Hard to beat Boatmasters for this service. They did mine motor runs great. I heard Boatmasters has closed or is closing soon Where did you hear that? I’m 64 and I know the guys that own it and they are younger than me. That’s a thriving business and if they are retiring, I’d be shocked if the busin...

I did my quagga online and they never came. Went to dmv and they said they were sent and I had to pay again even though I had receipt of payment. If you have receipts for both payments, ask DMV for a refund form. Fill out the form and and mail it with copies of both payment confirmations. They’ll s...

The exceptions to the card make no sense. You don’t need a card if you rent a boat and you don’t need one if there’s someone else in the boat who has one and is supervising you. Why not
let someone drive a rental car with no license or drive your car with no license, as long as you’re in the car.

Drink less and think more

If you’re buying a new boat, you might think about buying one that is on the dealer’s lot. A friend chose his colors, etc for a new Champion. He ordered it an put down his deposit the first week of October, 2021. As of last weekend, they still haven’t started building it. He has way more patience t...

Bring an N95 mask with you. The Salt fire, in Lakehead is still burning and depending on wind direction, you could end up breathing smoke all day

rico

TW is not a giant company, even though they sell a ton of merchandise. The staff has been cut back due to COVID. They're probably backed up with orders and I'm sure they want to get them out as fast as you want to receive them. 2-3 people can't do everything that a full staff can.

rico

Shasta is one of the worst counties in the state for COVID cases. They are trying to get a handle on the situation and they don't need people coming from out of the area and possibly bringing/taking the virus with them. Whether you agree or not, this is the right call

rico

A friend does it himself. Too expensive to send it back.

rico

This is a nice gesture on your part, BUT, why make the parents spend $25? If they can't afford to get their kid fishing gear, how are they going to come up with an extra $25, considering everything that's going on right now? If you want to give the outfit away, just give it away. Just saying

rico

New discontinued rods can still be found online, if you HAVE to have the one you broke. Of course, it won't be covered by warranty, but you're going to be paying for another brand anyway, why not get the rod you want

rico

Jay Liu is just a little further north in Redding. 530.246.8051

rico

How much extra room did you have with the 482? That should give you a ball park idea. Also, you might want to check the height of your garage door vs the height of the outboard. Some newer trailers are taller and I've heard of guys not being able to clear the garage door with outboard, even playing ...

It's a zoo, every ramp has been full every day.

Stay safe, stay healthy, STAY HOME

rico

I would get the 24. My friend has a 20, we took it on the lake when it was windy and choppy. Either he didn't know how to drive it or jet boats aren't made for choppy water.

rico

Bridge Bay is closed, as well as most of the hotels/motels in the area. I would call the place you're staying to make sure they're open. The lake is still open, but the parking lots at every ramp are filled every day. I don't expect the lake to stay open very much longer. Too many people right now.

Yes I have a 782 GLX I use but have not found a 722 in my price range yet.

just looking for an alternative at a little less price

Take a look at the BPS Carbonlite 2.0 JCT60LS $119

A heads up for those of you thinking about buying a Ghost. According to Lowrance, you will void your warranty if you use it in brackish water. Per Lowrance, "brackish water is where fresh water meets salt water." Does the Delta come to mind?????

rico

Anyone heard anything about the price? The new Garmin trolling motors are brushless and silent also and have a wireless foot pad and built in CHIRP transducer and they cost $3K. I'm expecting the Lowrance to be in the same ballpark.

rico

JL wrote:Yes! Two days later they were still flashing, one bank at a time.

What does it mean when only two of the lights flash, is one battery not charged? Do you have the owner's manual?

rico

I was contacted by Dual Pro today about my Charger. They say that this year's model is the one that the green charge lights will flash one bank at a time when power is disconnected. I never had seen that in any of the battery chargers I have ever owned. So is Dual Pro saying that when the charger i...

rico

If the charger isn’t plugged in to the wall outlet, there shouldn’t be any lights. maybe on the newer models the light is telling you that each battery is charged.

rico

BASS announced it has cancelled the two 2019 Elite Series events on the west coast, on the Ca Delta and Columbia river. It seems they were acting on the wishes of the majority of the pros.

rico

If you don't want to install another transducer, you'll have to stay with Lowrance. Call Lowrance and ask about their refurb units. They have brand new guts and the same warranty as new and you'll be surprised at the prices.

rico

I'm not saying this will work but I've used BarKeepers Friend to clean a lot of different things, including the bottom of frying pans. It's a powder similar to Comet and comes in a tall can with a gold label. You can get it at Walmart. Mix it with water to form a thin paste and let it sit for a few ...

rico

It's ironic that they have a mussel inspection at all, much less one that is as thorough as it is. In case you don't know, Del Valle is filled from the delta, where the mussels originate from the big vessels. The inspection should be like Clear Lake. As long as you have the fee, you're cleared.

rico

I don't see why not, they eat minnows

rico

All the signage that is posted concerning the blue/green algae says no contact with the water and to NOT eat the fish

rico

It looks like someone transposed a CF number when they entered it into the Casitas database. Hope they can straighten this out for you

rico

check out the reviews online. Several versions of the plastic clips are breaking and/or aren't strong enough to stay clipped to the fishes mouth

rico

They aren't in the Bay Area, but it's worth the drive to take it to Bragg's Marine in Anderson. 530-244-2545

rico

A sneak peek at what? I must have missed it, this video didn't show a new reel. That said, something new and exciting IS coming from Shimano. A Curado DC for $249

rico

A friend cut a length of 2X6 at a 45 degree angle and mounted the foot pedal to it.

rico

Switch to a braid/flouro combo. Yes, the braid can be expensive depending on brand but you're not going to be losing it. Your spool of fluorocarbon will last you a lot longer

rico

I don't need to take it for a couple of years, but I checked with my insurance company and they offer a discount for a completed class so I might as well take it now since it's free. No telling what's going to happen in two years

rico

I see there are 60 questions on the test. Does anyone know how many you can miss and still pass?

Found the answer, you need 48 right to pass.

rico

Instead of buying two $100 reels, why not buy a CI4? Then you'll have the reel that you're comparing every reel you buy to. Buy once, cry once

rico

hard to beat a pair of Muck boots. They are comfortable, warm and keep your feet dry

You can see 4 replicas in the store that are his also a Lakefork to compare to

+1 on Glen. Plus, he has a fast delivery time. I would not take a chance on having it sent. Drive up to Redding, fish Shasta and pick up your mount

rico

I have no experience with one, but how about a cheap dash cam?
