This was absolutely the best of the last 4 events. Thank you Mike and Lynne, the Lake Elsinore Bass Club, and to anyone else who had a hand in putting on this awesome day. I know my fishing marines thought it was great.

Art H.

I delivered a very generous donation from the guys at Optimum Bait Company & AA Worms, to the Lake Elsinore Bass Club. The Temecula Valley High School Junior R.O.T.C. helped with the packaging.

I wish I could have seen the CF numbers, but because of the distance, his boat angle, and not to mention my bad eyes, I could not get them. Lets hope the marina staff got them.

Art H.

Usually I don't post much, but what I saw today needs to be told. While fishing on the north shore this morning, I saw two guys fishing close by in a white and black Ranger. The guy on the front caught a small "rat," and instead of unhooking the fish, he proceeded to whip his rod around a...

Art H.

Brian,

I will donate a full day guide trip to either Diamond Valley Lake, or Vail Lake.

If this is the same guy who has moved his shop all over Temecula the last few years, don't bother. Their service sucks big time, and your better off going to Anglers and getting it fixed right the first time. Where is this guy located now? I see he has moved away from old town.

Art H.

I watched it live, and it was awesome. Punk got what he deserved.

Were you the one's running around on Vail Lake last week, breaking in the new motor? If you were, nice boat.

Art H.

On another note... Maybe he's just playing "Weekend Pro" like most the guys on this site! You know the guys who wrap their boats, who wear Jerseys and who add company names to their sigs on sites like this one. You know, guys that donate their entry's and think their more then they really...

One of the nicest men I ever met. I will miss our on the water conversations at Vail Lake.

Wal-Mart, or any grocery store. It runs about $4.00 for a bottle.

Art H.

Guy, CLR is what I use, and it works great. I use it on my motor as well, and it comes out like new. The gel coat will look like you just had it detailed. My jack plate sparkles. Boat and trailer will look showroom condition. It has no negative effects on any area of my boat. For $4.00 a bottle, it ...

It is very tough fishing right now for numbers. I was there today, and the best bite was on blades. The fish were all good quality, not like the ones earlier this year. Water level is down, and dropping. Good luck out there on Saturday.

Not by me, not never! You can take that to the bank my friend.

Thanks for the heads up on the batteries. I did in fact have brand new Interstate, and Kirkland series 27's in my boat. Still can't figure out why they only lasted 3/4 of a day, before running out of juice. My original AC Delco series 27's would last 2 days easy. I know, stick with what works. :lol:...

Art H.

Art, Let us know if Costco can get the 31's for you, and what they wind up costing. Thanks, Mark I will do that Mark. I also checked all connections for tightness, checked all wires under the pedal, there good as well. I did not realize that the D34 was the same as a series 24 battery. That might e...

Art H.

The Optimas I bought, the only ones they had, was the M34 series. I will go back to Costco today and see if they can order me the M31 series. The original batteries that came with the boat when I bought it new, was AC Delco 27 series.

Art H.

I have fully charged the batteries, even charging them individually from another charger. There was no line on the shaft, but the small teflon seal was loose. Could this be an issue? Yesterday there was wind, but nothing more than the usual. I did have 3 people in the boat, but in the past, that was...

Art H.

I just replaced my trolling motor batteries with brand new Optima's, and yesterday I ran out of battery power at 3:00. This is not good! My last set of batteries from Costco lasted just about the same length of time. They were new as well. Here is what I am thinking, so please give me your thoughts....

Since this event is intended to help the servicemen have a good time & catch some fish, maybe you could share your thoughts with everyone. A lot of the boaters won't have the opportunity to pre-fish there. The reaction bite is still going strong. I had close to 30 fish yesterday on spinnerbaits...

Art H.

That's awesome Tony. Your guys are in for a real treat. Nice job!

Art H.

Very nice Richard.

Art H.

My thanks go out to all the service men and women, prior and current, for what they do for our freedom. I will never forget.

Call me tomorrow Ed.

I'm in as well. Remember we are fishing Vail on Friday Ed.

Art H.

I usually don't feel it until I try to get up off the couch, at the end of the first day of my fishing week. Now that is tough. My *** feelsl like it is glued to the seat. By the end of my week, and 5 or 6 days in a row on the water, I am not feeling anything. The first day is the worst. I am almost...

Art H.

What amazed me was the weight difference. They are much lighter than normal batteries. Now if they hold up better than what I was running, I will be happy.

Art H.

I bought the blue tops yesterday at Costco, and the price was $145.00, the best price I have seen.

Art H.

I just put 2 new Optimas in my boat. Costco had the blue top 34M.

Art H.

Thank again everyone for your comments. I will be purchasiing the Optimas tomorrow. Tried today, but they were closed.

Art H.

What I failed to mention that some may not know, is that I am a guide, and I average well over 150 hours a month on my batteries. I may be taxing them more than the average weekend guy. I do also charge them as soon as I get home. I appreciate the comments regarding the Optimas. Costco is getting a ...

Art H.

I am in need of replacing my trolling motor batteries once again, and a person very familliar with batteries told me to not waste my money on buying Optima. Is he wrong? If so, what color top do you reccomend. I have been told by others that they are awesome batteries. I have used AC Delco batteries...

Art H.

There was a 15 pounder caught yesterday at Vail. It was caught by one of the lake staff, who was fishing on his day off. The fish was caught on live bait, so it doesn't count.

On Friday there was an 11, and a 10 caught. One on bait, the other on a Senko. Those don't count either.

Art H.

I have not met all the members at Vail Lake, but the ones that I do know have way to much integrity to cheat. No one is going to get rich off a one day tournament, and if someone has to stoop to that level to cash a check, then they need to find a new hobby. My partner Matt and I look forward to se...

I'm in as well. This will be fun.

Thanks for all the information regarding cleaning my boat carpet. I went ahead and bought the Folex at Home Depot yesterday, and after spraying it on the stains, the stains just vanished. I did not even break out our carpet cleaner yet. I would guess it will look brand new when I am finished. The s...

Art H.

Thanks everybody. I appreciate the advice on not using a pressure washer also.

Art H.

Can any household carpet cleaner, or spot remover be used on bassboat carpet. What about stain removers? What has worked for you, or do you hire a carpet cleaner. I tried our home carpet cleaner, but did not get the results I was looking for.

Thanks,

Art
