When they ncreased the entry and lowered the payout, what should they expect? Fishermen are not that dumb. At the same time FLW is announcing 2.5 million dollar payouts! Plus very well run Everstart events. Bass has made their beds, now they are having to lay in them. I don't think gas prices have a...

1st choice a bluegill crankbait, which one would depend on depth and water level. I think next would be a jig or bluegill colored zipper worm. You mention a point and current that comes around there, if there is a point and current, I would look for the eddy and that would be my prime spot to cast. ...

Eric,

If you have someone persistantly annoying you, pull the camera out and get their picture and CF numbers and call the sherriff. I'm not sure if CA has a law about harassing a fisherman or hunter, but some states do. This law was intended to protect us from animal rights activists, but maybe we could ...

Someone in the previous discussion asked for fish population data. Here is a link to the graphic that accompanied the article. I think the real thing to worry about is the major decline in the Copopods that fomr the base of the food chain, not just for the smelt, but for shad as well. The article ta...

Pat

There has not been a single comment about this article. They are talking about one of our most treasured fisheires collapsing here. Has anyone noticed the decline is shad? C'mon Delta regulars let us know your observations

Almost the exact same thing happened to Rich Thiel over at Clear Lake and the Sherrifs report ended up blaming him because he did not take evasive action to avoid the accident. Get on the phone to your insurance immediately and report the incident. Don't take any chances or assume they will find you...

I thought this might be interesting to the group, this is copied and pasted from the Bee's web page: Delta danger A decline in fish species and their food source is a reminder of a recurring worry in the West: A broad ecosystem collapse By Matt Weiser -- Bee Staff Writer Published 2:15 am PDT Sunda...

Great story and great perfomance. I'm laying odds it won't be your last one

Thanks for representing the West so well!

This seems to be a regular thing, now you have a BASS and an FLW win! Very impressive

Keep living that dream! Now go into it believing you can win it! You can you know! You have everything you need!

I am convinced now that BASS is not a National Circuit. They just announced a 15 event schedule and have ignored 2/3rds of the country. 2 events in New York doesn't expand things much from the schedules of the last decade I'm sure I can find something else useful to apply my membership money towards...

I like to put #2 hooks on the front and back and leave the middle hook a #4. That keeps the hooks from tangling with each other. I have even gone up to #1 and 1/0 when fishing for stripers. I used to use the Gami EWGs, but actually think I hook more fish with the round bend trebles. The EWGs may hol...

Wow, Bones, sounds like you guys got it going on! You both caught keepers!

If it is a team event and you use a 5 fish per team limit then you can have two weigh-ins per day. That way you aare having 5 fish for each person and stay within the letter of the law.

"We recently saw the Classic won in the last 5 minutes of the tournament. Had that man had a boat that was a few miles an hour slower he may not have had that 5 minutes to use for fishing. " Interesting that you use the Classic as an example, in that event all the Anglers fished out of the...

Does anyone know how to fish lake amador in the summer? At night would be a good choice. I also remember one year in July when the bass were schooling on bait off shore. I used a Zara Spook off of mainlake points, sometimes over 30-40 feet of water and had a ball. I was still catching them between ...

[/quote] The Legend boat of today is an alltogether different boat than the one of the 90's. I did not say that Gary Yamamoto is ultimate authotity on bass boats but I will bet you that he had someone do a lot of research before he bought a boat that he will rely on to help him win the level of tour...

Is there anything else in Idaho that is attracting your attention besides the low housing cost? If that is the criteria there are some great places in the south and mid south that have low housing costs, and great fishing. Now making a living may be another story. I checked out prices in South Carol...

Looks like a great event Lee, I see some familiar names on the list. I hope to get back there again one of these years. Glad you had a great time, hard not to at one of these events.

I have never claimed to be as great a fisherman or as knowledgable about fishing as you are Dewayne. but I do know a few things about boats. Obviously Gary Yamamoto does too. perhaps even as much as he knows about making great baits. Jim Aren't we getting a little carried away here? Gary Yamamoto i...

Pat

Gary Yamamoto won the BASS 2005 Toyota Horizon Award as the most improved pro fisherman last year. He had Senkos before and after the new boat. He had his own rod line before and after the new boat. He had his own fluorocarbon line both before and after the new boat. Seems, the only thing that chan...

I know Steve was smiling this morning when he saw how weather conditions have changed. He is the master of adjustment on the Delta. 13 pounds is a lot to make up, but it could happen on a day like this.

Trap is the man ain't he? Some of the finest eats I have had anywhere. Have a great time down there and catch Big Mamma!

That would be Russ Meyer, if you have been around for a while you would have heard of him, looks like he is back. He is a great fisherman from the Redding area, a master sight fisherman and not just for bed fish.

The term "Nutcase Classic" was coined by one Mick Kitchen aka Micster. It came about during a heated discussion of what single lure would be most productive on the Delta if you could have only one. Micster claimed his rattling crankbait similar to a rattle trap, but of another brand the na...

Pat

John, I think the point being made here that the only time some people speak up is to be critical. It sounds like the Angler's Choice folks did a great job last week-end. I'm sure they know it, I'm sure the fishermen know it and I'm sure the local folks who came out to watch the weigh-in know it. Do...

Pat

Don't forget the venerable splitshot rig, try a 4 inch green lizard, Fan cast it and throw to every piece of cover you can reach, especially out toward deeper water.

Good luck

There is a great freeware tool for picture adjustments called Irfanview. Go to www.irfanview.com to download it. Works great!

Thanks Long, if you scroll down a ways I did a post titled Lake Erie Smallies that has the story. Even though we did not get the expected numbers we got great quality. I hope to go back again some day

Mac, I'm not sure where Dunkirk is. We were fishing a few miles West of the Pennsylvania line. Dean, actually most of the fish were similar in size. The one with the black spots that Jeff is holding was our biggest at about 6 1/4, and Hardshell you are right, the last one on the roll was my biggest ...

Pat

Hi Gang, I just got back from a fishing trip of a life time. My friend Jeff Hahn in Ohio invited me to join him on Lake Erie for the pre-spawn smallie bite. And though we did not catch the numbers we had hoped for the quality more than made up for it. Before this trip I think my personal best smallm...

Thanks guys this is Awesome!
