I can't add anything to these comments on new 16-18 Dodges... But, I own a 2001 2500 Cummins 4x4 with 184k on it. I pull a 21ft 521VX no problem. Great gas mileage and tons of power. It's purely a tow rig for me so it should last another 300K easily. The gen1 Cummins are damn near bullet proof. Exce...

Basics lube and service I do myself. For repairs, Alan Tani in SF is the man! Very good service.

Great report. Love the custom Waver. Is that a shiner or babybass pattern you're going for?

Selling my used Fortrex US2 101 45". Runs smooth and quiet. May need slight steering adjustment, as the pedal seem slighty offset from the motor. But, motor aligns correctly when deployed and steers fine. Asking $450. Text for more pics. Located in Lodi. I might drive as far as Sac or Susuin fo...

We got into em pretty good last night. Launched at 330pm and fished the SJ side from BW all the way out to Antioch. We found fish at every stop. 20 fish to the boat, 20 more missed blowups, big fish went 8-12lbs. I had a shot at a legit 30lber, she missed the plug three times, then a smaller male st...

I'll be hosting another episode of Fisherman's Warehouse FB live stream "In the House" this Thursday evening. I'll be talking striper fishing, mainly focusing on top water for stripers. We'll also be talking about the spring striper run that is under way on the CA Delta. I'll have products...

Went out on Friday during the storms. It dumped rain off and on, but we stuck it out. Started off throwing the big glide baits for nada. Topwater...nada. Small swimbaits...nada. Finally took a look at the water temp and it was 49.5! Damn that's cold! Finally tied on a Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait in...

The 2017 fall striper run has been spotty at best. Waves of fresh fish move in every few weeks, we seem to locate them and get a few days of action, then they disappear. We continue to throw the big glide baits and magnum top water plugs in hopes of connecting with a trophy, usually we come up short...

SIMMS! ProDry is pricey, but super light and bone dry.

When buying any fishing gear, I go by the motto : "Buy it nice, or by it twice".

Don't skimp on equipment that will keep you dry and warm. Or, you may end up cold and wet and quitting early..

I had a couple 30 plus inch stripers follow up my D-bomb while pitching tulles on the Molekummne a mile north of Tower Park. Not sure if that's normal for them to be that far up this time of year...but I got a good look at them right next to the boat....and they were stripers. Those could be reside...

JC- Yeah they get marked up big time when they come over from Japan. You can usually get deals on Ebay, Japanese tackle shops and even used on fishing forums. I've never paid retail, usually I can find them for $80-$100. $100+ swimbaits aren't for evreyone. But, I always ask other anglers, how much ...

We've been struggling to put a consistent pattern together over the last few weeks, but every now and then we get the right kind of bite! On this day we saw the tide would be primo around sunrise, but launched extra early to be in position. It was pitch black and too dark to see my top water plug, s...

Any interest in trading the 250 for a 3:16 wake Jr? Only throw a few times, 0 fish on the bait.

We've been fishing both sides of the system. The SJ side from Franks out to Anitoch and the Sac side from Sherman up to Minor. Have to cover a ton of water to find a good school that will bite on top.

The 2017 fall striper run has kicked off with a bang! After chasing schoolies and dinks Labor day weekend, we made some adjustments and found the grade we were after. This last week the morning and evening topwater bite has been on fire! Multiple fish in the 10-20lb range and a few close calls on th...

Where the heck are you fishing? We checked the usual spots on the SJ river on Sat and didn't mark any fish at most of them. None.. We soaked live bait on a shoal that had a few marks on it , but no takers. The upper SJ from Pirates down to 3mile is pretty dirty and not much life. We were fishing so...

Another successful weekend of chasing the jailbirds! Our numbers have gone down slightly but the quality is getting better. I'm sure if we chose to downsize our lures to traditional offering like 5" swimbaits and rattle traps we pick up way more fish. But, the big glide baits have been addictin...

Been a busy couple weeks out on the Delta. We've made a quick transition from chasing down small pockets of fishable water, to now having a open playing field of hungry stripers. Our search started a few weeks ago and lead us to the back sloughs of the east delta. There we found a small stretch of 2...

Phenix X10 or X11 7' Phenix’s Composite X has a long history of being an industry leading crankbait rod. Our new Composite X features the traditional execution of S-Glass to insure the optimum presentation of the crankbait while delivering a solid feedback of a graphite backbone. One of my favorite ...

Thanks for the update! My boy is chomping at the bit to get after the stripers again. Where does the east delta start and where does the west delta start? Is Stockton considered south delta? I usually consider the Sac river and Sherman the West. And, the SJ river and anything east, East. Anything s...

1-4oz baits like small S-wavers and 6-8in Hudds I use a Phenix M1 MH SB 8' rod. Light weight and soft enough tip once it breaks in.

Larger baits in the 4-10oz size like Mags, Deps and mag topwater plugs I'll use a Phenix UMBX Classix SB H 8' rod or a M1 inshore 7'11" H.

Went on the hunt for some stripers in the East delta this weekend. We found some cleaner water with temps 55-57 degrees. Threw the big glides for a few followers and a few bumps. Finally gave in and downsized to a SP110 on the spinning rod. That was the ticket as we boated 8 fish Friday morning, 12 ...

I fished there Sunday 2/12 from my Kayak. We focused on the main lake around the causeway and adjacent points. Nothing on reaction baits. We finally found a school in the afternoon on a secondary point. They bit the dropshot and shakey head pretty good. Between two of us we caught 7-8 spots and a co...

I only use the Modified Albright. 8-12 turns up and down. I primarily chase stripers and run 40-65 braid to short 3ft 20-30lb flouro leaders. I've landed many 20-30lb class stripers and have yet to have a leader knot fail on me.

THE DR

Very nice! Were you fishing the west delta?

I ran into a few of the sloughs close to Wimpy's yesterday and didn't get touched. The water is nice and clean, about 47-48 degrees. But, no signs of life;(

Is it like a $400 mystery bag???

Pay $400 and get a brown paper bag of swimbaits, valued anywhere from $5-$500!!

I use braid to Flouro for all striper and big bait kits. 30-65lb J-Braid to 25-30 Floruo clear or Big game. Connected with 12-24 turn Albright knot.

New video put together by Tom Amberson. We got some good footage of some quality fish, but the giants have elluded us. Hopefully the second half of the run, the Big Girls will cooperate. Enjoy!!
