Yeah, but here ya go another company that "did it right" but could not keep up with the big boys advertising bucks and your stuck trying to sell a great boat without the "names" the other companies pr dept. have made sure will always have resale value. Isn't that what happened to...

still smiling in my '96 Champion dual console 187 Elite with a 150 optimax...I really thought the no splashwell was sexy with the new " then !" technology Motor and it seemed like it would be lower in upkeep, easier maitanance with the simple carbon fiber dash and clean glass bezels and an...

M.S. Slammer light rainbow trout....with my buzzbait on the other rod :? I catch fish all day all year on the slammer where as the buzzbait has a more limited timeframe and seasonal appeal. If I'm using the 9 inch I put a 2/0 red Gammie on the front hook and a 2/0 gammie round bend on the back and t...

I usually go fishing and see what works and where and how and why...Then you MIGHT have a pattern....Right now in my neck of the woods...SoCal ....I have found that the bottom make-up is making a big difference. Shale to rock, sand with weeds, etc. etc. I look for edges...the bank, the drop off, the...

Top 20 is all you needed today buddy...Today you got all that Folkstead was hoping for to get to the next level...Now that you have the whole lake to fish it's HAMMERTIME!

If I'm flipping it's black with black and blue power craw if it's anything else it's 1/2 oz.brown with a yamamoto cinnamon with black flake 4 inch twin tail. So much for ONE jig

I always take some clothes and the bathroom kit in the carry on as it can be a bummer without ANYTHING to fall back on. I feel your pain and I'm sorry you lost something that couldn't be replaced. Always write letters to them and if you have names to include in anything you report I promise you that...

:lol: There is nothing like a Berkley gulp turning into a rock on your hook or in in the bag :x . I have a use for the power craw and their worms but someone was on crack when they came up with the gulp line of products....I feel sorry for anyone who ever purchased a pack. As for Ike....Good for Ran...

I hear there are 8 foot waves breaking on the bridge over Rodman slough. That means the wind is coming from the wrong direction. When my folks owned a resort in Glenhaven in the 70's our floating gas dock was thrown up over our sea wall and landed in our front yard! Catching A fish much less five is...

We have to get our collective sh*t together and get out there together! I'll show you my new must have bait :D ...It was pretty windy for an aluminium boat on Saturday and you wouldn't have had much fun as the bite doesn't take off until the wind picks up. We noticed all day that it would come and g...

I just love Cachuma..If the largemouth aren't cooperating then the smallmouth will. Darn :lol: 3 pound smallmouth rippin you all day long on all kinds of different tackle. I'm no specialist at tossing hula grubs but I did get some lessons yesterday. I had gone out with some pre-concevied ideas about...

Wieenie gets what he gives...As long as I don't have to look at him bare A**ed with another fish by the lips I might not have these REALLY ...

That is one heck of a post troutnut!!! Facts,figures,contact points and all for a serious cause. I give you a 10 out of a possible ten on this issue and your approach is flawless. Glad I don't have to fish against you because if your as fastidious in the boat as you were in the post you're the maste...

Ron...your 891 posts are showing :D ...But I liked it just just the same. As a machinist with old school talents I'm appalled at the "quote" {Engineers} that come to me and cannot tie their own shoes. What is not taught in schools today is approaching problematic at best. I have a high sch...

Kelly Ripa

I don't think the question is about whether it is beneficial to prefish or not as it works for some and not for others come tournament day. The core question of the thread is about the offlimits periods and whether it represents a level playing field. If team A goes out and marks a bunch of bedfish ...

Kelly Ripa

Actually I sent a P.M. to Tom Leogrande and was positive about my position and ideas once I explained him what and how it could be done and ran some facts and figures by me.That being said let's just all realize that perhaps it could be done and in way that would not only be effective but would cull...

Kelly Ripa

I'm not at liberty to say but I think it can be done Tom. You might not like the answer to the situation but in this day and age I'd be frank and up front with anyone in a circuit I'd run on day one that hellfire and brimstone would rain on folks who run afoul of the rule book of a circuit I'm envol...

Kelly Ripa

I think it is possible to enforce an off limits period so I guess I'll have to disagree with this portion of any argument. If it is a tournament rule than everyone should abide as the consequences of being Banned from one or possibly all circuits would certainly make one think twice before purposely...

Kelly Ripa

I'm only on the cutting edge at work....If I could put that time on the water....I'd would still just be a wanna be.

Kelly Ripa

I have a digital...Killed it at 6 months. I bought a new one and the arrow tends to wander but it is easily fixed....I have a friend with a minnkota and what I liked about it was it ramped up to speed instead of instantaneous throw you out of the boat power. That I really like because I don't always...

Kelly Ripa

Then again I could burn all the water but mine in hopes of killing off someone else's bite!

Kelly Ripa

What I question is what would motivate someone to fish a circuit without a off limits period? I can never fish mid-week so why would I even try to pattern some fish in Feb. when things will be different next week? .... March and April--- somebodys going to be out marking whatever so they can go back...

Kelly Ripa

I know a lot of you guys fish tournaments so here is my question. Do you think there should be a one week off limits period prior to your tournament? I was surprised last Saturday when I heard that they had no cutoff for prefishing on the circut that was at Cachuma last Saturday. I Think it was Angl...

I haven't posted my report yet however On Saturday the shriff's boat and the lake patrol boat were towing bouys over to Santa Cruz. They are going to bouy it off like it was years ago. Right between the stone out cropping and the ol'submerged tree....That isn't the only bite they are taking....No mo...

Seig gave me a bottle at the August Nutcase rallye when it was like 105 in the shade and the water was instantly dried into 1 part Alage to 4 parts of bug bits with a hint of sulphur to mellow out the edges to a great big chunk style water spot after the week of fishing hard :wink: Long story short....

Ol' partners still get the skinny Ray! Tough love...I guess.
