My best wishes go out to you Dave. Hope you're doing well and will be home soon. I totally with all the comments above, and then some !!

Mitch

Could be a crack in the fuel lines allowing air and loosing prime. I'd replace the fuel line and primer bulb to start. Also could be a bad coil.

Mitch

PM sent...........

I ran a Minkota 36V 52" on my 520. You'll like the extra power and length in rough or fast moving water.

Mitch

Gloomis 843 MH Hands down. Quick, yet soft enough tip to hold on after the bite and not pull loose

Mitch

I ran a wire from the ground on the trolling motor Plug to the ground on the graph and solved mine 100%

Mitch

Is the motor HPDI or Pro-V

Mitch

Guys, you will NOT find a boat in better condition. Jack is a maticulous person and VERY ANAL !!!! LOL This boat is as close to NEW condition as you can get. Wish I could buy it from you Jack. Sorry to see it on here as I know it is not one of your favorite things to sell. Hang in there buddy. Try t...

Mitch

Come on people !! I'm tired of looking on here for my "next" boat and seeing an ad with NO PIC !!!! I, and many others will NOT even consider coming to see a boat based only on a description. AND PUT THE PRICE IN THE AD !!! NO PIC, NO PRICE = NO SALE This goes for ANYTHING in the classifie...

Mitch

The best thing for you to do by far is join a local Bass Club. Tell the members you are new and more than likely one or more will take you under their wing and teach you. Fish the Club tourneys and watch and learn. Be ready to contribute for gas and launch and you will get invited to fish again. OPE...

Mitch

I've always kept mine in a sealed plastic box like Tupperware. It's lasted for years. I usually buy the larger 2-3k yard spools. Keep it out of the heat and direct sunlight. I store it in my home so it stays at a fairly constant temp. I keep filler spools on hand to take in the boat when I go.

Mitch

Try the Mallard House in Lakeport. On the water, clean, kitchenettes, boat dock. Nice people

Mitch

Gary, I think it's mainly the cost to fish that's affecting the numbers. Entry fees, fuel, motel, food, etc. I would think the best way now for most is the local club tourneys. Less travel and lower entry fees. JMHO

Mitch

Some of the older Lowrance Finders needed a min of 12.2 volts to operate. If it dropped below they would shut off or not turn on at all. They had to be wired directly to the battery and not just at a hot spot in the circuit. This is always the best way to connect them anyway. As for getting a new on...

Mitch

Hmmmmm, wonder if its real. Sure would not pay any money up front !!

Mitch

It may be the push rod from the hitch to the master cyclindar is too long or is sticking

Mitch

I would put the Group 31's in and also get a Stealth charger. That way you would have 36 volts and would charge the batteries while you were running the big motor

Mitch

Guys, if you're going to sell something on the Classifieds, you should ALWAYS include the COMPLETE description of: 1. What it is 2. How much it is 3. Where it is 4. How old it is 5. If there are ANY problems with it 6. AND MOST IMPORTANT>>>>>>PICTURES>>>> PICTURES>>> PICTURES Doesn't matter if its a...

Mitch

You'll love the Ranger 520, but do some testing on the motor and batteries. Adjust the price for any discrepancies and deal with the cosmetics with the seller. Remember, it s a USED boat not a NEW one. If all proves good and you are HAPPY with the boat and the price then go for it. It just may be th...

Mitch

1. Red and Black deep diving Cranks....BUMP THE ROCKS !!!
2. Sweet Beavers in Watermelon and Watermelon/Purple in the Tules
3. 4.5 in Flirt in Spayed Grass or Spanish Fly on Drop Shot around Docks
4. FROGS FROGS FROGS

Good luck and have fun

Just buy a Skag protector from Bass Pro Shop. Hides the damage and protects against any more.

Mitch

WOW !! Great catch ! Hope you did good in the tourny so you can give some info on the bait.

"WAKE ME"

Mitch

Hey Steve !! How's retirement treatIng ya ? Hope you and Vicki are livin it up. Happy New Year.

Mitch

Don't know about SouthWest, but I would NOT trust a rod tube on any airline. I've taken my rods to Fla , La, Tx and Mexico without problems in a 4" black plastic heavy pipe I bought at Lowes. I put drain plug ends on and taped then shut. Also wraped the rods at each end with a rag to protect th...

Drop-shot 6" Robo Worm Aarons Magic in 15-35 feet. Find the first steep drop off if you can

Mitch

I've been told to leave an area both on Clear Lake and in the Delta. I've been threatened, cussed at, and had rocks thrown. I found that when confronted by some "uninformed" person that wants me gone I just pick up my Cell phone and inform the other party that I'm calling the DFG or Sherif...

Mitch

Make a call to Ranger, then you will know for sure

Mitch

Ithats the best way !!! Now you can see the boay before taking delivery

Mitch

Or Oroville even. ???

Mitch

Truckin south on I-5 this week end. And will be stuck on Sun. Would like to fish Shasta or Clear Lake. Any one got room ? Willing to share expenses. I know these lakes and know my way around a Bass Boat and have all my own gear. Help anyone ??

Mitch

Surprised that no one mentioned Brass n Glass or Carolina Rig. Guess I'm jjust old school !! Still a producer for me when the bite is tough.

Mitch

Had both Yamaha and Merc. Would take a Yamaha anyday. JMHO

Mitch

Fished with a well known guide on Clear Lake and he was more concerned with him catching fish than me. He backseated me all day, constantly casting to the sweet spot and only offered me a worm once during the day. Had almost no ice and not enough water for the day,!! I hired this guy because he's al...

CHP has been told to write tickets on all big trucks and any one towing at 5 mph over !! Some hwys such as Hwy 4 has additional fines attached as they are considered "Safety Corridors" I run 2500 mi per week and in Ca. and Or I set the cruise no more than 4 mph over. Slow down, be safe, an...

Try the Mallard House in Lakeport. Safe, clean, Private docks. 707 262-1601

Mitch

Hey Mac, sorry to hear about the rod, however you do have some options. You can just put a new tip on but here's what happens, Fisrt the second guide may now be too close to the tip now and need to be moved back to the middle of the rod between the tip and the 3rd guide. This will balance the rod mo...

Mitch

Just a little info for those who see a snake and are worried if they are poisoness, the easiest way to tell is the shape of the head. If it is shaped like an arrowhead, bad deal. A smooth shape is not poisoness, unless it's a viper, but those are not found in this area. (I've been told) Either way, ...

Mitch

Sounds more like it's the TM not the batterys. Test the voltage at the plug and then check your connections on the plug itself. It may be corroded or even a broken wire. If those are good, try the TM with other batterys to make sure it is running. You can take your batterys to O'Rilley Auto Parts an...

Mitch

Is this going to be a 1 day rally ? If so, count me OUT. To much planing and arranging to get there for a 1 day show. Sorry, just can't justify it.

Mitch

It's time to change out both the pump and housing. Also you should remove the valves and clean them and flush out the lines. It sounds harder than it really is. You've got the best out of them after 12 yrs. I'd replace them with 1000gpm pumps. I always carry a spare cartridge too. If you coat the ho...

Mitch

Clear Lake is still the best site for a rally. ie lodging, boat slips, event hall, parking, RV sites. I hope to make it this year too. Thats if it happens.

Mitch

There's a lot of good advice on this thread, however, nobody has said anything about one of the most important things to do. GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE !!! Get that boat over tword the bank, preferabley the protected bank. Thats the bakn in the direction of the wind. This will give you the le...

Mitch

Ok, so JT may have embelished the height of those waves a tad, but his point is that the big water is tough on smaller boats. I started in an 18.5' Ranger and soon realized that it was safe enough, and fished well, but it also had many other disadvantages too. I moved up to a 492 (20'6") and th...

Mitch

Use a tooth pick to push the "fuzzies" bach in and then use it to apply Gorrilla Glue on the cut and slightly around it. Don't get too much on and it will look goof and stop it from tearing

Mitch

Thanks to all that looked and thanks GW for the kind words. Didn't work out this time but I'll post again when I have an opportunity. I'm going to be all over the West and South East for the next few months so look for me to be looking again. Dom, I hope the new direction works out for you. Thanks f...
