Caught this yesterday. Scale decided to take a dump but she's a beast. I believe 10+ lbs. Released of course. New scale on order.

Must of had only one or two to sell. That hat is UGLY.

I got a 30 pound 5 fish limit on Monday (never thought that would happen). I was fishing Clear Lake though.

I'm gonna hit the Delta this week and most likely get back to reality.

Whoopbass

Rub it in with pics. Those are some nice fish. Looks like I will be throwing a white chatterbait next time.

Whoopbass

19 mpg is fantastic. Dodge has great prices for their trucks. The only negative is the transmission. I hear they suck.

Whoopbass

Got to Mildred around 9:30 today. Caught about 10 all day up to 3 lbs. The last couple trips have been very frustrating. The fishing has been fairly tough and no size.

Whoopbass

Just a heads up.......I called on this and it was already gone.

Whoopbass

I used to do that over a hard nap. Wake up in the evening and take a look at the clock and think i'm already late for work. Get up and run around for 5 minutes and then I figure out its actually p.m. and I can go back to bed if i want.

A lot of guys run Merc's premium plus and others only use Optimax oil. There is quite a bit of discussion on the web if you want to make a decision. If you have a carbureted 2-stroke then I believe the cheap stuff works fine but then there are plenty of guys that only use premium 2-stroke oil. To ea...

Whoopbass

If it makes you feel any better i'm sure the pricks that decide what we pay will have oil back to $80-$100 a barrel within 1-2 years. I doubt the oil companies are the reason 2-stroke oil is so high. Mercury knows your going to buy their oil at any price so they don't have any incentive to lower it....

If you have a dremel tool you can use one of the small brush type attachments and get inside the plug on the truck and clean them out. I would start with a test light and see if anything lights up when you have the left blinker on. If your Chevy is like my Toyota then you have one of those converter...

Whoopbass

I need a deal as well. I need to buy 6 group 31 deep cycle batteries. I doubt anyone is going to get a deal unless you know the right people and I do not. Most of these batteries are about the same unless you get something really expensive and then I don't even know if its worth the cost. So far the...

Whoopbass

Just get a new stereo. You should have a Red, Yellow, and Black wire in the hole. The wiring harness to the stereo will also have the same colored wires. Red is for power, yellow is for power/memory, and black is ground. You can pull your speakers out and see what color the wires are and connect the...

Whoopbass

You're right and i'm thinking about getting my feet wet at the Delta WWBT on the AM side. Is there a body of water that you can't finish in the top 3 Randy? Motherlode, Clear Lake, and now Shasta. If you finish high at the Delta WWBT you're a threat to win any tournament in the Norcal area. Congrats...

Whoopbass

I was there a few days ago and it was pretty tough. Water level is low but still very fishable. The ramp is paved so launching is not a problem. Still waiting on this El Nino thing. If it does hit there could be a lot of debris in the water come Feb-Mar.

Whoopbass

It's back up but if you have it saved in your "favorites" it might not come up so you will have to do a search for the site.

Whoopbass

Greed is the answer. These nut farms are making millions of dollars while everyone and everything else suffers at their expense. It seems like these irrigation agencies have total control of the water in our reservoirs. So much control that they have the gall to threaten to drain reservoirs even if ...

Whoopbass

The Delta can be a hard nut to crack and the guys that do crack it are the ones that can consistently catch 20+ pounds during a tournament. I know I can't get on em like the top guys so I look more in the middle of the standings on how the fishing is for the normal guy. There are a lot of 12-15 poun...

In Stanislaus County I don't think you have to pay property taxes on boats valued less then $5,000. You could buy a $10K boat and tell DMV you paid $5K for it and you shouldn't get sent a bill. I have never paid property taxes on a boat i've owned. These counties steal enough of our money as it is. ...

I fished out of a converted 15' aluminum bass with a 25hp for years. They are cheap to operate and they always seem to run with very few issues. They are limited and uncomfortable. The best part about these boats is you can fish them in any body of water as long as your sensible. I used mine from ri...

Whoopbass

It has progressively gotten worse over the last month or so. I launched out of Louis Park a couple weeks ago and it was choked. I got through it but that was the easy part. Trailering the boat was difficult. A ton of hyacinth was between the boat and trailer and my boat would not sit right on the tr...

Whoopbass

That's surprising that the new Trackers ride that well. Are you comparing it to glass Skeeters and Rangers or aluminum? I was at C&C Marine the other day and they had a 18' Ranger aluminum. That was a nice freaking boat. Laid out perfect with huge decks. I was afraid to ask what they wanted for ...

Whoopbass

I would not pay anywhere near that for a tracker style bass boat. I'm guessing that boat wouldn't fish or ride much better then a 25 year old Tracker since they appear to have the same flat hull. Gets some chop and they ride fairly rough. Wind will blow you around. I would buy a $6000 glass boat and...

Whoopbass

I was there right before the BBT tournament and I heard on the radio that there was a fish kill and it was all species. I never did see any floaters but I spent most of my time between shag rock and state park. I did catch a 3 lb bass that was skinny and should have been 5 lbs judging by the size of...

Whoopbass

I can't get the link to work. Anyway's, looks like American Bass and a Kayak club.
Do a web search for "clearlake tournaments 2015 permits" and the top one should say fishing contests state of CA. Click on that and it should bring up the clearlake permits.

Whoopbass

I just got back from there. I don't think a swimbait is gonna work right now 4 ya since the water has a stained tint to it. On Thursday I caught two 6 lb bass in three casts on a drop shot rig with a 4" Yamamoto twin tail hula grub. I had over 20 lbs for 5 on that little bait that day and I did...

Whoopbass

Will you do $160 for the 3? Let me know and I will drive out an pick them up.

Whoopbass

I would spray the boat down with a hose every 15 minutes. After 3-4 of doing this the bugs should be soft enough to blow off with a strong hose or pressure washer.
I was planning on heading to CL in a week or so. How bad are the bugs out there? Do you need one of those mesh head nets?

Whoopbass

I have and have seen others run an extension cord from their boat to the outlet in one of the bathrooms. It is best to pick a site that is close to a restroom as possible. If they catch you they may say something so be on the lookout for employees/rangers. The Kelsey Creek campgrounds are your best ...

Whoopbass

Thanks for the report. I will be heading up there tomorrow for a few days of fishing and your reports help a lot.

Whoopbass

Why don't you go buy one of the no drill hydrofoils from Bass Pro. They are pricey compared to the drill type but if it works great if not return it.

Whoopbass

You have to drill holes in your LU unless which sucks unless you get the kind that clips together. They have a tendency to bite or dig in when you turn which doesn't feel right. Check out the Triton owners forum on the BBC and see how they are setting their boats up. You can also check out the props...

Whoopbass

Have you tried a lower pitched prop or raising the motor one bolt higher off the transom (if possible)? These worked for me. Unless your severely under powered I would not get one.

Whoopbass

Most used trolling motors come without the plug. Just bare wires.
When you say blade I think your talking about the prop. Walmart has em so whoever buys it can pick one up there.
I would just go ahead and list it.

Whoopbass

Fry up some plastic worms.......eh? Is that your best argument?
Were all going to turn into squirrel's around here if were eat what's grown here. Food is grown around the world not just here in the San Joaquin Valley. Why destroy what we have here so the Chinese can eat almonds?

Whoopbass

You said "farms are taking 75-80% of the water that falls in this state." That statement is just flat out false. I don't know where you people are getting those figures. I've seen that statement a number of times on this forum. The facts are that on average, 50% goes to the environment, 40...

Whoopbass

Damn right were griping about the farms sucking up all the water. Farms are taking 75-80% of the water that falls in this state. Enough is enough. We need a limit on farm acreage in this state. Anybody that has a few acres has planted Almond trees on them. These "almonds" are not feeding v...

Whoopbass

Currently Beneficiaries of water projects are required to pay for such new projects. That is why nothing has been built in the last 40 years. Prop 1 will change that and require tax payers to pay for new projects.
The California sportfishing protection alliance is against Prop 1.

Whoopbass

Will a 24V Maxxum work? I have a working but well used Maxxum 65lb variable speed trolling motor. Its far from a beauty queen but the pedal is in good shape. No prop.
Do you have something fishing related to trade for it? I'm in Modesto

Whoopbass

Noco is having a 50% off sale that ends today (Sunday). Everything on their site is half off. Their 4 bank charger is now $180.

Whoopbass

Yes i'm the one you talked to. Let me know when you can meet and I will buy the trolling motor and charger. Jay

Whoopbass

I also sent you a text. If your Maxxum is variable speed instead of the 5 speed type I will probably buy it. Let me know...
Thanks

It said in the Modesto Bee that boats over 20' should launch at Fleming.

Does it have lift assist?

I will continue to fish but close to home. I'm tired of getting butt raped by these greedy oil companies.

Do a trial by deposition. Paperwork on the court web site. Submit it with your bail. Judge will ask officer to submit his story. Officer will not submit, they are to busy most of the time and will not get paid overtime because they will not be going to court, Your word against his judge will throw ...
