I admit up front to my bias, I am a Bass Cat FTD owner. :D First of all the Puma and the FTD will be very different because of the motors rigged on them and they each have their own appeal (or not) So I think the discussion should to an extent be about the motor choice (Verado vs. 2 stroke) but If y...

StogieMan

Well I was not aware of the Cuccia B & B,

sounds great! But I always make a point of telling him (and others who give to our sport) a thank you from time to time.

StogieMan

Do a google search. What your looking for is sold by Texas Tackle, they are the best!

StogieMan

I have no experience with Optima but so many people here recommend them that they will be next on my list. What I won't buy again are TROJAN! I bought 3 of the best deep cycle they sell, these are group 31 and are $160.00 each. Problem is one of them just took a crap and they said I was out of warra...

A big man with a big heart, gonna miss him.
God speed Bob.

I am preparing for a tournament season on the Delta, starts in a few weeks. I have been very pleased with the Carbon Pro so I probably should stick with it. But when my line would get more memory that I liked it got changed, even though it was still good. So I thought the new Invizx may give me long...

StogieMan

I would not be using test that light, it would be the 12 or 15 pound on baitcasting rigs. Answer me this, I am not concerned about how limp it is or the amount of memory it develops rather the sensitivity and stretch, is it as sensitive as the regular and does it have virtualy no stretch?

StogieMan

I have been a big fan of the regular Seguar "Carbon Pro" line and I am ready to buy a new 1,000 yrd spool, so I was looking for someone who could compare the two? If not I will just buy the regular stuff.

StogieMan

What has been said here by all is true, a great place! But, having said that i have not been there for a few years and I heard Raul and Penny (two of the nicest people) had sold the joint, anyone know for sure?

StogieMan

Smileee..sorry to hear about the health related issues and I hope all goes well. If I were in that situation I would prep the boat for long term storage and concentrate on getting well, plus there is no reason you could not check on the boat every once in a while. Let me know if you need any help, I...

StogieMan

or can someone local do a repair. I have several rods (loomis) that
I broke an eye off of, not a tip but an eye. I know I could ship them back to Loomis but is there a cheaper way to go. If not, why not?

StogieMan

please explain the Delta tides, specifically how to fish areas with current. I assume you choose a spot to fish based on a number of factors and current flow is probably one of those factors.

StogieMan

the club is headed to McClure at months end (yes I found the lake :D) but this is a loooong haul. Please suggest a place to stay, Oakdale came to mind but maybe there is something closer and it needs to be Bass Boat safe. I did call and speak to the house boat rental person at McClure about one nigh...

StogieMan

this is a good move for the Hook and should get you a ton of exposure. I will stop by and buy something

StogieMan

I have not been there for 2 or more years. Seems I remember the best way to go from the east bay is go through Manteca on out to Oakdale, then just like I was headed to Don Pedro but a little further.

The Map quest tells me to go through Modesto? which I never remember doing.

Thanks

StogieMan

I should know about. This will be my first trip there in over 2 years so please feel free to make any general or specific comments.
Thanks

StogieMan

My club is fishing our first event of the year at McClure and I am concerned about the drive, it's long. Do you know if there are houseboats rentals for anglers, who to contact etc...

StogieMan

Tobe I feel your pain regarding the loss of your glasses, I agree the manufacturer should use a better adhesive on the ear peice. Here is an "off the wall" idea, write an email to Skeet Reese asking for his help, you never know? This won't help you now but in the future consider using a &q...

Just goes to show you things are not always as they appear. StogieMan.

StogieMan

Great! not only can I not catch those rascalls I can't spell either, Geez!

StogieMan

I hate to say this on a public board but the last time I was out, last Sat, I did not get a single bite all day.

Not to be discouraged I am out again tomorrow and obviously could use tips general or otherwise on catching those tuxedo fisk

StogieMan

be out? I refer to Mark lasagne or other and where can I buy one? thanks.

StogieMan

I recognize that any transition is not without problems, I did not want to be perceived as one of those problems. When a business changes hands there is no way to avoid issues particularly when the change in ownership occurs under less than ideal conditions. The fact that Gary Estes left came as a c...

StogieMan

I was FINALLY

able to reach someone in management and my rod issue was resolved. Kudos to the shop for taking care of business and doing the right thing.

StogieMan

Here are the details...bought a St. Croix from XYZ Tackle some time ago and enjoy the rod but, I recently broke it. So I go down to the shop with the broken rod for a warranty exchange but there are none in stock, no problem. Warranty paperwork gets filled out, (i get a copy) i give up the rod and m...

StogieMan

Randy...most boat shops (authorized repair shops) have a prop demo program. I take my boat to Boat Masters in Dublin and have used several props (merc) as demo's. They are painted bright blue but otherwise they are the same as new. Call your local Evinrude shop and ask them if they have a demo progr...

StogieMan

I may not have made myself clear, I am part of a club now and we(the club) want information about how to join the ferderation, what it costs, etc..

StogieMan

All...I am part of a small club looking to join the federation. Please comment to the pro's, con's and benifits of joining, plus the costs associated with membership....thanks

StogieMan

I want to contact the guy who has done reel repair for years out of the Hook, JD right?

StogieMan

Mike wrote:WOW! I guess the "Rumors" are true. Congrats Gene.

Hey Mike...not sure what you mean by the "Rumors" being true since there was an announcement on this very site.

Gene good luck I am sure you will do an outstanding job. Keep the coffee hot!

StogieMan

I have had outstanding customer service and support from the folks at XTool, consider this before you make a decision. Regarding the clips, there is a right way and a wrong way to attach them to the fish, both in where to attach the clip and the way the clip needs to face. Very happy with my XTool s...

StogieMan

I know nothing about the line other than it is the most expensive I have seen, but you are a rep for the product are you not. It's great that you give us the NEWS but be up front about your motives.

StogieMan

Pulled 4 teams form the WON circuit this year, may even have have been 5 teams, yes that's 5 boats, 10 anglers. Had I known Gene was the new director I would have fished the 06 circuit with my buddies

. Good luck Gene.

StogieMan

who has a link to the A/C semi pro schedule, Delta circuit.

StogieMan

When I go to the link section I can't find the former listing of tournament orginazations

StogieMan

I did not fish the A/C circuit this year, but I fished it last year. This is my 4th year in a row fishing a team circuit with the same partner, we never dominated in fact we often struggled but we always have fun. :D The best overall results we have had is making the TOC each of the 4 years we compe...

StogieMan

Just went to the site and could not locate the results for the TOC up at Oroville last Saturday. If there is a special link I would appreciate a post...Thanks.

StogieMan

I won't use A-1 and no one I know will either!

StogieMan

Well I was there, plus we had 6 members from our club (Devil Mountain BassMasters) all qualify for the event. We had a great time! BUT... we have a great time no matter where we fish :D Yes there was some contraversy, dock talk was very negative about the scale issue on day one, in fact there were s...

StogieMan

Joe, unless you have the "key code" which came with the original purchases you will not be able to get a key from McGuard, at least I don't think so? Back in the day when i was in the tire business this was a common thing, lost key and in need of tires. Tool trucks sell removal kits (Matco...

StogieMan

Well actually that would be cool, my Mercury 250XB drinks like there's no tomorrow and premium to boot

so I could use a low cost rig.

StogieMan

"you will have the opportunity to fish for a fully rigged bass boat equipped with a Mercury 175hp Optimax motor (upgradeable), Lowrance electronics, and Trojan batteries. We are still negotiating with the boat manufacturer's as many recent changes have occurred within the industry. We will thou...

I have my TOC package that states the prize boat had yet to be deteremined, this was many weeks ago. I just surfed over the the WON site and can't find any current information about the prize boat. Does anyone know what boat/motor we are fishing for next week, not like I am going to win or anything ...
