8.57 Pounds! She put up a great fight.

So I have been impressed with the large numbers of lakes that are turning on and producing huge limits and toads. Is it just that technology is allowing us to see more? Bullards Bar with 40lbs of spots, Delta with 10 limits over 10 pounds and two over 10lbs!, Melones, And on and on. So, my question ...

I have been taking my grandson for 5 years now. He enjoys the youth activities and I thank all of those that provide their time to introduce kids to something other than video games. Unfortunately, he doesn't like to sit and listen to the speakers. I have managed to get to listen to some when his Da...

Morgan

Sometimes I have to shut it off as I've seen bass 2 feet under my boat staring at the speaker in shallow water. They don't bite when I present baits then, but it sure draws them. When I was in clear 10' and they were all following my boat, I was able to get one to bite on a baby brush hog making it ...

Morgan

Fresno Bass will be there

Morgan

Well I was thinking not near the weigh-in, but still close to shore.

Morgan

Morgan

Why do they make you take the fish out 2 miles to release. I would think since many of the fish this time of year are in spawn mode and taken from beds, that releasing them closer to shore so they could either make another bed or take over one would be better for the fishery? I could see it during t...

Morgan

I was using a 6:4:1. Tried pausing it, speeding it, almost dead sticking. But, when that bait got to where I could see it and then the fish, the fish just lost interest each time.

Morgan

While fishing a club tourney at Pedro, after my post above, at the end of the day, just before weigh in, I had 5 followers. Water was soo clear. Could-of been a contender........ Very frustrating.

Morgan

New to swimbaiting. I've had this happen a couple of times, Throwing a swimbait and right when it gets where I can see it at the boat, there is a big girl following, but not committing. I just panic, pause, but they just lose interest or they see me, I don't know which? I've tried doing the figure e...

Morgan

I have been using the Buffs for a couple of years. My face was really getting burnt as I was always forgetting to reapply lotion. The early ones were not UV. You can also wet them to keep you cool. I also use the hand protection gloves that I got at Bass Pro and always wear a long sleeve fishing shi...

Morgan

Although I don't use it all the time, it is invaluable to find waypoints of submerged structure and identify underwater creek channels and points. I would not buy anything that doesn't have it. And linking them together keeps the waypoints synced.

I just watched this show (had it on my DVR) and was really impressed that they penalized the Pro's for throwing their fish back instead of releasing them with their hand below the gunnel and penalize them for letting the bass hit the carpet. I've done both, especially when catching a small one, thro...

Morgan

I've always wondered why their info states "Non-Refundable Deposit"? Is there always a need for Non-Boaters or do many people lose their deposits? I could see that if it was the participants choice to drop out, but if the field gets filled and their are no more Boaters, why would a Non-Boa...

Morgan

What would you consider the best color? I have 2, 1 with a chart back and 1 with a light brown back. I haven't built enough confidence in them yet and keep switching between them and my spooks.

So when I got off the water today, there were two Sacramento Sheriffs BS'n. So I asked them what is the real deal about the off limits sign going into Perry's and if they can do it since some say it is navigable water. They called their 'boat' guy and confirmed that Perry's can keep fisherman out an...

Morgan

Saw it last night. Excellent. The only part was some guy (that I overheard worked for Westlands for the last 14 years) sitting behind me, kept muttering under his breath when the speakers were talking. He sure didn't like it. The truth really hurts. I highly recommend everyone seeing this. I even bo...

I posted on FB

Reminds me of that time we fished the evening after the Nutcase, you were tearing them up!

I've been using the 15lb on my spinning rods for about 6 months. I enjoyed the extra casting distance. I have noticed that when using light techniques (not enough weight to keep steady pressure like sight/bed fishing), the line wraps up and around on the end.

There is a bunch of them: 10 are listed

My buddy & I are headed to Clear Lake next week and like to eat better that the typical burgers that we do at other places. We tried Sicily's at the airport, but they closed. We usually eat at the Saw Works in Kelseyville, Park Place in Lakeport, Sicily's Cucina in Lakeport. Any new ones along t...

I have sent mine, and also sent my comments to our Lt Gov for his craziness about the mountain lion.

Great article. And look what DWR is doing without a vote! Sounds like someone was bought! http://www.fresnobee.com/2012/02/19/2729060/audacious-delta-tunnel-plan-weighed.html People don't realize that taking water will ruin Northern California. And the pumps using enough energy to power Sacramento? ...

Morgan

Thanks, Someone had told me he had installed a different transducer on his LCX than the one that is built in, and it made a big difference, but I didn't know if he didn't have his settings set right as I could see my bait on the bottom with the same setup.

Morgan

Morgan

I meant for sonar. Is it the best for the new HDS?

Thx Morgan

Morgan

Thanks, Ken, Will that built in transducer on the troll motor work ok as the downscan or do I need to try and use the one that comes with the new HDS?

Morgan

Morgan

Ken, I am planning on purchasing a new HDS with structurescan for the bow. I have a Maxxum Minnkota 101 trolling motor that has a built in transducer that sticks out from the motor. There isn't a picture of the bracket on the Lowrance site. You mentioned in a previous post about getting a STRUCTURES...

Morgan

Ken, I have a dark area that has formed in the lower right corner. Is this something that is from moisture or ?
Does this mean I need to contact Lowrance for repair?

Morgan

Morgan

Thanks, I'll give them a call.

Morgan

Are they still in business? They were in Bakersfield.

And they keep on building. Have anyone checked out Tejon Ranch planned developments? It's the grapevine area. 1,450 acre commercial, 3,450 homes in the mountain, and in the Centenial: Guidelines for the development and design of eight village-style communities offering a wide range of housing, retai...

Marty, Once again you help everyone! I was in need of new raingear, but was not wanting to put up the big bucks, and just retreating the old. The suspenders were getting too stretched.Thanks for saving me a couple hundred bucks and a free tackle bag!

That's a fact, Ken, There I was floating next to some Hyacinths at the Delta eating a sandwich, playin with the menu items, and there ya go....

Morgan

Ken, I have 2 - 28c's and a HDS8 linked together. I have installed the new 4000 GPS. The maps on my 28's will run ok and then the map flips 180 , goes back, flips again. I tried to time it, but it is random, sometimes frequent. The map on the HDS is fine. It does this to both 28c's. It seems like th...

Morgan

Ah, Found it > Menu> Settings> System> Advance Settings> Hardware

Morgan

I thought I saw somewhere how to shut off the LOWRANCE light on the back of the unit. Can someone help?
Thanks
Morgan

Morgan

Thanks all, I usually have too many rods on deck for different techniques, but maybe I'll try multiple colors instead.

Morgan

Morgan

So how long before you change colors? I typically buy way too much and then fall back to using only 4 colors, and haven't had much luck with the black blue flakes, black green, etc. So, I have reduced to just these confidence ones, only to hear at the weigh-in that I should have been using something...

Morgan

Ok, Harold, I'll spill the beans just for you. It's a secret but for the next tournament only use color 229 ......

Morgan

So other than night, low light conditions, or when it's real muddy, when do you use dark colors like junebug. I heard that crawwfish turn that color a certain time of the year. All I ever see are red pincers in my livewells. I have not see any crawfish but know they are a regular food source there. ...

Morgan

Thanks all, I know that since I get all those other vacations, a fishing trip would be outta the question. Ya know it's about earning points.... 1 good deed=3 times fishing. Maybe I can get to both places if the freeway traffic isn't stupid. Looks like from the mousehouse, hwys 91, 60, 79 to Hemet. ...

Morgan

So every year I get lots of vacation, get to spend three weeks on the Delta, 5 days at Clear Lake and extended trips. The wifey only gets 2 weeks and usually does a family reunion, and never really comes up with vacation plane. So this year she asks " How about Disneyland?' So I says sure (even...

Morgan

Just came from Fresno Fisherman's Warehouse where Ken gave a great seminar. Learned some new stuff. Sure appreciate what you do Ken to help us out.

Thanks

Do all of you do your own maintenance on your trailer wheel bearings, clean, lube, replace seals, etc or do you have someone do them? I have done them a long time ago, but I don't have the cleaners to get out the old grease anymore nor the time. For those of you that get it done, where do you go (to...

Morgan

Great! You've helped me a lot through these forums setting up mine and I want to thank you in person.
