Mike is right, the weather is going to be iffy.....it blew all night here in Vegas, and it is coming out of the SW....I'm fishing Mohave tomorrow, and not looking forward to it.....love the lake, but it will howl....be careful guys.....Sunday is supposed to be nasty in Vegas, I know it is a little w...

B Becker

Ricky, I don't know about the parking thing, but I think they are going to rope you guys off a section....launching right now is fine...the lake has come up a few feet this winter and the ramp is in excellent shape...still only 3-4 boats at a time, but at least no holes or rocks and junk. Lake Mead ...

B Becker

Keith, I'm not going to comment on the tournament thing, but I went on patrol with my uncle one time and we were gunning (radar) people on the freeway....well, to make a long story short, if you were in a crowd of boats and he picked you out, you have a defense, because a radar gun can't single out ...

B Becker

Are you fishing the the river down to Havasu, or out of Katherines on Mohave??? I don't know who guides out of either place, but if you call Anglers Pro Shop in Havasu, they might head you in the right direction.......

B Becker

Easter is the 23rd.....is that the Del Mar weekend????

B Becker

SHUT UP!!! 4lb test fluoro!!!! wholey smokes....dude that is just awesome!!!

B Becker

Thanks Brian, I feel fortunate to do what I love to do (teach and fish).....pretty cool....the dates are wrong on the flyer, but there will be plenty of others doing their thing.....I wish I was around this weekend to listen to Robert....I have a tourney both Sat and Sun...wind is supposed to howl o...

B Becker

I will be at Bass Pro (Vegas) on the 8th, 9th, and 16th.....Have fun Brian!!

B Becker

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

B Becker

Go gettem Murph....and gee look at my last post: some guy named Terrance Rath.....it is going to get tougher!!!

B Becker

finally looked at the pairings.....I like to throw a couple more names out there....Murph can do well on Havasu, he won a WON a couple of years back there, so he knows the lake: good luck Murph, and another name out of nowhere is Terrance Rath.....I drew this guy a few years ago in an Everstart on H...

B Becker

Mike is definitely the local favorite....I don't know who is fishing, but Hawk is going to be tough too. Love to see Klinger get up there.....weather is going to play a major roll....lots of weird stuff on the way starting tomorrow.....it may howl down the river on Friday....never know.....I think i...

B Becker

Check out these results.....49 anglers - one limit - 18 blanked (including myself)- average fish caught by teams: less than 2 - I have never seen anything like it....the buzz before the tourney was it was tough, but wholey crap!!! The lake looks awesome, water is up, grass is growing, brush is getti...

B Becker

for the money, you can not go wrong with Bass Pro's XPS Fluoro.....that is all KVD uses and he throws the heavy stuff too....I'm not a fluoro fan either, but that is what I use if I have to (big stuff)....Maxima makes a great fluoro, but it is a bit pricier than BPS.....

B Becker

long day???? should be a big fish tourney!! may be long if you get back-seated bed fishing, if that is what you ment, but I think it is going to be a solid tourney....I wish I could fish it....

Mike- I pm'd you!!

B Becker

Very Good to hear Randall,

I hope to see you on the water soon....Mohave this weekend??

B Becker

Hey James, feeling was mutual....I knew the weather would hurt me....and I stayed too long on that bank we got our fish on.....they never came up.....my Sunday partner was more than patient with me and made me feel I was doing the right thing.....I wouldn't have changed a thing....it just didn't hap...

B Becker

The best idea I have heard in a long time: ICAST/US Open......and to broadcast it at the show......wow!! Rather do August than July, but either is better than what it is now......as a teacher I get screwed because it is always the first week of school....nothing makes a principal more mad than a sub...

B Becker

I'm with Murph....let's go to Powell.....that has turned into quite the fishery......I say Mead in March, Havasu in April, and Powell in September....that would be awesome!!! I do wish we would fish Mohave again, but that is just my personal opinion and I'm sure only a dozen or so anglers would agre...

B Becker

Ringer... Nice meeting you too....it is always fun to meet the guys in person that are on this site.....I'm with you Ricky....I have guide wear bibs and my legs were fine.....I had these stupid vent zippers on my jacket that leaked right through.....I will be off to Bass Pro this week to get a new s...

B Becker

I was pretty much on target with the weights....less than 20 pounds for 2 days.....I knew the weather would hurt my fishing....I just didn't adjust.......it was a bad time to find out my Columbia jacket wasn't worth a crap!! came in twice to change clothes, but never quit!! went from 12th to 26th......

B Becker

booya, I expect nothing less than what you said.....this is one of those lakes that tests your patience more than any other (even Mead)....so what do you think will win it??? I think definitely less than 20 pounds for two days.....I going to say a little over 16.....so how many tourneys do you think...

B Becker

wow!!! I hope we get close to 100.....I know 150 will be pushing it.....man, Pleasant used to get close to 200 every time it was a "pro" type tourney.....Scott, I think that Roosevelt tourney will hurt big time.....and after what Ricky said about room rates, it could kill the budget of a l...

B Becker

thanks Dave....hey quit calling me Mr. Becker :) ....you make me feel old.....what a minute, I am :lol: ....thanks for the words.....we will see....and yes, I will see you at Mead.....you put your time in as well and will be a force to recon with......you have the right stuff to do this sport....kee...

B Becker

Very!! just got back yesterday and after 3 days of 10 hours of fishing.....I have two spots.....should be nice and crowded!!! I leave tomorrow to solidify my stuff......looks like rain too, so everything can change.....this will be a true test!!!

B Becker

Hey Top, that is BS that tournaments caused this......I would be almost certian we had nothing to do with it.....we are down stream from a lot of people and a ton of DUCKS!!!....yes, ducks......water fowl has always, and will always be a major transporter of any plants and fish, and whatever else......

B Becker

I met him last spring on the Delta....yes, he is back living in the Stockton area (or close by).....so yes, you guys are in trouble with that guy.....he is one of the nicest guys ever!! and yes, he is probably one of the best fisherman in the COUNTRY....I would definitely defend that statement!!

B Becker

I have to because that is my alma mater......so if they ever do something in the football area (probably when Hell freezes over)....then you can't say that I'm on a bandwagon.....but if you want to talk basketball (which I hate!!!) then we can talk....ok, UNLV doesn't have the major history UCLA doe...

B Becker

I used to like you Ray.....UCLA?? yuk... I hate all teams from LA.....still hate the Rams too.......but you are right, they will be loaded, I'm not a big fan of Neuheisel....but Chow is a huge addition.....I met the offensiver line coach at UCLA...don't know if he is still there.....he has been all ...

B Becker

Thanks Ricky, it has been a couple of years since I fished the circuit......I just couldn't remember....I wasn't slamming the system.....I paid awhile ago as well, and I haven't received anything......but they have been at Shasta and I'm sure they are a little swamped.....I'm not worried, I have nev...

B Becker

I spent a day in my backyard throwing the Luck Es, Basstrix, and Money Lure in my pool...I tried your weight idea (long skinny mojo type weight), I used finish nails (all sizes), and then I used the weighted hooks....sorry, but the weighted hooks worked the best....it never rolled.....the baits woul...

B Becker

Hey Ringer, you shoucl be good to go......I don't remember ever getting a confirmation letter fron WON in years past....just show up to the draw on time to check in (Friday between 3 and 5 - that is Mountain time).....you should be fine, I'm sure there will be more than 39....guys in this circuit li...

B Becker

Caveman, usually where-ever you see the Pink Stuff, you canask that dealer to get you the mussell stuff to.....one bottle should last you over a year...you don't need much....you just spray it in the livewell and maybe in your transom area....I have it stocked at a few places in Vegas....don't know ...

B Becker

Mike, nice job at Shasta.....about Havasu, it won't be that tough this year...you are going later in the year than last year.... huge difference between late January and late Februrary.....some guys could be looking for smallies on beds (depends on weather).....be ready to be very flexible....you wo...

B Becker

Hey YMF, ty this link to the Bass Pro Shop Extreme reel...it will run you about $80, but maybe going on sale soon with the Spring Classics around the corner......I think they sometimes go on sale for $60.....but give it a try.....I put a guy on one last year, and he loved it..... http://www.basspro....

B Becker

Hey A2F, also check out the radio and tv sections of this site.....you will learn a lot from there too....love your comment about being a dry sponge....that is exactly what you need to be!!! If you ever venture to the hell-hole they call Lake Mead (Las Vegas)....fire questions away!!! good luck and ...

B Becker

hey Jason,

after looking at it further, I think it may be the TD....Jim Kirkwood does an awesome job and he is the main reason I fish ABA....I just wanted to ask about the tourney photos....thanks

B Becker

Jason, I think you guys do a great job, but I do have a question.....how come it takes so long to get the photos up on the website for the circuits that we fish....we stick around for pictures (top 5) and then never see them.....these are the things that I think sponsors want to see too....just a qu...

B Becker

Everyone hit the nail on the head, one way or another, I too believe in the products that I represent. I used Bass Pro rods and reels before they offered me a contract. It took me two years to finally talk to someone at Maxima. I don't have to sell the gitzit from Canyon Palstics, it sells itself, a...

B Becker

Just bringing it back to the top....I really need someone for Pleasant....I am signing up the week after Christmas....thanks

B Becker

Well, the announcement is out, Murph, are you fishing??? I am excited, because I pretty much took last year off due to selling a boat and other stuff.....I just want to fish for more than $1,000 and can only afford to take Sat and Sun off.....so, yep, I'm excited!!! I hope to see you out there....yo...

B Becker

Shoot, that is National news......not to add more sorrow, but we had 6 kids shot at a bus stop 2 days ago (no one was killed, but two are in serious condition), and a kid brought a gun to the high school I teach at on Monday.....and he is one of my best kids....and I teach at the best high school in...

B Becker

I plan on signing up for all 3 of the Southern tournaments....PM me if you are interested....thanks

B Becker

Pete, I love Havasu, and I know what it has to offer.....but have you been there in the summer??? I'm sure you have, so tell me how it was after 10am...the mornings are awesome, but like I said, wait until the hangovers wear off......try getting in and out of the river when everyone is running to th...

B Becker

I vote for Sat-Sun.....and I rather see cash than a boat.....I liked how AC paid their pro ams......I would have fished the AC Open last year if it were Sat Sun......that is a great tourney, I'm sorry I missed it....and yes, stay off Havasu in the summer (sorry Ricky)....I love it,but it is way too ...

B Becker

Careful Ray!! I'm not the only one that is piping in on the different kinds of fluoro out there, but read what others are saying....BPS fluoro is pretty darn good for the money...BPS is far from cheap crap!!!....I am very lucky to have them and Maxima....Maxima is an awesome fluoro, I just think it ...

B Becker

Mead, in the rain and wind!!! what more can you ask for......

B Becker

Techron from Chevron is a great additive....so really all you have to do is use Chevron as much as you can....try to stay with one brand of gas, due to the additives and detergents that they use....sometimes when you mix brands all the time it will make a motor run rough......I have to use Ring-Free...

B Becker

I too, have the ifinder h2o.....it is great, especially if you sell your boat....you can take your gps with you and not give away all your hot spots if you forget to delete them all.....

B Becker

I have FSH4DOH on my truck.....translated: fish for dough ($$$)

I have seen: GOTBASS, DWN2H2O, FSH2WIN.....
