Has anyone used the micro power pole? I have a 17ft tracker. I was wanting to get power poles installed but I wasn’t sure if they were to much for an aluminum boat. Will the micro hold my tracker in place

nate50

I’m interested. I’ve never fished that circuit, how does it work? Is it a random draw for each event or is it a team style event?

nate50

Has anyone used the Tokyo rig in delta? I was just cruising tackle sites and saw it. I got excited thinking of the possibilities of flipping the grass edges with braid and a heavy weight on it. Any one have success doing that?

nate50

Does anyone know if Camanche is open? I was going to chase some spots tomorrow and didn’t want to drive out there if it’s close due to government shutdown.

nate50

I have question about drop shot weights. Which style weight (tear drop, cylinder, etc.) do you use for the different bottoms (rock, sand/mud, grass). Thanks for the help

nate50

I fish camanche pretty often and do well with light trout color in the 168 size

nate50

Unfortunately, it happens fairly often on the delta. It’s happened to me a handful of times, the same kind of deal, I don’t think I was the target but I could here the bullets and see the impact on the water/bank. It’s a scary feeling to not be able to protect yourself if needed. I didn’t know the l...

What’s the difference between glass and graphite? Besides the obvious lol

nate50

I have the same unit and had a similar problem. My depth reading was all messed up then would correct it self then wouldn’t read any bottom/depth. I just restored the factory settings and I haven’t had the problem again. I think when I was adjusting the settings I messed it up. Once the factory sett...

Does anyone know when they start the sign ups to be a marshal and what the process is? I’ve fished the delta my whole life and would love a front row seat to see the best go at it.

nate50

I remember the thread, the rod you went with was a med/heavy that I would use for a light jig/Texas rig rod. I would get a spinning rod to throw drop shot/light Shakey Heads. The last rod I would get is a crankbait rod med/med heavy for crankbaits and treble hook top waters.

nate50

I think you will get a million different responses with everyone’s brand prefences. I would look at Shimano Zodias line of rods they are very versatile. They come in at about 199 bucks. I would recommend Lews reels. They make a ton of models at all different price points. I’ve used the cheaper ones ...

nate50

I went through my credit union where I bank at. I think the challenge you will have is they look at the boats value to loan ratio, because they will have the title till it’s paid just like an auto loan. If there’s no boat to run the numbers on then they don’t know if approved. When I did my loan I g...

Great video!! I was out the Saturday of memorial weekend. I launched out of ladds, I tried to get a punch bite going but It never happened. I did have success with a Senko on the grass edges but punching the grass. Have you found a good punch bite? If you never need a fishing partner for the Wednesd...

nate50

Nice fish!! Camanche can be hard to find good quality of fish at times but when you do they grow’em Big lol how did you catch them?

nate50

Is the reel right of left handed

nate50

I launch at b&w a lot, this totally sucks!!! Is it possible to position a camera to see license plates as they are backing in? Maybe attached to the backside of the docks or attached to the trees in front some how. Anything that would make these scumbags think twice I’m all for.

nate50

Does anyone frog with the Zodias line? I was thinking about 7’2 heavy.

nate50

Which model Powell rods?

nate50

Thanks for the offers guys, I’m not to familiar with Powell rods, all I’ve ever heard was they don’t have a good back bone to them.

nate50

What are some good frog rod options out there? I’m normally a Shimano rod guy, I’ve been using an older model clarius jig rod. It’s well past it’s “prime”

Thanks
Nate

Hey everyone,

Does anyone need a partner for the tourney on Saturday? I’d like to jump on with someone and split all cost. Nate 916 547 6367

Thanks

Hey everyone

Is anyone fishing the berry tournament for new Jen this Saturday? I’m trying to find out where they are launching from. I’m planning on fun fishing out there Saturday and don’t want to be in the way while they are trying to launch

Hey everyone,

Is anyone looking for a backseat for the bbt delta tourney on 4/21? I can help pay for gas/entree fee.

Nate

nate50

I agree, get a couple S wavers 168’s. Lite trout and party crashes are my favorite colors. Glide baits can get very expensive, S wavers are on the cheaper side of the category and are great baits!

nate50

I also fish both lakes and delta throughout the year. I agree with the comments braid main line and change leader line size and length. My spinning reels have 15lb braid then I choose the leader line size depending in conditions/location. My casting reels have 30lb braid for my crankin/spinnerbait r...

Nice fish! That was a tougher tourney for a lot of us. You guys put together a great bag

nate50

Kyle give us a follow up on Berryessa. I was out there this week and grinding all day for 3 fish. I’m hoping the lake turns on soon it’s my favorite fishing hole

nate50

I was out fishing berry Saturday 2/17, what tourney was goin* out of capell cove? Are there any results posted anywhere? It was a tough bite for me so I was wondering how they did

nate50

I’m trying to figure out my fishing weekend, I know the tournament season is getting going. Is there a tourney at Berryessa this weekend? I don’t to get in there way

nate50

Hey everyone I fished both Berryessa (twice) and Camanche over the past 3 days and to say I struggled would be an understatement 4 fish total lol. I was on good fish before it got warm over the past week or so, but since then I’ve lost the fish. I feel that I have fished the shallow and medium depth...

nate50

It does happen time to time when I first put the trolling motor in the water

nate50

Just randomly, I will be fishing reading the bottom then i lose the bottom then it comes back. I assumed maybe it was just a soft bottom so it couldn’t read it

nate50

I wish I had a pic to post. It’s weird it will be reading good then all of a sudden it like it’s not reading anything the bottom doesn’t even register the depth will say the depth but it’s like the sonar is blank... The transducer is the one that came with it when I brought it di 200/455 Clear mode ...

nate50

I’m running a hummingbird 859 di on the trolling motor. I think I have it set up wrong cause at times I lose the pic it shows just like “stadic” for lack of a better description. Is there a guide anywhere to know how to set it? Any help would be awesome

I recently bought a Curado Crankbait rod for deep crankin. I noticed the eyes on the top section of the rod are very small. I’m normally fish braid to a leader, I’m concerned with the small eyes that the connection knot is going to get hung up. Any one use these rods is that an issues? Thanks for th...

nate50

Will they net work together?

nate50

I’m gonna start by saying I’m far from an expert. I have found that they tend to pull out to the next cut of structure or grass lines. Remember “deep” water is all relative. 10-12ft might be considered deep

nate50

I’ve heard of one on thanksgiving on a lake in the town of Folsom lol

nate50

I’m looking to upgrade my Shimano crucial rods, I was looking at the new Zodias line. I read some reviews that mention the handles are to short specially for big hands. Can anyone confirm that? I’m thinking for a flipping rod, jig rod, crank bait rod and spinnrtbait/Chatterbait. Anyone has model rec...

nate50

The kid might be onto something here lol the "double" reminds me of using those front runners on a walking bait.

nate50

I have a lews casting reel that the line guide gets stuck on the left side. I've tried to clean and lube the reel but still having trouble with it. Any one have any fixes or if anyone fixes reels let me know please and thank you.
