Dang, sounds like you have the same luck as I do.

If what James Watson says in podcasts is true then he has a legitimate reason to call BS. Whether you like him or hate him you got to give him credit to stand up for himself and all the other anglers that won't or can't say what they NEED to say. Boyd has been given notice and it will be interesting...

If you can get ahold of Travis Huckaby he might be able to help you. He is the Navionics guy out here.

Turkeyman

What dates will you be there? I will be back from Utah on June 9th. If you just gotta catch a bass I can take you out on Saturday the 10th or Sunday the 11th..

Turkeyman

Hopefully something simple, you say the relay up has power? Possible a check valve or something like that.

Fast Eddie, I was told the same thing about Dee from Big George Hawley. He said it was the craziest thing that guys would be lined up outside their room and they would come in and tell Dee what, where and how they were fishing.

Turkeyman

He started in his Skeeter but had an issue with the jackplate halfway thru the tourney, he called us to see if he could change boats and we said yes, we met him on the water to check his boat. Not that I need to explain what happened but hear you go. Gerry, I think you explaining what happened is w...

The moral of this story is don't mess around with cats. I'm sure your reaction was to get the cat out as soon as possible; you should of thrown towel or heavy blanket over it to keep it busy while you opened the trunk. Like I said your first reaction is to try and help the cat. Live and learn. I got...

I heard that the same day they were to run the first day (Saturday) that there was a sail boat reagatta, another bass tournament (17/90) and that the parking lot was full. Guys starting putting their trucks and trailers on the road and were told they would be ticketed if left there. This is just wha...

I don't have a tandem axel but I've helped out a couple of guys with flat tires that have tandem axels. I went to a local junk yard and got a scissor jack from a wrecked car for $5. It folds nice and flat, stores in my front tackle compartment.

Turkeyman

It has always pissed me off that as a boater you have to pay a day use fee and a launch fee. A 75% increase for the people that use the least amount of resources at the lake is crazy. Not sure I will renew my yearly pass as I'm only 15 minutes from work to Blue Oaks ramp. I guess I can do Melones (2...

Turkeyman

Yes, the guy who owned the company passed away earlier this year. Buy any you can find. I spent over $300 on spinner baits when I found out.

Turkeyman

I think you would be fine with the 150. However for resale it would be worth more and have more interest from a potential buyer if it had a 200hp. You stated you love the boat and you not interested in running fast at top end so do what you feel is right for YOU!!! I had a 98 Champion 181FS with the...

Turkeyman

I joined when it was NCBF, a lot of good info was shared back then and great guys. Still stick around to see whats going on in the bass fishing world.

Turkeyman

Not sure about Mocassin but Blue Oaks is still open and usable. I can check on it Wednesday and let you know.

Turkeyman

Vheck your PM

We started using a system similar to bump boards in a 20 member small bass club 30 years ago. It was before smart phones so we used a punch card system to record the fish length. Your co-angler would verify the measurement. You turned in your best 5 measurements. If you where solo than you would we...

Quack Addict, in other words mis management of our resources by government.

Turkeyman

Whoopbass, yes my partner and I had 16.5lbs for 2nd place. His son and his partner took 3rd with 14.37. We had a great night with a consistent pattern that i found in the first 30 minutes.

Turkeyman

I was fishing Camanche once and this dude cuts in front of me literally like 30' away. I asked him "Really, I guess I'll just turn around and fish back over the water I just fished?" He said a few dick words which brought out the *** hole in me. I threw my jig up on his front deck and trie...

If the fish isn't fizzed quickly after its been caught, it will not make it after riding around upside down in the live well all day to then be fizzed after weigh in. Its quick and easy once you learn how to do it. I hold the fish under water and watch for air bubbles, when they bubbles stop. Remove...

Turkeyman

Look at Moon Lite, small but very powerful, plug into a stereo jack that you mount on your boat cap. Only problem is trying to order them as you have to go through a dealer as the do not sell direct.

Turkeyman

A group of us went up the south fork for an overnight fishing trip. Anchored all the boats put out lights and caught some fish. The next morning at the ramp we were wiping my boat down and inside the motor bracket where the trim piston is is a snake all curled up in there. It was a gopher snake but ...

Turkeyman

I called and talked to one of the rangers as I live in Merced County but not in the listed towns. He said Ill let you in. And I'm with you Manzo, lets plant trout on the day it opens so everyone stands next to each other on the ramp to catch them. Opp's nobody was following the rules about 6' social...

How does farming effect Selenium? The same way it did on Kestersen Wildlife Refuge in Merced County. In the 1980's birds nesting in the Selenium laden waters of the refuge were found to have deformities also. The water used to flood the refuge was from under ground tile drains that lowered the water...

I was fishing out of Tuttletown a few weeks ago and when I came back in from a day on the water I had a citation for expired “PTI” plate. Never knew mine expired. There isn’t a tag on the PTI plate so the guy had to run every license plate in the parking lot to find out. Pretty pathetic... took my ...

Sea Lions go over 100 miles up the Columbia River and are being stopped by a dam where they eat the salmon and steelhead that are trying to figure out the fish ladder. Fish and Game officials there are starting to euthanize them.

Turkeyman

I will be there Friday and Saturday at the Strike King booth. Hope to see you all there.

Turkeyman

If sake falls through Id like to talk to you. I have a 1998 Champion 181 fish and ski Id be willing to trade

Turkeyman

For me it's the up close and personal style of fishing, flipping, punching and throwing frogs. I fish the motherlode lakes mostly and catching a 2 pounder on a drop shot in 40' is nowhere close to flipping into a tule clump with 65lb braid a big ol' hook and getting bit.

Turkeyman

If you can't get one at Jimmy's, I think the casino will issue them 24 hours a day.

Turkeyman

Standard wing nut with battery terminal grease to prevent corrosion of cable terminals.

Turkeyman

Monte I'm with you, if I have to resort to a drop shot I've failed.

Turkeyman

Whatever they are biting on best!!!! Usually I've had the best luck with a high tide over grass flats.

Turkeyman

Second on Angels Camp RV park. Right across the street from Glory Hole Sports and entrance to the lake. Great people and nice camp ground. I usually stay in my RV but have had several friends stay in the cabins. Not sure if there is tent camping.

Turkeyman

Seems like Glenn always catches the big fish, eh Randy!!!

Turkeyman

I think the first time I fished it was in 1994 or 95. It was a 7 fish limit and we stayed in Woods Creek all night. I was resting my eyes about 3 in the morning when my partner stuck into a giant fish, we had no flash light and only the small battery powered black light about 12" long. I netted...

Turkeyman

Look at the new Lew's Super duty 300 wide spool. Holds 190 yards of 14lb test and has 24 lbs of drag. Great reel for $200

Turkeyman

with a screen name of 30-338, I figured you were a shooter.

Turkeyman

And 10 years from now when his Nitro is worth $20k and he still owes $50k on the loan he will wish he wasn't so stupid. Yup lots of creative options to finance a boat but one has to look at the life expectancy of our rigs and how we use them. Show me a bass boat that is 30 years old with the same m...

Turkeyman

Let me know just before you come out and I can give the actual weather trends and maybe a fishing report as I hope to be on the lake a few times before then.

Turkeyman

Taking my daughter to a farm pond when she was about 4 and smashing some giant crappies that I didn't know were in there. My son when he was about 7 catching a 6.5lb catfish, and last summer (now 22) him catching a 9 lb bass in a tournament for big fish and the win.

Turkeyman

Nice fish. That's a good big fish spot if it is where I think it is.

Turkeyman

Word has it the glory hole started spilling around 1 pm today.

Turkeyman

Make sure your transducer is centered when the trolling motor is deployed. Mine looked centered when stowed but was pointing to the left and would not pick up baits dropped down on the right side of the boat.

Turkeyman

For my worms that I use for drop shot, split shot, shakey heads etc, I keep them in the original bags and then put the bags into a small rectangular plastic box that I keep in the front compartment, I will then just remove a bag and keep it on the front deck or in a pocket and use until gone. Worms ...

Check with Lyle Gosset in Lakeport; I know he used to have a couple boats he rented. Not sure anymore though.

Turkeyman

You have to be versatile to fish here in my opinion. You can drop shot fish in 50 -75' of water on our lakes or flip fish in 1' of water on the delta. If you are going to fish all the water California provides then adaptability is going to be key.

Turkeyman

Nice job.

Turkeyman

To go fishing with Travis Huckaby on the delta one day. Or wherever
