Is it to late in the season to fish for stripers in
the delta?

THanks,
Mike

Thanks Guys!

Have a wonderful holiday!

Hi Gang, I want to launch my boat and overnight visit some friends in Discovery Bay. They suggest I leave my truck and trailer overnight at either Orwood or Discovery Marina. I am sort of the paranoid type when it comes to leaving my hardware in an unprotected spot.. Should my stuff be safe? Is one ...

Have a great time Steve! Does Butch go with?

I am jealous

[quote=" Now you've got me thinking, what about a trolling motor that can read your brainwaves and all you have to do is think about doing all that stuff......We definitely need some aliens to show up to help us with this!!! :lol: BassManDan[/quote] That would be a pretty simple model as there ...

rexford

Actually the more I think of it the dumber it sounds and your right. It
would be easier to let some non boater pay for my launch and run
the front of the boat.

Lets save this for 10 years and see how funny it is then

DOH!

I still want it....

have a good weekend gents!

rexford

Am I the only one who wants to see trolling motor technology step into the 21st century? I have seen them try a little but I want the real deal with all the bells and whistles. I want and RF controlled motor that works from a thousand yards. I want a keypad that straps to my forearm or thigh. I want...

rexford

Done!

rexford

I heard that they were going to draw Lexington down
to 98% for construction. Will fish survive this level of
draw down? Anyone have further information?

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

Oh no this is terrible news.

Scott our thoughts and prayers are with you. May you
find comfort in the love that surrounds you.

Our sincerest condolences,
Mike & Arlene

rexford

Great information. Thanks All!

Commuter/tow vehicle I have a full size truck with a camper on it and a little honda that I commute in. My honda is getting ready to retire and I was wondering if there is a light truck that anyone knows of that is gas friendly as a commuter truck yet able to tow a 2000 lbs bass boat short distances...

Mercury Mechanic near Bay Area?

Anyone know of a good Mercury mechanic near
to the Bay Area? I have a 2000 150 carb'd engine
that has always struggled to idle and is really
finicky getting on plane.

Thanks,
Mike

There was a lot of verbal support for this. Now is time to pony
up. See Gator's sticky post at the top of the forum. Thanks
to everyone who contributes

rexford

I have been told that most bass boat engines are not suited for salt water as they have aluminum parts. Obviously they sell marine engines for salt water but I would check yours before heading out. I saw a tournament on TV last year where the guys were cutting across a salt water bay and I was curio...

rexford

Check is in the mail. Let me know too.

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

I will sponsor two kids as well.

rexford

Hi Dana, Glad to see you are doing well. Sure hope you can move forward and either forgive or forget. I did a CAST event this spring and it was fantastic. Maybe we can see you next year? I will need a captain for a patio boat if you are interested. As for the Pro Teen it is a wonderful event and you...

rexford

Caddis and The Creek Company are the ones I have experience with. Both are great boats. The Creek Company treats you like a family member. Get yourself some waders, fins and a PFD and you should be ready to go. There are lots of other boats out there and I know there are guys here that can give you ...

rexford

Why don't these stories ever have a happy ending? Like
the guy got the CF number and filed a damages claim
on the guys wake throwing him into the rocks.

rexford

Just got back yesterday. The bite was brutal. I fished hard for a week and struggled all week. The Smallies just shut down. Weather was changing when we left so maybe it will have positive impact on the bite. Had a few real nice followers but got nothing over 2 pounds for me. The norm is a few 3-4 p...

rexford

Steve,

I will be there to help as support crew.

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

Thanks Terry. I was told that there is a 5mph zone that can
take up to 25 minutes to get out of disco

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

Thanks Gator! I will do that. I don't wanna put the little lady
through a two hour launch party. One question about Disco
How long does it take to get to fast water? Past the 5mph?

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

My wife and I are planning a trip to the Delta this weekend and
Launching out of Orwood? We wanted to launch around 7am
and pull around 4pm? From what I read above should I just
pay the price and hit Discovery?

Any info is appreciated

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

Thanks for all the information and opinions. I guess I am in the minority as on occasion I will have a beer while using the trolling motor fun fishing. Case in point I have a week long houseboat trip at Trinity in 3 weeks. I can promise you there will be a couple fish in the live well and a beer or ...

rexford

Can someone check their calendar and see if there
is anything going on at Orwood August 25th?

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

NoCAL, You are correct the blood alcohol level is .08 as in a car/boat. However in a boat you can have an open container while under power as long as the captain of the boat is not included. It is my understanding that in a car no one can have an open container ever. This is what the Sheriff confirm...

rexford

I was going to respond until I realized it was CJ asking. Hopefully
a law enforcement officer can chime in. I wanted someones
opinion from the front of the car not the backseat.

CJ can you even have beer anymore?

Mike

rexford

You can have an open container on a boat as long
as the captain does not have one while piloting.
My question is if I am on the trolling motor does
this still apply?

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

I spent the weekend up there. Watch out as there are at least 2 jet ski sheriff out on the water as well as a patrol boat. The jet ski guys are very sneaky as they race around like all the other crazies then are on ya before you know it. The good news is that they have turned over a new leaf and are...

rexford

Like I said. Not super good

rexford

I would have to say it not super good. He will most
likely need to hit the state parks

rexford

Welcome! You will find a very good group of folks
here. Look forward to meeting you at one of our
rallies!

Enjoy!

Mike

rexford

I think that may have been one of us. Many years ago there
were several posts about this topic by one of our members
I can not remember the name of this person but I do remember
the discussion.

Sight to see I am sure. The pictures were impressive.

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

Welcome to the forum. You are now an official Nutcase in
good standing. With this honor it is strongly suggested
that you join us in as many of our fun fishing events that
you can. Boater or non boater keep a lookout for the
next event.

Welcome!

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

Thanks All!

I will report on my return.

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

We will be camping at Camanche in two weeks. Anyone have a water level report. We are staying at the North Shore and hope there is water enough to get into Camper Cove. When the water is so low you that the campgrounds are a mile from the shore you might as well camp at Death Valley. Any recent info...

rexford

Thats all you got???

Who hasn't had this happen? Andy must have paid you to
come up with this story... Plus a new rod at the raffle? I smell
a conspiracy.. What are you hiding Cuccia? Must be a beauty
of a tale.

Thanks Mitch. Takes a big man to share a moment like that.

rexford

Anyone know where I can find the 32 ounce lower
unit oil with the pump? All I can find is the 10 ounce
tubes. I can find the pump but it is pretty much useless
with the tubes.

Thanks,
Mike

rexford

I am with Chris. I use a leader with nearly all my braid. My
opinion is braid should never touch the bottom as it will
fray and break. I also use a bloodknot. For me they are
are hard to tie but never fail and cast through the guides
nicely.

These guys will point you in the right direction.

My wife mentioned that it would be fun if you guys wanted to group camp before and after the event next year .We camped last weekend and it was really nice. Campgrounds are nice and only a mile from the ramp. I tried to warn her about all you but she would not have it. She said everyone was nice and...

rexford

Man what a great day. As a boater it was made so easy as they had people who helped park/launch us as well as hard working dock support. Pretty much all this boater had to do was go fishing. My partner was Jeffery and we had a great day. We were fortunate to get a couple small fish but he had more f...

rexford

Oh I know the feeling. If they float they are good
and ready for continued use. If they sink they
are bad and need replacing anyway. At least
that is what I tell myself as another pair of pliers,
glasses or cell phone heads towards the bottom.

Make sure you replace that nut soon. (grin)
