Ok Surf dog, We both catch and release our bass, but, I will happily put on a minnow once in a while just to take your three bucks

And as far as striper fishing, yea, I will use a minnow,....... mainly to take your three bucks

If saltwater intrusion reaches Stockton, how long until the saltwater starts contaminating the
ground water supply (well water) in the region? Is this something that could happen? If so, then what?

I have a Motorguide 67lb cable steer. Looks brand new, low hours with a gator mount. 45" shaft.
$350.00

I am interested. Any chance you will be near Monterey Bay area in near future,
or even around Gilroy to San Jose area? $160 sounds good to me.

Look at the transom from inside the hull to check for dry rot and check the floor, mainly in
front of the driver / passenger seats to check for rotten wood. This will only be a problem
on older boats that still have wood in them. Good Luck!!!!

Don't feel bad Derrick, when I fished out of the bass boat most other bass boat folks would wave or at least wave back. When I fish out of the aluminum boat, many bass boaters won't give me the time of day, much less a wave. But there are still some friendly folks on the water, you just have to wave...

Another question would be "what happens to the ground water when the salt water gets all the way to Stockton"? How long until the salt water starts making its way to the underground aquafirs? Will this happen? If /when it happens, how deep will well drillers have to go to get fresh water? ...

Pics of San Antonio at 5% looking from Harris Creek toward dam. Dam is not visible, it is about a mile or so past the cove on far side of pics.

norththird

San Antonio does NOT have white bass. San Antonio is at about 4% capacity, and yes there is water. More water than you would think. But, LAKE IS CLOSED as of July 1st. The pool of water goes from Harris creek to the dam, and is boatable, just nearly imposable to launch a boat off a trailer as the la...

Hey SurfK9, There is a small shop in the oak studded rolling hills North East of Carmel that is very good at these things. I think that it is called "D Lures". Pretty handy with these kind of things.
Good luck!!

norththird

Way to go Surf Dog, sounds fun!

norththird

Try some sinkos and hogs. If the bite is slow, try a suspending Mclure in baby basturd color with a McCrap trailer. Good Luck! Let me know. DS

A ski pole, a prop and a bimini top on many bass boats makes a nice fish and ski. Thats what I did. Only bummer is the three person seating.
Still nice to ski behind as most bass boats have a smaller wake than other boats. Have fun!

Cool stuff sTony, thanks for the info.
johnsonfredral,........... HUH?

Change your cables. The sooner the better. A cable breaking at speed
can be a bad bad thing that can hurt or kill you. It's not that hard to
change your cables on a lot of boats. Good luck.

I have a buddy that only bait fishes at the two lakes (every weekend).
He has not done very well this last three weeks, only a few small ones.
Forebay has had a lot of traffic on the weekends lately. You might try flukes in the upper lake. Not much help but thats all I know, good luck.

These Mexican pirates are robbing unarmed fishermen. As it is now, there is no deterrent to stop them (like robbing old ladies). They might be bandits, but they are smart enough to go after easy prey, they don't want to go after people who are armed and will defend themselves. The best defense is on...

"each additional fish caught must immediately be returned to the water alive and in good condition, or be used to replace a fish being maintained alive and in good condition from the participant's livewell or other suitable holding facility." "alive and in good condition" says i...

Yes, at times they do.

Thanks for the help Dan. Your info. and help are much appreciated,

Anyone know if there are any schools of stripers in the delta right now?
Any reports or suggestions would be appreciated. I will be fishing this week and might want to chase some stripers for a change-up from the
LM. I do practice catch and release.
Thanks for any replys,
Darren

It is a gimmick, but, I shined a laser in a fish tank with a 3lb bass
in it and the bass hit it so hard and fast that I never did it again.
I didn't want him to hurt himself (or herself).

Honda 2000 is about 47lbs. You can connect two of them togethere to have 4000w. The honda 3500 weighs about 145 lbs, hard for one person to load. I had a Colman 1800w that was so loud I would close it in the shed so I would not echo through the neighborhood when the power was out. I gave it away and...

A new opti 200 is around $13,000 and a rebuilt power head for the opti200 is around $8,000 with a one year warranty. A good warranty is a great thing to have if you have any engine probs (or when you have engine probs). I wish that I had a warranty when my motor blew, now I wish that I had a boat th...

Nice looking lures Rich, thanks for the info. Dont let a couple of sour faces discourage you.

I put a coat of Rejex on the boat then just wipe down with a damp towel when i pull out of the water. Some vinigar and water works well on the black motor for the water spots. Rejex has worked great for me as opposed to wax.

Never had any problems myself. They have a security guard that is there 24 hours a day and the launch ramp is pretty good. Nice dock.

norththird

Gold castmasters work well. If you catch any white bass, you MUST release them IMMIADIATLY or kill them. It is not leagle to have any white bass alive- period, not even in the livewell. I have had my livewell checked several times and the fine is not cheep. Early in the day they should be really sha...

In Monterey county you have to pay a personal property tax.
1% of assed value plus some special city taxes. I am sure that
it will probably get some more "special taxes" added in next year.

I had a transom problem years ago (rotten wood), my insurance rep. said that it was not caused by an accident they could do nothing. But he said that if i had hit a log or an underwater island thay could cover it. I would think that because a log was involved you should be covered. Did you try the i...

I just read the Cal. boating laws and it says " An aproved type VI throwable device which "should" be immediately available. It does not say anything about a rope attached or having to be on the deck. Could the website not be up to date or does the coast guard have its own interpertat...

Hi Pop, Not sure about just camping anywhere but you can stay in your boat with your anchor lights on. Watch out when beaching your boat. In a matter of 15 min. your boat can be beached until the next tide. The island at Orewood is a nice place to stay, thay have docks right outside your campsite. G...

Listed to Jimmy. Sounds like he knows. I've never needed a shock coller, nor have I ever given my dogs anything harder than light slap on the butt to get their attention. Labs just want to please.

norththird

I fish with my dog all the time. Yellow Lab. lots of fun, the dog even watches my line waiting for me to catch. But if you want to stay dry, get a breed that is not so fond of water.

norththird

The earlier boats that only had one steering cable would hook when the cable would break. But, we didn't have the internet to relay this information.

Get a Scarecrow motion activated sprinkler. It shoots a three second burst of water when tripped.

Any boat that has a motor (even electric) has to have CF #'s. I used to use a 8' pond boat with an electric motor and the ranger informed me of this more than once. He said that if it was under 16' and was only powered by oars or paddle it was ok not to have CF #s. Good luck, hope that this helps.

norththird

I have been using the new style for about four years without any problems. I always wondered about the trailer shock to the motor and transome with the old style. Plus it has never come off like the old style did.

I have not heard of any yet, but I did see a group of boats way out off of Marina state beach yesterday.

Squid are really dangerous preditors of the ocean and I'm sure that they like salmon. Many whales have squid attack marks on them. Sounds like a good possability to me.

I hear that the lake is starting to turn over now, and that there is a lot of slime floating around.But there is a decent amount of water in the lake still.

I know some trout fisherman that put coffee grounds with their worms a couple of days befor fishing, and swear that it works better that anything els. Could be good for bass also.
