Hey all. Long time no see. Just wanted to pop in and say that I just got off the phone with Mark Goines and we were talking about this "Joseph" thing. Unfortunately, bad people do bad things to good people, and Mark is good people and one hell of an angler. I also had unfortunate dealings ...

As far as I know, there is an indefinate ban on boats: registered out of state, southern California, San Benito, and Santa Clara counties. The ban has not been lifted and will probably remain in place for quite some time, if not perminantly. You have to remember, lakes like Pardee and Camanche were ...

I plan on leaving Elk Grove early morning on Friday the 11th. Any VTOs want to rideshare? Got room in my truck for a couple guys. You can park at my house and we'll ride together to Clearlake. Or if you're right off of or near I-5 north of Elk Grove, I can pick you up. Shoot me a PM.

Plug in your boat as soon as you get back from fishing. Not sure about your charger but on mine, each bank automatically shuts off when each of my batteries are done charging. If your charger does not have auto shut off, you should unplug after the charge is complete. Leaving them plugged in and ove...

Yeah, but that win was still pretty gangster Jon.

hunterdave

rwderrick,

It's this Saturday June 21st from 9 am to 7 pm at Sportsman's Warehouse in Rocklin.

hunterdave

Hope to see everyone there. It's going to be a great time for the whole family!

Dave

hunterdave

Murph,

Funny you mentioned this....Jon and I were talking about the options before he signed up and he decided that if he went in the options, he wouldn't do well, if he did NOT do the options, he would probably win

hunterdave

I second that! Jon and I are team partners. Great guy and an awesome stick! I'm glad he decided to fish this tournament. I'm sure he is too

Mark,

Super Spook is in full effect! I'll post a report tomorrow when I get home...

I'm going anyway so I'll pay park entrance and gas. Anyone interested please PM me.

If you're in the area, Gordon Gee is top notch! He's at Sacramento Pro Tackle...(916) 925-0529. Tell him Dave Gorden sent you.

Dan, It was really nice to meet you and your son. It's always nice to put a WB face to a name. Your boy seems very excited about bass fishing and it's really great that he caught his first drop shot fish! Now that he knows how to drop shot, he's really gonna smoke ya :wink: I will definately be look...

hunterdave

Tin, I couldn't agree more! DEVILS :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: I recently increased the amount of fishing tackle/gear insurance on my boat. I went and did a full inventory of all my rods, reels, tackle, etc etc. Just for fun, I went back through the list and listed the appx retail and totaled it a...

hunterdave

Mark,

I've been out there several times since Memorial weekend and clobbered 'em. No signs of slowing either. I'll be out there tomorrow for another round. Average size 1-3 pounds but getting a few 4s 5s and 6+ here and there too. Oh and Dan, You should fair pretty well Texas rigging the MM III.

hunterdave

It's good for the tackle shops though...just like every other nutcase, LL or otherwise on WB I can't set foot in a tackle shop without dropping some $$$

hunterdave

Drop-shotting MM III (or any purple worm) 6" robos in the rocks up river. Can't go wrong with that! Be sure you are using floro...the water is very clear at Pardee....In some places you can see bottom @ 20'.

Marty,

When I had mine done last week the fella at Limit Out told me that I would not need another inspection until 2009.

Gator,

You ever decide you want to go bow shoot some carp let me know. I'll take you to CL and we'll go put the smack down on 'em. Now's a great time to do it too.

I think I feel the mid-week cold coming on.

I've got an open back seat at the "Dr's office" at Pardee on Thursday. Any takers? Shoot me a PM. I'll pay park fees and boat gas.

I just read Tony's article on fuel and ways to save at the pump. Carpooling is an obvious choice for the commuter to save money. The problem is, you can't always find a co-worker, friend, or relative to commute with. I am fortunate because my company provides me with a truck and diesel, so I have no...

hunterdave

No problem Steven. Let me tell you, comfort wise, they are worth the price! Plus they take up much less room when using and storing. I just leave mine attached to the kill switch lanyard and when I get up, I unbuckle it and it slides right over the back of my seat. Then when I sit back down to make ...

The Gorden family wishes to send you our deepest condolinces. We are very sorry. If there's anything we can do please, please ask. Again, we are very sorry.

Dave, Autumn, Hanna, and Dave Jr.

I don't think it really matters which brand. Both brands are very good and have very high ratings. I have a Mustang auto inflate and I like it. (The reason I bought the Mustang is because it was red and that matches my jersey colors) They do work! Funny story, the day it arrived I took it out, tried...

Make sure you blot the knot with snot so it won't burn or clot...

hunterdave

I'm going to send the remainder of the spool back to the manufacturer and see what they say.

hunterdave

Greg,

Naw...go buy the Seaguar. I've been using it for a long time too and will continue to use it. I think I got a bad spool. I was just interested to see if anyone else had this problem. I had a tourny this past Saturday and whacked 'em all on Seaguar Floro without incident.

hunterdave

Dan,

8# test, dropshot palomar, and it wasn't my knot. I always pull the line with the knot in my mouth, to prevent line burn. No question in my mind that it was the line. I've tied this knot a thousand times and never had this problem before, mono or flouro.

hunterdave

During the FLW Stren Clear Lake tournament, I had 3 line breaks in a row. All 3 were at the knot. (Dropshot palamar) It was brand new Seaguar Invizex line and it was not my knots. (One break, maybe, but not 3 in a row) After the first break, I peeled about 10 yards of line and re-tied. Caught anothe...

Typically a bloody tail fin is a sign that the fish has been "sweeping" a bed. But I have also heard the same as bassindon, can be a sign of stress.

Ha ha ha ha...that's funny. How much for the whole rig? I might throw in a couple bucks!

No, you can't get to that area you have marked. It's actually blocked by the causeway.. :D I've re-marked it for you. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=&daddr=38.243068,-120.973506&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=15&sll=38.243506,-120.97106&sspn=0....

hunterdave

Yep, Gordon at Sac Pro Tackle is the best around.

hunterdave

I'm from Minnesota and go back regularly for walleye fishing. I don't think that wacky rigging a 5" senko would work very well. Walleye are too finicky. However, drop shotting minnows works extremely well.

hunterdave

Brian's right..Galt or Lodi are the only real options. The Holiday Inn or there is a Comfort Inn on Twin Cities Rd, near the highway. It's about 20 min from North Shore. http://www.comfortinn.com/ires/en-US/html/HotelInfo?hotel=CA828&sid=1cYPM.xkV6mgdfCi.6&sarea=4679&sname=Galt&sstat...

Man, that looks like a great boat for those "hard to reach" places. It would make a great boat for Havasu....

hunterdave

First, make sure your livewell and bilge are COMPLETLY DRY! They are conducting inspections at both north and south shore gates. If you have any water in either, they will not let you enter. They do not have any decontamination stations available. There is lots of good fishing on Camanche. Start at ...

Thanks,

I use it. Seems to work just fine. Just be carefull and don't spill the garlic scented dip....

hunterdave

I got the CLTX731 MH for dropshot and I love it. Course, I caught a fish with it on the first cast of the rod, which happened to be my first cast of day 2 at Havasu FLW...so it's become my "lucky" rod. It has good action and is versitle. Used it for Texas rig as well. The best thing about ...
