Regretfully yours,

This is where making accommodations for kids are important. We have long recognized that fishing with your child is a bit of a disadvantage from a tournament perspective, but it is a deep and rich experience from a parent and child perspective. So for us, you can be the member and your son is your g...

If you can afford to have someone else do it, then you should. It is not rocket science, but it is a nasty, icky job. Carpet glue is not fun to work with or clean up. Also, it is worth it when buying quailty marine carpet. You can buy an inexpensive marine carpet from Lowes, but after you work with ...

#5 on the pause

Move it, let it sit, let it sit, let it sit and bam.

Have you thought about starting with a club tournament? It is a much more relaxed entry into tournament fishing, plus you don't have the big tournament fees to pay out. Several of our members will fish with their sons, but we make accomodations for them by letting them blast off later in the morning...

Now that Spring is here, the men of the Devil Mountain Bassmasters are cleaning out their closets and garages to hold our First Annual Devil Mountain Bassmasters Sunday Tackle Swap April 6th 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM 2 Sheryl Court, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523 This is a great opportunity to find deals on tourn...

Jon,

On this tournament, we are taking over the Ferndale resort. I have not been there before, but I hear that it has been upgraded recently and their web site looks pretty good.

Come on out, I am sure that we can find a back seat for you.

Tornado Dave

Isn't... aren't ... Oh well, chicks dig me and I am on big fish in the Delta. I fish with a great group of guys and we are having fun.

How much more could a guy ask for?

Tornado Dave

If you are a serious "fun" fisherman and looking for a place to connect with others that share your passion for bass fishing, then the Devil Mountain Bassmasters is the place for you. You'll discover a great group of guys that really enjoy fishing together. We don't suffer from club politi...

Wow, that was dedication to be out in that wind yesterday. I was planning to launch out of Sugar barge because of the tournament and when I saw white caps in Piper, I knew I would be disappointed. So I went and got some coffee and hoped it would lay down when the sun came up... no such luck. Dave

Tornado Dave

I have to agree with Mac, why would any find any richness in winning in a lie. Just like the guy in the story, he lost the closest friends he had for a few dollars. Most of you have seen the posts that I have had here for the Devil mountain bassmasters. In the last two years we have grown from 6 mem...

There is a place for a quality shop in the Devil Mountain area, concord, Pleasant Hill... But we appreciate having the Hook and Waltons.

First, I agree with Jigs, when you can afford it and have a quality, problem free ride. Look, if you are on fish, your back seat is going to be on fish too. As a back seater yourself, you know how to leave them some water. And you know that part of the charm of being a back seat is knowing that you ...

I was on the water today and fishing is tough in the delta now. Four of us were on the water today and only pulled 4 fish between us. There are fish to be had, but they few and far between. If you go, all you need is a jig rod. I would go to one of the lakes that holds spots and trout. This way you ...

Hi, I need a little help, I have a free weekend with the wife out of town and tired of fishing my usual Delta water. I hear that there is great bass fishing up near Sac. But I still have to figure out where to launch up there. What are the usual patterns and where should I launch? Thanks, Tornado Dave

You know many tourament fishermen have a difficult time with teaching and sharing, largely because everyone has their day and they are afraid that they are teach you to beat them. And they don't want to put you in a position to take money out of their pocket. A lot of recreational fishermen want a p...

All, I have been in the kitty with Stogieman many times and on Clear lake when the wind was howling and it runs great. As he said, it is a drivers boat and it will take some practice. But nothing that can't be learned. His boat is wicked fast. One day, we were coming under that train bridge near cru...

While a lot of progress has been made in the last few years with regard to boats that handle rough water, Champion is still the name in that catagory. Most of the other boat makers make good products to meet your needs, but it is not all about the boat... First, start with a deeper vee hull, that is...

So where would you suggest that we go and with...

I realize that prices will very, but what is the ball park of having a boat wrapped?

Okay, so my wife talked me into getting a sailboat and we have it out in Martinez. Needless to say, the 7.5Hp motor is ideal for trolling or anchoring up in that area, but I don't know where to start.

Help me please, that slow sailing pace is killing me...

I lost my last VPR Titanium spinnerbait the other day and it looks like terminator is the only one still making a regular titanium arm spinnerbait. The terminators catch fish, but I just don't like them... I just want a tandem willow, white spinnerbait. Does anyone know who is still making them? If ...

Waltons is a Devil Mountain Sponsor and gives us a discount for our members. I like John because he a smart buyer and carrys the "right" tackle. Plus, he is very diverse and can set you up for lakes and the delta. I have pulled a map with John and we "trade" knowledge of a given ...

First, the Nada guide online only shows the low and average book on a boat. So as a rule of thumb, add 15-20% for high book. Second, Nada is a guide for lending companies and typically they will lend 110% of the nada value, but nada is not always in line with bass boats. In fact, most of the time it...

It is an exciting time at the Devil Mountain Bassmasters. After our Delta tournament the Angler of the Year race drew tighter. Everyone brought fish to the scales with 4, 5 and 6 pound fish hoping that today it might be enough. But the last boat to come in held the winning 8.5 pound beauty landed by...

While opinions vary, I have a couple of things that can help. If it is a speed presentation, cranks, spinnerbaits, chatters, topwater, mono is fine and change as needed. All of your slow presentations use Flouro, worms, jigs. drop shot... The second thing that you can do is use a green mono backing ...

All,

A buddy of mine is having a problem with his motor and needs to have a cylinder re-sleeved and I understand that this is right up Lyle's ally. Does anyone have a current number for me?

Thanks,

I can tell you definitively the answer is NO, it does not meet the current CA emission standard. But depending on the body of water, it may not make a difference. Lake comanche was suppose to be a 4 stroke only lake, but they quickly gave up enforcing it after it ruined the local economy. The delta ...

If there is a spot open, I would throw a jig on the bank and then pull it into the water and work it several times. If I don't have access to the bank, the senko is the ticket.

Wait a minute, what time is it? Morning? The popper could get the call.

I agree with the other guys on this post, but there is more to fishing tournys then just the ability to catch fish, that is a given. If you are the boater, you are expected to choose the water and it is a dominant position in the boat, that also means that you have to contend with a sometimes domina...

Keep everything a tight secret, even with friends, they can cost you your glory This is why you want to start at the club level, because there is a sharing of information at that level. Bass fishing is a lifetime passion and you can grow as fast as you want to grow. But a little shared knowledge ca...

Tornado Dave

JR,

Yeah, while some of us have seen him speak before, our membership is really looking forward to this meeting with Cooch. Having Cooch also encouraged people to come and check out the club. Our room at the Greenery in Walnut Creek comfortably holds 30 people, we have about 6 seats open.

TD

Tornado Dave

Well it all depends, Cooch is a great guy and a real pleasure to work with. We buy him dinner and encourage the membership to book a trip with him. Because the best lessions are learned on the water.

Dee on the other hand, we chose to pay a fee over buying him dinner...

Tornado Dave

Great..., I was there yesterday while in Sac, I paid tax? No one said a thing.
