Check out BPS Woo Daves Extreme rods, or the Stacy King line. The Woo Daves 7' med. cranking/spinnerbait rod goes for $69.99 on sale, and they are great rods for the money. And the power hump handle makes casting all day easier on the hands. They're made in China, but so are a lot of premium rods (S...

John,
How many boats are you going to have?

NaCl, You're right. Now's the time to fish or cut bait. If the Fed leadership waits any longer, BASS will steal away enough Fed anglers to seriously damage the Fed, and BASS has the money to wait them out. Now it the time to act. Not acting is like waiting for the bite to turn on instead of moving. ...

For Huddlestons and that weight swimbaits, and even 3/4 oz LA Sliders, the Shimano Crucial XHeavy 8' is perfect (thank you Ron C.) I have an 8' Terramar, and it has a stiffer tip, which makes it great for Slammers and heavier swimbaits, but too stiff for Huddlestons. If I leave a 3' line drop from t...

I had a friend a few wives...errr years back who was the chief attorney for Showtime, and who had to deal with Disney. The joke then among Disney employees was, "If you're not willing to work on Saturday, don't even bother showing up Sundays". It's this kind of abusive, arrogant behavior t...

How about a report about Saturday's Fed at DVL? Mine is a blank page.

Thanks. That's a great site.

I got mine Saturday, went to Castaic Sunday, and saw the Police boat on the lake for the first time in a year. Coincidence?

Do you use the regular washer, or do it by hand?

:lol: :lol: :lol: Hope Santa is more kind next year. I am not a camera expert, but I bought one, and here are some things I found out. Look for a large display screen, and lots of pixels, just like in sonar. For fishing, see how close it will shoot, so you can take your own photo, and how good a zoo...

How about posting those pics on the forum?

All you NoCals be careful out there. From SoCal, it looks like you're in for a rough time. Be safe, and best of luck.
Jonathan, that means YOU! Don't even think about fishing.

Even my Tracker 175 has a larger live well than that.

I found a motel that's set up for RVs and rigs, with a secure parking lot, in Hemet.
It's the America's Best Value Inn. $90/night, 2 night min.

My partner bought one at the Anglers Marine Bass-A-Thon. It throws great. The handle came loose, and he couldn't figure out how to tighten it, and neither could Anglers when he went back, so they gave him another reel. No problem on the replacement, and it is sweet.

I guess when they say, "Don't look down", they know what they're talking about. I wonder if s**t is a shark repellent? I know that would be my only line of defense.

Another thing to try to eliminate line twist with 3/4 oz and heavier jigs is to use 30lb. braid, with a flouro leader, tied on with an Albright knot. Leader length is you choice depending on how often you retie, and howmuch line you use when you retie. The braid makes the setup super sensitive, but ...

You should be out prefishing for the Fed.

Robert, I bought a 7'6" Phenix swimbait rod from Chris at Bass World, and it's perfect for 3/4oz Sliders. I haven't tried it for anything else except swimbaits. It's too light for Huddlesons, unless your throwing them parallel side arm, more of a sling. But it's perfect for Sliders. It seems to...

Is there a motel near DVL that is set up for fishermen, with secure parking for rigs, and hookups?

mark poulson

Why can't the weigh-in be at the floating docks at the West Ramp? There is a concrete area there to set up the scales, and that way the fish can be released quickly, just like we do at Pyramid. Terry, If you're going to use my "secret" techniques, don't tell that Darren guy. He's already t...

Actually, I am a Trojan fan, both the team and the product.

Brian, They make circular hole saws to use in a drill. They are much easier to use, and do less damage, than a jig saw. The hole needs to be small enough to keep enough meat around it for the mounting screws to be solid, but big enough to pass the connecting nuts for the three sonar/GPS leads. Bette...

Lets do the math. Larger population, lower average wage, lower per capita tax paid, smaller staff per user ratio for all public services from park rangers to police and fire. And politicians who are too gutless to say no to exporting good paying jobs which support services through taxes paid. No won...

I'm counting on you to figure this one out, and prove that the punkin head, cousin rumor about you and Top Water is a lie.

mark poulson

For the center hole, too small is better than too large. The large hole is to let the three mounting nuts pass through. After you've drilled the four mounting holes and the center hole, if the nuts won't pass through, use a dremel or similar grinding tool to enlarge just one part of the large hole t...

mark poulson

If you're going to install it yourself, lay out the mount, use the center area, about 11/4" to test which size drill bit is best for the mounting screws without cracking or being too tight, layout and drill the four mounting holes, and then use a hole saw to cut out the center hole. That way yo...

Oh, Ron. Only you would root for a condom.

they do a good job.

If you're talking about Ram mounts for your sonar at the console, and if you don't have room to or don't want to flush mount your unit, the answer is yes. They are a very good way to go. They are easy to install, easy to adjust, and do a good job of holding, even in rough water. And they let you adj...

In the days of the Wild West, there was a young cowboy who wanted more than anything to be the greatest gunfighter in the world. He practiced every minute of his spare time, but he knew that he wasn't yet first-rate and that there must be something he was doing wrong. Sitting in a saloon one Saturd...

Computors. Computor manufacturing has made all of today's reels so much better and affordable. Rods are also so consistent and reasonably priced. The everyday angler today can afford tackle that would rival the most expensive tackle of years gone by that was beyond the reach of all but the rich and ...

I'll try to get in touch with him.

His son is really interested in finding out about Pete, who used to fish the Cal. bass circuts. Pete was a cop, and he died of cancer while the boy was young, so his son never got to know his dad. I know Pete was a pioneer in west coast bass fishing, and I was hoping someone here might have some fir...
