I worked out by the Colorado river in Blythe last week and it was 113. When I am on its 1 - 1 1/2 gals a day.

Cool my favorite Shakey head in a wide gap. How about a wide skip gap model?

Man if I could make it I would attend but being the fri, sat & sun guy for the fd in Riverside probably would keep me from going. It sounds like good times and I wish my logistics were a bit different at times.

As for putting your boat on the trailer I will only say this, anytime you get up and walk away from the trottle especially at high rpm's your asking for trouble even when putting it on the trailer. I would have to think that this is probably true, although I see a lot of people get on the trailer t...

Cooch The VMAX SHO gear case is 1.75 - 1. I love the new motor but if I had not lost the old one I would not have had to cancel our days on the river this year. If you can turn a 25P 3 blade in the right rpm's you will want to buy a Bravo 1 that is at least 1" P less or maybe 2" less pitch...

Cooch I got a TR-21 with a 250 SHO and nothing feels as good as the Merc Bravo 1. This four blade prop gets up quick and gets me well over 70 and I also have the 10" Bob's hydraulic. I would bet if you put a 24P Bravo 1 on it and had small vent holes in it you would love it. I have tried a lot ...

And I don't experience cramping on long runs either - to each their own.

That is why it is an optional accessory - some love 'em, some don't.

Training at work. I was surprised we are doing this on memorial day.

I have an old Curado 101 and the black cast control knob does not seem to be doing anything, Any tips?

offduty

Yeah I finally found the fuel system problem on my boat so thats done. The ol Bronco wont pull the boat and turn the 33" tires with the stock axle I broke so I need a Dana 60. Trans has been acting up in reverse. I need new tie rod ends and radius arm bushings. The fishing has been kinda weird ...

Ash Thanks for the info bro, I guess I have been so busy in my personal life there have been additions I had not noticed yet. Thanks for all the hard work guys, looks like a lot has been going on. I have been kind of inundated with mechanical issues lately, man seems like I got hit with a few challe...

I really dont care for a lot of censorship on a site as to me that is not a true open forum. However when the wrong language is used or personal attacks are involved that is a good reason for censorship and the posters should have the common sense not to do this in the first place. The elimination o...

The marine mechanic that installed the 250 SHO for me said he disabled the valve. I was hoping to find it and take a look at it. I am aware of the ethanol issues and am running the right fuel lines and use Ringfree and the marine Stabil. Sometimes after fishing for a while the motor would act like i...

offduty

Thanks,
I think mine actually screws on to the top of the tank and the pick up tube attaches to the bottom of it. I have nothing attached to the 2 1/2' of hose behind where the fuel line goes in to the tank.

offduty

I have been told by my marine mechanic that there is an automatic fuel shutoff valve that is coast guard required for all boats. It is said to be in line in the fuel line and right after the tank. I was told it is just a spring behind a ball and the spring pushes the ball one direction to keep fuel ...

I have driven 9 hours to CL to not so good fishing, its a haul for some and I hate to see anyone not have a good bite going up there especially when they put out substantial $. I also like to launch out of Nice where they have the break wall around the launch. I like the north end the best but it is...

Cheapest I have found is half distilled white vinegar and half distilled water in a spray bottle for water spots and it is also safe to use on electronics screens. For a wax type product try this spray on pink stuff called Mark V Showroom Finish. I get it by the gallon and it works great and it is a...

Shakey head, Zoom trick worm in watermelon candy. This was suggested by a great guide on that lake and it just flat out works when it gets tough.

Isn't it ironic that when oil goes up, the price goes up within the next day or so and now oil drops $10 a barrel and no drop in prices. No wonder those companies are raking in $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ profits. Guess it pays to have all those elected official in Washington to watch out for us. I think the...

Dance seems like a great guy, surely he is an excellent ambassador for bass fishing. I have seen the bloopers before and liked watching them again. When he got that treble form that crank stuck in the nose I felt bad for him though. I would not want anyone to have to go through that.

I dont even use a spinning rod for casting Senko's anymore since I have discovered the Daiwa Pixy. The reel casts light baits a long way and I can cast more accurately with it. I upgrade to a carbon fiber drag and add ABEC 7 bearings from Boca as this is a reel with a weak drag. I add the bearings f...

Thanks guys! really good input. Nips thanks for the link too, i am in socal so thats perfect. Ceaser in your opinion are the batteries better in the back or middle? Off duty thats a sweet rig. I fish the bays around me too so im def thinking the synthetic sheets may be my answer. Are they strong en...

I live in Ventura Co, are there any locations near me so I can take advantage of this process> If so phone # and address would be appreciated.

Link works for me now, Not a bad idea to be able to disable while towing. Maybe a simple switch could do it.

F DECK.jpg R DECK.jpg I re worked a whole boat interior with King Starlite XL, it is their xtra lite product and I got 5' x 8" sheets from Paragon Plastic in Santa Ana, Ca for 155.00 which is a great deal if you price the stuff. They had 1/4". 1/2" & 3/4". This stuff you can...

I use a microfiber cloth and 50% distilled water and 50% distilled white vinegar. Works great on water spots and is the cheapest I have found. You should not use windex as ammonia is not good for the units. Works great on the motor too and if you buy a gallon of each and a spray bottle your good for...

Looks like on the newer Mac Pro you have to hold down 1 finger and move L or R or up & down with the other. I got it figured out although its different from how I do it on this computer with everything else where I use 2 fingers and slide in the desired direction. I appreciate the help thanks :D...

Magazine looks great. Is there a way to scroll up and down when I enlarge a page? I can enlarge but then I can not get the top and bottom of the page. I am on a 17" Macbook Pro.

Yeah I will do that, PM me your address and I will send ya the baits.

Rich...you're not trying to drag all that drama from that site to this one are you? :D I have no idea which bait came first and which is better because I've only fished Mike's, but to address the original question... I have a couple of Mike's baits and I really like both of them. One is a floater a...

offduty

Maybe I got a couple bunk baits I know it happens but 2 in a row is enough to sour me. Especially if I am asked to pay to ship them back.

Beautiful

Thanks

Dont forget the High Power Herring. This is a very similar bait and I recently was given one to try out that has a single hook on top of the bait held in a slot by a magnet, great bait for ticking the top of grass and many colors to choose from. I have both lures and there is a lot of drama over who...

You may like the new Fuji K series micro guides. I like them better than the others and the locking wrap that Ash talked about is also the way Kistler does theirs. I would love to learn how to do the locking wrap, does anyone have any info on it?

Rich

offduty

I really enjoy the micro guides but unless they are spiral wrapped to the bottom of the rod micro's dont appeal to me that much. When they spiral them to the bottom it eliminates the rod twist when fighting fish, to me this is not a big deal but if I am going micro's i feel I might as well go all th...

I use the round rubber skirt material you can order it from Tackle Wharehouse. You can bend a paper clip in to a hook to pull it through.

I have a green back floating shad that is perfect for 125.00 shipped and a signed blue back sinker for 200.00 shipped

I am pretty sure you need a new battery. I had the same thing happen 3 days ago and the battery was just done. I replaced that battery and am now good to go.

I assume you guys know that Paypal and eBay are owned by the same folks. Starting today if you sell on eBay using Paypal you will get an electronic form so the income can be claimed on your taxes.

Nipples I understand the concept of freedom of speech and you certainly have a right to yours. From your post I take it that I am a moron to have been born in So Cal. Seems like you think all the water that flows through the Delta belongs to you. I am not real happy with the politicians or the laws ...

I would position the boat as shallow as possible on points. Throw the Hudd out down the point and let it hit the bottom. If you watch your line it will jump a bit when it hits bottom. Reel the bait up the point and try different angles. Drop offs are good spots too. Most of my big swimbait fish have...

I just made a new dash panel myself. I wanted to rearrange the gauges so I could fit in what I felt I needed. This is the dash of my 99 TR-21. I used 1/4" King Starboard that I bought off ebay. King Starboard is specifically used for marine applications and is similar to plastic cutting board m...
