Whats wrong with asking a guy to go fish and letting them know up front what you need to go? If you like it and you want to, then go and if you don't, then don't. Doesn't seem like any reason to be such a smarta** and then PM the guy to take you? Am I reading this thread wrong, is this a prank or i...

Damn !!! I was just getting my tackle together to hit you up
Check your pm and get in touch if you wish.

MichaelB

So Daniel.......
How many candidates do you have signed up for this exciting day on the Delta ?

MichaelB

So Daniel, you want someone to pay for the launch, split gas, take you to their water, show you how to punch and throw a frog and provide all these services and not complain about anything.
I will predict if you change your approach you would receive better results.

MichaelB

I have all of my service done by Greg at C&C Marine, and I feel like I have been done right and treated fairly.
Buy my oil, fuel additives and any other Merc / Ranger supplies there, and have never had a bad experience.
I would not hesitate to recommend C&C for any service.

MichaelB

Great job Oklahoma !
While in California, our politicians would be trying to kill off most of these fish as a "non native, invasive species"

MichaelB

This is written by the president of the Modesto Irrigation District Board of Directors. How much can we trust what he says?

Tuesday, July 24th, my brother and I were out fishing in the are of Mildred Island area. We saw green particles of algae floating in the water. Does anyone know if the water is safe? Does it have any effect on the fish? As posted by WB, here is what the toxic Algae looks like..... does not really l...

MichaelB

Thanks Stratos ..... and that figures.
They are trying to increase the ethanol threshold from 10% to 15% ...... which is just going to create more problems for outboards, even if you run ethanol offsetting additives in your fuel.

MichaelB

Is anyone aware of non-ethanol fuel being available in Modesto / Manteca area ?

Can not seem to get a PM response from Linzy. Do not believe she is using Westernbass as a resource.

As of June 28 there are (7) Teens registered and an unknown number of Boaters.

We are less then two weeks out.
Does anyone know...... what is the status of this event ?

MichaelB

They used to provide a tie on your way out that went thru your bow eye that would allow you to skip an inspection .... boat could not have been in another lake without removing the tie first. There are no 2 stroke / 4 stroke restrictions, no HP restrictions.... it is a 10 minute idle out of the ramp...

Sorry guys. The motor is a 2008 pro xs 250. Has all new batteries and ungraded 36volt minn Kota. Hydro jack plate.

You have a 20+ year old Merc 225 with 100 hrs ? (assuming it is a '98 also ) Any service records ? How long has this boat been sitting around ?

Attorney General Becerra was appointed to his position by Governor Brown ...... figure the odds of this letter having any bearing on stopping the Tunnels.

I believe it may be Sidewinder Marine in Ceres. Confirmed.... he works out of his "garage" at a residence and does excellent work. I believe he used to own a boat shop..... but now just services Minn-Kota. He is a certified MK repair station Sidewinder Marine 2817 Joy Ave, Ceres, CA 95307...

Who ever cant tell that tail don't belong to that fish should not be a tournament judge !!

MichaelB

What is the scoring format going to be ?
2 teens + boater = team weight ?
2 teens = team.... and boater just the guide ?
Still 5 fish ?

I'm already registered, just curious how it will work.

There is some hope the devastating House Appropriations "rider" will not make it out of Committee. Senior California Senator Diane Feinstein opposes the "rider" ...... which must be shot down for any hope at Stopping the Tunnels. The following LA Times link is an excellent read o...

I just left message with Kalverts office and they said he would call me back; lets see if that happens!

This absolutely figures. The author of the appropriations bill "rider", Congressman Ken Calvert, is being funded by numerous entities who will benefit from the construction of the Tunnels. From "Restore the Delta": OUR PRESS RELEASE: Today, Restore the Delta noted that the author...

I was able to leave a voicemail with Senator Harris and I actually got a live person answer Congressman Calvert's phone. Can someone pleas...

MichaelB

If this "rider", tagged onto an unrelated House Appropriations bill makes it out of committee, and makes it into law, it will eliminate any court action to fight the Delta Tunnels. It never ends, more sleazy efforts to circumvent any attempts to fight the Delta Tunnels. The more of this cr...

Six people in a ski boat, driver drunk and not paying attention. Very tragic result, but you can't operate a boat in this fashion.

What is VRBO ?
The population of LaGrange is about 75 ..... and that includes the 25 who are at the Bar on a weekend

There is nothing close to Pedro:
Oakdale / Sonora / Coulterville are the closest.... and they are not that close
Don't think there is anything in Waterford
If you are just fishing for a day ..... drive from San Jose

Although I have only launched out of B&W a few times, I can tell you that they are not the only Delta marina that has had high dollar bass boat thefts.... they just did not make it to Westernbass with the end result of a torched boat making the thread.

Don't buy your line in 200 yard spools. Buy your line in 600 to 1000 yard spools then you are only taking a hit on the very last time you use the spool. You can also use 20-30 yards of backing on your reels, then you save that much line every time you replace line on that reel.

MichaelB

Did not mean to suggest that all jet skis and wakeboard boats are a PIA ..... but I am old and grumpy.
As far as I am concerned, there are two types of boats:
Those boats that are fishing, and those boats that are aggravating those who are trying to fish !!!
