Well with all thats being said, I too believe in having those good folks out on the water to enforce the safety and rules of the water. God knows that without rules this would be terrible place to live. For me I know I will definitley pay more attention and be sure not to run any docks with boats on...

Sorry to hear that Marty, I was the boat making the right around the corner. I saw the sheriffs boat with the sirens lit up and got off plane. Couldn't figure why they were pulling you over. I got back on plane and ran right by that dock just as I have a million times. Sounds like they had nothing b...

Mine on my truck L82 H20, which is what I always am, late to water. can't get there enough.

fishercurtis

I am needing to buy a new trolling motor for my 20' skeeter. I'm definitley going 101 minnkota but what shaft length should I get. 42" or 52". I primarily fish delta and clearlake.
Thanks

Maui Jims, definitley

this women had a vibrator and a banana, the banana looks over at the vibrator and said I don't know why your shakin she's gonna eat me!!!

fishercurtis

I am not usually a supersticious kinda person but...., I took a friend out Sunday for his first trip ever fishing on the delta. We went for stripers and were having a pretty slow day. Out of the blue I happen to ask the guy jokingly if he had brought bananas or something. He says yeah, want one :sho...

fishercurtis

Going out of orwood tommorow(sunday) and wondered if the tulie fog has let up in the morning or if it is still pretty thick out there. Might decide to launch at russos instead.
Thanks

Price wise I paid $190 including tax. All 3 blades were chewed up from hitting a submerged rock. The prop was polished and shipped back to me in a week. Last year I bent 1 blade slightly and sent it somewhere else.(no longer in business, Skeeter dealer) and paid $320 and the prop came back 4 mph slo...

fishercurtis

Just wanted to put in a good word for phils props. Sent out my yamaha stainless prop and got it back in less than a week. Looks like new. Put in on a test run Monday and didn't loose any speed either. Prices aren't bad either. Support those board sponsors.

Thanks
Curtis

fishercurtis

Once again the delta has wrecked my prop. I am looking for repairs to a stainless prop, someplace local to contra costa county. or a place i can ship it that does good repairs. Thanks in advance. Man we been seeing some low tides lately.

Sorry to here your luck today. Next time out maybe you'll nail a personal best. Hang in there, we all get those days.

I did the 510c because it was less money, didn't know the 520c without gps could network with another gps. With that said be carefull about trying to network as the cable do cost some dough. My boat didn't have the network and I know Ive spent $200+ with cables, t's, extentsions, and blue to red cab...

Just had to say, Mark came in my restaurant last week and looked great. 3 weeks after surgery and he was his old self. Mark is a pretty amazing guy. To go through what he has and you would never know. He came in with a real cutie 2. Mark's already been out there fishing and doing his old thing. :sho...

fishercurtis

Okay then. Since I have to buy another one I might as well get the newest, latest, and best chip. So what then is the best navionics chip for a lcx27c on the delta, clearlake, berryessa.. I know this has been discussed before if someone would like to point out the thread also.
Thanks
Curtis

fishercurtis

can you copy a navionics chip to use on your bow mount gps. I have the origonal I use in the console but want to use it on the bow at the same time. I run lowrance 27c and 520c networked. Thanks
Curtis

fishercurtis

Hard decision, hopefully no one. Self defense is all I'm concerned with. Hate to say it but if someone decides to board my boat with an oar in hand it might be the last thing they do.

fishercurtis

Its amazing what is happening everywhere in society. On the water we just get a close up taste of it between the wakeboarders, seadoos and not fisherman. Guess thats why i now carry a 357 mag on board along with my other gear. Never know when you might need it.

fishercurtis

I have the 520 and the 27c both just installed. Go with the 27c, bigger screen and better definitly when viewing split screen for waypoints on the gps. By the way should only be about a $300 difference between the 520 and the 27c. Thats what it was for me.
Just my .02

One recommendation. Don't Bring The Wife. A camping/fishing trip almost ended in divorce for me. Did that a couple years ago and apparently there are duties when campings, organization, planning the day and other BS. Guys do this with your buddies only. Nobody cares if the tent is organized and all ...

fishercurtis

I was out today and was fishing docks on the delta with 10" power worms on a t-rig. On several occasions I was getting bit, would set the hook and miss the fish. I changed hooks to be certain it was sharp 3/0 gammis ewg. I usually don't miss fish on plastics. I down sized to a 7inch and didn't ...

fishercurtis

I bought that del sol first and you are right, I can't tell the difference except the $95 bucks missing from my wallet!

fishercurtis

Gotta agree when the conditions look right throw a frog. Today I was out throwing it here and there and caught6 fish over3#'s just remember if you miss the hook up fire out a senko. Musta got another7 that way today. Good luck

fishercurtis

I've caught so many fish on that punker that the feathers on the rear hook are gone. Anyone have suggestions of a feathered hook and size to use. I know what was on there was hand tied.
I never new that those 8inch bass would try and eat something as big as them

Curtis

fishercurtis

I would go with the Diawa Tierra, its about $115 bucks and has a great drag, smooth cast, and really helps on line twist. I like it as much as my Diawa Del sol spinning reels that cost $200.
Curtis

yamamoto makes a 1oz and you can get them on their website www.baits.com

Just thought I would throw this out there. Not Fishing Related, well kind of to me it is being that I don't want to have to sell my boat for this. Any how I just got hit with a $56K dollar permit fee from the CC sanitary district for a new restaurant I am opening. Anyone here work there and know if ...

fishercurtis

I have both of my boys using Hank Parker Lightning rods 6' medium and 5'6" pistol grip, about $35 on sale, good price and good sensitivity for the young ones, also they both fight over the rhino spincast for $25 at wally world more than the zebco. 10# pline and a wacky rigged senko or white bla...

fishercurtis

Hey Mark,
I am glad to here you are alright. Keep fishing those tournaments bud.

You know I have bottom line(crappy) electronics and changing to lowrance 27 gps combo. I already put a 510 color on the bow. So the connections and transducer are not lowrance so I have to put that in.
Curtis

fishercurtis

Went fishing with Mike Oshea the other day and he had the latest large screen color lowrance sonar/gps combo on bow and helm. Awesome equiptment. By the way Mike can catch some fish. and SO now I got to replace my old black &greys. Is this something a somewhat handy person can do. I managed to i...

fishercurtis

I put a comfort troll in my '05 skeeter zx225. Best thing I've done. Makes a world of difference and gives you more stabiltiy on your feet. Great product and easy to install. Jig saw, several good blades just in case and measure, measure, measure, then cut.

fishercurtis

Thanks, got them all programmed.
Curtis

fishercurtis

The boat accident got me thinking about what would I do If I saw the accident. I realized I don't have any numbers to call on my cell besides 911. What other numbers might be wise to have. Or channels on a hand held shortwave. Never know these days what you might need out there on the Delta for my s...

fishercurtis

Thanks for the kind words. Just don't let my wife know how much of a sponsor she really is

Like you said it is a better addiction than other things. Now if I could only fish as well as I cook you guys would be in trouble.
Curtis

fishercurtis

I just ordered mine. I ran in to Cooch on Monday and what do you think he was throwing and it wasn't a wadda jig.

Curtis

fishercurtis

Heading into the current if you lower the speed you set the trolling motor on and stay on the pedal all the time you are less likley to drift out either direction. Also I have found that in my lower unit on the big motor is pointed toward the direction I am fishing, ie. fishing the left side, face t...

Take the extra drive and go to Russo's, great access to Franks and other good fishing spots. They also have a Hook,Line and Sinker where you can pick up some great advice and local baits that are working right now. Even if Franks is windy you fish in and around sandmound, piper, and taylor sloughs a...

Pro Fiberglass is excellent. Great work, good people, and things done when they promise. If only everyone was like this.

I don't know about brannon but they do at Orwood, and waiting in line ain't so bad when your being entertained by the bikinis in the boats in line. :shock: :shock: Waitin used to bother me but now I just sit back, turn up the Country music and watch the fun.

I launch at orwood resort mostly and would recommend the ramps there. It is close to disco and the 5 mile an hour zones would keep ya from getting swamped. My two boys (7 & 10) love it in the summer not so much for the fishn as much for the bikinis and site seeing. :shock: But disco is a great p...

I was one of the 6 boats in their yesterday. I fish there quite often and like I had said that I didn't really every think about whether or not they should or should not restrict that area. Memorial Day blew me away with peoples ignorance. Maybe they could just ban it on Holiday weekends :D Excludin...

fishercurtis

Yeah kinda back to what I asked. i am seriously considering the DX 705C and really want to know for pitching frogs or a super spook if this would be a good choice. I would be using it to pitch jigs and t rigs as well. BTW I don't really care where it is made, that fact is it is supporting a local bu...

fishercurtis

I had heard about this and not thought much about it. I was on the water Monday and unwisley chose to go that way back to orwood via indian slough. HOLLY S***. I am from Miami and spent alot of time in Biscane Bay which I thought was busy. I have never seen anything like it. It was one of the most c...

fishercurtis

Another ?, I saw the DX 705C at the Hook in Oakley and it looks like it would do everything I want. I pitch more often than I flip, I primarily fish the delta, through alot of jigs and t rigs with heavier weights(1/2 oz. and up.). Would this also do for pitching frogs or maybe throwing a big topwate...

fishercurtis

Well I have to say, these guys that fish the delta on a regular basis and produce are incredible. Barrack is amazing and the most agressive fisherman I have fished with, that man will fish until your arms are ready to fall off. Cooch's knowledge of what these delta bass are doing on a day to day bas...

fishercurtis

I have bought way too much stuff from these guys. I get caught in that $50 free shipping and the daily specials. Evil people having such good service. They got tracking too. So I can get home and hide the goodies before the wife gets there. OOhhhh what to get next.......

Back to the thread. I know that I should wear a life jacket. Its like the whole helmet law on motorcycles. I didn't wear one until the law was passed. BUT I will say, in January of this year I had my boys out on the boat,(they hate to wear the life jackets but I insist or we don't go), water temp wa...
