Probably not until the lake cools and turns over will it be "clear" again. Remember, this is "floating" type alge and it's somewhat clear underneath.

Mitch

Depends on the age of your boat as to warrantee, but most boats will experance this. I think a lot of it is due to the way it's driven in rough water. The pounding the wave puts a lot of stress on them and the longer the boat the more they can be stressed. Slow down in rough water and learn to "...

Mitch

I believe the Fortex is different. I replace my MG 105 with a Minn Max 101 and they lined up perfectly

Mitch

bolt holes for Minn and MG are same. I'd go with a Minn. 80#

Mitch

Very good idea. I hope it works out for you. I'm going to keep you on file for future referance. Are there any problems in dealing with repair shops, or would a dealer be better to take it to in case of needed service ?

Mitch

Anybody got any Rally pics to post ?? DIdn't get to make it this year. Really missed fishing it and would like to see some pics and hear some stories too !!!!

Mitch

Your on the right tract. Keep up the treatments and take your time to get back into the swing of things. I'll keep you in my thoughts and wishes. Good luck Dan. See ya on the water

Mitch

Won't be able to make this year..........DAMN !!! Gotta fullfill another comitment on the same date, but will be thinking of you guys having all the fun. Hope to make it next year tho.

Mitch

You'll also need a certified weight on the TRAILER only. This is the hardest part. Launch somewhere you can leave the boat or leave someone with it and get an UNLAIDEN CERTIFIED weight at the nearest public scale.

Mitch

Go somewhere else if you want to fish !!!! The lake is taken over by skiers from May to Sept. It's a 5 mph from 8 pm to 8am, then look out. The lake is a big "bowl" and once the skiers start the wave motion, it never stops until they're off the water. The waves have no flat bank to disapat...

Mitch

I still feel there is a need for some kind of seat restraint needed in a boat that is capable of speeds in excess of 35 mph. Yeah I know, nobody wants to be "strapped" in if a boat flips upside down, but how many "flips" do you hear of vs how many "ejections" do you hea...

Mitch

LIke what I saw...............Whats the price tag

Mitch

after using sunscreen or loations I wash my hands with rubbing alcohol then with a non sented soap I buy at BassPro Shop in the hunting dept. Then before I handle my baits I rub a SMALL dose of Smelly Jelly on my hands. Seems to work for me. (dont lick yur fingers tho !!!)

Mitch

It depends on what you are trying to simulate. Double for crawdads and single for bait fish. At least that's the way I do it.

Mitch

Fantastic lake for large and small mouth, just gotta hit it right. This time of year, throw blades, jerkbaits and senkos. Wacky rigged senkos around floating docks, blades and jerkbaits on points and wood. Gurbs or hulla grubs on darter heads works on the flats too. Good luck and let us know how you...

Mitch

Hey, I'm in !!! Will miss the raffle tho, but like I need more gear. I wouldn't want to miss out on one of my favorite outing tho. Hell, we all can bring our own lunches and drinks for crying out loud!! Hope to get drawn to Hardshell this year......want to ride in the new GREEN MACHINE before he wea...

Mitch

There are rooms at Knocti Vista Casino Hotel blocked off for the Rally. I just booked mine. Tell them you are with the Rally when makeing reservations

Mitch

I'm with Scotth, Yozuri all the way. Strong, and resistant, and holds knots. I use a lot if it for leader on braid........works great

Mitch

Sounds like you didn't buy a deep cycle battery. Make sure you get a marine or RV deep cycle. I use the Optama Blue tops and can run 2 days without recharging under normal conditions. I've never run out even on a rough windy day. Last set lasted 4 yrs and had warrentee still left on them. You can go...

Mitch

using an average of 3 hr running time per day of fishing that would be 8,333 days !!! or..........every day for 22.83 years !!!!!! I want that job that will allow him to do that. LOL LOL

Mitch

Can't beat a 6'6'' for accuracy with a blade or tight quarter cranks, and for dock fishing with a spinning rod. That said, the rest of my rods are all 7 or better. Don't think I'll ever get rid of them tho

Mitch

Whats that cnvert to in American dollars ? Looks like you'll be delivering a lot of papers on that route

Mitch

females should be loading up and staging OUTSIDE bedding flats. Males will be moving in to make beds. I would fish off shore along tule flats in the north and the outsides of docks. You can catch the smaller bucks around docks with senkos or drop shots too. Either way, it's Clear Lake.............ha...

Mitch

Hell, you're too damn ornrey to die off jest yet...............

Mitch

kOOL RIG !!!! Needs a bigger flippin deck tho

Mitch

Try runing a fused wire from the ground of the TM plug to the ground wire of the Sonor unit...............worked for me

Mitch

I've tried it both ways and find that if I buy a quality reel with a GOOD drag that back reeling is not necessary. I buy reels based on their drag, not on how many bearings they have. Shamano for both spinning and baitcasting. Some guys are just more comfrotable doing backreeling than others

Mitch

Damn Pat, don't tell ALL the secrets to everybody. I''ve been doin that at the Delta for years on an outgoing tide n the weeds. Hang on for some ferocious bites doing this

Mitch

I like some of the Bass Cat "goodies" on they're boats. Just too bad they"re on a Bass Cat..................RANGER FOREVER

Mitch

used a product called Krudd Kutter and a stiff brush. Looked brand new when I was done. Takes a little more time to rinse, but worth the effort. Also, if you have a grease or oil spot, use Dawn dishwashing soap on it. Amazzing !!!!

Mitch

Use 1/4" aluminum backing plate or you'll be right back in the same fix again. if you go to an aluminum fabricator he will have scrap pieces you can get cheep or maybe even FREE !!!!

Mitch

It's supposed to replay at 3 am. I hope it's not more NASCAR !!!

Mitch

most are fishing too fast !!!! You've got to slow down to fish the river this time of year. It's gonna take someone using a critter bait or moving a crankbait or spinnerbait very slowly

Mitch

This is more of a problem than most people realize. I'm glad to see that Texas is doing something. I've been sending mine to Berkley for years. I like the Texas plan. Maybe we could get the Bass clubs and Tournament directors t ger involved in this. Something needs to be done. It's sad to see a bird...

Mitch

Hooray for Lake County. Glad to see someone taking the lead. This is going to be the future, dont know why its taking so long for everyone to catch on to this

Mitch

What ever the problem is they are still the best rods out there and are and always will be worht the wait.

Mitch

I agree with Hardshell wholeheartedly. Pre-fish is designed to learn the lake at that peticular time, where the better fish are, what they'll eat, etc, etc. Any one who goes out and lands every fish they can is not using the pre-fish properly. I know a lot of guys who have caught more in pre-fish th...

Mitch

You may laugh at that, but I would bet it'll catch fish. It looks very much like a small snake. I'd make a red/black one too. Those are pretty comon around the highland resavours

Mitch

I'd use a 2 iron for swimbaits !!!

Mitch

I've fished the Red River and I too believe it's going to be a flip bite. Lots and lots of standing and fallen timber. The amount of inflow will determain the position of the fish. The river tends to get "chocolate" real fast with a lot of inflow from the rain. Senkos and jigs should produ...

Mitch

Damn, thats a scary deal.................No more Mickey D's for me !!!!

Mitch

what channel is it called ? I have Direct TV. Anybody know when and what channel ?

Mitch

I had the same problem on a 93 492 Ranger with a 225 Yamaha. I was running a 25 pitch 3-blade. I added a 6" jack plate and did not see much improvement. HOWEVER, when I went to a 23 pitch 4-blade it was like I had put a new motor on. If you have a prop shop near by, they will alow you to try di...

Mitch

best money I ever spent on battery's. I run them in all my vechiles, including my motorhome and Peterbuilt

Mitch

where's the "Filpping Deck" ?????

Mitch

Dueler AT's 265/75x16's

Mitch

I've been running Bridgestone Duelers for the last 15 yrs on my Bronco and Tahoe 4x4's. I get 75-80k miles a set !!! Just rotate and balance them every 10k miles. Great traction and they don't sing going down the hwy. Great price at Discount tires and they offer a lifetime rotate, balance and align ...

Mitch

I've had great luck with the Rattlin VIbe baits. They make more noise than most other rattle trap type lures.

Mitch

sounds like a broken wire that makes contact intermitintly. Mine would do the same thing when the motor was turned one way and then start when it was turned the other way. Check your wiring harness from the main batt to the motor. It may also be in the key switch. Best thing to do is take it to a se...

Mitch

Way to go Michael. Knew you had it in you. Keep up the good effort and go for that AOY next season
