I would launch at B&W, Brandon island area and on Sunday you can check basstrack on the bassmaster site to find out where exactly the pros are fishing (not sure if they have it available for Saturday too)

kraetzer

I never said anything about the elites own the water, people should give them the spots or the elites should have priority over the locals. What I pointed out in my original post was that we have the 2 biggest (money wise) tournaments on the delta at the same time, which could have easily been avoid...

kraetzer

Jerred, what if it's the other way around and you have a chance to win on Sunday and get to your spot and have an elite guy sitting on it and whack in them? Sure we will always run into those situations but why not try to avoid them? I personally blame both sides and think it's just stupid to compet...

kraetzer

Looks fishy to me

kraetzer

I think it's also bad business for the local tournaments, especially if you are fishing for a truck. just imagine you found your fish in pre-fishing and think you have a legit shot just to find out that an elite guy was pounding your water the previous 2 days and might be in there with you for the n...

kraetzer

Just heard that the biggest striper tournament is that Friday and Saturday too
and the federation has a tournament on Sunday

kraetzer

So we have the elites fishing for $100k and a local tournament fishing for a new car on the same weekend!?!
That could get interesting very quick

Wondering if there wasn't a way to avoid that

kraetzer

If you are a Marshall for the elites, check your emails - the location for the Wednesday meeting / sign-up has changed.

I think they are still closed. Latest news I could find http://www.usbr.gov/newsroom/newsreleas ... rdID=48226

kraetzer

No way. I'm gonna be a Marshall too and looking forward to learn something but you're there in an official role and not just for fun. Altough we had to pay for it, we are providing a service for BASS and the anglers to ensure everything is fair and goes by the rules. I'm not complaining and wasn't f...

... Next up… The tour travels north to Folsom Lake on Saturday, April 18th for the “Capitol City Showdown”, a signature event presented by Folsom Lake Ram that traditionally sees the largest field of anglers as well as the biggest five-fish bags of the year come to the scales! See you all there! FP...

I hate the mobile version of the FPT website!!!

Thanks everybody. Looks like I have a decision to make

Heading up for a 2 day trip to Clear Lake next week and was wondering if there are any good places on the water where you can dock your boat and grab a bite.
thanks

kraetzer

I would say Lowrance and Humminbird are the big 2 players when it comes to bass boats but as you mentioned there are others out there too. Go to a store that has both brands (and others) on display and try them out. As you said, they all cam show you pretty much everything you need, so at the end it...

Is it just me or is it not posted yet on the fpt homepage?

In case you have any doubts about berryessa, just heard that the day one leader of the ctt has 31lbs with a 12lb largemouth and a 7lb smallmouth

kraetzer

it's definitely a sport but as mentioned before, it's hard to present it to an audience on TV when you have an 8+ hour day of fishing spread over an entire lake/river. But I think that's also why I think the live coverage they had of the classic is going to be a game changer. Internet promotion and ...

kraetzer

How could I check if my leaf springs are still good?
I'm going to check the bolts and I just replaced the bunk boards.
Thanks for the information.

kraetzer

Ok, so I decided to go to berryessa. Water in the narrows is still clear and main lake is just a little stained. Keep your eyes open for some pretty good debris fields floating around but otherwise very fishable. Fish are defibetly showing up in the shallows and are getting ready to go into full pre...

kraetzer

With the recent rain and the muddied up water, where do you think/know would be the best chance to find some clear water.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks and tight lines,

kraetzer

Count me in

Just installed mine (really easy). Only went out twice yet, but love them so far. Don't see any difference un-/loading to carpet. I have black gatorbaks and a white hull. Heard that they might leave a mark when you load the boat that would easily wipe off. Sprayed the top 2-3 feet with silicon spray...

Is the dark day ramp at Bullards free or is there a launch fee?

Thanks

I have a HB 798 DI/SI. What are the settings you recommend to see the lure like a drops in the graph like the image in Triton Mikes post? Then is 2D the best view for this technique? 2D would be best. Put your chart speed to 10 and your sensitivity to where you get a good image of your bait and hav...

Did somebody had to file charges for him to get arrested?

You can use the price stickers people use for their garage sales.

According to the bill it's only gonna take another 11YEARS till this goes into effect

kraetzer

Here's a really wild idea......slow down. You know the danger is there.....do you not care about your passengers safety? Prob same guys who are WOT in the fog too. Unbelievable. (now get mad at me, or find a mirror and tell that guy to cool it) Since you seem to know, can you tell us the proper spe...

Everybody pay attention for floating debris! Just went over the sac river and there is a LOT of stuff floating downriver. Keep an eye out for it and be save.

kraetzer

Let me know if anybody stays in west sacramento and I can drive.

kraetzer

How long of a boat right on average do you guys expect for the Sacramento tournament?
Since it's right around spawning time I think most of them are heading south -> I guess 2 hours one way

kraetzer

Got the package in the mail today -> confirmed for 3 days

kraetzer

Toad!

Just got the email notification that I'm in.

Anybody confirmed yet for the Sac tournament?

How is decided who gets a wild card?

That came up 5 feet left and right from me, in the 5 mph zone in old sac (I guess my gps 5 mph are different than others) and than decided to blast off and both cut about 10 - 15 feet in front of me. I don't know if you checked in your brains too and you haven't heard about the tragic events that ha...

Used nitro z-8. You won't be disappointed!
