I was at Oroville on October 20th and the fish we caught around the big green bridge didn't have any sores on them.

I have used spacers in conjunction with jack plates on my last three boats and they work well to add extra length to the jack plate. I started with a six inch jack plate and then added 2 to 4" spacers depending on the amount of extra length I needed for the particular boat. Adding the spacers a...

Norv

Tom, Don't forget to take some of your Reel Stix to the Bassathon too. The Reel Stix identifies the pound test and type of line on each of your reels. I've used them and they are an excellent product. They adhere very well to the reels and the print doesn't run or fade. Much better than using a pen ...

I missed the show.

Will it be shown again???

Norv

Tom,

I picked up a bottle of Mend-it over the weekend and it works great.

Norv

MCS,

Hey, I thought that I was the only one that knew the "secret" color for spots was cinnamon!!! That was supposed to be my "ace" for our monthly club tournament this weekend!!! Oh well, I'll have to use one of my other "secrets" now.

Norv

Mike, I really like Xtreme Reel+. but I'm not an expert on lubricants. However, if the reel is smoother and freer after an application of Xtreme Reel+ it seems that indicates reduced friction which would mean less wear on the moving parts. One angler that I talked to at the Northern California Club ...

Norv

Edge, The Xtreme Gear lubricant was designed for for use in the larger salt water reels and other reels where the tolerances may be less than the reels you mentioned. When Xtreme Gear is used on reels with lower tolerances it will fill in the imperfections and help the gears operate smoother. In the...

Norv

Edge, Try Xtreme Reel+. It is a liquid dry lubricant with a heavy anti-corrosion package. It dissolves grease, oil and salt on contact. It opens the pores of the metal and fills them in with micro lubrication particles that are slippery, hydrophobic and stronger than grease and oil and will not abso...

Thanks to Steve Hunger, the members of the West Valley BassMasters of Tracy and all of the volunteers for putting on yesterday's Northern California Club Classic tournament.

Melanie,

Your store has an impressive inventory. I enjoy stopping in whenever I'm in the area. Unfortunately, I always find several baits that I don't have and absolutely need to buy!!!

Brad,

Congratulations on winning the 2008 Triton TR200!!! It was exciting watching your excitment as you read the note inside the envelope. It's a good thing that you said that you wouldn't sell your envelope for anything!!!

Again congratulations on winning the boat.

Norv

Wes, Before sending your reels in for service you should try using some Xtreme Reel+ lubricant on them. Xtreme Reel+ is the easy way to maintain your fishing reels, simply open the reel so you can see the gears and bearings, then squirt all moving parts, turn the handle to actuate all friction surfa...

I would also like to thank Triton Boats and Kent Brown for a fantastic tournament. Everything was well planned and executed.

Another team came in after Seig and Katrina with a little over 28 pounds. Seig and Katrina are now in secdond. Phil Hill and I are solidly in the middle of the pack. We're planning on three nines and a couple of eights or sevens to make a charge for first place. Bernie House, the tournament director...

Who's going to the tournament this weekend? I will be there with Phil Hill of JIGS Tackle. If you need to clean any reels before, during or after the tournament let me know because I'll have some Xtreme Reel+ cleaner/lubricant with me. It only takes a few minutes to clean and lubricate your reels wi...

Norv

Terry,

Was the $20 fee at Markley Cove???

Norv

Mike,

I'm glad that nothing was damaged. You are correct. It's best to "stop and wait" rather than taking any chances.

How was the fishing???

Norv

Smile_n_Jax, If I remember correctly you said that you launched at Wimpy's when you had the problems. That ramp is pretty steep. I have problems getting the bow of the boat properly situated on the bow stop at that ramp. The next time you go try New Hope Landing which is right next to Wimpy's. Their...

Grant, When I use braid for drop or split shotting I usually need use more more weight compared to using mono or florocarbon. It seems that if I use 1/8 ounce with mono or florocarbon I need 1/4 or greater when I use braid. Also with braid I get a lot of loops coming off the spool then I need to str...

Nor Cal Bassman,

You can try flipping weightless Senkos around the rip rap, tules and weed clumps.

Gator, You're right. Hwy 12 is a scarey road to drive. On several instances when I've been driving to or from B&W Harbor to I-5 an oncoming driver decided to pass another vehicle without sufficient time and space. It caused three vehicles to be side by side on a two lane road!!! Unfortunately th...

Norv

Tunaeater,

You can try using some Xtreme Reel + on your reels. It will do a fantastic job of cleaning and lubing them. All you have to do is open them up and spray the product on the bearings, gears and other moving parts.

Check them out at http://www.xtremelubricants.com/home.htm.

EGBASS,

I bought some Cocoons at Camping World in Rocklin a few months ago.

Donald Wong O.D. has some Fitovers on display in his office. He may have some in stock. His office is in Sacramento and I believe they are open on Saturdays until noon. His number is 448-6622.

Kyle,

If you need a rod tube let me know and I will bring one to the club meeting tonight.

Tony L., We had a small group of five boats at Camanche last weekend. Everyone reported that the fishing was pretty tough. Fish were caught on top water, jigs, split and drop shot rigs, rip baits. Quite a few small fish. The fish were caught all over the lake and up the river. Total legal fish caugh...

I went to the fair yesterday and saw the displays that were put together by Department of Boating and Waterways. It was very interesting and there were a lot of fair goers looking at the displays. My daughter was amazed that the live vest from the Titanic was filled with cork. I had to remind her th...

Norv

Riplip, I agree that it's a good idea to have each boat check-in with a staff person when they arrive at the weigh-in site. The staff person will issue them a number. Then the weigh master can control the traffic by calling the numbers so that he has the proper number of participants in the waiting ...

Norv

Tom, I used some of your Reel Stix and they work great!!! Now I immediately tell the weight and type of line that's on my reels. I used to put a sticker under the reel seat, but that required me to remove the reels to see what line was on them. Congratulations on creating a fantastic and inexpensive...

You can find smallies along the rip rap on the Sacramento River from the Delta Cross Channel up to Steamboat Slough and also into Steamboat, and the other adjoining sloughs. Careful though because you might also get a striper, salmon or steelhead at certain times of the year. You can get to the cros...

I got a bunch of PVC tubes that were used to ship rods in. You are more than welcome to one of them. I'm located in the south part of Sacramento off of I-5 and Florin Road.

What happened the next time you moved??? Was the boat sluggish again??? Is this a new boat for you??? If the boat is new to you is it the first time you have had the live wells full??? Has this happened before??? If so, how was the boat loaded??? There are a lot of factors that could cause a boat to...

I have one on my Triton. Although I have only beached the boat a few times having the guard provides peace of mind that if I need to beach it for any reason the gel coat will be protected. It's like wearing a seat belt. Most likely you won't need it, but if you don't have it buckled up you spend tim...

I just checked the California Community Credit Union's website (http://www.caccu.org/) and their lowest rate for a new boat is 7.50%.
