Yes thank god for all those involved but let's not forget to praise the individuals for wearing their life jackets. Because of those life jackets they are with their families today.

Simms!!! It's worth every penny. Will outlast any other rain gear that is out there and is extremely comfortable to fish in.

Guys, there is definitely been some confusion related to the Bass Cat Owners Tournament. Please see the announcement below which will explain what is going on. The Boatmasters website has the correct flier, announcement and signup forms posted but the times in the text are being corrected. Any quest...

I put it on my Minn Kota 101 and it works great.

tfranceschi

Keep in mind Bass Cat owners, that the winners of this event will be invited back to Mountain Home, Ark. to compete for the Bass Cat Championship and a trip to Brazil to fish for Peacock Bass with Rick Pierce! Last year the Rossetti's won the event on the Delta and went back to Mountain Home where t...

X2 on Boatmasters in Livermore. They do great work and they are great guys to work with!

"Both motors are sold pending payment.... thank you" I have two Minn Kota 101 motors for sale, a Maxxum and a Maxxum Pro. Both motors have been sitting around my garage for the last 3 years. Both came off my boat in good working order. I have kept them around as back up trolling motors but...

Grnbasser I can get you out on the water in a Bass Cat as well if you are interested. Feel free to contact me by PM. I would be happy to give you any and all information that you need. I am located in Livermore, just a hop, skip and a jump from Union City, so it would be easy to get you out on the D...

Guys, you don't want to miss this seminar with Rod. He has quietly been placing in the top of the standings this year and is not only a solid fisherman but one of the nicest guys you will ever meet in the sport! Do yourself a favor and go see him present... you will not be disappointed.

tfranceschi

Don, I will miss you, as will many others. I can't tell you how Don helped me over the years. Thank you was never enough and I hope he knew how greatful I was for anything he ever did and how much respect I had for him. When he cared about you you knew it. Great man, great friend, great memories. My...

tfranceschi

My prayers go out to both Don and Pat. I'm thinking of the both of you.

tfranceschi

Not only was Sonny a great TD he was also a first class person and I was proud to call him a friend. Sonny, you will be remembered fondly. Thank you for all you did for us in the west. My prayers and thoughts to you and your family and friends.

tfranceschi

My prayers are with you Don! Anything you need just let me know.

Well, the last trip to b zone for us was a bust. We only saw 5 animals, one being a buck. Unfortunately the buck was 1,000 yards away and by the time we got to a place that would have given us a shot at him he was gone and we were never able to relocate him. Other than that, a good time with family!...

tfranceschi

Great man, great friend! I will miss him but I wont forget him!

tfranceschi

I hear ya. God luck and let me know how you do on public land. Unfortunately, public land is an uphill battle when it comes to pig hunting. Hope you find a honey hole. Keep us posted.

tfranceschi

heading out to B zone for the last time this season. Going to try to help my dad and brother-in-law get their deer. Anyone else heading out this weekend or next? Lets hear how you do. I will follow up with our results when I get back. Good luck to all.

tfranceschi

There are plenty of good private lands for pigs but it will cost you unless you know someone. If you find a good public land area let me know. About the best I know of right now is Lake Sonoma and that wont open until late November, and it is archery only. Good luck with that second B tag of yours. ...

tfranceschi

This year I am staying in California. I have hunted Blacktails, Pigs. I will be hunting ducks and geese as well as quail. I may go to Arizona in January to hunt Mule deer during their late archery season. So far I have taken a boar and a modest blacktail buck. Looking forward to seeing what the wate...

I agree, any color works well, though I am partial to White, Delta shiner, cht shad and bluegill myself. Throw it and hang on.

My favorite Flippin' Jig for the Delta is "Gann's 6.0". You should really take a look at this jig if you want quality and funtion. Cone shaped head comes through weeds great, stout 6/0 Gami hook, hand tied skirts in just about every color you can think of! You'd be doing yourself a dis-ser...

tfranceschi

You will not find a more stand up guy than Greg in the business. Not only can he fish but he is about the nicest person you will ever meet. A true ambassador of the sport and a great role model for any fisherperson. Catch his seminar if you can, you will not be disappointed.

3- Curado CU 200's 2- Citica CI 200's 3- Bantam Castaic 200's All reels have cosmetic imperfections (they are well used), but all reels are in good condition. They have not been used for several years and could use some lubricating, but the are mechanically sound. Curados- $30 each + shipping Citica...

Gary is on the mark here guys. These organizations definitely need our support in order to grow and offer the paybacks that everyone is looking for. More important than that, I love to fish and I love the competition. We have less opportunity today to compete in a Pro Am level event than we did 10 y...

tfranceschi

Gann's all the way. Great head designs for whatever type of structure/cover you are fishing. A quality hook that takes a bite, holds on and stands up to hauling big fish out of the heaviest stuff. Great color combinations and an exceptional trailer keeper. I use plastic trailers on my jigs no matter...

tfranceschi

I just read the Spinnerbait review. Great article, very informative! It's nice to see someone break the baits down and give an unbiased review. It's also nice to see my favorite come out on top!!!

tfranceschi

You have a PM

tfranceschi

This is an awesome bait. It can be used as a wakebait or sub surface, depends on the day and what the fish want. After getting this bait I caught three fish over 10 lbs in my first four trips out with it.

Contact BlackDog and I'm sure they will hook you up.

tfranceschi

I would recommend looking at the Humminbird units as well. Depending on what you want and what size screen you are looking for I would recommend looking at the 700 series and the 900 series. You can get the 788c Combo which is a color unit with GPS or the 798ci combo which has side imaging as well (...

Any shops in Nor Cal have these in stock? I am looking for 2 of them and everyone seems to be out.

tfranceschi

Now Kent, I may be coming in a little late on this one, but at least Gary learns from his mistakes. He hasn't made the same one twce. You, on the other hand, hell I remember a day when you fell out of the boat, what was it, two... maybe three times? Since I've known you I'd have to use a calculater ...

tfranceschi

That is a terrible analogy Ken. The Dealer where you bought your vehicle has a vested interest in contacting the manufacturer because they are the one doing the work and they will want to be paid. A tackle shop is not doing waranty work or getting paid for it, no vested interest. I'll bet if you had...

tfranceschi

When will the CI4 be in the stores?

tfranceschi

I am not sponsored by Black Dog Bait Co. either... so take it for what it is worth... the Go 2 Minnow has caught alot of fish for me on many different bodies of water.

tfranceschi

I agree with Mike on the Go-2- Minnow!! Awesome wake bait that has put some quality fish in the boat. I like the Cht. Shad color also.

tfranceschi

Mike, thank you for letting all my friends in the fishing community know abnout our daughter.

Thank you to all that have sent their wishes and kind words. My wife and I are excited and looking forward to this new chapter in our lives.

This is a great opportunity everyone. The one thing that I beleive is under utilized by fishermen is their electronics, and I beleive it is because most don't fully understand them. This class is great for the beginner or the long time fisherman, to help them understand how to better use the equipme...

tfranceschi

I vote for Monday through Friday off limits. No pre-fish.

tfranceschi

I also wear the Green Mirror 580 lenses in the Man O War frames. The Green Mirror seem to work best for me and the 580 lenses are the best damn glass you can ask for. You will never go wrong with Costa Del Mar.

tfranceschi

With this kind of payout and the implementation of an Angler's Advisory board, Angler's Choice is taking steps in the right direction. We need a strong weekend/working man's organization in the West and this look like it is shaping up to be that.

Thank you for the info Gary, you can count me in!

tfranceschi

Ask and you shall receive. Tom, get well soon my friend. We are all thinking about you.

tfranceschi

Go to Capital City Marine. Mike will take care of you.

tfranceschi

Our thoughts are with you and your family Gary. We wish you the very best in these difficult times.
