I’ve had good luck with American brand batteries, both cranking and deep cycle. They are built in Hayward and are sold at Boatmasters in Livermore.

Seems like I heard there are security issues with Ladds? In reality I think there are security issues pretty much everywhere on the Delta.

Be careful on that ramp very shallow I Jacked a prop on it mostly due to my own ignorance. Generally speaking I like Tiki Lagun and it’s truly the least expensive gas on the Delta. However, late last season I heard rumors of water in their gas, so I decided to do my annual end of year fill up over a...

Where on the picture provided is E15 shown?

monte300

are E85 and E15 one in the same?

Not to mention all those trout carcasses strewn all over some guys memorial bench!

Not sure where you are located but Fresno has Graves Upholstery...done several cars for me and recarpeted my Ranger 519 about 6 mos ago for $1100. Labor and materials (marine grade carpet) They had it 4 days. THAT right there is a SMOKIN' DEAL! Wholesale labor via Sacto dealers is more than that! L...

Would also be cool to know if river fish travel any further or less away from the weigh-in site as their lake brethren?

monte300

Are Tiki's tanks above or below ground? Usually storage tanks above ground don't get contaminated with water. I would rather get gas at a place that sells a lot of gas then one that doesn't. If Tiki sells more then the other places I would get it there. Buy a gallon of gas from Tiki and fill up a c...

I recommend trailering the boat to a local gas station. Also, you shouldn’t need to winterize your boat in California... My boat sits idle for four months of the year which is why I fill it up before storing. In 18 years I've never had a fuel related problem. I don't like it always being full of ga...

monte300

Hey folks awhile back I was bragging about the gas prices over at Tiki Lagun. Sunday before I filled up my boat tank in order to winterize my boat I heard from a couple of really reliable sources that people have been complaining about water in the fuel coming from Tiki Lagun's pumps. I personally h...

Nice comeback by Rooks following a crappy day of topwater on day one. I didn't think he would overcome that.

monte300

In all seriousness I only get to fish for about 5 hours every two weeks and I'm in the last 3 1/2 years of a job I'm not that crazy about, thank God retirement is right around the corner. Getting to see these videos brightens my day, for sure.

monte300

I think I see the source of the one "not like" on all your videos, Caleb

monte300

Most of us are stuck at work and enjoy the videos

I called Tiki once before about this and the girl that answered was clueless to what I was talking about. Tiki Lagun claims to have the least expensive gas on the Delta and I believe it. Gas there is only slightly more expensive than at your local gas station and sometimes even less expensive.

monte300

Will on the water gas stations like Tiki Lagun and Bullfrog Landing be able to get and sell non E15 fuel?

As a 25 year customer of Boatmasters, on the rare occasion they screw up they always own it and make things right.

monte300

Great looking boat and you are dealing with the right guys at Boatmasters. They understand that fishermen need their boats and they bend over backwards to get you on the water pronto, especially if you're a tournament angler.

monte300

Way back in the day I used to take my 8 year old daughter fishing on the Delta and I found it necessary to put a revolver under my boat seat. I only did it a few times and mainly because we were arriving so early in the morning, in the dark at the launch ramp. I remember getting nervous on some fogg...

Whatever the criteria is for invitation, studs like Scott Martin and Bryan Thrift are not invited?

monte300

Besides all that, what's not to like about Shelly Sanders?

monte300

I wonder if winning the Classic will still mean a million plus payoff?

monte300

I'm not trying to be funny but BASS should give serious consideration to changing the name "Elites" to something else.

I'll be shocked if KVD chooses Elite over MLF. However, if he has his sights set on a fifth Bassmasters Classic he will stay. With all the big names leaving BASS a fifth Bassmasters Classic title might require an asterisk next to it.

GMan - Gerald Swindle - just announced his move into MLF

When will KVD make his announcement?

All three have been very successful with MLF so far and the format really fits Martens and KVD's styles.

monte300

I just realized that with the addition of MLF that will allow lower level tournament anglers to move up in the ranks and achieve their dreams. My guess is some guys move from FLW into the Elite circuit and other guys move up into FLW. I can see a guy like Bryan Thrift become even more dominant in FL...

Will losing all these great anglers to BPT/MLF water down the accomplishments called the Bassmasters Classic and the Forrest Wood Cup?

I owned other brands and have fished out of almost everything else before I bought a Bass Cat. They are built like tanks and finished extremely well. Fast but still a real soft ride. Great trailers too. I believe they are still the only company with a lifetime transferable hull warranty. I really l...

I love watching Major League Fishing. It's the most intense competition I've ever witnessed. If you're not familiar with it every fish is weighed and released immediately and every fisherman knows the exact weight that all other fishermen have in the event in real time. On top of that where they are...

I was at Boatmasters in Livermore the other day purchasing some bulk two cycle oil. While I was there I couldn't resist the temptation to go into the showroom and much to my delight there are three different Bass Cat rigs currently there. One of the owners told me they can hardly keep them in stock ...

I'm sure it's more technical than that, but that's how it was explained to me.

monte300

My outboard mechanic told me that as gas constantly changes, it causes our outboards to run hotter and hotter. He says to me to do my part and run the highest octane fuel I can because it burns cooler.

monte300

I was there the other day and I didn’t see the cement truck. However, it looks to me like they’re building a new bridge to replace the cable ferry in that same area.

monte300

Bottom line for a fun day on the water with no tournament involved, if you're a guest offer to bring something like lunch and/or drinks or share the cost of expenses if you want to be invited back again. If you're a boater and have any expectations make sure they are known prior to going out.

I have been storing my boat at Whiskey Slough for 6 or 7 years now and have been leaving my boat out after hours the night before I fish the entire time. I have been very lucky to not have my boat stolen and it could have something to do with outdated electronics, aka nobody wants my stuff. :D I wil...

monte300

My feelings are the guest should pay at least half the gas and half the launch fee. I can tell you two cycle oil aint cheap and guess who get's to pay when things break? When I fish with my big brother he brings lunch, I bring drinks and sometimes he helps with gas. To me time spent with family is f...

Ok I was able to contact the shop that had done work on the boat in the past and they were able to provide the serial number for my motor. It is 1E001941 and once again it is a 250 Mercury Optimax Pro XS... Thank you everyone for the kind words and Monte my other boat is a 97 Ranger 519 SVS and if ...

What brand was your old boat and what did it look like? I keep my bass boat at Whiskey Slough and used to have it launched the night before and tied to the dock. On a few occasions I saw another bass boat tied to the dock like mine. Your experience and that of the man with the stolen Phoenix has me ...

Im going to be buying a new truck in the near future. Ugh! I will be towing a 21 foot bass boat. I am considering a Dodge truck but have never owned one. I don't need top of the line, just a good solid reliable 4X4 extended cab. I see a lot of boaters with Dodge trucks and was hoping for some input...

Done! Let's fight for OUR river. The first number on the list actually had a live person answering at 7:30AM.

for those that don't already know the tide basically repeats itself every two weeks, plus or minus an hour or so. Most times I'm only able to fish every two weeks, so if I get on a good bite on a good tide I try to repeat two weeks later. Just wondering....taking the tide out of the equation, what ...

what's everyone using for tying lures with fluorocarbon line. I grew up with the Palomar but have notice when I break off a lure it looks like the knot failed and not the line. I tie it correctly and don't burn my line. I've heard of this happening and thinking it time for a change. The Palomar is ...

Hey there guys, What’s your main piece of info you look into before hitting the water... example some guys look at Weather, Tide , moon phase , barometer...Or do you just go fish the moment with confidence..... To me it depends on how you want to fish. I like to crank, so I typically target the hig...
