Re: BASS GEAR IN EUREKA?
Well, per my post...that was back in the 80's. So it is no longer the "New" Outdoor store. I've seen Tom a few times at Clear Lake and I thought he told me he still worked there. Maybe not because it's been a few years since I have seen him. Sounds like the Outdoor store gave up on fishing...

Re: BASS GEAR IN EUREKA?
No, that's not the place. It was in Arcarta square. I assume it's still open but I could be wrong. Tom knows his stuff. He's a straight shooter...not a clown by any stretch.

Hey BassmanDan. I went to HSU for 1 year in 83. I can't remember much :wink: , but do remember what a great guy Terry Roeloffs was as well as Professors Bob Kelly and Chip Cannon who taught a flycasting course for 1 credit! Bob Kelly convinced me that I'd be better off as a business major . So I tra...

Re: Getting my son interested in fishing--SF Bay Area Ideas?
You may want to try light tackle rock cod fishing on a partyboat. This is usually done in shallow water so he won't have to be winching 1 lb. weights up from 300 feet. I can almost guarantee you he'll catch a bunch of fiesty rockfish if you schedule a trip and you can use bass tackle. The fall usual...

Re: Delta Smallies?
Rumor has it Chris Raza knows all of these smallies by name. He has caught all of them, named 'em, and let them go for another day. I think I saw him on the I-5 bridge last week throwing Purina Bass Chow to 'em.
Hey Raza...was that you or was I imagining things?

Re: Delta speed question
I think a 60+ mph bassboat wake may be smaller than a 35 mph wake. What I hate is when a boat slows down to supposedly create less wake but in actuality is leaving a huge following wake as they are pushing water. When this happens in narrow sloughs it really ticks me off. I'm sure a lot of folks don...

Re: Ultimate Match Fishing ( WOW) fair or unfair?
If memory serves me...this strategy was also used on the old version of the show. I actually don't see a problem with it. It's a part of the show to stick it to your partner. This included positioning the boat so that the guy in the back can not make the key casts. The guy in the back would then hav...
