Re: An Unfortunate and Disappointing Happening.......Long

forgot to mention , that so called "pro" that jumped Dennis's water , has probably read his post but is to
chickeshit to admit it ----what a guy , I am hoping Dennis post his name just to make sure I don't buy any of his products or the companies that endorse him .

Re: An Unfortunate and Disappointing Happening.......Long

Dennis , I am glad you posted this . I have bass fished in the bay area for over 35 years , most of it from the bank or a float tube , the past 12 years from a boat . Like you , I don't fish tournaments , why ? Because of the same type of behavior that the so called "pro" did to you . Seve...

Re: My ReelEx Experience

I had Dan replace the bearings on 5 of my Curados' , had to take some time to get used to the extra distance , but worth the money for sure . I wonder if he can fix a couple of Symetre's I have . One of them seized up and you can barely turn the handle and the other has a drag problem. What say you ...

Re: boat ins

Guys , thanks , I talked with a guy at AAA just yesterday and he said absolutely that the boat WOULD NOT BE towed if I had a policy that covered my vehicle , whether or not I had the regular 5 mile tow or the 100 mile tow . I can see where the 100 mile towing would be great if I was on a trip to a l...

Re: trailer tires. bias vs radial

I am no expert in tires , but did just replace a set on my single axle for the second time . I stayed with Bias ply . The tires had less than 5K miles but were almost 6 years old . I had read that regardless of miles , replace them every 5 years . The interesting thing was how they wore differently ...

MO , great idea , the money could even be used to pay somebody to be the "navigator" of advising/fighting/updates to all the people who value these resources. How about a few percent coming from the DFG license fee's and having them contribute (i know , NO WAY they do it). clearlakeoutdoor...

Re: Center for Biological Diversity!!!

Look at it differently . These types of organizations are very clever in the approah they take . Here is just an example , maybe they push the DGF (now the DFW) to eliminate ALL limits on any size bass taken . Eventually , people who "USE" Lakes like Clear lake as a resource for food will ...
