Thanks
So sad.I remember throwing pencil poppers all day with non stop action.
Sad to see such an amazing fishery decline.Its like the stripers wont even come into the system.
I spend so much money in gas between my 200hp and expedition to get to the delta only to catch 2,3-5lb fish.
Or blank.Darn
r

raymond

I live a little ways from the delta and cant fish it as often as I would like.
How has the striper fishin been?
I love catching those things and I know how fun it can be when there in the system.
I just want to get up there and have some fun with them.
So im just asking--How it has been.
Groovy

Was just wondering what you think about the Frabil Stormsuit?I know alot of you been using 100mph or the Guide wear.
Just havnt heard anyone talk about the stormsuit.Is it because its not available in this area or is it?
r

raymond

Anyone know what the results are?

raymond

I dont know why but enjoyed reading posts about funky boaters,launch ramp ,mishaps, and idiots on the water on a major holiday. I read that there are bleachers setup at laurizens launch where people gather with six packs and evaluate what goes on at the launch. Actually i have learned a little bit f...

raymond

Wow that would be great!!Would the same bands from calero and coyote work for inspections?

I have a CMC Hydraulic Jack plate(Cook) and have a bad motor.Its a DCH 2500 and its discontinued. No motor or parts available.Stuck in the down position.Does anyone know of a replacement motor or someone who can repair? It sucks that there is no support from CMC in replacing these units.Or to replac...

Fished the FPT circuit at Oroville this weekend.Caught lots of fish and needed to cull many times(small fish). Anyways-at the end of the day XTools says I have 11.12lbs.Get to the weigh in and they weigh 10.60. Guess my question is--Have you found your XTools to not be accurate?If you have is there ...

That Frabil stuff looks really nice-not as bulky as some of the others.
But where do you go in the bay area to try it on?

raymond

I was curious as to the difference between these 2 units.Whatcha think.
Also if I was to mount a structure scan on my trolling motor do I need a 2nd lss-1
r

raymond

Thanks for the replies I got the thing working and then it stopped again,then it worked again.I guess transducers do go bad.Its funny that you can see all the structure but not the bait.Like it half works.Dont know how thats possible.Oh well

raymond

thanks kopper and kwik man- Yes kwik man all those settings sound right and i even played around with others. And kopper thanks for your detailed reply.I did switch the units around and did see an improvement. I thought it had more to do with the degree angle of the transducer. I used to have a skim...

raymond

Hey Everyone Gotta question about transducers. On my console i have a lowrance 332 color screen.And when i am graphing i can see bait balls and fish arches at say 40 feet. When I put down my trolling motor and try and graph those same fish I see nothing.Yes i see the bottom and all the contours but ...

raymond

8 months long time but i'm sure well worth it.Hopefully i'll get lucky but i'll remember winter time is talk nagotiation time. :wink: there are a couple screaming deals out there on skeeters right now, FX20/sho and a 20i/hpdi. There are places and people dumping there boats/inventories. What is a &...

raymond

Well what ever happens I would still like to thank you for putting on these events and keeping the sport alive in the south bay.Calero fishes to small and so does yote.Anderson can support a 30 boat field easier with good ramps and parking,even though the limits are smaller the playing field is more...

raymond

What are your dates for the water temps?

raymond

Thanks for the replies-Yes it sucks having to worry about alarms.
And thanks Gary for the info.Thanks for helping non pros like me
with our fishing experiences.Your a pro and you still take the time to help people out and I just want to say that is REALLY cool of you.

raymond

Thanks for the responses,its appreciated. I cant imagine running out of my room to face 4 tweakers who dont care if the alarm is going off and continue to take your sh**. I was hoping that the alarm would scare then off and I dont hafta get my butt whooped. What is the difference between the proximi...

raymond

I am about to purchase an alarm for my boat.I am looking at the Viper which supposedly the same as Clifford. All it has is a proximity devise that senses movement around the boat which is cool being that any looser wouldnt have a chance to even step onto the boat. It also pages you if it alarms when...

raymond

Wow, I can't believe some of the replies. We need bass fishing sport to grow and it's very interesting to know where the best pros in the country where fishing, what they were using and how they were using it. Most of the bass industry has been built on this. I am glad the best pros in bass fishing...

Right On guys Now-Who would not want to fish CL this week. PERFECT conditions.JEEZ If I weighed more than 50th place,it would be a hoot. If I weighed into the top 12,I would do a backflip(probally break my back). HOW FUN CAN THAT BE!!!! And maybe see some pros in your area that you can observe for a...

raymond

Where are the Elites launching at CL.
Might be kinda fun to go up there this weekend(great weather),and try and out fish them.
Gotta stay away from the traffic jam(so to speak)
r

raymond

Great catch.How about some specs?Lake?Depth?Was it really Feb?

raymond

I just returned from cl and those waves were no where near 5 foot. It still hurts my brain,wondering why people can turn 3 feet into 5 feet or a 3lber into a 5 lber. But it was,windy,bluebird and cold. My hats off to anybody that got a good sack on sat. Those guys are good fisherman and way better t...

raymond

Anybody know where the TOC will be launching from at clear lake this weekend?thanks

raymond

Curious about this lake.Reports say some big bass are being caught right now.Whats with the gang bangers and crime reports?

raymond

Thanks
i tried all the above except the smaller hook-will try again tomorrow-thanks for the replies

raymond

Anyone fish the new rage tail frogs-mine rolls over from time to time-on both the single tail and double tail-any suggestions?

raymond

Just looking for the closest place to rent near Konocti resort and spa,something easy to boat to the concerts and events.Hopefully with a boat slip.

raymond

Was planning a trip to Oregon and??????

raymond

Hey TonyM
Which year Stratos was the magazine referring to?And at what time did Stratos change there hull design?I have a 98- 201 Pro Elite and I have talked to other KNOWN owners in this forum who say they are very good in rough water.
Just curious as to the details of the article.

raymond

Had one break today,right at the line tie where it bends over.What sucks is I tied it on for the first time today!!!

raymond

You will feel that backseat?Does that mean you can fill that back seat or are there two of you looking for a backseat?

raymond

I am looking into purhasing a triton.Was wondering if there are major differences in the handling,hole shot,deck layout etc.I notice a deeper bow on the x2.Does it sit lower in the water?It seems the trx sits quite high on the water unlike say a Skeeter which is also on my mind.

raymond

I checked the search area but all suggestions were for pc.
I downloaded divx and see it in my applications window but everytime i go to westernbass t.v. only the quiktime logo shows.
I also have the latest version of quiktime.
Any suggestions?

raymond

Got an older stratus and the seats are shot.
I could re upholster them but looking for some with a higher back and cushier.

raymond

Just interested how ur carpeting job turned out?(for you boat deck)If u found someone to do it fot you?Or if you got any tips?

raymond

Well this guy wants to sell me his boat.
He lives in ca. but his boat is registered in ariz. as a non resident.
Supposedly there is a place on the reg form you check as non resident.
Says there is no problem and totally legal

Any thoughts?

raymond

Is it worth it to register your boat out of state?
No sales tax and luxury taxes
I have heard alot of bass guys do

raymond

Thank You
Got one more ?
When i take one out for a test ride what is the best way to try and get that boat to porpoise ta see to see if that boat has the problem?
thx r

sorry for all the?s
I was told the boat needed to be taken in and the hull reshaped

raymond

Between the engine and plate?
Wouldnt trimming the engine do the same thing?
How bad was the problem and when did it occur?

raymond

I was told that the Skeeter 2006 20i boats has a problem with porpoising.Is this something Skeeter actually recalled?How do they correct this?
If i was to by a used 2006 would skeeeter still honor the fix?

At what speed do you start to notice and how bad is the porpoising
r

raymond

Thanks to all for the posts, I guess i left out a little info on the boat i am looking for. Difinetly?(spelling) a 20 footer. I guess its hard to put all of the plus' of all the major names into one boat,there are always sacrifices. The rough water ride of the champion The sleek looks and layout of ...

raymond

Dont even think twice about installing one.I thought i would have to give up fishing because of my back.I instaaled the recessed pedal and i can fish all day.Not pain free but i can do it.

raymond

Just curious from the guys who either own one of the new boats or some of the non-boaters who have had the chance to ride in some of the new boats. I really like the way Ranger finishes there boats,ie;huge seats,padded deck But i hear they still are wet and rough I like the way the Tritons are layed...

raymond

I've been running a 98' 20'/200hp stratus for a year and i do like the boat.Its my first one and it seems to ride really well,and listening to others who have been around say it is an exceptional hull. I have rode in other boats but not in rough water.So i really cant compare(on the ride). What i do...

raymond

Put a hula skirt around its neck and you got a jig and pig

raymond

right on jrs71
my best day at calero was only 17lbs and that day i thought it would win any tourny there NOT
that was alot of pressure for that lake and i was surprised at the weights congrats hope i dont have to fish against you there
