Re: A funny story Ridin With Dee

I fished as Dee’s non boater for six years in the early eighties. Back then he was the undisputed king and everyone wanted a piece of him. And yes they spilled their guts. AND they all asked me what HE was doing knowing we practiced together. Of course I never told them anything. In all those years ...

Re: Dee Thomas

Dee changed my life. Nobody has had a greater impact on me than him. He was like a father to me. I’m not the only one. You all know who you are. I consider you my brothers. Dee’s service is going to be like old home week. I hope you all can make it.

Hds gen 1

So my gen 2 took a crap and I bought a used hds10 gen 1. The chart only works on Lowrance mode. My chip doesn’t work. I heard that a 2013 chip won’t work in this unit. I have no idea what year the chip I put in is because I bought it off a buddy. Should I try the chip off my gen 2? It’s frustrating....

Re: Thanks to all that fished 167 Boats at Oroville

I haven't been to a tournament like that since the nineties. And I saw a lot of guys who used to fish back then. It was like old home week. I love big tournaments! What a blast! Gary is bringing back the good old days. Thanks Gary. We will be at Shasta!

Re: Kyle Clement Memorial Fund Established

It sounds like a fine idea to me. Unfortunatley while I have participated in hundreds of tournaments I don't know anything about putting one on. If we could get some help in this area it could help the family quite a bit. Maybe someone will step up. Of course I will offer help in any way I can.

Oroville guides / watch out!

Just a heads up for guides using Lake Oroville. DPR now requires that you obtain a permit to guide on the lake. Cost is $75.00 per year. Two guys (that I know of) were cited this week. It's a hefty fine!
