SOLD THANKS

Yeah you're right, we buy so much stuff we couldn't use them all if we tried. We take out 10 or more rods when we go fishing and end up using 2 to 3 at the most.
Thanks for the response.

What's wrong with the Premier? I thought they were one of the better baitcasters. Is it not as good as the new 'Curado? Just wondered, because I see the Premiers are $200.00 new!
Thanks

survivor

Say Stubbs, they will fit all the curado's even the 300E. It just take a little time and a lot of effort. I have them on all my Curado's and Revo's. Just my 2 cents.

I have two heavy for punching, swimbaits or flipping. Also have two cranking rods, they all work very well, plus they're very resonable. Just my 2 cents.

Kent, tell me it ain't so, that's not really you is it? I'm laughing so hard, I can hardly post this......

Hey folks what knot do you prefer to tie your flouro to your hook, crankbaits, punching etc.
The Trilene Knot
The Uni Knot
The Polamar Knot
The Snell Knot
Thanks for your opinion!

Yes, there are plenty of smallies there. When you launch, turn right and go straight across to the other side. Look up on the hill and you'll see a barn, look to the left and there will be a bay full of rocks and smallies. Use 4-6inch worms on darter heads or shakey heads and hold on, not huge but f...

Say Wolfman, I didn't say foxy behind. Butt I have to agree with you.

What do you use mostly to punch in the Delta, using the 1oz. to 1-1/2 oz. Tungsten weights. Brush Hogs, Chigger Craws, Zoom large worms all the above or what? Thanks guys.
Paul

Some of you already know this, but this is for the folks who haven't. These will cost very little to make, all you need are 2" sprinkler pipe/fittings or a milk crate and tie wraps. We all need to save money the way things are going with our brilliant government. Take a look, the pictures shoul...

survivor

This reel is top notch. I think it's a race between Curados and Revos. Both are great but it's hard to beat the quality and price of the good old Curado 200E. They're the same size as the old 100D and the E's are lighter plus it holds the same amount of line as the old 200D. Curados first, Revos sec...

Your kind words regarding Jim(Peet) Peterson on your show really was great. Jim touched a lot of people in his short life. Jim used to ask me if your show was scripted, I told him no, that's the Real Kent Brown no frills attached. Again thank you, especially from Connie, Jim's mom, we all really res...

survivor

Hi gang, hope all had a great Christmas! I recieved some reels for Christmas and I would like your expert opinions on which reel is better, and why? The Curado 200E7 or the Revo STX HS. I like to keep all my reels the same. You know us crazy bassfishermen like to be matched, boat with truck, hat wit...

Thank you guys for your good thoughts, prayers and support. Jim or Peet(which the firefighters called him) was not only my son, but my buddy and my fishing partner. Jim got to go fishing for the last time on his birthday Friday the 12th.(with the help from two wonderful firefighters) and passed on M...

:) As most of you know, Jim(Peet) Peterson, my son has pretty bad cancer and would love to go fishing again, but not having any solid food for months plus tons of chemo treatments, make him pretty weak. Guess what, the Sac/Metro firemen are going to try to take Jim out of B&W this Friday(which h...

Awwww shucks guys, I'm turning red but you can't tell since I'm brown,

LOL. Don't even know what was posted! Whatever was said makes no difference to me, but I appreciate my old, I mean young buddies standing up for "WHATEVER".
Thanks guys

Greg thank God youre' okay. My fireman son, Jim, has bad bladder cancer, may be stage 3. But we have the greatest hope Jim will be okay. He has the greatest healers of all, the good Lord, family and all his brotherhood of firefighters praying for him. I had two bouts of cancer and was supposed to di...

survivor

:D I have just as much fun as you do using my expensive rods, reels and lures. I have fished for bass since the early 60's and have used all the lures you're talking about, the hula poppers and the lucky 13's. But now that I'm retired and have sent all my kids through college, it's now my turn to bu...

Cannot believe the Bee had nothing on the front page. After all the people that were lost, there are so many people that just blow it off. What's wrong with this nation? God Bless America, I'll never forget 911, guess I'm old fashoned that way.

What's your favorite lure to use when punching the mats in the Delta?
Thanks

:oops: Folsom can really humble me. I generally run up to Camp Far West to prove to myself I can really catch fish. Sometimes the Delta will punch me right in the head :shock:, one day good the next, can't even buy a bite. Sometimes it feels like I couldn't find my butt with both hands. :oops: :oops...

Went out of Hobie Cove, easy lauch, only 6 trailers in the parking lot. Found out I only had my Delta stuff on the boat, tried to dropshot with 17#test, but it doesn't work, but I did get a shot, take a look, pretty cool huh? This is one of the perks about going fishing.

HEY HEY HEY, It's all a mote point guys, the 5mph starts tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey can't we all just be fisher friends? Lice no mas! Now let's go to Folsom and jam around at 5, MPH that is. Just my 2 cents.
Paul aka survivor

Why don't you call him and ask him? The boat is absolutely loaded with everything he could upgrade. The top of the line graphs, the top of the line trolling motor, upgraded to the biggest motor with a sst prop etc. John asked me to post his boat and that's what I did. John's email and telephone are ...

:D It was just under 8lbs. Jim had a banner day, he caught fish on worms, kreature baits, flukes, rattletraps and poppers. Jim caught over 25 fish, he even beat me. Jim won't be able to fish for quite awhile, due to his upcoming cancer surgery, so I'm really happy he had a great day on the Delta. He...

:D Way cool, this never happened to me before. I just attended a "SHAVE FOR THE CURE-AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY" fund raiser for American Cancer Sociate put on by the Sac-Metro fire departments and I'm now bald(cold on my noggin). My son Jim(Peet) has cancer and the guys all went and had thei...

Scott we are so sorry to hear about your loss, my heart dropped when I saw the newspaper this morning. Our family is praying for you and yours.

:) The spawn is on. Water was up to 68 degrees, check out the back of the coves, hard to see the beds, but they're all over. Mostly males right now, but sure is fun. The bigger females are probably out in deeper water right now. Used shakey heads with 7inch worms, color was no object. A ton of fish ...

:D Go with the 102C, that's what I have on my bow, you're able to see it well in the sunlight, try to mount it using the RAM mount. That way you can always adjust it so you can see it clearly in any light conditions. I love it, as one gets older, as I am, your eyesight isn't quite as good as it once...

survivor

:D There is no reason the spots in CFW won't eat swimbaits, even if they're rainbow trout colored. Try using a smaller swimbait such as the smaller Castaics or the smaller Mission Baits or the Double D swimbaits. Bass don't normally strike at a swimbait because of it's color. It's more of the realis...

survivor

For the Mission size swimbaits(LA Sliders, midsize Castaics) I found the Shimano Curado 300 is a great reel for that application. Again the Cardiffs are good and I've seen guys using Abu Garcia 6500C4 for swimbait use, this doesn't count for using the Huddlestons or Triple Trout, that's another stor...

:shock: I'll take some poop shots tonight after work. The critter only chewed on a polypropelene box handle and some bites out of the on board charger plug wire, weird huh? So far some of the solutions included, Spearment oil Pepperment oil Bounce dryer sheets Moth balls, may I'll make a concoction ...

Hey guys anybody have a solution to critters chewing on my wiring in my boat? All suggestions are really appreciated!!! HELP,
Thanks

Use American made swivels, use the smallest ball bearing type. The cheap ball bearing swivels do not work smoothly. Just my 2 cents.
Paul aka survivor

survivor

use a swivel on your dropshot, the worm or whatever you're using will spin when you drop the rig down. This is what causes line twist in a big way. To start use one hook, put the swivel up 12 inches and the bait up 12 inches from the dropshot weight. Don't be afraid to use 1/2 oz. weights, it get th...

Sorry to hear about your dad, I know how bad that feels. Here's my no wet feet solution. I have a high front bow, so sometime I need to get in the water. So I bought a cheap pair of waders and threw them into my boat, no more wet feet if you have to jump in to straighten up the boat on the trailer o...

Use Power Pro braid 30# and you will not lose any fish. Just my 2 cents.

:D Launched out of Paradise yesterday. Started catching fish right past telephone cut. Fished all the way to White Slough, using green Yamamoto 6 inch crawdads to flip into the sparse tules. The second best bait was a 1/2 oz. spinnerbait thrown through the weeds. Caught a lot of fish up to maybe 5+l...

I understand that Alan came home and had another issue and had to go back to the hospital. I don't know the details, if someone on the board has the lowdown, please let us know.

Hey what cha' mean like an old man's foot, I'm an old man and my feet smell like roses, of course my nose is going bad. Quit your whining, just soak your whole arm in Lysol for a while and it will kill all the stinky bacteria, which is causing the aroma, hehehehe.
Paul aka survivor

:D Also, I didn't see anyone suggest. Try backing up in neutral and let the boat pull you back. That way if you accidently hit the gas you won't end up in the drink. Plus I found you have more control as you're backing down. Just remember, slow, slower, slowest. After a few times it'll be a piece of...

Alan, mine and Connie's prayers are with you, along with Lowell and all the rest of the gang. Get well soon, and as everyone else, if you need anything, just let us know.
