Just found out I'll be fishing FLW Clear Lake as a co-angler and Konocti Vista Resort/Hotel is all booked up. Can anyone recommend another motel close by for that Wednesday/Thursday night. Thanks in advance for your input.

I think in general most fish are resilient and recover from their handling and reproduce or replenish the slime coating. I have seen bass with predator marks and the skin tore open and their still swimming around out there. Fisherman all over the world are practicing catch & release in the ocean...

As fisherman we are exposed to the sun excessively which can lead to damage to our skin by sun burn, skin mallenoma and cancer. I know sun screen can help and I do use it, but I was wondering if anyone was uising the sun protective hoods and gloves. Looking for some imput here with your experiences ...

I know this question has been asked and answered probably a couple hundred times on this forum, but I'm unable to find it, so here we go again. What do youi guys do to reduce or eliminate line twist on your drop shot rig? If you use a small swivel, how long of a leader do you use? Is there one of th...

I received this email from FLW that their extending entry deadline from 12/19/12 to 1/4/13 which is 2 weeks prior to their first tourny at Orville. Sounds like they need support also. Info only for those thinking about it. Orville, Roosevelt, Delta and Clear Lake. Dear Angler, FLW wants to let you k...

There will come a time that all two stroke motors, regardless of star rating, will be prohibited on our waters out here in the west. So start saving your pennies for that four stroke motor if you want to fish. It's just a matter of time. I just don't know how they do it back east where competitive b...

8:45 am Wednesday-I just talked to tourny director Ron and they are short 7 AAA's for the back deck. If you can make it call him direct at 270-703-2957 or FLW at 270-252-1000. I have a broken right hand but I volunteered as an observer if needed.

jimmyG

Thanks for your responses. Is there anything closer to Redbud park on the south end of the lake where we'll be launching from? Thanks again

Ford started making their own diesel motor and tranny in 2011. Any body have any experience with it yet? Any website where one might go to for consumer reports? In the market for one but I may have to go to Dodge cummings if Ford is not up to par. Any reccomendations for dealers for either Ford or D...

Over the years of monitoring of NCBF and Westernbass, I've seen about every question on fishing asked and answered on the forum. With more new questions being asked daily. So my question, is there a history search or search engine that can be used to research past topics? I know you can go back prev...

Need some help in preparation and practice for skip casting under docks...as in Clear Lake and Delta. So here are my questions, thank you for any assistance.. What type of spinning pole, length, and action? Is mono better than fluro in this application? Do some type of baits skip better than others(...

Does anyone know of a dealer/retailer that does over the counter exchange for G Loomis warranty? I am in the Sacramento area. One retailer(no name) doesn't do it anymore, they advised to mail the rod to Loomis. An expedite warranty return(1 week) would cost $100. Normal warranty is still $15 but cou...

As I watch on the news all the rain and flooding going on in Southern Calif., I wonder why there is no flood control reservoirs and impoundments to retain that water for future annual use? Has real estate become so expensive that the politicians can't dam up canyons to make these reservoirs? Wouldn'...

+1 I agree with Ron, Ken was very helpful and informative, but I'm still overwhelmed at the many options and configurations that Lowrance offers..

Is Lowrance coming ouy with totally new units in 2011? Rumor has it they are. Should I wait to buy until next yaer? Thxs Ken, see you Thursday

I know this question gets asked alot on the forum but I'm talking now with all the Black Friday sales, holiday promos and year end clearance. I need a back and front unit for the old Ranger. Prefer a Lowrance but will consider Hummingbird, so who has the best prices on these units? Could by this wee...

I don't eat bass, "let em go, let em grow." When I accidentally do kill one, I give it to the meat fishermen in the little aluminum boats.

Would this be allowed in a tournament?

jimmyG

WOW! Didn't know about the rebate. Looking to buy Lowrance system. Is the rebate applicable at time of purchase or mail in after purchase?

Anyone know who has the best price for Lowrance at this time? Want to buy the HDS 5 and 10 also with the LSS.

Let's go guys, get involved. There is an old saying, "Put your heart in to it, or get your a$$ out of it." Remember when they were discussing putting gates up on certain locations in the Delta. The Delta is going down the drain, literally, and here we sit on our hands and wallet letting so...

No that's 52 non-native species. If the corporate ag people have their way, they would kill them all so they could get their water. It's about greed and money, it's not about sharing a glass of drinking water with southern Calif. What happens when Northern Calif. is high and dry like the politicians...

jimmyG

Some other way of financial support for the project and not one person to be burdend with it, is to have are advertisers donate or contribute funds. They then can put their logos on the boat. The USS Hook, Line and Sinker (Hey Gene) or Berkely or Shimano or Trokar or Yamamoto (Hey Gary) or Your name.

jimmyG

Oops, that's talk it up. Everybody makes mistakes.

Heck we might be able to find a good used one.

Orgs. could even rent it for $50 bucks or so.

jimmyG

The Delta is one of those body waters where there is at least one, two or three tournies a weekend. I would guess-timate 75% of those going out of Russo's. So why don't we see if Chuck will keep a release boat there at Russo's that can also service B&W and Brannan. We then hold a couple fund rai...

Thanks Brett for a quick posting.

There is strength in numbers and a louder voice to be heard. We may have to form alliances with other organizations so we can be heard in our fight to save our sport. And just maybe, politicians will hear us. Remeber two things: 1. Our lands, our water. Use without abuse. 2. PETA-People Eating Taste...

If this bill pases, most assuredly the black bass will be next to be erradicated since it is a non-native spieces.

I was in BPS in Manteca, they had the HDS 5, 8 and 10's in stock. The HDS 10 was $2549 with mapping, the 5 and 8 were less of course. Add on another $600 for LSS to any of the units.

Now if you sign up for the BPS visa card at the store, take 10% off your first purchase.

jimmyG

Time to upgrade the old alarm system Alan and get more and better motion detectors. With the governor releasing 6500 more inmates from prison, I'm sure crime will go up. Bad guys probably checked you out at the ISE show and saw that you were giving things away and wanted more.
