Hey, I'm heading to McClure this Sat for what seems like for ever since I was last up there. Ive been told that its 5mph from south ramp to the dam. My question to all is, Has any one found any under water Hazards not marked just under the surface that may ruin your day. Not looking for honey holes ...

steve black

Thanks Richard

I need to get up there.
Steve

steve black

Thanks Richard, that was my understanding with Glory Hole ramp, I have 4wd so that's not a issue as well but hadn't thought about having a helping hand to launch,good to know. Also figured that there would be debris floating but that anywhere this time of year while the water coming in. No reason to...

steve black

MT sent you a PM

steve black

Thanks basscat18, I take it that its still the Glory Hole ramp side. If their are any local guys on the website with other options that maybe safe to launch I'd welcome the info as well. I've heard some areas are not wise to launch if your not a local. Wish that wasn't the case but I guess that's th...

steve black

Just wondering if any one has been up there and what condition the launch ramps are in? Last word I heard was that you had to launch off of dirt and needed 4WD. I see a couple of circuits are fishing there in Feb so I'm hoping it's still not on dirt. Any info would be appreciated. Steve :D

Way to go Stan, Keep them pictures coming.

Hey George, I think I have it really bad, you better put me down for both places, for at least a week at a time.

Sad news, I had the pleasure fishing with him when I first started Bass Fishing with the Merced Bass Club several times. A man with several talents, I remember a time to this date blasting off and running in the fog at McClure when their wasn't GPS, never putting us in danger,but knew the lake conto...

steve black

Bill,I sent you a text Thank Steve, Merced Ca

steve black

Thanks Ash, Sounds as if just about anything will work depending on the way you want to fish it. Thanks for all the great insight guys

steve black

Thanks, Burke,Medfish and Ron, for your thoughts. I was using a Revenge blue gill pattern with a Keitech trailer and they just wouldn't leave it alone to my liking :D I'm usually a blade, swim bait, or cranking guy but yesterday opened a whole new world to me. The number of 4lb plus fish that didn't...

steve black

So yesterday I have the best day Ive ever had on Chatter-baits on the Delta. So for my curiosity without giving up any of your secrets, my 2 questions to those that use them regularly, do you us a trailer, example straight tail, single tail grub, paddle-tail swim bait type, Yamamoto swim tail,or not...

steve black

Congrats Tripletrouttroy.... you lucky rat

Keep us posted how it works for you, pics etc enjoy.

steve black

Just in time for some summertime slop,count me in. PS keep up the great workmanship

steve black

I just wanted to tell everyone who may do business with either of these guys that they are trust worthy and honest couple of guys. They are M Malinao and Brian D. I sold a TM and bought a TM from the classifieds and I think everyone got what they wanted. In this day and age you never know who you ma...

steve black

Thanks to all who responded,I cant wait to put it on. After 12yrs my old Max 101 still runs strong, Ive never had a issue with it. Hopefully some one will give it a good home,so if any one is looking for a dependable motor at a good price it will be for sale in a couple of weeks. Again thanks too al...

steve black

Thanks Ken, I thought that may be a problem. Thanks for replying.

steve black

Can anyone who has replaced a older, 03 Minn Kota Maxxum 101,45 shaft, with a 2013 Minn Kota Fortex 101 tell me if the bolt up pattern is the same or I'm I going to have to drill new holes. I hoping there the same,I hate drilling into something that floats on water. Any help would be greatly appreci...

steve black

I need a little help on understanding the plug of the US/2. I'm in the process of purchasing a used two yr old Minn Kota Fortex 101 with the US/2 transducer. I asked the owner what type of graph he was using and it was Lowrance. His picture of the plug end was metal and had 4 pins, I have a X87 Lowr...

Found the results in the tourn section thanks.

steve black

Just curious if there were any results posted of the 02/21/15 derby. Number of boats and if any big girls showed up in their bags yesterday. That lake is on fire lately with big fish showing up on overcast parts of the lake. My curiosity has been eating away at me since the drive home yesterday. Any...

steve black

Just a heads up,these are the 90 size, I made the mistake of not asking and drove a hour before I found out that they weren't what I was looking for. Not saying it was a wasted trip,the new colors are awesome,and cant wait until the 130's finally hit the shelf, also its never a wasted trip when you ...

steve black

Tracy, I'm not sure if you remember me from Nor Cal, but I had the pleasure of fishing with both of you. Ed was always friendly and willing to share his knowledge with guys like myself that were just starting out. Guys like that are always hard to find. If you remember the good times,Ed will never b...

steve black

Like the title states, Mark at Roboworm is a man of his word,quick reply and awesome customer service. Again thank-you for taking care of us anglers and our needs. Top notch company!!!
Steve.

steve black

Hit and miss like all our foothill lakes, you just have to move around until you get a signal...kinda like the fishing

steve black

If you still have these can you send pictures, Thanks

steve black

Word from the wise, have plenty of extra LV's. The lava rock in the lake can be brutal on the baits, but rewarding in the fish. If your not bouncing of the rocks at times, your not getting bit

Good luck fishing,
Steve.

steve black

Awesome fish young man :D By the looks of both your smiles, regardless of the weight it will be a day not easily forgotten. It looks as if you had two keepers, your fish and your Dad. Way to go Dad in spending time with your son making all these remediable moments with your son. Hats off to you sir....

steve black

Wow Mike, awesome customer service, Ive only had a half a dozen bags of the 6inch MMIII lose their color that had gone transparent. I took a couple of packs back to the tackle shop where I bought them which they took care of me, again great customer service. After that I just chalked it up to bad ba...

steve black

ABT has done it again, what a great looking fish catching bait. When will it ever stop !!! I for one hope NEVER! Keep up the great work ABT, I can honestly say, everyone should have at least one of these in your arsenal, for any body of water. Thank-you for the opportunity to win one ABT, hope I win...

steve black

Nice TOAD Johnny, Melones looks like even though the water drought this year, it isn't effecting the health and quality of the fish... another diamond in the rough. Good looking fish!!! Someone once told me that there wasn't any gold left in them hills... looks like they weren't looking for the righ...

steve black

Congrats to both of you. Hope you both catch the big girls and take a lot of pictures to post for the rest of us to eat our hearts out lol. I don't know either one of you guys, perhaps that's a good thing, I'd be tempted to ask to throw them, haha. Really, congrats and enjoy your early Christmas pre...

steve black

Awesome bait,with life like features = Awesome toad catches, you guys that already have and are using them keep those pictures coming... I could look at them all day long... well unless I win one, then I'll be learning to throw it on the lakes lol Really though you guys keep it up, enjoying the pic'...

Can't find results any where? Curious how the temps affected the bite... sure it was for the better. Thanks for any info. Steve

steve black

Thank you Patty, very interesting info. Ive been launching their since the late 80's since I travel from the middle of the valley,Merced. Ive see great changes since the first time using the launch area, but all this time never new you had a store selling tackle and food. I guess the excitement of g...

steve black

Found it George, didn't see it the first time, they say the eyes are first to go lol thanks,Steve .

steve black

George, Family obligations keep me from going, but hoping it was a good turn out. Do you have a place to view the results for us that couldn't make it.
Thanks, Steve.

steve black

When you do you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner, Ive replaced mine on my 04 skeeter 2 yrs ago and what a difference it makes on visibility during the tulle fog months we get here in the valley. Now I'm looking for the clear back up lamps to complete the look,as well as lighting up those dark u...

steve black

WOW thanks Harry, yep I think Pedro,Melones and the Delta is going to get all my business. I almost didn't recognize cotton wood. Thanks again for the heads up and great pictures, man I thought the fishing would have been better, go figure.
Steve

steve black

Excellent report, makes me wanna load up the truck and head to Clear Lake. Also great pictures of tackle to perhaps get more ideas from.. this is what all lake reports should be like. Hats off to you Dan
Steve.

steve black

Thanks Bruce, just what I was wondering, Im in a White 03 Skeeter,with a 225 yaha on back, should you ever see me feel free to say hello.
Steve

steve black

fishndp, Yeah that's what it looked like yesterday, Sat .We were up their around 5-6pm, the wife commented it looked haunted and eerie with only the sounds of wind blowing thru the trees. It differently raises your awareness on how serious this drought is. Amazing structure the lake has when at full...

steve black

Harry, the wife and I were able to get up there as see the situation for ourselves,around 5pm,and although I'm not sure what you drive but looked as if you had the lake too yourself, Hopefully the bite was good maybe you can give us a report. So this what we found out. Wed McClure Pnt was closed for...
