Can't get enough True Bass or Fun Fishing! Repeats or otherwise.

I look forward to those shows..

I'd rather watch their repeats any day, any time, over the others.

Not complaining here and keep up the excellent work!!

Good luck!

BTW, I do support your sponsors.

It's obvious what's going on here: http://www.ppic.org/main/mapdetail.asp?i=855 It's about money, plain and simple. Don't believe for one minute that the Delta will be better off with a freakin canal. Like I said before, these people are on a mission, so get ready for some salt-water showers! Enjoy ...

One word: DESALINATION.

That should be the future but unfortunately, the current government can't see or lead that far (out).

What a waste....

Get ready to take salt-water showers! These people are on a mission.

I'd strongly suggest that you use a boca grip or similar tool. Those fishes mouths are slimy and if (when) you loose your grip by lipping them, you will get a hook(s) in the hand!

Or have a net ready.

Good luck!

For close to $130, you can get you a nice NEW POWELL and NOT worry about that type of BS.

Hope you get it worked out and good luck!

Why are you replacing with a 175 hp instead of a 200 hp?

Are the costs that much more?

gabuelhaj

I towed an 18 foot Ranger with a Ford Explorer and it was a slow death! Plus, I kept up on all maintenance which probably prolonged the sure death of towing, but not by much! Your 520 is a much heavier, and larger, rig than what I had. That vehicle will be overwhelmed by your 520 rig. I don't know h...

There are no tourneys on the delta.

In those types of conditions, I really think you should crank the big motor up and stow the TM to keep and maintain control of your boat until the waves pass. Then you can shut down the big motor and drop the TM to resume fishing. Fishing Franks Tract when those water skiers are out there circling a...

Just make them say "George Washington" 3 times without smiling!

Pretty effective.....

Glad to hear it all got worked out....

gabuelhaj

I prefer the sugoi's because it has a better bend near the eye to keep the bait from sliding down. I also like the way the hook point is bent a little towards the bait/shank for better skin hooking rigging and this helps it being more weedless. I wasn't able to find any gamma's with those 2 characte...

You are at the pverty level if you are only making six figures. Heck, people with 7 figure incomes are having a tough time!

As a non-boater, you can rent a local boat for what, $75 a day now?

Seems $40 is a little short....

Your tilt tube is full of crud and rust. Disconnect your cable from the tilt tube completely or as much as you can. Get your shot gun cleaning kit and put on the wire brush cylinder. Then use this to clean the bore of the tilt tube. Clean as much of the tube as you can. Then put the rod back in and ...

I'd be more than happy to delete this post. But, I live here too and notice that I witnessed the department working a speed trap south of the 120 instead of patolling the area(s) for suspicious activities. I would like it known what (more) serious crimes they are working on to prevent them to patrol...

First off, to make this fishing related, this is 1 block away from the new Bass Pro Shops being built in Manteca..... Check out this link: http://cbs13.com/video/?id=29041@kovr.dayport.com I drove home yesterday and noticed a speed trap that was being worked by these guys on Woodward Avenue. This mu...

Seems like idling 300 yards in a no wake zone will be plenty long enough to warm it up.

Cabelas has the Abu Revo SC in 7:1 for $139.

Check it out.

Good luck!

Where did Escalon Bait and Tackle move to? I drove by there and their old place looked like it was empty and up for lease? I didn't see anything saying that they moved?

Thanks!

If all you're getting is 4000 RPM's, then something is wrong. You are missing 1500 RPM's!! Don't think a slipped JP will cause this. You need to get it checked before you lean it too much and then kaboom! First, verify your linkage and make sure your butterflies open up all the way at WOT, then do a...

I don't know anything about the FLW but Kaiser Permanente used to have what they called a "steps plan" in that you can get thier coverage based on your salary (good if you're self employeed and can show a low salary). You will start out at a low premium and will gradually (step) increase a...

gabuelhaj

Vince, An option is you can ask to leave your boat at the dealership lot while it is for sale. You can borrow from a bank, tax return, or savings account the amount you think you will get from that sale. When you do sell, then just pay off that "loan". This will free up your garage for the...

I've seen new Revo's on eBay for $87. So, it's going to be more than $20 bucks per reel in price difference, closer to $40.

For $87, heck even for $99, you can't find a better reel! And, outstanding customer support to back them up to boot!

Good luck!

This should be in the politickle forum. :arrow: Then again, SOMETIMES NON FISHING NEEDS TO BE POSTED. But anyway, 9/11 has nothing to do with the Iraqi war. And, Iraq was better off with Sadam in power before the Americans invaded and made it worse. Those so-called Iraqi terrorists were spawned AFTE...

I'd just have a re-seal job done and fill it with lube. It won't be neccessary to have it rebuilt, unless you see large chunks of metal on your drain plug. You (we all) need to check the shafts everytime we put the boat back in the garage! And, I pull the plug every 3 trips to check for water. If no...

At the end of the day, I'd rather have no money....

gabuelhaj

I would strongly recommend the Revo's. For 100 bucks, you can't find a better reel. Well, low profile ones anyway.... I have several for almost 2 years now and they don't miss a beat. Really strong drag too, and has a high speed retrieve. I'd wait on the other brands new models to see how they hold ...

Go get a strip of carpet protector at Home Depot. May be cheaper and gets the job done.

Good luck!

gabuelhaj

Trust me, use the socks! Not only you can fit more in the locker, you'll also protect them too!

gabuelhaj

Put the RI Beaver (or equivalent) on the list. Split the tails, dead stick it, twitch it, make it clap to trigger the bites!

gabuelhaj

Where did they move to?

gabuelhaj

Cooch et al, I vote to keep the smaller hook on the 3/8oz jig. This is a perfect size to use the smallie beaver and similar sized trailers with. Any hook size bigger than that will have us using a bigger trailer like the 4.20 beaver. I use the 1/2oz when I want to use the 4.20. Any way you can offer...

gabuelhaj

Which ever one you get, make sure the hull is at the proper temperature. Too cold and it won't stick. It's all in the instructions.

Also, I think the the Hamby's light is a little thicker. Plus, it looks better!

Good luck!

gabuelhaj

Manteca City Council will screw you. They raised the sales tax here by .5 percent so that they can hire more police and firefighters. They turned around and paid Costco 3 million to have them build a store here. Where do you think Manteca got this 3 million from? That's right, the tax increase that ...

gabuelhaj

congrats on that combo! That's an excellent rig (choice) for covering many, many applications. It won't be long before you're looking at getting your next one!

I'd take them to small claims court. Then, get the debit dropped from your account. Then file a complaint with the BBB.

Good luck!

gabuelhaj

Don't worry, the boat market will follow the housing market real soon. Except for the high-end which is out of our league anyway.

And, every single person that I knew who left California, came back to California!

Good luck!

gabuelhaj

What they need to do is turn that farm road into a hiway. Calling it a hiway in its current form is inaccurate and mis-leading.

Good luck!

gabuelhaj

Mossdale won't touch Yamaha's. I already asked and they flat out said NO! You can try Bob's Marine in Modesto, they work on Yamaha's.

Good luck!

gabuelhaj

I would give the new REVO a try as their drag is an impressive 20+ pounds!

Good luck!

gabuelhaj

What about the trailer? I personally wouldn't buy any boat that only offered a tubular trailer frame, galvanized or not. The Ranger trailer and the Bass Cat trailer are the only ones that I know of who offer the I beam trailer frame, which is what you want.

Good luck!

gabuelhaj

Those cracks aren't nothing related to the structural integrity of the top cap. You can use those cracks as a bargaining chip when negotiating the price though but cracks in gel coat is a common occurrance.

Good luck!

gabuelhaj

Thanks guys. NAPA here can order them.....

gabuelhaj

Looking around here and can't find a place to buy them. Anyone know on where to get Speedi-sleeves or equivalent?

Thanks and good luck!

Glenn

gabuelhaj

You wont need to replace the prop shaft, just put a speedy sleeve on it. And, I think you have two seals there, not just one. But I'd do a pressure test and if it holds 14 lbs for 10 minutes, you're good to go!

Good luck!

gabuelhaj

Thanks a bunch guys. Yeah, performance is not being impacted but the noise is a conversation piece to say the least!

Good luck and THANKS!!

Sorry, It's a 1999 GMC Suburban with the 5.7 V-8. You think it's related to the air bag or something? I know it's not the power steering pump and am sure it's coming from the column. I don't notice any mechanical malfunctions/skips, just the noise like a cow mooing and/or groan type noise. Only happ...
