The Hook Line & Sinker 2nd Tournament of this season will be out of Russo's, at Bethel Island, this Sunday (October 7th). This is a great team tournament at a low cost with hot dogs and chips after your weighin. Come on down for a great day.

WackySenko

Hopefully mine will come out the easy way, but I am sure that one is factory installed for the flaher unit that was still in the dash when I bought the boat.
Thanks

WackySenko

I have a used 1988 Ranger 373V that I am cleaning up. There are a couple old transducer pucks epoxied to the hull in the bilge.
What is the best way to remove these or should I just cut the wires off ?

Thank You

WackySenko

I think that Future Pro Tour had a tournament at Oroville on 9/29 for the Northern Division.
I have not see any results on this website or the www.futureprotour.net site yet. Vince usually has it up on www.futureprotour.net on Wednesday after the tournament.

WackySenko

What brand and boat size are the trailor fenders for ?

What are the dimensions of the bait tanks ?
Thank You for the info.

WackySenko

Thanks for the reply. But I have a quesion.
I thought of that but was worried that the Gorilla Glue would change the buoyancy. I am very happy with the lure and do not want the action to change. It will slowly float up when you stop reeling. I do not want it to rise too fast.

WackySenko

I want my crankbait to be silent at times. The manufacturer does not offer it without rattles. Has anybody glued the rattles in place? This was my first thought but then I was worried that unless the BBs get glued properly that the lure would run untrue. I do not want to take the BBs out because tha...

Gene,

At the TOC last year you said that it was going to be a 5 fish limit this year and that the umbrella rig would be allowed.

Per the 2012 / 2013 Rules it states a 7 fish limit. Can you give me some clarification?

I will see you this Sunday, September 16th at Russo's.
Thank You
Mike

I use Folex. It is mainly used for spot carpet cleaning. But my Ranger does not have large areas of carpet. It is available at Home Depot in the cleaning product isle (they are the best price I have found). It is also available at Orchard Supply.

WackySenko

Grizzly Grip has colors available. It also comes in two textures: Fine or Coarse. FINE texture looks and feels like a orange peel would be good for feet and your knees BUT provides little for non slip. Coarse texture is not very soft on bare feet but will give you a good non slip finis Boat trailers...

Gene, The Hook and Russo's put on a great tournament series. $ 55 Entry $ 10 Option $ 5 Big Fish There is a raffle for the anglers 16 and under. One of the items has always been a rod. There are always hot dogs and chips at the weighins. Russo's is $ 10.00 to launch and they have the carts that brin...

WackySenko

I have never had it in a boat, just truck beds. Doesn't it get HOT ?

WackySenko

Triton Tr200
Thank you for the info. I will see about getting her one next weekend. I will warn her about the mercury.

WackySenko

I fish for black bass, practice catch and release, and launch at either Russo's or Orwood. My wife's friend has been bugging me, for quite while, to bring her a catfish. Does anybody have any tips on where, what rig and bait to use.
Thank You

WackySenko

When the lure gets snagged (and you did NOT set the hook) try using the bow and arrow technique to pop it loss. Let out about 3' of line and engage reel, if using a baitcaster put your thumb on the spool so that there is no overrun. Pull the line between the reel and the first line guide with the ha...

Since I might have confused you, here is a link to see a drawing. Remember that you might have to change the trolling motor receptacle.

WackySenko

I have a 1988 Ranger 373V with a Yamaha Pro V 150 and a 36 volt trolling motor. There is only room for three batteries.
I installed my 36 volt trolling motor this way 5 years ago and have not had a problem. You will need two jumpers.

WackySenko

The way that the boat numbers were assigned and that a number was randomly selected for the first boat to blastoff was perfect. If it is done in another manner you will have boaters playing the tides so that they get the maximum fishing time for the area or areas that they are going to fish. This wa...

WackySenko

x-24, I am sorry that things did not go as well as you think that they should have. Randy and crew put on a great tounament (as he and crew ALWAYS do)and it was ran very well. I hope that this style tournament continues. I do not think that you planned ahead very well and are blaming Randy and crew....

WackySenko

I have always cleaned my livewells with mild detergent, water, a sponge and rinsed throughly multiple times. I have not had fish die, so I think what I am doing is OK.
Does anybody have a better product?
Thank You

WackySenko

Skeet, as usual, was a class act on stage to. At one point he was asked a question and he stated that it was not about him it was about the anglers fishing the classic.

WackySenko

Sorry to hear that. Sonny ran some great tournaments out here. Our prayers are with him and Sharon. Thank you for the update Gene.

WackySenko

Mine is an older Ranger, 1988 373V, and has a dial knob at the dash.

WackySenko

I heard spinnerbaits, charteuse w/ alittle blue and gold / nickel blades and crankbaits in shad colors. Drop shot got some good fish also. Good Luck and be safe in the wind.

WackySenko

And that 40 + (7 fish limit) had the second big fish of the tournament at 10#+. The big fish was 12#+. The tournament also had limits of 32#+ and 34#+
Great job by all those guys

WackySenko

Anybody have a clue how the teams did today ? I think that they had 34 boats.

WackySenko

Anybody know of a place near Oakley, that I can get Drag Spring Washers (BNT0015) for a CU200 ?

WackySenko

Tony,

Thank you for the 1/2 boat. My grandsons are going to love coming over and playing on it. I hope that your family did not get too upset about dinner being a little late.

THANK YOU
Mike

WackySenko

Thank you for the reply. That is what I thought, because I have been running this battery setup for 6 years now. The only time I had my trolling motor go really SLOW was on the Delta with it being the third day of fishing a charge.

WackySenko

If it did not get picked up yet, I am in Antioch and will pick it up ANY time you want. My cell phone is 925-565-8967.

WackySenko

I am running a 36 volt trolling motor. My Ranger has room for 2 Group 29s and 1 Group 27. I get about 5 years out of my Everstarts. I am wondering if it matters if the Group 27 is in the middle or on an end.

WackySenko

Thank you for the updates Gene. We are keeping Don in our Prayers.

Thank you for the info. I will take him bass fishing and then head over to Holland and relax while we try to get him some cats.

WackySenko

I only fish for black bass and practice catch and release. But I have a friend that wants to go fishing with me. I know that he will want to take home a fish or two, and he likes cat fish. Anybody have willing to share any info. I plan to introduce him to bass fishing and would like to send him home...

WackySenko

Even a ticket for throwing trash into the lake would not stop him from throwing his tantrums, because they just happen in the heat of the moment. Tantrums should not be telecast and the event holder should discourage this type of thing. Kids watch this and think that it is OK to do it, NOT.

WackySenko

Do you have a lever or switch to move, so that water can come in or go out? That might be where the problem is.

WackySenko

If this is an area that you PLANNED to fish, not stopping just because they are there. What if you were realy nice and did them a favor. When they move to the next marker, move in, pickup the marker, motor over towards them (stay the proper distance away) and say here is the marker that you forgot (...

WackySenko

When mounting your new charger there are a few ways / places to do it. I took my charger out of my boat so that I would have more compartment room (it was in the starboard rear storage locker). I got a 7 pin automotive chassis connector. The female end is attached to wires, the same gauge as the cha...

WackySenko

Gene at the Hook is the closest one that I know of and he is only an 1-1/2 hour drive. Great work, good service and fast.

WackySenko

You can try goodboatgear.com. I think they only have 4 sizes but the prices might be better than West Marine. If you are near Sacramento, give Ship Wreck Marine, in Rancho Cordova, a call at 916-635-1945 or toll free at 877-647-0785. They have used parts, I do not know if they have access hatches.

WackySenko

Kent,
Thank you for all that you do for us. Congratulations !!
Just remember: THE SHOW MUST GO ON

I like the 222 in a 5" for Folsom.

I need to redo the dash of my bass boat. I would like to contact the person that was on here and said they build dash panels to specs. Contact me either on this site or via my Email: mashomestead@yahoo.com. Thank You

WackySenko

The ones that got spitout in my livewell in June were alittle bigger and much redder.
Sorry, but that is all the help I can give as I have not seen any ( or looked for any) my last three trips out.

WackySenko

Last weekend the Senko bite for me was with red ones
Today it was watermelon with flake in the morning and junebug from 11:00 to 1:00.
Clearer water today in the same areas as last weekend.
