Re: Apex Pro Series Wild Wild West

I'm surprised that after all these comments that Wild West has not responded. What harm can there be to the organization to state how much was paid to the top 10 guys?

Re: BBT TOC Location Announced! Two Days ... Two Lakes

No worse than Berry TOC? That is the reason you don't see many toc events at Berry. When you add another lake, the logistics make it more expensive and lots of miles on the road. Clearlake is great for toc events because of so many motels and places to eat. The lakes are fine, but it won't be easy w...

Re: Clear Lake Chamber Tournament

I think Dan is right. If you spent anytime on the lake last summer, you would know better. So many dead bass from 5 to 10 lbs, it made you sick. Great fisherman like Wayne and Paul only get 13-15 lbs tells you all you need to know. It is no longer the great fishery it was 2 yrs. ago. If they spray t...

Re: Oroville Fish Getting Smaller Year After Year 2018 vs. 2017 vs. 2016 WWBT Team Results

I agree with birdman. Nacineinto now has much larger fish than Oroville. Just look at ABA last week. 2 limits over 14, 2 over 13 and 25th place had 10 lbs! Must have been awhile since you fished that lake. No trout or salmon planted. Just a ton of shad.

Re: Unprecedented Clear Lake Fish Die-Off: Dead fish islands about the size of three football fields.

I think 66lbs. is a very good guess. My guess is if not 66, then less is more likely.

Re: Unprecedented Clear Lake Fish Die-Off: Dead fish islands about the size of three football fields.

I don't believe heavy rain and a big fire has anything to do with the fish kill. There was a large fire and very heavy rain around Lake Naciamento this past year. 100 inches of rain was recorded in the mountains around the fire. (Rocky Butte) I fished the lake from early spring thru summer this yr. ...

Re: Unprecedented Clear Lake Fish Die-Off: Dead fish islands about the size of three football fields.

Why isn't Calif Fish and Wildlife doing anything about this fish kill? They sure seem to care about dead fish at most large tournaments. Short hours during the summer, how far off-shore to release fish, any fish 5lbs or more in 1 bag, no long lines at weigh-in, etc. But don't seem to mind all the sp...
