Throw any color plastic worm as long as it's Junebug. Senkos work very well in Florida. I was in Orlando a few years back before Senkos were popular outside of the west coast. The old timers were surprised to see me catch a 5lber before we even left the docks. They have never seen a Senko before...i...

G-man, I can't comment about the fish being belly up with the cull bobber, but I can tell you that adding Rejuvenade into your livewell will really help keep those bass lively. It's not cheap stuff, costs about $12-15/bottle, but it is worth it to keep your catch alive. If you haven't tried it, give...

The 5mph zone at Tiki isn't that long at all. It's one bend of the river until you get to the bridge. From there, take Empire Cut and you'll be at the south end of Mildred in no time.

That's AWESOME Gator!!!! It wasn't but three or four years ago that I couldn't stand fishing with my pops. I ALWAYS had to do all the work and it effected "my" time on the water. Not only that, I had to pay for everything! No sooner did it hit me that pops became one of my most enjoyable f...

A fish of a lifetime! Congrats getting her into the boat.

The Minn Kota unit is physicaly heavier than the Motorguide. Go with the MinnKota and you'll never look back. The hardest thing to get used to on the Minn Kota is the button on the foot pedal. You're used to it being on the opposite side on the Motorguide units. After a day of fishing you'll train y...

Johnny C, What you were looking at is the non-detailed world map that is installed on every Lowrance GPS unit. Go down and talk to the guys at Fisherman's Warehouse or Gene at the Hook about the best chip for your unit for the motherlode lakes. I have one for the delta and the detail is awesome. The...

1996 488VS with the EFI is your best choice.

Com'on Long, you know alot of guys are prefishing for stren so turnout would rightfully be smaller but money plays a Large factor, as well as how a circuit is run, in whether or not guys fish a given circuit. Okay Jason, I'll give you that. :D :D The payout at AC is very good. One of the best in ou...

Long Nguyen

Great job by the staff but money is the key to good turnouts...

Jason,

Obviously this isn't true because only 55 boats showed up. You can have a good product but if your clients don't know about it, it won't matter.

I'm assuming Gary is talking about the Rapala Magnum 18. It's a 7" minnow style bait designed primarily for saltwater use.

You can check out a Magnum series baits at the Rapala website. Link is attached.

Nice Win! Congrats.
Can't wait to read the story.

Long Nguyen

Thanks for putting this together. I'll show up.

Wow! Looks like Gary called out a few guys! :D :D I've personally seen the positive effects a group of organized anglers can do. Just look at what influence the Coastside Fishing Club did...saving the recreational salmon season in the ocean. As anglers, we need to stick together and contribute to th...

Long Nguyen

Willie- For us "old timers", Delta Bait and Tackle is the name we're used to. To be correct, it's actually "Fisherman's Warehouse" now. :D :D Your advice is dead on. Oh, and that moster bass your pops caught made for a great photo. I like fishing with pops myself, especially when...

Long Nguyen

Josh- You bring up some valid points. I do think BASS abandoned us on the west coast. However, I still watch their programing and visit the website because there are many west coast anglers, some friends of mine, that are competing on the Tour. I root them on and follow the tournament results. Guys ...

Long Nguyen

I agree with you Paul. I enjoy watching the ESPN bass tournament television coverage over the FLW. What I find amusing in both shows is the voice over of a roaring crowd cheering when an angler is walked up on stage. Ever notice that? If you record on TiVo, rewind it and listen. Cracks me up all the...

Dave and Jerry,

Thanks for the kudos, but really, it's all for a very good cause and an even better message. It's my pleasure to help and support such a good group of people.

Long Nguyen

rs- I don't have a desginated pitchin rod. But the 8' LTA is hands down my favorite rod for the baits you listed. I can pitch a bait super far or flip a bait a good distance without any splash. When I get bit it moves a lot of line and I can control the fish pretty easily. If you fish a lot around t...

Long Nguyen

rs- You can use a similar rod for most of the applications you list. My personal preference are 7', 7.5' and 8' rods for the delta. Most, if not all, are fast actions for the techniques you listed. Power ranges from Med-Hvy to Ex-Hvy. I learned a lesson the hard way in a Pro Am back in 1999 about us...

Congrats Mark. I remember a few years back when you were fishing the am side of the AC pro am. Impressive sack of spotted bass! You're the man!

Mike's fish was a HUGE spotted bass. It's gut was all I can remember. Personally, I think Mike is going to be a swimbait fanatic here on out... :D :D The HonorBound was another great success. Thanks to all the individuals and sponsors that help make this event to enjoyable. We'll see you all again n...

Mac-

I have a Pixy that I am willing to depart with. It has only been used 2 or 3 times. Since then, I've left it in the box. Original papers and box are included.

Make me an offer if you're interested or if you'd like to see it. Oh, and it's a right hand retrieve.

Tony, My buddy Jon and I started to fish the Delta when we were in high school living in San Jose. Back in the day, Dink Mendez of Rodstrainer tackle suggested that we launch at Holland Riverside Marina. So not knowing any better, we took his advice and launched there and fished endlessly in Rock, H...

Mike- You don't want to call Harper. Harper had to go get a ringer in Chad Martin for this event. Anything he'll tell you to steer you the wrong way. :D :D My guess is he'll go toss that darn swimbait for 10 hours and weigh in 50lbs for 4 bass! At least it'll be easy to follow him and Chad for the d...

Mike, Interestingly, John and Justin are doing two completely different things. I'm sure they're sharing info, but they're not using the same baits. I spoke with John Jr on Sunday night, and he was really excited about pracitce after figuring a pattern out. Based on our conversation tonight, his fis...

Mike,

I plan on being there for the Honor Bound at Folsom this Saturday. If you need some questions answered, and Dave or Jerry can't get back to you in a timely manner, shot me a phone call or email.

It's a fun event with a lot of comraderie.

Wow, I'm shocked. Condolences to the Hoffeditz family. Please keep us updated of any urgent needs of the family.

Long Nguyen

Richard, Juice? C'mon now. We showed up at the Oroville CBAF with no practice and still got a top 5. In between his constant phone interviews and groupies calling him, I may be able to pull him aside to fish this event. As for Harper, he felt the tremble in the distance and had to call the calvery.....

Long Nguyen

I'd go with Fenwick because they have a wider breadth of rod offerings and they have a high performance line of rods with their Techna AV series that Berkley doesn' have.

Long Nguyen

I'll try to make it to this year's event after I speak with my ringer...John Billheimer Jr. Let's hope the weather gets better!

Long Nguyen

Nice summary Cal. Looks like you two had a good time.

Long T, Thanks for the kudos man! That is one HUGE bass, a fish of a lifetime. You earned it too, but next time set your goals a little higher. You set your goals WAY WAY too low.

I installed a 6" Bob's Hydraulic on a 520 and saw some additional benefits. I chose Bob's brand because Ranger uses Bob's as OEM. If you're going to install one, I echo Dewayne's advice and go with a hydraulic. It allows you to play with the height of your engine while you're underway. Getting ...

His smile is HUGE. You can't get a smile like that out of a kid by playing video games. Seeing photos like young Garrett catching bass really get me excited about fishing. It gets me even more excited to share the sport with my little cousins and nephews...all of which spend too much time in front o...

I don't know Steve personally, but Mike Tremont and Kevin Ryan are two super nice guys. It doesn't surprise me to see them helping another bass angler out. I'm proud to call them friends.

Sieg, I canâ€™t predict who will win this thing, but I do have a favorite, and that would be Billheimer Jr. I met John when he and his family moved into a home down the street from me in Discovery Bay. I think he was 12 or 13 years old and was in middle school. One afternoon I saw him fishing alone ...
