Re: Delta Launch Ramp for Memorial Day Weekend
Hi...Check out holland tract marina. Plenty of parking. Prior to storing my boat at Whiskey Slough I split time launching between Holland Riverside and Lazy M. Launching at low tide on Lazy M can be a little tricky, but not too bad. At all cost I would avoid Orwood on a holiday weekend unless bikin...

Re: California delta
Because of random underwater snags I don't recommend running around Franks Tract willy nilly. When you want to cross it simply pick a straight line and get across to other side. The worst day is when the wind is blowing directly from the north. I once busted a windshield on my boat on a north wind d...
Re: New boat
Supply and demand has new and used cars selling at an all time high price, boats are somehow different? I’m hoping sometime in the next year used truck prices will drop. Glad I’m not looking for a boat nonetheless

Re: Central Valley Evinrude Mechanics ?
Not exactly in the Central Valley but if you’re willing to drive to Boatmasters in Livermore I highly recommend them. They have worked on my Evinrude the past 22 years. They rebuilt my lower end a couple years ago and have always been competent with Evinrudes.

Re: When Florida strains are stocked
I don’t believe pure FLMB can survive in Grand Lake OK. Texas raised FLMB F1’s that are acclaimed to colder water would be a better choice imo. Reason is core body temperatures less then 45 degrees results in poor survival rates. Tom Are most Delta bass F1’s? I caught a 7-7 on the Delta about 25 ye...

Re: New boat
I agree that now is a great time to sell a boat. However, unless you're getting completely out of fishing buying a new boat to replace it is super expensive. The whole scene makes me want to keep and continue to maintain my 22 year old boat.

I would say a minimum of 36 volts and even that will probably leave you frustrated in Delta winds. Is there a scenario where you drag your bass boat behind a pontoon boat and do your fishing from the bass boat?
