Scott, I agree, it should be a Challenge to get to the TOC. The qualification standards could be a little more rigid

While you are doing the research on AC, maybe you could shed some light on how the 5th place finishing team at the Havasu TOC qualified for that event.

Murph

Way to go Jeff ! If you Are going to the CUP, I hope your boss will give you the time off.

Murph

Nice Diagram.

Murph

Thanks guys. Maybe that's the Water Boss's plan. Keep the water down long enough so the Shoreline looks like a Jungle, and then Bam, bring it back up. lol

Murph

Thanks Mike, sorry I missed you down there. We were at the Days Inn. That little front that went thru, actually slowed it down for us. We were just very fortunate on Day 2 and caught 2 key fish, late in the day. We only caught 2 stripers, (one each day), but I know other people that were lighting th...

Murph

Oh Yeah, it sucks ! Especially for me, but I'm still one of those that feel it's the very best TOC lake out there. We're already making plans for our next assault, next September and October. I'm reasonably certain that the new Ultimate Bass TOC, will be at Powell.

Murph

Thanks Pete ! It was sure nice to catch fish again after two dismal tournaments at Mead.

My #2 coil went out a couple of weeks ago, on my 2008 225 XS. What a pain, 7.2 mph tops, but it did get me back. The speculation, for some reason, was that it would be on #5 or #6.

Chris would be good for sure, if he could get permission. How about Ron C. ?

Murph

He is one of the Favorites of the Bass Champs T.V. Show.

Murph

Wait for Costco to have their sale. They carry BFG and you get the Nitrogen . Not sure about todays prices, though.

Murph

And you should have heard their speech. They had the whole place laughing out loud. They may have missed their calling, which could have been Stand Up Comedy! Great Job Guys! !

I'm just going by the what the Vegas Weather people say, on the local CBS and Fox affiliates. If it's any consolation, one day should be out of the North.

Murph

Big Winds on Tuesday and Wednesday, accompanied by a 30 degree Temperature drop. You might throw in a Jacket!

Murph

Not really a fix. They're not fishing as a Team. If anything it will Hinder both anglers.

Murph

What he's accomplished at Lake Powell is Fantastic. Now if he could just talk them into the Goby minnow, before the Lake ever becomes infested with them Dang Quaggas.

Murph

There is No U.S. Open, unless it's at Lake Mead. I think it will grow again. During the Practice, I swore 50 times, that I would never do it again, but guess what?

Murph

This was brought up a few months ago. My fix and it's still working, month's later, is to Glue, not lube. The bearing "cage" breaks lose from the housing that it's in. It's tough to separate them but once you do, you can glue them in place. This might also be temporary but the Krazy Glue i...

Murph

Congrats to Hollywood! I'm pretty sure he won the Poker Event. And Vern, who won the weight guess that you had going on?

Murph

Mel and I are "All In" Now if we could just get a Horseshoe Pitchin' contest. lol

Murph

Give me an address, you can have mine.

Murph

Glad to hear that you'll still be at the Open. Looking forward to seeing you again. Best of Luck with whatever is around the corner.

Murph

Hey Ray L. , you 'ole Stranger, long time, no see! I'm actually running a Tempest plus 25 and it seems to do fine at all of the lakes. On the 'Cat , a few years back, I would swap, between a 24 and 25 on Powell and Mead.

There should be a real darkhorse, slip into the Top 10. Whoever gets to Bobby Lane's ledge first, would have to finish fairly high. Early draw? Good Friend? I wish I knew how to get him into my choices.

Murph

Did you get my PM in response to yours?

Murph

I think what Robert is trying to say, is that it's not right for another competitor to receive certain info. It's too hard to control, so it can't be illegal. It should be like Holdem Poker, "Tell one, Tell all"

Murph

I've carried one in the boat, since the "Ice Chest Livewell Days". Make sure you pack an extra stone, as they are very vulnerable, if you don't protect it with a shield of some kind.

Murph

Gunnie, I too, disagree with some of your comments and tactics. It seems to me that most would only create conflict. I'm all for some type of Grading system for all Draw Tourneys. Believe me, the guy up front doesn't always have all of the answers. This year in the Stren Series, I've had some of the...

Murph

I picked up a couple of the Johnny Morris, JM 1000 s and I'm very happy with them. The bigger spool is doing what it's supposed to do. I paid $69 for them on sale, but I think they usually sell for $99 or so.

Murph

I disagreed with that guy staying there, but it all worked out. ( and if you noticed what kind of boat that feller was driving, I'm sure he felt he had all the rights in the world to stay there) lol

Murph

That's too funny right there!! I'm not going to volunteer for that sponsorship. lol Actually, I'm pretty sure that the (re-schedule) hurt everything. I was very impressed with the enthusiasm that the Roosevelt and Oroville communities put forth.

Murph

Easter prefish for Roosevelt, now Memorial Day prefish for the Delta. I think someone needs to wake up, just a little. The 109 boats at Oroville tells me, they need to do 2 in the North and 2 in the South.

Murph

Murph

Like Robert said, if you're around Oroville, between May 11th to the 16th or 17th, you could take out a couple different Tom Pryor rods, and give them a try. Warning! ! Most people that have tried them, end up wanting a couple.

Murph

Good Job WON Bass. Your numbers should be back up to where they're supposed to be.

Murph

That's good to hear, George. That had to be a Huge Headache for the Quantum people. I know, when I finally figured it out, I was relieved, because I knew I wouldn't be throwing away, a $129.00 reel. Geez George, I guess I'm going to have to sign up for the Open in order to see you again. Hopefully t...

Murph

Energy PTI, Kinetic and Catalyst. I think they all use the same version of an anti reverse "clutch".

Murph

It all comes down to that Clutch assembly. I ordered two new clutchs and they did the same thing. The problem is, the little bearing cage, slips inside it's housing. If a guy could "peen" or glue it in place, I'm thinking the problem is solved. Right now I'm glueing them with a two part ma...

Murph

Does anyone else have a problem with these reels, as far as the Anti-Reverse is concerned?

Murph

It sounds like this community is really giving alot of support for this event. That should help for a return trip!

Murph

Always a great Magazine no matter what, But the March/April issue doesn't seem to be very Western!

Murph

I heard that they might be picking up the WFN (World Fishing Network), when that happens, I'll probably switch back to Direct TV.

Murph

Low Battery voltage.

Murph

I think that they have work to do. They brag about how many people are watching it, world wide, but I'll tell ya, watching it here in Nevada, it's somewhat irritating.

Murph

You've nailed it. I would like to see a follow up report after each tourney, where the guys or gals in the back of the boat kind of fill out a report card on how their day or days went. Personally, if it's a good day or a bad day, I always want my Partner to feel like they were a big part of the ove...

Murph

I've added Ed's number to my contacts. I'll just get the inspection and my license, hopefully at the same time on Sunday morning, and then take a look at the 'ole Pond. I just watched the Kennedy Bassmaster's show, so I ain't Jacked up or anything.
