Hey all out there! I'm currently sitting on the waiting list and looking to secure my spot in the tourney. I'd really appreciate if any Pro's out there would consider signing up with me. I'm out of Henderson and am up for some pre-fishing too. PM me and I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for consi...

Regarding those that hit these boards complaining about poor turnouts, or complaining about a derby at the Delta in February, or cruddy payouts, only fuel my desire to support WON Bass even more. I'm just a AAA cutting my teeth on this circuit, striving to get to the pointy side of the boat in the v...

You may want to keep your eyes peeled and ears close to the ground from something coming from 3M Scotchguard. I just had dinner with a director from the division and asked this very question. I commented to him that "I heard guys speak of spraying their rainsuits with Scotchguard to improve its...

How do you post pictures into you message here? If y'all tell me I'll zap in a close up pic of this hog. Thanks![/img]

Thanks for the airline info, I will definitely check into your recommendations. I saw Alegiant flies into Stockton, but not on the 4th of Feb for some reason. I'll figure something out. I didn't know about Merced.

Yeah, I spoke with Ashley today about the very same topic. I was planning on traveling in with my friend, leaving early Thursday morning from Vegas. I was planning on "working from the phone" during the drive. Then, my boss decides he wants to come to town for the World of Concrete convent...

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the show "Hookin' Up" with Mariko Izumi. She's like a green pumpkin with purple flake tube and I'm a hungry smallmouth bass. "MaMa!"

Yeah, I'm #5 on the wait list as of Ashley's email the other day.

MG, thanks for the props dude! I can't help thinking that if I only had 2 more pounds on day 1, I would've finished in the top 5 or 6. I struggled to catch my 5th that day, and Z-Thompson provided me great opportunities to make good casts all day. But, I was very happy with the move up the leaderboa...

Gary, I've never met you, and I've always thought highly of you. Now I can surely say "I think even higher of you." I'm an aspiring angler looking to move upward amongst the AAA ranks, fishing as a co this year along the FLW West, etc, and I am a strong advocate of minding my peas&cues...

I just called (8:15 am PST) and discovered I'm #2 on the waiting list, however "once they sort through the priority stuff" the dude said I should move up and I should go ahead and start making arrangements. He also said they plan to have confirmations heading out by the close of business t...

I'll sign that memo! The BendsMender is soo easy it's stupid. You hold your fish by the mouth, hold 'em over the water in the livewell, stick the needle into his throat, submerge him into the livewell water so that the end of the snorkel goes under, watch the bubbles pour out, when it is almost done...

MG! I'm nuts about baseball. How about them "yankthees." Tell Clint I said "what's up" and I'll be looking online to see you guys at the top of the leaderboard. Hope all is well. Tell Ruthie I said hi too. NBW, Mike & Lynn, ........ you guys ever gonna do anything in the futu...

Give the Vanderberg's a call. Ken and Stan are tournament anglers and have great rates. My 2007 Z20 premiums are $512/year. All the typical stuff, plus coverage during tournaments. You'll find that the State Farms and Progressive's won't do that. 1800 bass boat, ask for Ken or Stan Plus, when you ca...

Brent's recommendation is spot on! Tom Phillips is one of the nicest guys you'll ever run into on the fishing scene. He drove to my house and installed my locker-bar on the boat, in the garage (Vegas). Call him and see if he's planning any trips to northern CA in the near future. And, if he is, he'l...

Okay, so we know what the off-limits days are, and the official practice days are for typical FLW tourneys. Correct me if I'm wrong here too, but I recall Charlie Evans statement was ""you could fish on Shasta during the WON Bass event, as long as it is "within" the practice peri...

But isn't there still a conflict with this tournament and the new rules. It was stated that the practice period would be minimized down to 3 days (Sun/Mon/Tues) prior to the Wednesday Day 1, and "off-limits" would be prior to that. So, therefore there would be a violation by fishing WON on...

Don't forget, there may be additionaly payouts depending on Ranger Cup qualification. That is, if Ranger can afford to continue the program.

Plus, if you make the top 10, there's a chance to fish in the FW Cup.

Dude,
Does this mean you may pass on the Delta trip?? Or, are you gonna do both?? Scratch that..........you are doing both.........and bring lots of pictures to share with us.

Take care,

Ern-Dog

Where is the Bass Jam located? When? Thanks in advance!

First, let me begin by saying that I have 14 Powell rods. All application specific. And I love them. Here's the stats: Powell offers a very complete line of Bass rods, has a kick @ss warranty program should anything go wrong, a very affordable price, and most importantly great performance. I don't f...

MG......let's fish on Sunday. Bang-Bang!

I've been pre-fishing like a man on a mission lately. Even though the water level is down, the bite is still there. I'm feeling more and more confident on Mead daily. Fishing as a AAA, I'm determined to make a solid contribution. Can't wait! Pro's, if you're on the fence, you need to pull the trigge...

I just ordered the Western Region 2009 Hot Maps from Navionics today. I own two LMS 332's (one at the console and one on the front deck). I am extremely anxious to get out on Mead and work with it. The Navionics dude told me they added many HD versions for CA lakes. For 149.99 I sure hope it enhance...

I've got one in the box and will be placing my order tomorrow for another. They don't weigh a thing.

Is this Larry? If so, I'd like to mention that I won't be able to fish this Saturday. I'm currently out of town. My Uncle Joe V. may make the trip out to fish single for our team, but at this point I'm giving it a 5% chance. We'll make it to the next one for sure. Happy Holidays too.

I just did a full blown analysis of marine batteries. I purchased 4 Interstate Batteries. My decision was based on cost and battery life. You could spend $1000 for two years of battery life with Trojans or Optimas, or you could spend $500 for 18 months of battery life with EverStarts or in my case I...
