Launched at Sugarloaf this AM. Two lane ramp OK (old highway 99), parking is a disaster, dock is useless.

While my annual Shasta Launch Permit is good there, (good at all public ramps) I can't believe Shasta Rec is charging $20 to launch/park here.

Jboutfishn

And I wonder where the Sites Reservoir is? If our elected reps cared about anything besides getting reelected we could have more water for all uses.

Jboutfishn

Problem turned out to be the Hot Foot not fully returning to idle. We are talking less that 1/16 of an inch.

Jboutfishn

At Idle speeds when shifting from forward or reverse into neutral without squeezing the Neutral Lock Bar the motor quits. Of course the bar must be squeezed to shift into gear, but must you squeeze to bar to shift out of gear so as not to shut off the motor?
Any help from other Z19 owners?

A good 4WD could launch off of the point.
Packer Bay is still open, although very narrow. Long walk up the ramp to parking area!

Jboutfishn

Hirtz Bay campground is closed with some logging going on. I took these pics of the launch area, hope it helps in your decision.

Jboutfishn

With the lake being 108 feet down and dropping daily most camping and boat launch areas are closed. One option may be camping at Lakeshore East. There is little water in front of the campground now but there is a low water launch about 2 miles south of the campground. Good but narrow ramp, good dock...

Yup, same goes for the Redding area.

Found one, thank you!

I posted this in the Classifieds without any luck. Looking to buy a Boat Buddy. I had one for 10 years without issue and let it get away. I know they are no longer made, but it fit my needs perfectly.

Please PM me with any help.

Hey Russ, you have a PM.

The water temps were 53 to 55 10 days ago. Wish I could be more help but will be without boat for the next two months.

Bad Link?

We need someone in the State House who cares as much for a health of the Delta as they care about the votes of the water users in the central valley.

Your not only protecting yourself but everyone on the same lake from your runaway boat if/when you get tossed out.

Just sayin.

Jboutfishn

It's not just bass fishing. I was fly fishing a run on the upper Owens when a jerk walks up and start chunking a glob of worms through the water. No clue. Jerks abound everywhere. Many times it is just lack common sense. Fishing Shasta I have had ski boat run by at speed not 50 feet away, quite a ri...

Thinking about ordering a new Nitro Z20. Looking to determine which dealer is going to give me the best service. I have bought boats from both dealers in the dim historic past without issues, but as I said, a few years ago. Any comments about service today would be appreciated.

Desalination plants can supply water to many cities, but as was stated previously, agriculture is the big user. I believe modern hi tech irrigation could go a long ways in solving the problem. If some of our legislators wanted to address the problem instead of worrying about reelection we could make...

Went to the local Circle K, noticed at least 1/3 of the people not wearing a mask. Stopped at NAPA for some Sta-Bil, not a mask to be seen. Think there is an issue?

Jboutfishn

Make your move before it's to late. I escaped Southern California to Shasta 25 years ago. The political situation and cost of living for all California has really gone to hell in that time frame, and at 78 I really don't want to start over. The good part is I still try to hit the lake once or twice ...

2009 Z6, 115 Merc has been flawless. Looking at a new Z20.

Shasta Rec says scheduled to open on the 14th.

When I clicked on the link it downloaded a 54 meg mp4. I then had to open the down load to view it. First time that has happened. ? Always enjoy the kids fishing.

Jboutfishn

Not only do they not know what they are doing, they don't even suspect.

Jboutfishn

My son was trout fishing the upper Sac above Slate Creek and caught several Spots. How far upstream from Shasta do the bass go? I have caught Squaw fish as large 5 lbs as far north as Gibson Road but never any bass.

The Delta is not the only place boating ignorance abounds.

Are you happy with the first four years?

Yup

Northern Light Energy in Redding advertises non ethanol fuel. I suspect any energy company company in larger cities my carry it.

Jboutfishn

Tulloch, like Melones, Don Pedro and other bodies of water in our region contains squawfish. A non-game species native to riverine waters on the west side of the sierras. These fish can, and do exceed 15 pounds. I, personally, have had squawfish break new 20 pound mono ON THE STRIKE and at the boat...

Not sure of the exact year (1979-1981?) I remember my Dad catching steelhead in Malibu Creek. I remember him saying he parked in a market parking lot and stepped over a low wall and started fishing. This was close to the coast. Back in 1978 a contractor building homes in Simi Valley told me as a boy...

Can anyone bring me up to date on the history of bass in Lake Shasta?

After summer and the grand kids go backs to school, I dump Stabil in the ski boat and run on the hose for 20 minutes. Come next summer the boat starts right up. Disclaimer: That engine is a 350 GM. The 2 stroke bass boat gets run most of the year and I use the same Stabil in winter just in case I do...

Jboutfishn

Very nice trout. Steelhead do not have a belly like that. As was said, getting fat on the turbine discharge.

Jboutfishn

The Pit arm of Shasta has many side arms that are all marked 5mph. Also the main Pit past Arbuckle camp is also marked no ski for many miles.
Good luck with you Dad.

Jboutfishn

The last freshwater fish I kept was about a 5 lb rainbow, most likely a plant, on the Owens River 50 years ago. Since then all bass, trout, and steelhead have been returned to the water.

Jboutfishn

Link to pic?

Jboutfishn

Was out Wednesday, strange day, a big zero all morning. Made up for it after lunch, quality fish, one almost 3lbs. Friend was out later that evening and picked up a 4lb spot.
