Anyone think maybe there already in the lake? I heard years ago some of the houses sewage went right into Clear Lake. After they started the mussel plan 2 years ago and last year we had that toxic algae bloom which smelled like sewage....maybe they are already have them there????????????????????????...

The Gloomis GLX BCR893. It's long enough to flip or pitch senkos weightless. And it's super sensitive.

What if you can't make the Saturday meeting? Is it mandatory?

Fish a pro-am or local circuit. The co-anglers in the Series and Stren are very good, quite a few of them run 18-20 ft bass boats, and fish these events from the back of boats. They just haven't made the move to the front of the boat for this tournament. Some of the co-anglers will fish other circui...

You are correct. Shimano bought Loomis in '96, but all you did was solidify my point. Eventhough the Japanese own the company the company resides here in the United States, employing American workers, who spend their salaries in the American economy and pay taxes that contribute to the health and w...

This site had become too biased because of guys being sponsored ect. +++++++1 Exactly too many biased opinions based on sponsorship. People should clearly denoted they're sponsored by the company if they respond to a thread, also this site should stop hijacking. If someone asks about Steez vs. Glx ...

You guys are over complicating the issue. The company probably had a big loan out which is typically of a inventory company(sells product after it is created) has to pay the workers, parts etc. A payment was due, the company couldn't make the payment, which is a default so the interest rate went up....

BigBoy

Yeah Guys, Personally, i think most of the Team circuits have dwindled because they are catering to a small percentage of guys that want big dollars and a semi-career out of team fishing. This small group has also turned into a "locals only" sub group where they only fish 1 body of water ...

BigBoy

If you're concerned, fish a shared weight tourney, as you're a team. The pro is more likely to work with you because the fish you catch help the weight limit.

Mike Reynolds is a class guy and fisherman a true ambassador to this sport.

BigBoy

telling you we need an HBC satellite so we can spend 2 guys.....

BigBoy

I don't know which gloomis rod you have but with an 845 or 847 and a shimano reel i can throw DD22's all day.

Edge Water camp grounds. It has it's own launch ramp and dock. Ask for an RV / Fifth wheel space and you can charge your boat.

Hey all. Now that I will be boatless in the near future, I'll be hoping to spend some more time out with professional guides on the delta. My question.. What is the normal tipping rate for a guided trip? Thanks! Do you tip your plumber for fixing your toliet? Or your mechanic for fixing your car? Y...

Just a question, if mussels are all over lake Erie and Lake Erie is still one of the best small mouth fisheries in the country what's the problem? They'll up and down the mississippi, yet the Elites fished 2 events on it with weights going into the 80lbs. What's the issue? Does It really comes down ...

the CBR845 is a heavy rod for poppers, i throw my poppers on a CBR783 or CBR841. The CBR845 makes a good rod for a spook or sammy around 1/2 oz.

The money only goes to the top few teams because the numbers are never there for a longer payout. As numbers start to slide so does the payout and then it SNOWBALLS and pretty soon guys just don't feel like they will make a top 3 finish for a check. Stagnant, nothing new. Same waters all the time. ...

So if each of us donate $50.00, assuming 3k (1k entry, $2k expenses), our take will be $833.33..... With 1 in 50 winning. Almost as good as horse racing...... "Me generation"...Why do you have to have "a take"?? Why can't it be about helping out a friend.....have you ever done a...

isn't this like comparing a Ford to a Chevy....oh maybe it's more like a Ford F150 to a Toyota Tundra.

Isn't it personal preference?

BigBoy

Bass fishing is a hobby for most, for some it's a job. Anyone dropping $1k plus $2k on expenses for HBC -3 will either have sponsors or be pretty well off. If you check the roster for HBC-2 most of the guys had some level of sponsorship. Even some of the local tournament trails you're starting to se...

BigBoy

way the article makes it sound people will be able to ride along with the pro's. Sounds like they're doing the same thing the HBC does. Wonder if they'll stick cameras in the ride along hands..... or wonder if the seats in the boats will go the the company sponsors as perks.

I fish a single Powell rod and I think it's comparable to the same GL2/3 and mossyback rods. How do the Dobyn's Rod compare to the GL2/3/mossyback rods? Would you compare them to a GLX rod? Most of my rods are G-Loomis, so I'm biased already. But I'm looking for a flippin stick / heavy jig rod (1 oz...

Are you guys getting new stickers every time? Do they change colors or something to distinguish a sticker between April and now?

I have had issue's setting hooks when using the Chatterbait "yo yo style". I swear to god I had a bunch of very big fish just annihilate it when ripping it up and letting it drop at Coyote, I would set the hook as I would a jig but would not stick them. I did switch to a jig and get them ...

BigBoy

what's a good powell rod for a buzz bait and chatter bait?

BigBoy

was passing out baits at a tournament...Then he goes on The Bass Pros and spills the beans on bait and how he approaches different fishing situations...Amazing, most people keep things secret, this guys #1 in the world at bassfishing and gives most of it up...Very generous... Not downplaying KVD's ...

BigBoy

Used best for items like worms, jigs, carolina rigs which need to be presented and slack taken up quick.

I switch my spinnerbait reel from a 7 to 1 to a 6.2 to 1 and I get more fish.

BigBoy

given all the money invested in a bass boat it doesn't seem unreasonable.

BigBoy

then it's a good price. the economy is bad may take some time.

BigBoy

if you're doing it to overcome a childhood trauma, then seek professional help, otherwise don't worry about it. Wife and G/F can spend time fishing the back of the boat.

BigBoy

Does the price include trolling motor, and electronics? Does the boat include a cover?

BigBoy

I had a similar problem with a 332c on the console. I first redid the connections for all the power wires. Then I changed out the fuse in the fuse box on the ranger (not the 3amp quick fuse which comes with the devices).

Now they don't turn off when I crank the big motor.

Warm weather..... Lake temperature around 56 depending on location. on sunday it was cold, my car said air temperature was 41 degrees when we arrived and 54 degrees when we left in early afternoon.

What are you doing fishing the semi-pro if you're fishing WON as a boater and fishing FLW as a co-angler?

BigBoy

Cooch, thanks for the detailed reply. Next time I'm in the local store, I'll check them out.

BigBoy

Mr. Tuck great memo please keep us posted as it seems you've expressed the opinion of a lot of out of towners.

Some clubs may waive age restrictions. The general goal of a fishing club is to encourage learning. I'd recommend you into the local clubs.

I have switched over to the new Fenwick Elite Tech series of rods and have also joined their Pro staff. The craftmenship of these rods is awesome, and brings the expected attributes provided by Fenwick over the years. I love the sensativity and power of this line of rods, a great way to go from thi...
