Good job, how was it launching the boat there, we saw something indicating all launches are closed.

marinerfandave

What is your asking price?

marinerfandave

Congrats DT, well deserved!!

marinerfandave

And your location please...

marinerfandave

I recall that about the gas tanks from prior posts about Glory Hole closing. For the owners, they have no financial incentive to spend the extra $$$ and get the tanks replaced because, while they may ask for higher lease income from the tenant i.e. Glory Hole, the store operator does not see any add...

marinerfandave

I will be very curious what the Pinnell's intend to do with the property, I would think that certainly some income from a lower lease rate would be more beneficial than having no tenants at all (unless they already have a new tenant lined up at the higher rate, but I suspect not). Regardless, the co...

In my earlier post, I never indicated that I don't feel safe there, I do. But I don't enjoy seeing the devastating effects that meth has had on some people up there and the fact it is clearly visible out in the community i.e. "the zombies" walking around, open air drug deals, pan handling,...

marinerfandave

100% right, Fosters Freeze is one of the highlights up at Clear Lake.

marinerfandave

P.S. to 185vsfrog, looks like you are from Millbrae, hardly what I would call a Lake County local but if you enjoy going up to Clear Lake and all the top notch amenities the lake has to offer other than the fishing, have at it.

marinerfandave

Enjoy the shithole then, I'll catch my bass here at the Delta.

marinerfandave

From CSU Chris above comments/mine below this - Why i refuse to take the family to the shithole! Two homes on the water in Lucerne. Ill drive 4 hours to Trinity.. But you can go and experience homelessness, felons, Poverty stricken families, methadone clinics, poor mismanagement of funds, zero infra...

marinerfandave

I think the county should be held somewhat accountable, they are the ones requiring the property owner to have the old tanks removed, are the old tanks really leaching into the ground and causing contamination now? If so, they should know the property owner probably can't afford it. And certainly no...

marinerfandave

Thanks for the info, can you provide a little more detail on the # of hours on motor, type of trolling motor and what electronics are on the boat.

marinerfandave

Just unbelievable, I'd be smiling like that too! Might even consider "retiring" from bass fishing after a catch like that, everything else you catch after that is a dink by comparison and think of all the money you would save!

marinerfandave

What a great birthday present, couldn't do any better than that! CONGRATS!

marinerfandave

Murphy's Law - What can go wrong will go wrong.

marinerfandave

Ordered on Sunday and just received today, using the free delivery for > $50 order and using that lousy courier someone else referred to earlier. I'm pretty darn happy!

marinerfandave

As a kid he was my hero, that pre-Stabler team with Warren Wells, Jim Otto, Ben Davidson, Pete Banaszak, etc. Oh, and a coach named Madden.

marinerfandave

Congrats and that is just awesome! You are right though, he will be hooked and 30 years from now he can remind you this his net worth is short $50,000 + because of the bait monkey addiction he'll have like the rest of us

marinerfandave

Hey Bassmonkey, thanks for the video and keep after them, you'll get that big one eventually! It's just a numbers game as you know, don't dwell on those two that came off on your first day, it will just consume you, better to move forward!

marinerfandave

Update to my Monday post, received just now making this overnight service. I paid $1 extra for UPS, worth it!

marinerfandave

From Lake Oroville, double wow! Congrats!

marinerfandave

So here is a real time transaction with TW, I ordered some jigs this morning and received my order confirmation e-mail. Within the last 30 minutes I received another e-mail with the tracking # and "shipment is on its way". Not bad, all that within hours.

marinerfandave

Western Bass, what say you? It is still not working correctly.

marinerfandave

Can someone from Western Bass respond to this as I also miss this feature greatly.

marinerfandave

Good to hear, can you ask your friend to update his listing with the price and the location of the boat (I believe it is in the Hemet area down in So. CA)

marinerfandave

We're always hearing about scams on this forum and since this is your first post here, I suggest you update with $$$ price you are asking? Saying "DM for further details" is something most would avoid, just saying...my opinion.

marinerfandave

Exactly. Oh by the way, did you hear Nordstrom's is open for business, come on in and help yourself to whatever you don't feel like paying for! Without consequences, outrageous behavior will continue to happen.

marinerfandave

Keep in mind this guy was already on probation, and here is his penalty for getting caught, like this will really keep him from doing it again? - "he was ordered to pay $885 in fines and penalties, ordered to perform 30 days of community labor, must forfeit all seized evidence including traps a...

marinerfandave

Hi Steve, you technically won't get any lowball offers because the price isn't listed, how much are you asking?

marinerfandave

Sorry, just saw it $12,000

marinerfandave

Price?

marinerfandave

Not as long a drive for you Joe as Lake Shasta, glad you are back on your home lake and the bass are cooperating!

marinerfandave

Congrats Joe on that nice 4.40 lb. bass, that had to feel good given the launching issues at Oroville, great video!

marinerfandave

Thanks Monkey Man, great stuff!

marinerfandave

Ditto on Bob Myskey, I've fished with him the last five years and done well. He is a little old school regarding the electronics but knows the lake extremely well as he lives right there and has been doing this for a very long time. I did two back to back days with him in early July 2020 and got a 6...

marinerfandave

Congratulations on your move from CA to the USA, smart man! Best of luck!

marinerfandave

You are the Muhammad Ali of bass fishing no doubt, the self proclaimed greatest. You should be on the tour and winning big money given your ability to catch great big fish all the time. Of note, you never show us what you are using, where you are, techniques, etc., that would be really helpful and g...

marinerfandave

I see from your listing this is the "50th Anniversary Addition" boat, can you let me know if you have the "Subtraction" version of the same boat?

marinerfandave

They are using the money to protect our Delta fishery

marinerfandave

Thanks Monkeyman, great video once again!

marinerfandave

Congrats, great looking bass! Feel free to share more ....general location, depth, color, etc.

marinerfandave

Congrats and thanks for letting us know what she ate, great catch!!

marinerfandave

That's got to be Diamond Valley Lake, it would be great if the author could share more details with us other than just the pic (without giving all your secrets away of course). But just showing the pic of a Double D is just a tease to be quite honest. Don't post it unless you are willing to share mo...

marinerfandave

I hear you but think about this, all the rod/reel combos we have, all the $$$ we have been forced to use for all the latest and greatest lures (thanks to the bait monkey!), etc. IF someone new to bass fishing asked me for advice on how to learn about bass fishing and how to do it CHEAPLY, I would re...

marinerfandave

Observation, I have read countless articles and seen numerous videos where very experienced amateur and even some of the pros say this: "When fishing is tough and you are looking for a bite, use a drop shot". So for a simple minded person like me, "why not just start with the drop sho...

marinerfandave

Like I said before, Economics 101. If the price he is asking is too high, it won't sell. And then he will lower the price until it does sell = supply and demand.

marinerfandave

I'm assuming you are not talking stripers because they have those in the Sacramento River and so that would be closest at a marina up there. For largemouth I would think somewhere down in Stockton off I-5 would be closest for you and get you fishing quickest. I'm not looking at any maps right now bu...

marinerfandave

Guys, this is Economics 101 - Supply and Demand. If someone buys the boat for $32K, he priced it right. If nobody buys it, he will lower the price until someone does buy it.

marinerfandave

Next time wear a tuxedo and hang on! Double digit?
