Hey Richard. I have one of the Berkley ones that fell apart. You can have it for free! Seriously get a better one, they're garbage. I'm just going to use my boga for now on. Indestructable. Let's fish sometime soon. Mike

MT

Thanks for your help Robert.

MT

Just the noise the switch itself normally makes

MT

No, nothing on any of the switch positions.

Out today prefishing for HBC and at the fourth spot I drop the motor in and nothing. Switched the on/off button on the water, not it so took it home (after calling to bow out of the HBC). Put the voltmeter and it showed that power was getting to the unit so it's not a circuit breaker and batteries a...

MT

Thanks!

MT

Is launching an issue here at the current water level? If not when does it become a problem? Thanks, Mike

MT

2500's seem to balance better with most bass tackle.

MT

Lugnut, the bad things about the metal prop is that when it you buzz the rocks with it it doesn't give and could bend the armature shaft which will most likely compromise the seal when it turns letting water into the lower unit. It's all bad from there obviously. I found this out the hard way.

MT

Ditto on Lyle but I heard he moved to Woodland? Can anyone confirm?

MT

OK, I'm in as a VTO but I don't remember signing up. Got an email confirmation but I'm waiting to look at the list to see if it was a mistake or not. I'm in if I'm really in I guess.

MT

Thanks, both of you. I think I can figure it out now. MT

MT

I have some suspicions about one of the banks on my 3 bank charger. Is there a simple way I can test whether or not it is working properly? When I put a separate charger on this battery it only shows 10% in the testing mode even after a long 2amp charge. It's a 36 volt system. Mike

MT

He's on vacation bruizer but thanks anyway. Taking it to Jay Liu on Friday. Thanks to all for the response. MT

MT

Yep, you're the second person who has said that. 5yr old unit however, looks like it's time for a new one. Thanks for responding. Mike

MT

Batteries are fine

Today on Clearlake, my MG 109 went nuts. Basically while in momentary on it would begin running on its own and wide open even though the dial was set at low. The only way I could run it was to leave it in the constant on position and adjust the speed but still at times it would take on a mind of it'...

MT

Don't launch at Redbud. That entire arm is covered with algae. Rattlesnake arm is turning green also but ok to launch. Go to limit out and launch at Clearlake Oaks or Lucerne if the wind is up.

MT

As long as the wind stays down you should be able to fish just about anywhere a big boat would especially if you stayed around marinas and withing 5mph zones. If you want to try the Delta, the sloughs on 8 Mile Rd would be an option namely Bishop Cut/Disappointment around Paradise Pt. Marina and Hon...

MT

Are we speaking in codes on this board now? What is .92?

MT

First, call the Summit Ranger Station and make sure the trails you plan to use are passible. May still be covered with snow in a couple of weeks. As far as what works on ultra light gear, small spinners and spoons to start with but I always strongly suggest flies. Dragging small woolybuggers behind ...

Tons of little fish for me on Saturday with a few keepers here and there. Would be fun for kids and I'm sure it will pick up as the full moon wanes. There was a tournament out there Saturday and other than the top three teams, it appeared that everyone struggled for good fish.

MT

MT

Somedays the fish just don't commit to that bait. They bump it, slap it, tail grab it, just don't EAT IT. Catch them in the right mood and they inhale it everytime, so it's not necessarily something you're doing or not doing. Great bait this time of year so keep throwing it.

MT

If you're talking about the one near the boundary of Yosemite NP it's a trout lake and one that I used to flyfish with alot of success both from a float tube and from the shore. This time of year there will be fish stacked up where snow melt is running in and there are two feeder creeks on the acces...

MT

I was given half a bottle of Lucas Slick Mist and I really liked it. I've been trying to find some more. Does anyone know where I can buy this stuff around Stockton? Before that I used good ole lemon Pledge.

MT

You'll also need to be insured or bonded and if you plan on guiding in the Delta you'll need a license from the Coast Guard commonly referred to as a 6 pack or OUPV. It's a tough test requiring a 90% score to pass and alot of studying. There are schools that offer weeklong courses and guarantee you'...

MT

If the guy in the back gets the hot hand and theres something at stake, get out of the way and give him the front. I have no problem doing this.

MT

Call Lyle Gossett @ (209) 570-6634. He is in Galt and will treat you right. MT

MT

The river below Kestwick is the Lower Sac and has some steelies in it. Above the lake is Upper Sac and under general trout season rules. Call The Flyshop in Redding and they can help you. MT

MT

Awsome split shot lake. It's not always the most visually appealling banks here that fish well. They'll be up on some flat ugly stuff at times so drag on. MT

MT

Lizard

MT

I'd have to say Melones but I've never fished for em, just caught some accidentally. Call up at Glory Hole Sports and see if they can help you out. Good Luck

MT

Pretty slick. Have you tried it with the hook coming out the top?

I stayed there two summers ago with my wife and kids. Very clean and nice resort. The slips for the boat were also nice. I remember being very worried though as we were driving through the town of Clearlake to the resort thinking if the place looks like the rest of the area then I'm in trouble. We w...

MT

Not too much as of last week but you still have to watch out. There is floating wood in all of the lakes and it will most likely increase.

MT

There's alot of sources. Wheel weights from tire shops work but they're dirty and not pure lead and a little hard. Old sinkers especially big ones are good. I was given some kind of flashing that is used in concrete forms(i think) that has worked really nicely. Just start asking around and you'll en...

MT

I use a 7'2" Medium Crucial dropshot rod. I like the extra length because I can cast the rig a long ways which helps keep me off of the bank and the fish I am casting to. I think the length helps with hookups when they eat it a good distance from the boat.

MT

Was up there today. The single dock is in the water. Should be fine.

For a 90' hook they have a Gamakatsu 2894 that has a wide gap. Nice looking hook.

MT

If you have the mold that accepts a 60 degree hook the Gamakatsu EWG 2014 is probably what you are looking for. If your mold only accepts 90' hooks you might be limited although going up a size or two will give you a bigger gap.

MT

Which mold do you have? Barlow's Tackle has hook recommendations for all of the Do-it molds as well as pictures of the hooks themselves.

MT

Today is Valentines Day???!!!

MT

Tulloch is basically filled by releases from New Melones and New Melones still rose in spite of what went into Tulloch so that is a good sign.

MT

When is the next episode of Pure Bass going to be on? Really enjoyed the first one.

MT

Rob, I sent you an email.

MT

Is a Powell 735 stout enough to handle a Shellcracker specifically on the Delta firing the bait into tight pockets and cover as opposed to just lobbing it out into open water? I used a flipping stick for this last year and would rather have something a little shorter for accuracy. Thanks, Mike

MT

Berzerkly is great if you want to sit in a classroom with 500 other students and never speak to your professor or meet him for that matter. And then there's the all the HIPPIES AND COMMIES!!
