LED lights will likely never burn out like a filament bulb will. You can jar them or immerse them into water without damage. Can't say the same about conventional bulbs. Conventional bulbs will shatter in cold water without the watertight capsules. LED lights draw a fraction of the current compared ...

The Navionics West chip covers the Delta and the Lakes. But if you're looking for a good Delta chart, I suggest the Lowrance chip. It does not have the lakes, but the delta map has more detail. I maybe selling a Navionics chip soon. I heard that there is a chip with contours of some of the Delta. D...

Does the Navionics Platinum Lake Maps cover the Delta around Franks?

Thanks!

I'm new to this forum. I just bought a 2001 SX180 Skeeter and noticed that the bow rides higher than other bass boats that I've been in................sometime the trolling motor comes out of the water. By chance has your trolling motor shaft been pulled up? There is a collar knob that adjusts how ...

While the other Cabelas retail stores have 400 staff hired, the Reno store is supposed to only have 250 personnel. Roughly 3/5 size of the full size stores. I wonder what will be missing?

For my Ranger, the assessed value is $22,500. I expect to get a bill for $225. I think it is a 1 percent tax. There is a date that they use for making the assement too. If he has possession from a certain date (I don't recall what that date is). He may not have to pay anything this year, because it ...

Cal, I've bought and used several brands of fluorocarbon lines over the years and couple lines have turned milky after a few hours of use. They all start out clear and hard to see under water, but a few brands have turned white after fishing for half a day, which isn't supposed to be the case. In th...

According the Bassmaster's website, it's going to be at Robinson's Rancheria in Nice.

Most of it will come out if you soak it with water. I've spilled coffee many times and the garden hose will get it out. If there is any stain left, a little simple green will get the rest.

This website provides some general guidelines on how barometric pressure affects bass.
http://www.quickoneplus.com/fish/barometric.htm

The site does omit some other factors that we bassfishermen talk about like; cold fronts, warm fronts and bluebird skies.

Vernonn

I think this bass is becoming a trout eater if it survives.......

I had this problem on my Minnkota/Lowrance combo. I grounded my underwater housing of my trolling motor and also connected the ground of the trolling motor to the ground of the graph. Most of the problems went away (except when I'm at really high sensitivity levels.) To ground the trolling motor hou...

Visit Do-It Molds' website. It might help you decide on the jigmold and the hooks that will go with it.

It's a lot of fun to make your own jigs.

Try Lake Berryessa. Probably the closest lake to Davis. Inside what we call the Narrows, you can fish the steep banks with dropshots and jigs for Spotted Bass. Outside the narrows there are all sorts of different structure types holding largemouth or Smallies. It's a great lake to learn and is close...

Here is a website with some general guidelines on how barometric pressure affects fish and how you might adjust your fishing. http://www.quickoneplus.com/fish/barometric.htm Like Cooch said, some forms of pressure, mainly high pressure causes the bite to slow down. Add to that a lack of wind and blu...

Which form of pressure: barometric, fishing?

I've eaten BK burgers bought the night before just to have something in my stomach before blast off. I can't think on the water without food and coffee in the morning. It's a long day.

Thanks to all.

Cooch, that sounds like a plan. It's that or order an extra large pizza the night before.

Thanks!

I'm no scientist but this is what I've read: Lead sulfate forms on the plates whenever the battery is in a discharged state. The longer it is discharged the more sulfation occurs. Sulfation prevents the battery from being at peak efficiency. It doesn't charge up as well with the lead sulfur coating ...

Gator,

Yes. According to the coverage map it seems to be pretty good from Sacramento out towards Lincoln.

The access card just plugs into the PC slot right?

Seems like a good deal for $60/month.

Vernonn

How well does it work, and how is the coverage - is Frank's Tract covered?

This really exposes the validity of the ESPY awards. There is an article on ESPN that says Venus just fell out of the top 20 in rank.

And that LMB/Pedro that is two and a half pounds is a really nice fish. Closer to 4+ if you ask me.

Vernonn

Randy,

It seems to me that when these things fold up due to lack of air pressure, they become really unstable. When the tube folds, it suddenly changes the aerodynamics, causing loss of lift on one side. I suggest filling the tube to max pressure. It's probably the most stable that way.

The Kite Tube seems to be pretty unstable. There is another similar flying tube that's called the Mantaray.

Last week, the Deseret Morning News reported two people were seriously hurt in separate kite-tubing accidents. In the first and most severe, a 29-year-old man from St. George fell about 40 feet to the waterâ€™s surface June 2, while moving approximately 40 mph, and suffered a broken neck. The next d...

Out of curiosity, where do you attach the tow line on a Ranger?

I have the same boat and motor. 2004 185 with Merc 150 Opti. GPS about 55, RPM about 5300. Are you trimming the motor when you run it? If it's tucked in, it won't lift the hull out of the water. Also, it seems to make a difference which lake you run on due to elevation. It seem to run faster in the ...

BandW and Brannon Island are both along Highway 12. But with Brannon Island, you have to go down 160 south for a bit.

Stay away from Wimpy's and New Hope. Very tricky with the strong current. (Thornton Road).

Vernonn

BandW is a good ramp for solo launching, so is Brannon Island. Paradise can be a little tricky at times unless your seasoned at solo launching a trailering the boat afterward.
