Re: BAM Tournament Trail Site is Up Now!

So, it looks like the entries are pretty reasonable, BUT I couldn't find any mention of PAYOUT. The demise, IMHO, in the Western tournaments participation has been the rise in entry fee's and the lowering of payouts.

Re: Average Hrs on boat per year

I'm on my 8th year with this boat and I've run just a little under 300 hrs fishing 5-6 times a month on average size lakes like Pedro, McClure and Pine Flat, with an occasional Eastman thrown in and a 4-day at Clear Lake and the Delta. So that would be and average of 37.5 hrs per year +/-.

Re: Nor Cal Striper Fishing Tips/Info

Millerton Lake near Fresno has Stripers also. I think the lake record is somewhere around 52lbs. My PB is a 21#er cught by accident while Bass fishing, on a LC Jerk bait !! There are also some in the Mendota sloughs and in the Cal Aqueduct.

Re: Atlas Hydraulic Jack help

Check the fluid level to make sure it''s full. hen check the relays by switching the BLUE wire and the Green wire. If the relay is bad, then the plate will go UP but not go down. If that's the case, you'll need a new relay. I'd advise changing both of them.
