Yes, the crappie!! Top picture, third one down left row. Caught many bass on that one until the bill broke. I had two of them. Still have the crawdad rolling around somewhere in a box. Did not catch much on that. But the Crappie killed!

Both of mine are the molded lips versions and I think they are at least 35 years old . See ya , Rob...

Not sure what the problem is with the Trojans. I have run these for a while (5 years and replaced my first set after 3 years) and they have been awesome batteries. They are made to charge and discharge and are not comparable to a house battery that starts the motor and is not drained out like trolli...

Amber has been with the state for almost 10 years or better. Her fishing career has pretty much come to an end since she got married and has children. She is a sweet heart. By the way where they spray and what they use is public record. The chemicals have changed completely in the past 5 years. Gen...

YES open. Not sure if it is Buckley or Ladds but at the end of March lane it is open for launching. $12.50 on a weekday, not sure about weekends. No debris in the water.

I just made the run to Liberty from Discovery park in Vince's FPT tournament last year. It took 55 minutes and that was at a speed of about 60 MPH. I have made the run from Russo's to the same place at Liberty and that was about 25 Minutes at around 65 mph with the 5 at Brannon Island in 3 mile. No ...

It is probably going to be at least an hour and and fifteen to get to Franks. The biggest problem is going to be that this is some of the lowest water we have seen in years. Speaking with a couple of striper and shad guides that fish the river every day and they say discovery park is a mud hole and ...

You probably can hire a diver for less than $3500. Just a thought.

Awesome job guys. Glad Team Frenzy won! I have to wonder after watching the video if Wilson and Juarez who said they anchored on their spot on day two and let the fish rest after catching a 32# bag if they should have just kept catching fish or tried another spot? Losing by a pound or so? I have not...

I have been in a few boats and own a 2000 Ranger 520DVX. All of the boats are pretty good these days but each has its advantages and disadvantages. Most of the boats I know about have been Rangers although I have ridden in Triton, bass cat, and spent a few days in a Skeeter boats as well. The Skeete...

Does it come with the universal Sonar?

What is the standard shaft length for a 520 Ranger?

Fish Trap

There is no problem. Reverse order is reverse order for a reason. Just cause a guy gets first blast off on day 1, got the spot, whacked em, now he thinks it his spot and the proper thing to do is to let him have it. What kind of etiquette is that? What a joke. How do you know the 50th blast off guy ...

One circuit where participation is up The FPT. Vince is having a large turnout. Fairly local, with close lakes, not large entry fees (considering) and a TOC that does not allow everyone in. You have to "qualify" to make it. Meaning even if you fish all events you are not guaranteed a spot....

From those pictures, it looks like Lake of the Pines! Can't believe someone has stooped so low as to try and guide on that lake. It's bad enough that there's folks killing fish there. What's next, tournaments?????? :shock: :shock: :shock: If it is I doubt the HOA will let that continue. I listed a ...

Say what you want the numbers don't lie. Go fish anglers choice 18 boats entry 295 I was one of them. Three spots paid. Like it or not Vince has the best thing going. And he gives a hella of lot more then some old worms. Most circuits give nothing at the end. I might not agree with everything the g...

Two weekends ago I had a chance to take a Demo ride and fish out of one of Corey's Skeeters up at Clear lake. It was a very solid boat with lots of nice features. That boat flat out hauled a**. It rode well in Clear Lake's rough water on Friday when the North wind blew about 20 and stayed pretty dry...

A couple of bags over 34#. Took over 26.5# to be in top 10. Big bags caught on Swimbaits, A Rigs, and one bag over 32# all on Jigs. It was a great event. Vince drew over 120 Plus boats. Lots of Giant fish with big fish close to 10#. Lots of 6, 7, and 8#. That place is going off right now!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Just got off the phone with Shane. Sounds like a great deal. 100% payback. He has some help with local vendors and volunteers to help with the costs, weigh in, permits, etc so it will be 100% payback. With low enough entry fees to allow all to fish and not complain about the entry. As Shane said &qu...

What seems to have worked well for me is Braid. I use 10lb braid, 4lb diameter power pro. Then it is either 5# maxima or 6# flouro leader. No swivels, no fancy stuff just a regular drop shot weight. I don't know why people make it so hard but it is really simple. Use the uni knot to make the connect...

Went out to the lake tonight. Saw at least 5 bass boats cruising around 30. I guess that is 5mph for a bass boat LOL. Anyway glad Mike is traveling at 5 MPH, he is to good a fisherman to run all over the place and catch em all. Nice day on the water with my 9 year old daughter who boated a few on he...

What is the best size bobber stopper for 65# braid? Mine tends to slip even when I double them up. A little trick a guy taught me. Take some 15# mono and tie it above your bobber stops. Double the 15# with two strands, tie a unit - knot around the braid. Pull it tight, cut the tag ends and slide do...

Awesome fish. Love to see those whoppers. Any hints on the bait? 8) 4.5 robo worm, 6# test flouro leader, to 10# braid, Dobbins 701 spinning rod. Took about 10 minutes to land and jumped all the way out of the water after the hook set. The tag end and weight was gone from the drop shot, luckily the...

Fish Trap

I have noticed when punching that the bobber stops will slide up the line. When this happens the weight will twist on the line, wrapping the braid over itself between the nose of the weight and the eye of the hook, and I am guessing, cutting the line. I use at least three bobber stops to keep my wei...

That would be hard to let go and not put on the wall in the living room. Hope you let it go to catch another day but if you did it had to be a hard choice. It was an easy choice to let it go as shown in the last pic. It was recorded by picture although I had to drive around a bit to find someone to...

Sweet, I fished out of that boat. Killed em at Rancho Murieta in it. Looks like you added a few upgrades since that time.

Fish Trap

Check the hooks to make sure they are sharp

Test the knot

Check your drag

Look behind you

Wait a few minutes for the area to settle down

Think about your first cast and where you want it to go

Cast to the outskirts to not hook one on the first cast

After all this I may never make my first cast.

Thanks, I emailed Ranger the pictures. They only warranty for 3 years but depending on the pics they said they may be able to help me out (boat is 11 years old and I am third owner) Sounded like they were going to work with me. For the time being I had some fiberglass repair and tried to fix it or s...

Great Job guys.

25# +/-won it, with 6 places over 20# for top 6 and about 14# plus to get a check.

I have a couple of compartment lids that are cracked and about ready for someone to fall through on my 2000 520 Ranger. What is the best way to get these fixed, replaced, repaired, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Last week I had an experience that made me wonder how prepared I was in case something bad happened. Well, I was on Berryessa having a great day of fishing when my boat completely died. It was a long way back on the trolling motor but I possibly could have made it half way? Luckily I had a friend in...

For Dual axel trailers only: Take a scrap 6 x 8 and cut a 55 degree angle on each side. Place in front of the good tire and drive up on it. The other tire comes off the ground and you can change it. Drive off when done. The only thing is you will have a piece of wood in the back of the truck but it ...

I had an x27 that went bad. Lowrance had it for three months. Finally after running around in the fog in delta with an old x-16 and a hand held gps i called and complained. They sent me a new HDS7, no charge.
