I dunno bout Eastman, but Hensley closes to boats I believe at dusk. Is this isnt the case, I am on my way tonight!

heh, it isnt closed, just some of the parking gets gated at dusk. so your good to go.

I see more fish hurt/killed in bass tournaments than any young guy trying to fry a few. I only fish a few tourneys a year, but so many bass are killed, kept out too long, then tossed in the water. At least this guy is gonna eat em. Tourney guys throw em back and let em float. Sorry, but it is true. ...

anyone know where I can buy bass/fingerlings for a pond on my land?

For the record, my last name is Ignagni, not Inagi. We took second, and the wind was unreal, and if you werent in it, you werent catching much from what I heard. Great tourney, lots of cool guys/gals. Denise runs a great show.

Why dont you figure out the boats actual value and sell one ticket at that price for the raffle. Then it will be legal, and you can guarantee a winner for every ticket!!!

I am a bit tall, and my adjustable seat post is just a tad short. So a couple of years ago I found a Non-Adjustable post adapter about 4-6 inches long, I cant find it this season!!!!!! I just cant remember where I got it. I have looked everywhere, online as well, but the shortest I see is 11" l...

Answer is simple. As a rule people are friggin rude. You are much more likely to find what happened there from tourney guys. They are damn arrogant as a rule. I should know, I fish em. Sorry, I hope your kids caught some fish. Good on ya for taking your kids man.

a two part epoxy, dont use liquid nails or other contact cement. Two part epxy is best.

Thanks guys, so a month from now I can expect a good old fashion early summer pattern? Glad to hear it, I was worried that the weather slowed em down too much. And I have heard post spawn can be a bit tough. Thanks again for your imput, I will be fishing hensley, and then a tourney at anderson in Ma...

Hey guys, anyone know if the spawn is going on At Amador, still hoping it will be done by end of the month, I am planning a trip in late May, hoping to be back to reg bite. Any news??

Did the weather screw it up?

Turned out to be the switch, it got wet (probobly condensation) and just rusted up, and screwed up the connection. All is well, got it fixed, thanks for the help guys. John was great.

Only difference I see (have had both on my boat) is that the MInns are just smoother and quieter, seemed to squak much less.

yes I did pull it apart, and no, there wasnt a problem there. I will call the number you gave, I go past ceres once in a while. I can get there. Thanks for all your help guys.

I have noticed a huge power loss in my trolling motor. I have tried multiple batteries, and checked voltage to the pedal, etc, everything is fine, but the motor is just sluggish. It is a minn kota at55. Anyone have any ideas? or at least a place to service them close to fresno or merced?? There is n...

heh, good one, fair enough. But is the spawn on yet??

Hoping for the spawn to be done by mid may, I want regular bite for a four day trip. Any word on progress?

why would you do that? So some other guy can catch him/her a year later and break the record. This is mute cause it aint gonna happen, but I will be donating it to a local bass pro shops alive orit goes on my wall. I would hate to see some other guy/girl catch my fish. By the way, the next ten pound...

does anybody eat fish out of clear lake?not me If I catch a trophy, I am gonna keep the first one, and will let every other bass before and after go, and if you dont, bully for you. But I am no less a fisherman than anyone else cause I kept one lunker. GL everyone, and maybe you guys will get lucky...

This is such a touchy subject..... It is their right to keep the fish, even though its absolutley heartbreaking to people like me! I have never kept a fish over 3lbs personally, and those 3 pounders were kept in my earlier years. I know of one time that me and a buddy were out knockin some good fis...

Wow, :shock: I was going to let the regulars handle this one until I saw Bababass chime in. Sorry fellas, I'm not trying to single anyone out but I gotta go on this one. :x Please don't use what happened this weekend to support your theory that it is fine to keep these big monsters. If you want to ...

HEY GUNZMEN, WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING! WHY WOULD YOU KILL SOMETHING THAT AWESOME, LIKE A TEN POUNDER. REPOS ARE BEAUTIFUL IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT GUY DOIN IT. WHEN YOU FINALLY GET THAT TEN POUNDER AND SEE HOW AWESOME THAT CREATURE REALLY IS, HOPEFULLY YOU WILL RECONSIDER KILLING IT. MAYBE SOMEDAY SOMEONES...

I have been fishing for years, and have come close, but have yet to catch the double digit bass, but when I do, he/she is coming home with me for my wall. I dont condone keeping fish that large to eat, thought it is your right.. However I think the price of years of fishing liscences, a bass boat, g...

thanks for the info, does amador have one of those dead times after the spawn? Or do they get to normal pretty fast? I seem to remeber it getting pretty good even right after, with empty beds etc. reason I was so curious is my friend is flying in from Arizona and I just wanna make sure he has a good...

Hey guys! I am planning a trip to Lake Amador at the end of May, and am wondering/hoping the spawn will be over for most bass and that good pre summer bite will be on. Is the spawn started there yet? And if so, by the end of may (third week or so), will the bass be back to normal feeding? I realize ...
