I can no longer really afford to commute in my tow vehicle so I am looking for a used Honda CRV. I am having trouble locating a private seller as craigslist and autotrader seem to be dominated by brokers and scam artists. Yesterday I called on a post that was up for 30 seconds only to be told the ca...

The guys that race these engines take the oil injection
systems and throw them in the trash. Premixing fuel
removes most lubrication failures.

rexford

Your friends know that could not be further then
the truth.

rexford

I see you live in San Jose

I live in south San Jose by Blossom and Santa Teresa. I arc
and gas weld so if there is anything I can do to help please
let me know. Nothing else will work except mechanical
fasteners maybe. Couple of ubolts and some steel stock
for reinforcement?

I don't even think "new" Butch is old enough to fish this event
even in dog years.

Hope Butch and his Old man partner are both kicking well
past 62.

rexford

Where are all the non boaters? Heck I have a boat and I am thinking of hooking up with Clay just to meet a new friend and offset the costs of fishing a little. I thought there would be a line of folks wanting to get on the water. Must be afraid of getting spanked by a one armed angler. Best of Luck ...

rexford

Wow. What amazing service. I sent a box of severely abused Curados to Dan and when they came back I hardly recognized them. The cranky old reels came back looking like new and working as smooth as silk. If the service was any faster time would move backwards. Mine did not require shipping as I dropp...

rexford

These are some very good replies. It is especially
interesting to note responses from our guides
who are out there every day.

Thanks All!.

Mike

rexford

No. My trips have been so positive that I think I might feel
guilty fishing the water he showed me.

rexford

Last couple of years for Christmas my family has given me a guide trip with one of our well known striper guides. This person has always gone WAY above and beyond on our trips together and I do not want to disrespect him. My question is how do I respect his water and yet incorporate what he has been...

rexford

I remember a Hook tournament back in early 2000 when it
rained so hard I could not see my partner. Rain is no problem
alone but it was pretty funny at the time.

rexford

Hey Steve glad to hear from you too. I figured the smaller I get
the larger my fish look. haha. Hope all is well with you and your
family and that you are 100% healed up?

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

Thanks Guys.

Lake Trinity is where we got them.

Thanks,
Mike

What great news! We are thrilled for you Long!

Congratulations to the Nguyen family!

Be careful here. I do not think giving up on the trailer releases your from responsibility. Especially if you have called in on it. They might decide they do not want to keep it and rather take you to court. I had MT View towing come after me for a car I sold 3 years prior. They can get really nasty.

rexford

The reapplication of FlexCoat should do it.
It happened to me once too. I unfortunately
had a towel come in contact with it and had
a fuzzy mess to make my day. I had to pull
that eye and retie it. ;(

rexford

If you get a chance can you do me a favor?
Can you ask some of the locals or dock hands
if they know anything about the mussel issues
and if inspections are planned for Trinity?

Also any advise to water level would be appreciated.

I can be contacted at mike.rexford@sun.com

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

Thanks Guys, I guess I am concerned on how we are supposed to get all the water out of the engine? Does some water still stay in the engine? I know if I drain it at the lake and then drive home the road trip migrated more water to the lower unit. What about IO engines that do not have gravity in the...

rexford

Not sure what all they inspect as I have yet to do it.
Do they may you lower your engine to see if water
is in there? If so what about the water still inside the
engine? Does that count?

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

Guy,
Crack the top overflow screw. If its milky you know your
seals are bad. If the oil is to low to read use a 90 degree
allen wrench to reach it and pull out a drop of oil.

GL,
Mike

rexford

rexford

If they live longer they sure might.

rexford

I hope so too. My folks live 2 miles from the fire and
are only safe as long as the wind keeps this direction.
Fires up there can jump 2 miles in a heart beat. No
one has been hurt yet so lets pray everyone stays safe.

rexford

What a terrible tragedy. My thoughts and prayers
go out to the family.

rexford

Everything I have ready has pointed to these
lakes not being threatened. Has anyone heard
anything different?

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

Thanks Guys!

Mike

rexford

Do we have all the inspection information archived?
I was told there was some paperwork I needed to
have filled out.

Might be cool to have a sticky that contains all the
updated info?

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

They have had 12 months to work this issue so I really
do not put much credit in them being able to re open
the lakes in 2 weeks.

rexford

I have one question for this lunacy. What happens if you
fail inspection?

rexford

Water officials took the unprecedented step Tuesday of banning boating in all Santa Clara County reservoirs - at least until May 23. Citing the need to protect the local water supply from invasive shellfish that have hitchhiked to California on the bottoms of boats, they have barred all watercraft i...

rexford

Thanks Guys this has been a huge help.
We are going next weekend so I will let
you know how I do. As for rods Gator
and Wolfman have hooked me up!
BIGTIME!

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

I was hoping someone could shoot me an email and share the best way to fish Discovery Bay? My father who has terminal bone cancer can no longer use his ski boat outside the 5mph zone as with any wake he risks spinal damage. We put a trolling motor on his boat and an advert in the classifieds looking...

rexford

I think we found our chili cook for the next shootout!

rexford

I was going to have some fun with Gary but I
figured he would drive all the way up here
to kick my a$$ and not even charge me for gas.

rexford

Agreed. Thats why I put it in poll form so we might
get some good numbers without all the opinions.
No offense meant to anyone. Was just looking to
see if we were in tune in this economy. Thanks to
those who took the time to submit. I got what I needed
so I don't care if its nuked.

Mark,

I don't get what you are talking about? I do not know why this
should upset or offend you but I would like to know what
people are considering appropriate in TODAYS economy.

rexford

That would be the less then $30 option (grin)

rexford

Dremel tool with cloth fitting and some mild wax.
Takes even the hard plastic dock material off

rexford

Has anyone used the wireless foot control trolling motor?
I am interested in your opinion on function as well as
any input you might have. I also am curious to the size
of the foot control?

Gene is helping me put a TM on my fathers boat and this
wireless might be a good option for us.

Thanks,
M

rexford

Thank you Photon that is exactly what I have been looking for.
thanks!

rexford

Oh man that is terrible. I can not imagine the despair this person must have felt to have been able to go through with something like that. I hope they find his body so his family can have some closure. May we all be thankful for our own health and maybe a little more understanding to those that mig...

Hey Dave, Glad to hear you are doing well. Lets get Stony to hit us up with some Orwood Bloody Marys some morning soon. ;) Man seeing those old forum shells really brought back some memories and old friends. Seeing Cal put a smile on my face. Greene How is the leg? Hope you are able to put a boot to...

rexford

Yeah. How much is this going to cost me?? This is going to work just like Ca insurance. The only guy to hit you is the one without it. I am all for safe boating guys and admit I have not read the proposal. I am very nervous about the cost associated with this and how it would be managed. Not sold ye...

rexford

Hey Steve,

Glad all went well and that you are feeling good.
We send our thoughts your way for a continued
speedy recovery.

Take care!
Mike

rexford

I don't know. I have not seen a Bassmaster since they
left the state. I do recall some of the fish looking a little
light. All good fish however.

rexford

Hey Kent,

As much as I would love to take you up on your generous offer
I am unable to attend this year. Please put my pass to good use
and thanks again for everything!

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

If you could borrow one of your competitors fishing attributes;
What would it be and whom would you borrow it from?

Thanks,
