Most SoCalif Anglers and tourney orgs. are getting excited for this lake to open sometime this spring. Check out the lake current state from this aerial view.

more good stuff. What I would love see is something that you can attach to your tow vehicle (either from the roof or thru a back window) and have visibility (video capability) of your boat when on the road or in a parking lot. Cell connectivity would be great to have for real-time txt notification a...

Brian D.

If it is parked close enough to send a wireless signal to an alarm it will work. I've been looking at Simply Safe Home alarm motion sensor and alarm. It's wireless and you could take it anywhere. The Alarm sounder is quite loud and would scare off anybody and also alert you immediately !! Check it ...

I'm surprised that no one has developed a 2-way video system using cheaper cell phone/WiFi technology. For the cost of a 2nd phone line, some bubble gum and duct tape you could have a decent security system that should work as long as there is cell tower within range.

Transformer in disguise? Bridge? War of the Worlds alien?

What! you moved up to the Delta?!

Lots of little fish. Shakey heads, Dart heads will get bit. For numbers fish a 2.8 keitech swimmer on a darter head. 5 lb. test.

No need to take pot shots. Not nice. I don't need to own a Ranger bote to comment on corporate executive shuffling. I am merely reposting interesting news just like any news source, social media site, or oped column. FWIW, I like the Ranger brand and maybe some day I will. Interesting times ahead fo...

Brian D.

A curious point is that why did the top leadership "resign" on the same day. Oh to be the fly on the wall at the factory. Would be interesting to hear the real story.

Brian D.

Lots of chatter and articles out there in the wake of 3 top Ranger executives resigning on the same day. Can't be good for our sport, or can it? Could the next boat out of Flippin AR, be the Ranger Pro 521 XPS Uncle Bucks Series? ----------------------------------------------------------------------...

Powerful units with the easiest menu navigation and user experience that is far superior to Lowrance and other bigger name units. They had pinch and zoom displays years before the others as well as built-in WiFi (with no external boxes). Sonar and GPS capability is first rate and they pioneered and ...

San Vicente on track to open for fishing Spring 2016.

thanks Michael. Good post.

54 lbs at Lake Mead? wow.. that's huge!

Brian D.

Its mechanical and therefore its bound to break at the least convenient time. Pros and con with both types of anchor systems as long as the companies support their equipment. Regardless of whatever you install on your boat, being prepared for mechanical breakdown can mean the difference between havi...

Brian D.

Sounds fun Mark. Post some pics and a google map so we can see this fishing paradise.

Brian D.

I have had talons since when they were first introduced. first gen had its issues as they needed better field testing and had to be repaired a few times by the TM dr. 2nd gen. are Vastly improved with better brackets and talon durability. yes, they are heavy and do affect my holeshot, but its a trad...

Im sent

Brian D.

that was a great unit. X-70A

Brian D.

Well done boys. Congrats.

Brian D.

I just picked up a HUK Jacket. Its a nice light jacket for on and off sprinkles and chilly mornings, however its is NO WHERE near the quality of a Guide Wear , 100 MPH, or SIMs Jacket. In a steady rain, you will be soaked after 60 minutes of fishing.

The No Public Boats enforcement has been going on for over a month. It was in response to Irvine Lakes' insurance carrier not allowing it... or at least that is what has been publicized. That edict stemmed from a previous death from August 2013. The weird part of it is that it happened almost two da...

There are a few High School clubs with the TBF and BASS Nation orgs. Several are in San Diego area.

Ahh... time to recycle the innovation. I still have hooks that are Teflon coated and were in .5 sizes .. I.e. 4.5, 1.5 etc...

Brian D.

Best of luck to you. Which part of "LA" will you reside? As a guess, you will be fishing Castaic and Pyramid since those are the closest. Recommend you join a bass club to get your light line skillz up to par especially for fishing Western lakes. Oh, and watch out for that over-paid carpen...

Brian D.

yeah.. super excited about this lake opening. Tentative date is Nov. 5th, 2015. Look like about 300 parking spots with other fishing amenities. Looks like there are covered shaded cabanas that could be used for weighins. Water is coming in.

Bump.... need to sell quick

Brian D.

LoL... Love that last statement.... "its kinda pricey"

Brian D.

Love fishing this event but could not swing it this year. Best of luck Cooch for a safe event.

Brian D.

Agreed Mark. There was about 11 seconds of almost educational information.

Brian D.

Wow.. bump for an awesome deal and fellow Legend owner.

Brian D.

Well, just spent nearly 5 hrs trying to fish the old SS cable thru the access hole under the console. There was absolutely no way I could pull that wire/with connector without damaging other wires in the process. I was such a hard 45 deg turn where the wire bundle comes thru the starboard access por...

Brian D.

OMG... a Tunaman sighting.

Brian D.

Sad news. RIP Greg.

Brian D.

Nice work Ricky.

Brian D.

VJ are you fishing it?

Brian D.

Congrats DL and Matt.

Brian D.

I was just trying to eaves drop to pick up info on how these work and realized you're going to have a freed up lss 1. do you have a home for that? I've got a hds 12 gen 2 but dont have the structure/side scan equipment. Let me know thanks Ahh.. no worries Red. It does have a home. I will have a HDS...

Brian D.

Thanks Mark.

Brian D.

Thanks for the Reply Ken. Guess I have to bite the bullet and spend time fishing cables in my gunnel. Its almost a 3/4 day project.

Brian D.

You only need one set installed on the front set of wheels.

Brian D.

Hoping you get a full field Billy! See you all there!

Brian D.

Currently have a SS xducer/Down/side scan mounted that came with my Gen 2 HDS-8. Purchased a Gen 3 unit with a newer SS xducer (HD). I don't feel like removing the old version due to time and effort of getting the wires rerouted and pulled thru the gunnel again. Then I have to install the new SS xdu...

Brian D.

Guys. Upgraded my trolling motor to the new 112 lbs. version. I am selling my 2 yr. old Minn Kota 101 lbs. thrust 36v with US/2 xducer adapter that fits a Lowrance unit. Let me know asap. -
