In the fall, weather patterns will not have much affect on the bite. Wind and or low lite will help with turning on a reaction bite due to water stir up, sound, water clarity, and lite. Bass are affected by three coinciding factors in the fall. The first is water temp. The water temps are starting t...

What lake? I’m confused over the purpose of this post, is this post trying to promote Lowrance?

The Fury’s can be a bit too heavy, by weight of the rod, in the punch or swim bait rods. I would go with the Champion.

JoeLanghans

Perfect for wakeboarding... no wind, bright sun, cooling water temps in the fall... bust out your drop shot!

I agree with the gas tax, California roads are the worst in the country. This is a fishing forum, please don’t post anything political.

So ..... how was the wind today ? Depending upon your definition .... I would disagree it is "always fishable" when blowing 25+ It is always fishable. Marinas, sloughs, rip rap wall lines, cuts, etc. All of those will shield you from the wind or weather you can’t handle. Wind, rain, and o...

There’s always places to escape the wind on Delta. Wind should never never be a question for fishing the Delta.

I launched out of Tracy Oasis for the first time a couple of weeks ago on Sept 22. Major convenience for me living in Modesto and not having to head to Russos or Orwood ..... knocked 30 mins easy off of each leg. Just curious ..... there was a significant sand bar about 40 ft in front of the ramp I...

I may have knowledge in this area from my automotive background. First question, is the trailer the original trailer when new? If not, boat could be stolen cause anyone can go buy a trailer and have the pink slip to it then steal someone’s boat and load it up on the trailer, sell the combo. Second q...

I am charged 15 as well. Single axle Ranger too. I think when towing they charge 5 per axle, includes tow rigs axles... 15 bucks. Even cash they charge 15

I saw a video of the wednesday night tournaments out of ladds at their TOC last week and that Angelo won that tournament. Isn't that the same guy who refused to take two lie detector test's that tournament directors asked him to take and has been banned from almost every circuit? If it is him, how ...

What about the dodge eco diesel ? Anybody ? I dunno if they have been ironed out but they had a lot of issues. Lots of feedback on google and youtube. Good, reliable diesel with plenty of power. Been out for a long time. The Hemi is a loud, loose engine that is cheaply made, just a noisy, rattley e...

I couldn’t find any detailed info about the Bassfest on here or the BBT website. Can’t find any marketing on it. Is it a one day tournament on Sunday the 9th or two days spanning the weekend? How much is the entry and big fish, etc? Russos? Off limits? Any info about the vendors for the retail side?...

JoeLanghans

Weather, temperature, high or low pressure, sunrise, moon phase, tide timing, water temp

JoeLanghans

They decided to cancel the tournament cause they couldn’t pay out 150%

Just kiddin, fun tournament, well run by Steve and gang, thanks HLS and team. Ready for the HLS Sunday derbies!

A lot of guys fish the narrows which it down southeast section of the lake. The shad will start balling big down there in a few weeks. Spoons!! Also, Spanish Flats can be good year round, fish the islands. Throw a hud, 68 special in the winter. This is what I have encountered. There are two bites th...

Tackle Warehouse has some types. Boatmasters and C&C had them last time I was there.

Joe L.= Why would you say something like that to me. I've never heard of you, and you don't know me, or know of how many checks I've cashed. I do however expect an apology.

Growing up we’d camp at Lake Amador. They sold live minnows years ago. We would buy a few dozen and go crappie fishing at night off the main dock with floating water spotlights. The crappie fishing was phenomenal but believe it or not we’d always catch a couple big rainbows with the minnows. Loads o...

JoeLanghans

Agreed. If they are soo concerned about the weed, mats, and grass growth on the delta, why wouldn’t they just manually remove it like what they do in the Tahoe Keys in South Lake Tahoe?? They wouldn’t dare to ever spray pesticides in Lake Tahoe so why is it acceptable in the delta rivers? It also do...

We have all seen salmon in the back of sandmound . It’s comment like this Joe guys that make it to where people can’t have intelligent , knowledgeable conversation.

It’s part of the wiin act of 2016 . They are not just targeting the grass , the pellets take the oxygen out of the water to kill invasive species. Striped bass , largemouths and all other introduced species are the targets along with the aquatic vegetation. Won't that stuff kill the salmon, too? No...

Offshore would be open water fishing, grass flats, weed fields, tullies islands, areas in open water. The rest is shoreline fishing or deep water structure/contour fishing

Tuesday, July 24th, my brother and I were out fishing in the are of Mildred Island area. We saw green particles of algae floating in the water. Does anyone know if the water is safe? Does it have any effect on the fish? Please practice catch and release when fishing for largemouth bass in the delta...

Nevermind, join a club. If you are struggling on the delta on slack tides, you need to join a club before fishing the money tournaments. I’m only able to fish 5 hours every two weeks. I stay away from tournaments because I would simply be donating my entry fee. If you’ve done that for 20 years, you...

Club tournaments suck for non boaters since they are not a team tournaments. They also get small turnouts and are not very competitive. Great for beginners and amateurs learning but it sounds like you want competition and blood pumping fun. Ask around, talk to the guys at HLS. Hang out at Russos or ...

This top ten list might actually be written by monkeys... I agree, Sam Rayburn and clear lake, but Diamond Valley in the top ten, crazy. How bout the Delta or Berryessa not even making the top 10. Also, I think it’s time to put Coeur d’Alene in the top 10. Soo dumb
