I just bought two new staysee's in Dobyn's chartruse phantom shad with his signature on the bait at the Bait barn in Waterford. I don't know if this is what you are looking for. Give them a call.

Turkeyman

A very good point.

Turkeyman

Yes, but I don't find very appealing.

Well I have two kids a girl 16 next week and a boy who just turned 12, I work for a big poultry company in the central valley and raise about 1 million turkeys a year for them, hence the name Turkeyman. Other than fishing there is my wife and kids and hunting.

Turkeyman

Yea, me too David. See you at the TOC

Turkeyman

If you take it into the dealer have them calibrate your tach. this happened to my partner on his new boat.

Turkeyman

Yea we had to switch also. We handloaded our 243's with the 85 grain barnes triple shock. My dad killed a pig about 100 lbs at 80 yards. Bullet performed very well entering just behind the last rib and exiting on the opposite front shoulder, I killed a small forky with one shot through the lungs at ...

I used to live in Longmont, as stated there are a lot of irrigation reserviors and private leases on reserviors. The Division of Wildlife has several lakes leased for public use and they stock each differently, Lon hagler near Fort Collins, used to be stocked heavy with trout to feed Tiger Muskies, ...

Went to Mocassin Sat. night to do a little night fishing with the wife and son. About an hour after dark up in the river canyon my wife says "Did you hear that?" She shined the light up the bank and about 75 yards away was a bear. It looked like a pretty big bear to me. It followed us for ...

Turkeyman

I was going to ask the same thing. I heard that Mocassin ramp was closed. Jigs whats up with Mocassin?

Turkeyman

I have went through 3 batteries in 10 months, it is always the same battery.

Turkeyman

I'm having an issue with my on-board charger. One battery doesn't seem to charge all the way and we end up losing power to the trolling motor with heavy use. There is a burnt fuse in the charger lead going to this battery, it has heated up to the point that it has fried the fuse holder. It is a Pro-...

When storing your reels between trips, do you guys store them with the drags set or do you back the drags off?

I saw an interesting invention in Hawaii last week for releasing deep caught bottom fish. basically it is an 8 z. sinker with tie wire molded into the lead. The wire was bent into an inverted V shape. When the fish was brought to the surface you can insert the wire through the jaw and sink the fish ...

My son and I decided to go night fishing at McClure last night. On the way to the lake everytime we would see a ski boat pass us our the way to the lake I would say "Great one less to worry about." Then as another ski boat passes us my son, who is 11, says "Bass fishermen are like the...

Turkeyman

Cool for you. What tag did you draw,because once again I read "Unsuccessful" not only Cali, but Nevada, and Colorado. Good luck

Just got back from Breakfast with the wife's father and grandfather, my son has the boat hooked up and we are leaving for LBC.

Turkeyman

Is this ever gonna quit? I have several buildings with roofs blowing off, and it is to dangerous to send people up to fix them. Sustained winds in Modesto and Turlock at 23-24 mph with gusts to 31. I also have had about 1 acre of dirt blown into my pool. Crazy. I hope you guys are careful if your br...

Any info on dates, times etc?

I have a 181 F/S and I have started using plastic containers from Wal-Mart. They are about 6" wide and a foot long, and about 6" deep. I have one for senkos, one for jig trialers/sweet beavers and one for worms. they are just the right size for the packages of these baits to fit into. I ha...

Turkeyman

Thanks for the kind words. Due to unforeseen issues (like my ability to forget where I leave things) we didn't have a camera with us and there was nobody taking pictures. My son was upset because he wanted a picture of his first bass caught with a baitcaster, and we didn't have the camera.

Turkeyman

I finally won a tournament!!! Well actually my 11 year old son and I fished a turkeyshoot at Melones on Saturday. We were able to come away with first place by only a couple of oz. but hey we still won. I don't know what was more satisfying, seeing my son's smile when he went up to get the prize or ...

Turkeyman

Are you guys trying to get into the Modesto/Turlock area yet? My Sacramento connection is no longer.

Turkeyman

Also if you go to the lake to pre-fish the pass they will issue you (assuming you pass inspection) will be good for 7 days. When you get to the gate show them your previous pass and they will let you right in.

Turkeyman

Cpongratulatons, My first swim bait fish was a 13" smallmouth. We still don't know how it got the hook in it's mouth. Keep it up and yourDD will be here soon.

Turkeyman

Usually when my dog has pups, we use an old sheet or blanket that you don't want anymore. Let her have the pups on the blanket then throw it away, I will put down some plastic underneath to keep the floor clean. If you are going to let he have them in the garage, clean the floor in that area and the...

We stayed at south shore in feb. There are full hook-ups, try to stay away from the trout pond as you will get a lot of people fishing out of your "backdoor" as they walk around the pond. Alos they tend to cut between trailers. From 99 take 88 to Jackson, turn left on South Camanche Parkwa...

Was this on Sunday afternoon? Saw the smoke from Mildred.

What part of Colorado are you from? Several guys tried to get me to join the Centennial Club when I lived in Longmont.

My insurance company decided it was in my best interest to just pay the family a settlement, which was equal to my limit. They said if I wanted to counter sue I could but I would have to hire my own attorney. The family also sued the other guy the man was riding with because he was an unsafe rider a...

I just want to let you know,the scenairo given in the article is 100% on the money. I was involved in an accident where a motorcyclist came around a blind corner to fast to maintain his lane. I was anable to avoid him and was actually off the right shoulder of the road and the CHP deemed the cyclist...

I saw the show also and the first thing I thought about was a post shadwizard had some time ago where he stated that an angler cannot reel fast enough to mimic a shad trying to escape. It was a good show for sure.

Turkeyman

I have noticied when watching tournaments from back east, there doesn't seem to be much difference in the top 10 places with weight. A couple of pounds maybe. But tournaments held in our foothill lakes it always seems to be won by one lucky big fish in someone's bag. Am I missing something?

Turkeyman

There is a ramp open on the south shore. It is over by the snack bar. Go past the trout pond and follow the signs through the campground. Haven't had any trouble launching there, the North shore ramp is still open but is narrow.

Turkeyman

I was there this past weekend as well as last Sat. The pass they issue is good for 7 days. They didn't even inspect my boat this weekend.

Turkeyman

What is the Rumsey Line at Clear Lake? It seems someone once told me it had to do with how much water could be taken out, and it related to Indian agreements for fish.

Hey guys, I have been trying to find Hydrate 2O in the Turlock, Modesto area and even have a friend who works at Savemart looing for it also. Does anyone know if it is in the Modesto Markets yet? I checked the new Save Mart on Old Oakdale and they do not have it in stock. If anyone has any info plea...

The wife and I are planning on taking a day trip somewhere this weekend. I mentioned that I have never been to the Oakley/Brentwood area and she seems to think it would be fun, SO what are some sites of interest, shops resturants etc. in that area. Of course we will have to stop at any antique store...

Turkeyman

Yeah, Me and a buddy are fishing it. We can't find any info about it either. I'm planning on showing up about 5-5:30 on Friday. If you get any info please share.

Turkeyman

I am planning on fishing the night tourney. I believe it is 6/15-16 7pm to 7am. If these times are correct does it go against the 6 hour rule?

Turkeyman

Sounds good to me although I like the 6 to 12 on Friday. I think I can get a couple of people to get interested also. Count me in. it lookss like I will have to use my boat now.

Turkeyman

Yes the boat is insured. Luckily the other motorist has insurance also. We went to Melones and the accident happened at Geer Rd and Santa Fe north of Turlock.

Turkeyman

We were pulled over once in Red Bluff on our way to Klamath, the CHP officer gave us a fix it ticket for a trailer light and said, "Keep it under 62MPH , Even the truckers know that." So that is where I try to keep it when on the road.
