Prayers for Wild Bills family.

Good News. If any of you have a youth hunter, please take advantage of the outstanding youth hunts offered by CWA. Check out thier website. Also if you can take a youth to the special hunt at Klamath Wildlife Refuge you wont be sorry. My son will turn 16 on Sept 21 so he cannot go this year.

How many other states require this 6 hr rule for tournaments? If anyone knows please post.

Turkeyman

Zorro lights. I just picked one up from C&C in Modesto.

Defintely Clear Lake in the Rattle Snake arm. The shot with two poles was a dead giveaway. And is Brent really unfamiliar with that lake?

Turkeyman

Well, how did it go?

Turkeyman

It's a small lake with a 5 mph speed limit. You can drop the trolling motor right at the ramp and go left to the dam or go right and fish the trees and tules. There is a grass patch on the left side of the swim beach that will hold some good fish. The back end of the lake is a large flat with scatte...

Anybody use them? How, when ,where etc. any info appreciated. Thanks

Turkeyman

+1 on the Yozuri line, i use the 6lb for dropshotting and have actually pulled my boat around before the line broke.

Turkeyman

If you have an in line fuse holder take it apart and visually look at the fuse, you should be able to see a small wire running the length of the glass, if not and there is a black flash burn area the fuse is blown. Also check that the fuse holder is making connection to the fuse, I had to change one...

There is a Fresno Bass club tourney at McCLure tomorrrow, anybody have any info as far as where, $$, etc?

Turkeyman

There were a few weeds but I think the water was higher and they weren't on top. But it did seem that there was less than in years past. I did notice a bunch of no parking signs in area, can you not park by the bridge anymore? We parked at the wildlife area and walked over.

Turkeyman

Hey Frank, my son and I fished the rocks off of 33 at the forebay, my son caught 1 keep about 4 lbs and I caught one LMB. Had a few boils.

Turkeyman

Never hooked a sealion, but did get a nice fight out of a bobcat at McClure once.

Turkeyman

Don, congrats on the fish. If I knew they were biting I would of went fishing today instead of working.

Turkeyman

Did you get the last one I sent on Friday?

Turkeyman

Frank I sent you a PM last week. Did you get it? Have you been able to check out what I told you? I haven't been able to get back there yet, maybe Sunday.

Turkeyman

Regardless of who is to blame for the fish kill, I think the anglers should have taken it upon themselves to clean up the situation that transpired. If there was "100" dead fish then only 20 fishermen could of picked up 5 fish each and cleaned them and used the resource. Personally I do no...

Turkeyman

Joe, so I take it you didn't catch a big one last Sat at Melones? I would say Pedro has more big fish, but as Joe mentioned there is a lot more pressure there aand more tourneys so it gets more exposure. There was a 45 lb limit weighed in earlier this year at Melones, so there are nig fish there too.

Turkeyman

Great deal, but be careful for what you wish for. My son was the same way and now he about to turn 15 and lives and breathes fishing. If my only worry is that he skips school and stays out late to go bass fishing things should be fine.

Turkeyman

Got mine in today's mail.

Turkeyman

Tony it was nice meeting you at the iCAST show, hopefully you guys have recoverd from all the walking around.

Turkeyman

Maybe after they fish a few they will learn how to handle big fish so they don't die after the weigh-in and pictures. I suppose you have never had a big one die??? Maybe you haven`t ever had a big one in your livewell to try to keep alive. They caught the fish first thing this morning and it wasn`t...

Good to meet you too. Hope to see you at the next one. Now if we can just get 5 over 13".

Turkeyman

If your not doing anything wrong, then why worry about it? Everytime I have been searched by a warden they have asked to check(unless it was a federal warden, the first line of thier job description says they need to be a PRICK), I've never said no to them, so I don't know if they would be pricks th...

Turkeyman

Yes there is a poe man's this friday 24th at Fleming. Check in is at the trading post. $100 all in. Robert has changed the rules so that 3 can fish in the boat as long as 1 is 16 yrs old or under.

Turkeyman

I believe there is one this Fri. and every two weeks until Sept. Robert doesn't post here anymore.

NO there are no largemouth there. Don't bother making the trip. Probably be windy anyway!!!! Only stipers.

Turkeyman

I have had this happen several times while duck hunting. As long as you are in your boat and not on the land as mentioned before you are good, according to the local game warden. Last year a guy tried to run me out and I told him to call the warden and asked if he wanted his number, I told him I was...

Turkeyman

Thanks Oldschool, I was thinking it would work well if the end of the braid was tied with a small overhand knot with some super glue to keep the line from slipping down.

Turkeyman

Spent the weekend in Nevada riding quads and dirt bikes, exploring old ghost towns and gold mines, with my son and a few friends from work. Rode over 200 miles on the bikes in wind, rain, sleet and snow. Saw some really great scenery and ate some really good food, and had a great time.

Turkeyman

Has anyone tried to attach braid to flouro with a nail knot like they use in fly fishing?

Turkeyman

I can't wait to fish this one again this year. My son and I fished it last year and had a blast. The fishing for us was not good but he walked out of the raffle with and armload of stuff.

Turkeyman

My son and I would be in if dates allow. Used to go with my dad and uncle to shelter cove and fish with spinning rods and 15 lb test. Caught a 14 lb ling when I was 9 years old. Great times.

I saw that fish the next morning at the bait shop, they held it overnight in a minnow tank, that fish was huge.

Turkeyman

If you want numbers McClure has been kicking out a lot of fish to 3 lbs most being 1 3/4 lbs.

Turkeyman

Caught a lot of fish last Sat. on senkos. Fish were up shallow, just nothing over 3 lbs for us. Dart heads, drop shot all will work. Have fun and take a lot of baits.

Turkeyman

Is this unit any good? I have found a new unit at a very good price and was wondering if it is worth buying or keep saving up for the HDS?

Turkeyman

I always wanted to fish there when I lived in Fresno, but had no boat at the time. There are fish in there and it looks alot like the delta. The water that fills it I beleive is from the San Joaquin River and from the Delta-Mendota canal, so anything that swims in the delta is likely to be there too...

Turkeyman

I heard Warmouth robo worm in 6" was working well.

Turkeyman

I have better luck with the leader being mono as it will help float the bait up off the bottom a little. I typically use 12 lb in the lakes and will go down to 8 on a spinning rod if needed.

Turkeyman

HOLY CRAP!!!!! I will be there all next week on a houseboat trip and probably won't get 43 lbs with all the fish we catch during the week. Unbelieveable.

Turkeyman

The DFG must change the size and limits of stripers, so how about 30 fish over 36".

Turkeyman

I talked with a guide from that lake this morning and he is taking his clients to Pedro instead of Melones. The bite is not real good but there are fish to be caught, I will be there next week on a house boat trip so I am hoping fot the best.

Turkeyman

I never broke a rod until I started buying the more expensive models. Go to Walmart and pick up aa few and you won't break them. However giving up the feel, weight, balance is not worth it. Abuse and using the wrong rod for the job is always a big culprit.

Turkeyman

You could always set up a free ice cream stand in front of weight watchers

Sorry couldn't resist.

Turkeyman

You and my father in law would get along fine. He will drag a c-rig for hours and never start the motor to look at any other part of the lake. As long as he catches a fish now and then he is happy. Drives me crazy!!!! That's why I take my boat now. It is a great way to catch fish and saves a lot of ...
