Lake Escape.

That Brandon can fish.

He told that great story at the weigh-in about pitching his bait behind the boat and then thinking he was hung-up on some weeds, but it turned out to be a 4.5 lber.

He is off to a great start in only his second tournament ever!

Calistar

Thats right, WesternBass's own Lee "Gator" Hines is roaming the waters of the California Delta this weekend which included being one of the organizers for the Pro-Teen event and participation in today's Folsom Bass League summer series tournament. http://www.folsombassleague.com/sitebuilde...

Calistar

Its not too late everyone! No late fees...just show up!

and the price is right (only a hundred bucks per team).

See you there.

Calistar

I think I'm fixed up for Friday (Gator),

Uh-oh...I thought you wanted to catch fish?

Just kiddin'...Gator will hook you up.

Calistar

Heres a map to some local ponds...maybe this will help...

Congrats on the win Tom....now please PM the exact location of "that spot" and the name (size and color) of the big bait.

Calistar

You have a PM.

Calistar

The last couple of year's, Clearlake has been on FIRE during the end of july. Climb down off the fence and register...you will be glad you did (unless you hate catching 4 lbers

)

be there or be square.

Calistar

A lot of guys will be out prefishing on Saturday to get on to a bite and increase their odds of getting the teens and themselves bit during the tournament. We'll also be doing some pre signs and other stuff on Saturday afternoon/evening so if you do go out plan on stop by. From what we've heard, a ...

Calistar

Heh, heh...the date change thing has got us a little mixed up... The date of the next FBL event is THIS SATURDAY July 14 . Hoping to see you all out there. Met some new folks in June, hoping to see new faces this time as well (especially from the forum). This will be a fun tournament. We'll get out ...

Calistar

108 in Sactown...

but I guess it could be worse...it was 129 in Death Valley, however its supposed to cool down to 124 by Sunday...

Calistar

Very Cool, Hub...way to step up and help out a fellow angler.

See ya in a few weeks.

Calistar

I think anyone who doesn't stick to the topic is an Elbow...

thats right, I said it...

I think he should buy each and every model of boat, drive each for a year and then decide.

Calistar

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

I guessed 7.43 for Rich Thiel's fish about a week ago and the correct answer was 7.43

Now I guessed 11.8 on Mike's fish and the correct answer was...11.8

damn, this is getting downright spooky.

I can guess the weights, I just can't catch big-un's of my own.

Calistar

with a base fine of $20 for the first offense and a fine of $50 for each subsequent offense

$20 first fine? doesn't sound like much of a deterrent...

11.8

Beautiful Fish.

Calistar

G-Ko,
I've been in about 3 dozen different boats over the last few years (Rangers, Tritans, Skeets, etc) and in my opinion, the 520 is the way to go (as Steve said). It's like a cadillac out there on the water...there are other good ones, but thats my #1 choice.

good luck,

Calistar

If you just wanna get a taste of the Delta, you can go outta Whimpys...that's probably the closest to Lincoln. Then I would suggest either B&W or Korths. Then Paradise (which empties into Disappointment and close to Whites). Ladds is a bit further down in Stockton. I like Russos but it is a driv...

Calistar

The Comfort Inn in Oakley...or the Best Western Heritage Inn in Antioch is not too far. But be aware that the Denneys which is in the parking lot of the Best Western is PARTY CENTRAL on a Saturday night and there will be plenty of noise until 2 or 3am. Music blarin' and loud arguments. If you decide...

Calistar

I moved from Texas to California last July and fished Bridgeport all the time. Alright Sanders...I was wondering when you were going to chip in with some info...being as how you are a Texas boy and all... are ya still glowing from that 9+ you caught (and I witnessed) on the Delta this past weekend?...

Calistar

Thinking about picking up a Lucky Craft Gunfish...most likely the 115 Aurora Black. Any pros/cons?

I normally fish Folsom (of course), Clearlake, the Delta, and Berryessa.

thanks!

Calistar

Gotta echo what the 'Spinner said. Ross England is a stick on CL. Highly recommended.

and...oh yeah...sent ya a PM.

Calistar

Way to go.

I'm still looking for my first one.

Congrats.

Calistar

definitely fishing related... Happy Fathers day to my dad, Greg Sr. Some of the fondest memories I have are fishing with my dad. I can remember back to when I was a kid. The alarm would go off at O'dark-thirty but I was already awake anticipating the day fishing. My dad would walk in to my room and ...

Calistar

Bite Me & 185 were the Closiest. The scale was bounc'in from 7.3 to 7.5 then released.

Ahem...my guess was 7.43

a keen eye from my times as FBL weighmaster.

nice fish!

Calistar

Calistar

Marty,
You have a PM!

Calistar

Yup, offer up a open backseat and generally you can cut your fuel expenses in half. There's a lot of non-boaters on this forum (myself included) that rely on invitations to go fishing....and most of us don't mind kickin' in 30-40 bucks (or whatever) for fuel. We know it costs alot. Don't load the bo...

Calistar

Other than Iowa and Texas, there is nothing west of Kentucky.
Might as well be called Bassmaster-South.

luckily we have the FLW.

Calistar

Great job James and good patience too...some Pros would have lost their minds if their AAA snapped off three times. But its like you said, sometimes the fishin' gods have other plans. Congrats on the great finish. Looking forward to part II.

Calistar

The launch went pretty smoothly I thought. Everyone seemed to be courteous. And eventhough there were 70+ trucks/trailers in the parking lot, I never saw more than 2-3 boats in line to launch at any one time. B&W does not provide the facillities that Granite Bay does, BUT I am in awe everytime I...

Calistar

Hey Dak,
I didn't see your post till just now. I was able to log into tilt just a few minutes ago, not sure if you are still having problems getting in? I know they have been downloading upgrades this week. Perhaps your firewall is stopping the downloads?

later,

Hey Cole,
I'm on fullltilt as well....I go by "Calistar"

I usually hang in the (play money) 2000 entry fee NL area.

great place....

Calistar

Alright Brian...I'm watching you :wink: But he is right folks...if you decide to launch from Korths be very careful. There is a big post in the water that has (I'm sure) dented some boats before. In the daylight it can be a bit tight...in the dark, it can be pretty tricky. The Pirate Lair http://www...

Calistar

I will be the first to offer my services at No Charge. Dang Sieg...is that all it takes? heck, I have a problem catching CL fish too!! (please disregard my report from this past weekend). I'd love to fish with the CL guru sometime and if all it takes is for me to say I have a problem catchin' fish....

Calistar

Actually, we'll start signing up teams on Sunday morning. Scott and I will be there before 4am. Since there is no late fee, the vast majority of teams will sign up then. This tournament will be more low key than a regular FBL event. Basically we want everyone to come out and have a good time. Not su...

Calistar

Brian,
B&W opened up the lower parking lot to go along with the main lot. We should be OK.

later,

Calistar

I keep hearing about all these giant bags being caught at the Delta right now...should be a very interesting tournament.

Everyone is invited and the price is definitely right...

Calistar

Lol... GC, after the way we whacked 'em at clearlake this weekend my nickname should be shown as CALISTAR those fish are swimming around the lake right now thinking "what the heck just happend?...one moment I was bearing down on this very realistic looking crawdad and the next I knew I was in a...

Calistar

All, Here's a mini-report about our trip to CL. I'm posting it to the forum (rather than the Reports page), because I wanted to include photos. I hope you enjoy it. Cali. ------------------------------------------------ My buddy Mark Sanders and I visited Clear Lake this past weekend and WOW what a ...

80+ already signed up. Looks like this could be one of the biggest Rallys yet.

See you there.

Calistar

Mike,
I believe all PMs go directly to the outbox...until they are read by the person you are sending it to...then it moves automatically to the sent box. I *think* this is correct...I'm sure Gator will verify when he gets the chance.

Calistar

Why is it I can hook a golf ball...but not a fish?

Calistar

The neighbor of a fishing buddy of mine said "When it gets real quiet in the middle of the night...you can hear a Ford rust".

Hahahahaha...haha...ha...ahem.

I'm happy for ya.

Calistar

We're keeping our ears and eyes open up here in the Folsom area...if we see anything, we'll let ya know...
