thanks for correcting the math issue....so at 660 tongue and 5000 tow, I should be ok. Anyone tow with a similar configuration? If would make me feel better knowing others are doing similar or the same

Anyone tow with a cabover camper and hitch extension? I just bought a cabover camper and was told that if I use and extension adapter, I will lose 1/3 of the towing capacity. With that said the hitch rating on my 3/4 ton truck is 1000 tongue and 7500 tow. So my available towing at the hitch w/ exten...

I have a 04 GMC 2500HD diesel w/ the stock receiver hitch. I called the dealer and was told I have a class III hitch.

If thats the case, I have 5000/3 for tow and 500/3 for tongue. Looks like I need to upgrade to a class IV

bustout

Anyone tow with an extension hitch? I have a camper on a 3/4 ton truck which requires me to use an extension hitch 18".

I heard you lose tow/tongue capacity by doing this.....how big of a boat can I now tow?

Also, how much is a hitch upgrade class III to IV or IV to V ?

thanks in advance

I heard that party boats in the bay are able to fish salmon this year. Anyone know if this applies to inland river fishing for salmon?

bustout

...that's the same Sunny's that I have experienced over a decade ago. I am surprised this guy is still in business.

Try Gene at "the hook" or Jay Liu in Redding. You may have to ship to these guys but better than going to Sunny's !!!

bustout

anyone know who repairs jet drives? I have a 2 stage kodiak jet on a 21ft boat and v8 block. Jetcraft is the make of the boat. Used to be my salmon boat but now it is just an expensive runabout due to the river salmon closure.

thanks in advance

I had a pin hole leak in my lower unit. Was told that the gearcase does not build up pressure so I gave JB Weld a try. Lasted over 5 years before I sold the boat.

Put a good coating of paint, a label or thin coat of silicone over your bondo job for extra protection.

which organization is having this tourney? where will they be launching?

bustout

I was out bait fishing for striper last winter and saw a large seal hangin around the boat. There were 4 of us and 1 had about a 10 lber on. The seal took the fish and thrashed it about within our sight. Then we had 3 simultaneous hookups.....3 fish between 10-15lb. We landed the 3 and then casted o...

Is there a live feed website where we can see the weighin on the web?

If so, please provide the link..

thanks in advance

saw him in his yellow/black truck on my way to the Stockton Thunder game. After the 2nd period, they announced him to the crowd. Not much of an ovation...probably cause they dont know who he is. Is there a major delta tourney this coming weekend which is why Skeet is in town? Just curious as i would...

bustout

go w/ the 20ft.....especially if you fish the delta.

shimano TX.....$25 . Get a new one every season or 2

its always advertised as a trout fishery but since it is connected to mclure thru the dam, i wonder if there are bass in there.

looking to get my 9 yr old son on some bass. looking for qty of bites, not trophy hunting.

if fishable, any tips would be appreciated

thanks

definately north shore.....entrance just off of hwy 88. if you go south shore, it would be another 15 miles (go around the lake...making a turn east when you reach the 88/12 intersection)

bustout

i saw that the gate closes at 9pm and re-opens at 4am. Can you arrive before 9pm, fish till say midnite or so, then go home?

if so, is there a speed limit at nite?

thanks in advance

clean the "pee" hole. I had an engine where deposits in the tube restricted water coming out. It would only "pee" at higher RPM's. Also, my engine does not "pee" a steady stream unless it is at least 75% in the trim down position. Example, if coming off plane and then t...

by boat.....bass boat if we bass fish only. also have a jet sled w/ trolling motor in front/back if wanted to troll for trout in the morning, then switch to spots mid morning.

I have a friend from ORE coming to town and he wants to fish New Melones. We used to fish it over 10 years ago when he lived in the area. I have not fished it since then.

Has anyone fished it recently? tips?
condition of launch access near the marina?

thanks in advance
Jack

I have a friend in TX with the same issue. He bought a solar trickle charger.....connects it when done for the day and next weekend, batteries are fully charged (you will need a charger for each battery).

bustout

I have given up on the top water for the last few weeks and up until this weekend, fishing was slow baitfishin....this saturday caught several in the 4-6lb range along w/ a 12lb kicker...this was in the rio vista area. Maybe they are finally here?

bustout

saw that Pringle guy out there last year. We were fishing opposite sides of the SJ near stockton (mouth of calaveras). a boil occured and I hooked up on a good one....it ended up being around 10lb. Once I netted and released it, guess who was on my exact spot? It was Pringle.....never saw him move o...

I dont have one and was wondering if it is right for me. The recessed pedal seems more difficult to work as you have to extend your foot below the deck line which causes you to reach down with the toes of your foot or heel. With the traditional mount, fully turning rt or left gets you from 4" f...

What's the best for delta stripers? What are the pro's/con's with both types?

I tried braid for the 1st last weekend. I kept getting it tangled on the front hook. How do I avoid this ?

thanks

bustout

1st time using braid....65 power pro

what knot do I tie?

thanks

bustout

other than punkers or spooks (top water)....the only rig I currently have for sub-surface is a rattletrap.

I have heard of flukes and other hollow bodied rigs. Can someone give me an idea on what to start with and how to rig them (lead head or egg sinker w/ leader, etc)

thanks
Jack

which brand is recommended and lb rating?

is berkeley firewire ok to use?
stren?

thanks

I have read that folks replace the stock hooks. Now I know why. I went out last week and caught some top water striper. The bigger ones seem to just crush the bait and also damage the stock spook hooks as well as the holding ring. what do you replace them with (hook size, etc) also, do you really ne...

went out on the 18th. no wind for a change. didnt see any bird activity so started on the south side entrance to the break. within 15min, had a 8 incher hit my spook. For the next 2 hours, I had mulitple fish from 8 inches to 16 inches. got 2 that were 21 and 24 inches. left for franks and was greet...

Please help. I currently have a full size 3/4Ton short bed diesel truck and tow a 20ft Nitro. I was looking into buying cabover campers and many models require the tailgate down. In order to tow a 14" extension is needed on the hitch receiver in order for the tow vehicle to have adequate cleara...

mine broke and the replacements had more leafs in them. since they were stiffer (higher load rating), I had to replace all four springs. boat trailers on the road much better than before this was on my deep v bay boat. my bass boat is a nitro and It has single leaf springs...the trailer mfg for by b...

my bilge pump works submerged, but the livewell pump pumps thru a tube which goes thru the transom. you would think that some of the pumped water could be diverted to help cool the motor i like the fuse idea....its overfused due to other circuits connected...I will fuse this idependenly w/ the sugge...

I replaced a bad livewell pump and 1st time out it failed. on top where the wires come out....it is burned/overheated. anyone know what is the cause? is it because I left it on when on plane and it was running dry w/out water? I also noticed many small fish scales in the line between pump/tank..shou...

it has always happened to me....seems to happen right after making a "reply" to a thread

bustout

try Grande Bass Worms ....but they are expensive too

bustout

i priced the cost for materials and it was close to purchasing from a trailer shop/mfg. so i figured why go thru the labor and bought them.

I used to run 89 in my 1985 200efi and switch to 87 when we had the really high gas prices last year. I noticed that my injectors get clogged more frequently hence needing to use the "ring free" additive more. The additive is very expensive so I probably was spending the same or more using...
