Has anyone mounted the R&R Design Eladder? I have just purchased one and wanted to mount it to my boat. I have a jackplate and the way the bracket is designed on the eladder the bolt holes line up with the bolts holding my motor onto the jack plate. I am not that comfortable with the idea of unb...

I purchased a used Min Kota with a universal transducer but it did not come with the adaptor cables for a humminbird.

Does anyone still have the adaptors for a Humminbird left over when they hooked up their lorance?

Gimpy

So the 787c worked fine on the front transducer locating the bottom? But not at the Console but the 585 works at both locations? If so you have a connection issue with the 787c and the rear transducer. That's correct. the 787 worked fine up front and the 585 worked on both. Since the interface to t...

Gimpy

Tested on the water: I pulled the 787C unit from the dash and placed it in the mount in the front of the boat (where I normally have my 585). The unit did not product the same clicking noise and registered the bottom / fish. The same as the 585 does. That made me consider it might be a bad transduce...

Gimpy

In my boat I am running two Humminbird units. A 585 up front and a 787 in the console. My 787 no longer finds the bottom always reporting we are in a depth of 400 - 528 feet. The unit is also producing a loud 'clicking' noise, assuming it is the sounder. While in the drive way: I pulled the 787C uni...

Gimpy

Ok, this may be a dumb question, but I have been using Humminbird fishfinders for several years. I was thinking of moving to a HDS5. I was about to make the purchase when I noticed someone is selling Lowrance GPS attennas. I had mad the assumption that the GPS antenna would be transferable from one ...

I was thinking of pulling my boat down to Lake New Hogan on Saturday. I understand the freshwater striper fishing there is suppose to be really good during the summer.
Can anyone confirm if it is a good place this time of year or any suggestions on where to fish?

Gimpy

OK.. So it is April 03. Can you give me a few more details?
What is the cost, expected launch time etc.

I would like to pass this information on to my bass club so I can try and get my club to come out.

Gimpy

Great Find.. but are they polorized?!?!

Gimpy

I had a similar problem with my old Mercury. It turned out the valve on my trim pump had loosened up. Once the motor was up it could not maintain the required pressure. So you might see if your trim pump valve is loose or if your trim pump fluid is low.

Gimpy

Going though some old tackle I found I have some 30 jigs in June Bug as well as several tubes and creature baits. It occurs to me I still have these since I don't really know the right time to be throwing them. I think I recall them being a good fall color but am not sure.. Any ideas?? If I paid for...

Gimpy

I would like to personally thank Korny for creating and managing the 100 % bass circuit. Though 100 percent payback and without a doubt the best run circuit out there had some really great appeal. But truth be told, Korny did so much more for this sport than most will ever know. Most importantly, he...

Gimpy

I also wanted to thank Jimmy who went out of his way to ensure that a team with a broken trolling moter (unfortunetly mine) had all the contacts available to get it repaired and went out of his way to provide us a push bar for the trolling moter just in case we couldn't get it repaired.. I also want...

Gimpy

D-Man,

I just wanted to thank you for putting up what was some really good information.

I have also been hearing down south with blk and blue jigs and green / purple worms.

Gimpy

raising my hand!
I haven't been fishing that long but have already found I have been using my journal to good effect.
I use a three ring binder with dividers for the different bodies of water I fish. Easy to keep organized and I can flip directly to the information I am looking for.

Gimpy

Ok.. upgrading my vote to 15.14

Gimpy

13.28
post spawn and way too much wind..

Gimpy

Both spots can provide great fishing. If you have been fishing big break it never hurts to try something new. Franks Tract (lauch out of Russo's or Sugarbarge) will provide you some great fishing without having to travel far to do it. Just fish the tuli islands and any weed beds you can find and hol...

Gimpy

Persuader makes a good walk n popper. The large size has been very effective. I use 14lb mono. I find if I use the braid I tend to pull it straight out of the fish's mouth.

Gimpy

I just came back from the 100% Bass WRL event at Clear Lake. It was one of the best events I have seen in a long time. Even though it rained all day it seemed everyone had a great time. The lake was actually generous and nearly everyone came in with a limit and practically identical 3.5 lb bass. It ...

Gimpy

The best club depends somewhat on where you live. But you might like to check out the Devil Mountain Bass Club. It is a great group of guys who enjoy sharing there success and lessons with anyone in the club. My first day there I was told that the club is dedicated to teaching and having a good time...

Gimpy

I just came back from Don Pedr, Though there are a few fish still on beds it appears the spawn has come and gone.

At the WRL at Don Pedro last weekend most of the fish have moved down to 15 - 20 feet and are now suspending.

Drop Shots and slow falling worms were getting hit

Gimpy

Snag Proof Open? I understood they were going to make it the Snag Proof Frog Tournement again.

Still sounds like a good time.

Gimpy

This is the first year I am fishing events. (100% Bass WRL)
Last year was the first year I joined a club.
Before that it was all fun fishing all the time.

Gimpy

It might be a bit of a commute but the Devil Mountain Bass Masters is a great club. They meet in Concord the first Wed. of each month.
If you might be interested please drop me a line at:

The DMB would just like to thank Bobby for taking time out of his busy schedule to come and talk at our meeting last night. We all had a great time and appreciate the tips you provided us on how you approach and target big fish on the delta. Any time you would like to come back please feel free to c...

Gimpy

Gator,

I'm sorry to hear you are leaving.. I am assuming it is for a good reason and hope you find some good water out there.

Gimpy

This is a great idea. Thanks Korny for creating another opportunity for anglers to support local stores and sponsors.

Any opportunity to get to fish in Texas with Rick Loomis is worth it. I'm looking forward to this years Texas Rally!.

Gimpy

Nice... I have fished the Rally at Texas for the last six years. For those who do not know, Rick Loomis is the premier guide on what is likely the best lake in Texas. I have been lucky enough to be able to fish with Rick on several occasions. You will not find a better big fish hunter on lake fork o...

Gimpy

Just want to thank Korny again for a great run on his tournament trail. I'm sorry to see it go and hope he will be back again soon. In the mean time I'm looking forward to fishing the WRL mountain region.. After this TOC it looks like the mountain region is going to be a tough and fun group to fish ...

Gimpy

Thanks... with all these choices it tells me one thing for certain.... I don't surf the internet enough to find these places...

Gimpy

If you want to catch carp in the Delta, just go to Discovery Bay and fish for stripers... I generally catch one or two a year with a spoon of all things.

Gimpy

Since I just can't seem to get enough hobbies, and I was gifted with several lbs of lead, I am planning to start building my own jigs. I have found the jig mold by Do-it, but I can't seem to find the fibers for the weed guards. I have check around bass proshops web site and Cabellos but have not fou...

Well as long as you don't 'tell on me' There is a couple of nice campgrounds right along the Merced river with some good trout fishing. along the Merced River. Camp Ground: Dry Gulch on hiwy # 140, also Sierra Flat campground $19 per night, plus $5 per extra car, max. 6 per site. These campgroud are...

My standard quote to myself as I pull out yet another rod "What this deck needs is another rod"... Though I try to keep it down to 6-7 on the deck at a time.. 3 flipping sticks.. (2 jigs, 1 plastic) 2 medium heavy rods (buzz baits / spinner baits etc) 2 medium action for top water / cranks..

Gimpy

I don't normally post here.. but this is worth it... Our troops are fighting for our way of life.. They deserve all the support we can give them

Gimpy

I took a quick look at the profile.. might be really good for a deep water flip bite.. with that tail causing a lot of vibrations in the water...

I'm not too sure about using it as a swim bait but wat a good chatter bait trailer!! If anyone gets a couple let me know how they work..

Gimpy

If you don't travel very far the new style is easy to use and store, but I feel better when driving any distance, especially over some of those bouncy delta roads with my boat / trailer / motor all moving as one unit vrs having the weight of the motor bouncing against the transom..

Gimpy

Thank you for the options I will give them a try. The process I took was to sand down a bit of the hull in the bilge area ensuring everything was dry and smooth. I used the recommended epoxy, throughly mixed it to try and work out the air bubbles. I placed a bit on the hull of the boat and some agai...

Gimpy

I have installed my Humminbird system in my boat. I tested the unit and the system prior to attaching the transducer in the hull of the boat. Everything worked well in the test then after the epoxy dried my unit now thinks I am never more shallow than 900 feet. When I attached the unit I followed th...

Paintball and fishing!! bring it on little boy..

Gator comes through in the pinch and picks up a HOG! Way to go.. now you can start guiding right?!

The DMB just finished 3 days of 'great' spring fishing at Clearlake. Though the conditions were not quite as expected for great spring fishing, we all experieced something new. HAIL / Wind / and Clearlake was showing her colorful side with 4 foot rollers! After hailing for an hour on Saturday while ...

Gimpy

As the one lifting all those heavy bags of fish to the scale.. I would like to thank you all for providing me with such a good work out..

Congratulations on all your good fish.. I will be happy to sign up for lessons at any time!

Gimpy

So is Fagan's like the Bridgehead Cafe or the Buzz Inn?
Both of which make an excellent biscuits and gravy as well

You forget in CA the money from the Gas Tax no longer goes to the roads. It now goes to the general fund (1980-85) with Gov. Dukemagian (sp). with the promise our roads would never suffer!!

Best Mercury Mechanic around would be Inland Marine in Antioch Ca.

Frank and his crew really know their stuff and do high quality work at a good prices.

Are you using the 'horny toads' or 'sonic frogs' or the snag proof frogs? Either way I have had good luck with all three. Generally they are really good during the hottest days of the summer when the bass are hiding under heavy laydowns or the open areas between the mats. I find the horny toads a gr...

Some time ago searching the clubs page I noticed a club that meets in Walnut Creek at the Diablo Hills Golf Course resturant.

I can't find any listings for it this morning. Does anyone know the name of the club? Are they still around?
