This title seems to be the most accurate, covering the most popular types.

I have found this the easiest to use frog of them all. And to me the hook up rate has been outstanding. So impressed I just flat quit using all my others. I am not sponsored and just my two cents.Thumbs up for me. +1 I used to use Bobby's Perfect exclusively, until they made it "imperfect"...

I thought this was done with as it was defeated once. How many times can these p.o.s. water grabbers keep trying to wipe out the striped bass population? Insane.

Per the manufacturer, it looks like you can switch between the 1&2 battery position at any time. There is a caution statement that advises not to switch "OFF" while the engine is running though. Check it out youself here; http://www.perko.com/catalog/category/battery_switches/ Seems to...

Thanks for your prompt response Ken. Yeah, I'm talking about the Elite 5 DSI. Nice looking unit, but I'm afraid the lack of thru-hull capabilities is a buzzkill for me. I wonder if the down imaging technology requires direct water to xducer contact or is there just not much of a demand for thru-hull...

Tarpon120

It's time to upgrade my old Cuda, I'm looking at a Lowrance Elite DS. I like the looks of this unit, but don't see any option for thru-hull installations. I fish from a kayak and need a thru-hull xducr as I don't want to make some sort of ghetto contraption to hang it over the side! So my questions ...

I hear you, it sucks to hear that this happened to anybody. Let alone somebody you might know. Not sure if it will help you out at all, but here is a link to an article in the Merc that has a pic of his boat, looks like a Skeeter.......

There were still 2 sherrif's boats and a helicopter out there around noon today searching.

I often fish those waters and have spent more time in BB than pretty much any other part of the delta. It kind of feels like my home base (the water that is, not the marina). I see alot of poacher types out there and share the same sick feeling about them as most of you do. I really wish they would ...

Tarpon120

Forgive me if I'm on the other side in this whole "lets manage the fishery better than mother nature" arguement Call me crazy, but I don't get why you feel the need to post your viewpoint on the striper's impact in lakes when this thread is clearly about delta striper information sharing....

Tarpon120

Not all bodies of water are the same

Very insightful, but the OP is talking about the delta. Thanks for sharing your stance though......

Anyway, interesting idea. Keep me posted if anything develops. This would probably be useful and gain more interest right before fall.......

Tarpon120

I don't think that rivers and tidal systems(like the delta) "turn over". The tidal movement and relative shallow depth don't allow for significant stratification of the water column. Dan pretty much explained the closest thing that resembles a turnover with the fish movement on the delta. ...

Tarpon120

Nice, sounds promising. It has been pretty hit or miss for me this season. Mostly miss.........

Hmmm, funny how so many here don't "get" this guy's sense of humor. I have never met hippie, to me his comments come off as outrageous and provocational. This is fine and dandy when you are ribbing your friends, but to expect people you have no personal relationship with to tolerate this i...

Actually, #2 on the map is Orwood Resort (the facility).

The land area just southwest of #3 is commonly referred to as Orwood (as in Orwood Tract).

So, at the end of the day, they are both Orwood!!!

Horry mackerel, thats a biggun!

How many times is this going to resurface after it is defeated? This is effing rediculous. Somebody needs to take care of the POS water grabbing barrons down south.

Four Mexican pirates + anglers packing heat = Quatro Sink-o (orale vato!)

Sounds like one of those heart pumping moments. Good on you for the release, can't see why some people keep the big mommas.

Tarpon120

Dude, that is crazy. You should have taken it to the guys with the pointy hats in the little tin boats. Maybe they would have spared a couple largies!

Tarpon120

Uverse had it listed at 10:00am (which turned out to be basketball BS!) Not sure if ESPN or the service provided F'ed up, but someone didn't pay attention to details. Looks like I will have to wait until next month as well.......

You should have followed Harry and Lloyd's lead and written an I.O.U.

It looks like the replacement circuit board for the smaller models is only $10. For that price you can't lose.

What link, that came off my digital cam? Sorry if the truth hurt you a bit buddy. The only place I have witnessed tweakers stalking out a solo launch and pillaging the boat when the owner parked was in Stockton. (not to be confused with the stolen car issues) I am always on alert over there. Other p...

Tarpon120

Seriously? I have no reason to lie. I live in Brentwood and fish all over the delta. Of all the surrounding areas the only place I would worry about my gear or look over my shoulder while refueling is Stockton. Not trying to be a d*ck, but the gang problem should be accounted for when discussing the...

Tarpon120

There is crime everywhere, I'm not saying that the other delta communities are perfect. What I am saying is that you have a better chance of getting your a** shot off or victimized there than in the surrounding areas. The pic is just an example of what I have seen there.........capiche?

Tarpon120

Firing on how about Stockton is compared to other Delta communities is silly...

Pretending that Stockton isn't thug central is worse.

Nice fish, I'd be happy with one half that size.

the golden rule applies....

Ignorant.

Tarpon120

I would suspect the battery, but it sounds like you are getting this indication on multiple batteries. It is possible that both went south at the same time, but not likely. I would look at your connectors. Maybe clean really well and if that doesn't do it then find a known good battery and test on i...

Tarpon120

Why does it have to be so complicated? All we need to do is get the immigrant poachers to go after sea lions and everybody wins.

Tarpon120

I would try to get my hands on a good xducr, power it up and see if anything changes. Maybe find someplace with a good return policy.......

Tarpon120

The sky is falling!!!!

Tarpon120

I agree with the cooler temps and clouds, but it looks like alot of wind today! Hope the weather stabilizes by the end of the week.

Tarpon120

Thanks Rich, sounds decent.

Tarpon120

What is the word on the street? I'm guessing that the hot weather is still holding the stripers down. Any intel/encouraging signs greatly appreciated!

Tarpon120

That must have been some other lucky dude as I was schleping it to work on Friday. Saturday was the only fishing for me this week.....

Tarpon120

I experienced the same out there sat morning, I was the psycho in the yellow/orange kayak. The clouds were low and a weird low volume hum seemed to come from my rod at times, pretty freaky. The lightning never seemed to be close, but the potential was there, I called it an early day.

Tarpon120

I camped there for the first time last year. It seems to be run pretty loosely. Making contact with the host for reservations and even to check in and pay was hit and miss. I guess you have to catch them at the right time when they are home (they run it out of their house). Here is the link containi...

When did these redesigned frogs hit the market?

I started seeing them a couple months ago. You can tell it is a revised frog if the hook exit hole is round (the older model had a slit). Follow the link in R Mendoza's reply to get the fix, restored it to the previous performance..............

They will dive on you if retrieved even slightly too fast. If it's diving, stop and let it surface. Raise your rod tip then start crankin slow until it starts to wake and clack (leaving your rod tip raised a bit). I like to leave the clip on this bait also.

Tarpon120

Sounds good, it's time for a little surgury. I already got a Slammer, tail in tact on that one. Wouldn't mind if I had this problem with that one soon..........

Tarpon120

I have a couple hammers and could see one on there. How did you get the pegs out/in without tearing shiz up?

Tarpon120

Anybody for a fishing related post? (!) Ribbing aside, what is the best replacement for the AC or OB tail? I have it half @ss repaired with mend-it but won't be surprised when it's gone. How do you go about removing the metal pegs to replace it without gouging the bait?

Tarpon120

Sorry to hear about your loss. It sounds like you were blessed with a good man for a father who lived a full life.

Tarpon120

I tested out both Rich's fix (worked great) and the "port side" hook effect this past weekend. I didn't store my tied on frog in the hook keeper on the rod and still gathered weeds on the left side. This confirms that the hook is off a bit right out of the box, as DeltaDan's pic shows. Thi...
