Try hand warmers from Hothands.com. They work, and they're cheap..$1 a trip.

Rick,
Living here in Ca., I would have been worried that they were calling to say you infringed on their name/concept, and that they were sueing you.

Great tie-in. Congratulations.

A battery dealer told me that each time you let a battery run down to dead, and then recharge it, you lose 50% of it's capacity. I don't know if that's accurate, but it seems like it wouldn't take long to have no capacity at all. I upgraded to Optima blue tops, which are spiral wraps and require no ...

John, Our club has used both the plastic basket, and a designated weigh-in bag. We found the bag does settle the fish faster, and there is less chance of one flipping out during the transfer. We put the bag back on the scale and zero each time, to compensate for any water that might remain from the ...

If you go to Daiwa.com they have a button on the left side of their top banner for warranty.
They have a list of authorized service centers in CA., and a phone number if you want to talk to a reel (

) person.

mark poulson

I think Daiwa has a place down in Irvine, in Orange County. You could contact them, and see what they recommend.

Actually, I heard when the Dobyns prostaff catalog came out, he picked up a new non-endemic sponsor, the American Kennal Club.

Bassbones, I didn't think you're a PETA'r for a minute. I was just venting. Frustrating when you have a small minority terrorizing the decent majority. Like in the '50's, with Joe McCarthy and his Senate commitee. The problem with PETA people is that they're so emotionally involved they can't be obj...

mark poulson

Bassbones, It's kind of screwed, but, in real life, we all have to make choices sometimes that we're forced into. The lesser of two evils. Like that movie, Sophie's Choice. I buy rods that are made in China, even though I don't agree with how the govt. treats it's own people. I'm very short sighted ...

He dragged the country into the rock and roll era, whether they liked it or not. He was the KING./
"Thank you very much".

At least as far as PETA people are concerned. Don't get me wrong. I don't mistreat people or animals. I do eat other living things. I kill them first. Not for the sport of killing, but because it's really cruel to eat something that's still alive. After all, everything eats something else, whether i...

Mike Lander and his youger son look like they're up to no good!
Garrett looks like he's sweating bullets. It's tough to be 16.

I think they call it projection, when people put their own motives and reactions onto someone else's actions. In this case, they feel pain, so they assume fish do, too. If it's just that they don't want to "hurt" any of Mother Nature's creations, remind them that she also made the coffee b...

mark poulson

A great sponsor opportunity. Windex.

Jimmy,
Again, thanks for taking the time to explain the 987 to me at the Bass A Thon.
If I'm going to ugrade, do you recommend a 987 on the console, or the 787 on the bow with a trolling motor transducer. I can't afford both units (heck, I can't afford one

).

mark poulson

Use a fan to blow them away from you, and NEVER pour in the house. The garage or tool shed is okay, but be sure to have good ventilation. Lead fumes are bad news, especially for kids and pregnant women.

mark poulson

I used to pour my own sinkers for surf fishing, and used plumber's lead off the jobs I was working on. I imagine it's still available at a plumbing supply. It melts at a low temp., and was easy to pour, as I recall, but that was a looooong time ago.

Bass Pro usually has one of their rubber nets on sale pretty often. I've used one for several years now, and not lost a fish. And the crank hooks don't get caught in them. I love it for treble hooked fish that I don't want to swing, or fish on light line. I would try to borrow or check out someone e...

mark poulson

I'll drink to that!

From what I've read, the external antenna is being offered because the internal ones had poor reception. I don't know any of the specifics in terms of which units, and which antennas.
Email Linda Colt at Lowrance, and she'll answer all of your questions.

mark poulson

Check the Lowrance website. Look at their Enhanced maps, and see if they have the lakes you want.

Try the Kipawa prop. It's make with a really tough plastic, I don't know what, that stands up to gravel, brush, tullies, whatever. You lose a little top end with it, but it gets you into places you'd never go with a stock prop. Night and day difference. I have the MG 82 also, and would never change ...

I spoke to Jimmy Reese at the Bass A Thon this last Sunday about his 987. He says it's just unbelievable, both shallow and deep. He swears by it, and told all of us about how much hidden stuff he found with it, including two trailers in Clear Lake.
I'm clipping my coupons.

mark poulson

Jonathan, One thing I've noticed about flouro over the three years I've been using it is that it transmits strikes on a slack line, like when I'm letting a jig or Ika just sit, or dead sticking a Senko. Braid is so limp that, if it's slack at all, you lose all contact with your lure until the fish p...

mark poulson

Yeah, I think you're right about the winner. His wife was in tears, and he has a young boy. He was the biggest guy up there, and he just lay in the weeds 'till the end. And bag #1 had the boat. I wonder if Cindy knew.

mark poulson

Kelly,
What about the "circut board" stuff? I thought no crankbait would work now without it.

I'm going to try your plexi glass deal on a Poe's with a broken bill.
Do you recommend regular plexi, or Lexan?

mark poulson

Maybe that's just the site Moderators at work.

I guess. Never dreamed a "little" car like that could do it.

Check out Lowrance's own Enhanced Map Chip. Whichever one your unit can use.

I just got back from the Bass A Thon, and it was the best. Again. I think passion must be the driving force for the Bass A Thon. Otherwise, how do you explain an obviously successful business man like Rick Grover and his wife, Cindy, busting their humps to put on such a great show. They could make a...

mark poulson

Amazing that it is heavy enough to have enough traction to pull the boat back out.
How was the wind at Castaic?

mark poulson

I only throw blades on 50lb braid (thank you Gerry) because I love how indestructable it is in brush and crap. What weight flouro do you use for your blades? I use the same setup for blades and chatterbaits.

mark poulson

stevey,
Does that mean that the side imaging is really for shallow water? The demos show deep, too.

mark poulson

I'm waiting ro Rejuevenade to come out with their version of Beano, so the fish won't have gas at all.

mark poulson

That sounds too good. I'll try it, for sure.
And congratulations on your tournament win.

mark poulson

Ronaldo,
I didn't say you did.
All I said was I didn't think Dave needed a secret weapon, like the new Revenge light wire. It was supposed to be a two thousand mile tease. After all, he's not here to tease any more. Now you, on the other hand, are.

mark poulson

This is more a general question. The thing about short hits is, if they are really just nipping and missing totally, how would you know if you don't use a trailer hook? How many fish have I missed over the years? Dammmmm!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I use a trailer with a buzzbait, but not with a spinnerb...

mark poulson

Hey, Dave, just funnin'. Hope eveything back there is good. Maybe the Dawgs and the Bruins will meet in the Ho Hum bowl or something. Despite what Mr. C. says, I have every confidence in your ability to fool those GA bass. Shucks, giving you the new Revenge blades is probably an unfair advantage. :l...

mark poulson

Sounds good. Thanks

Ron T.
Are the baits to be sold at the Bass A Thon the corrected versions, or will they need the excellerator and glue treatment?

mark poulson

Which Diawas?

mark poulson

Gator,
Call C-Bone. If he does this for a living, he's the guy to talk to.

mark poulson

Dave,
All we hear out here is that those Southern bass are dumb, and you can catch them on anything.
Do you mean you actually have to work to catch fish back there?

mark poulson

Your Taurus is too light, underpowered, and has front wheel drive.
Won't do the job. We've all seen small pickups trying to pull boat out and spinning their wheels.
Don't try it unless you have someone with a real tow vehicle handy to help pull out both your boat and your car.

mark poulson

Naw.....it just puts a crimp in their love life for a while. Think of it as a tongue stud.
