there, a beginning contribution to the boater should be $35 minimum, and now (with gas prices th...

is this a shared weight PRO/AM ? Talk to your PRO - this is a must ! He will advise you on what his plans are and what he expects of you. from my past experiences; 6 rods, but 4 rods will surffice in the boat - each rigged with different baits (check with Pro). lunch, snacks, water small tackle bag ...

Del Valle, Lake Chabot, Lafyette, Quarry Lakes & San Pablo have a rule that states "Boats must maintain a distance of at least 25 years from any shore that have anglers or people." This is a recreational park district rule for East Bay Regional Parks District.

I prefer staying in Area "A" at Fleming meadows. Restrooms & Showers are cleaner because the RVers use their own. There is a aera in front that you can park your trailer (near the check-in). Area "B" water side lcations would be ideal, especially if the lake is full, you can ...

Good Luck with the job interview in Phoenix. I visit PHX about 4 times a year - My daughter is there (Gilbert).

then it is about time for all of you that are wronged by rude tournament fishermen to log a formal complaint with the tournament director and tournament organizations. the tournament organizations should not pay out immediately after the tournament, but wait 24 hours after the finish to payout. ya, ...

DO NOT FISH !!! until u have clearence from ur oncologist.

I too, was disappointed with Cabela's (Glendale, AZ) vs. BSP (Mesa, AZ). But, if you are into hunting then Cablea's is it for you. Cabela's bargain cave was not a bargain. I have to admit that you really cannot compare the two because they donot have the same focus - one focuses on hunting and the o...

I replaced my Champion cover with one from Cabela's - cost of Champion = $740.00
Cost of Cabela's = $230.00
The Cabela's is warrant for 7 years. I figure that I can purchase an additional 2 covers from Cabela's with the difference.

Don Pedro - Fleming Meadows - plenty of shade, hot showers & flush toilets.
I use to take my family and friends there and the women loved it because of the clean restrooms with hot showers. My son would walk and fish the shoreline for bass - always had fresh fish for dinner.

Well, after giving up golfing 4 other times (started in 1968), I've picked it up again and really enjoying it.
