When I wacky rig senkos I use the 1/0 EWG Gammie, never have a problem hooking fish. I rarely wacky rig other baits.

Okuma Guide Select 7'6 or 7'11. Yhey come in MH, H and XH actions to cover a wide range of swimbaits and at only $99.00 you cant beat the price.

I will be there around 3:00 PM Thursday. I go every year and check out all the fishing booths and listen to a seminar or two. This year I have an assignment form one of my bosses to find a good pig hunting guide for a possible firm pig hunt.

What type of knot were you using. it is important to polamar knot. Also, be sure to wet your knot before cinch it down. with that being said, I am not a big fan of the smaller pound test of Vanish and Transition, I have had some breakage issues with it. I tend to use 14# and bigger.

I know the Sacramento BPS is tied to the Rail Yard redevelopment. If the the Rail Yard gets redeveloped there will most likely be a BPS. Redeveloping the Yard is going to be an expensive endeavor, one that BPS cannot/will not do on its own. I would not count on seeing a BPS in Sacramento in the next...

Keep up on engine maintenance. Have you motor de-carbed yearly and run Ring Free or similar additive in every other tank of gas.

Looks like you can order it from Lowrance, if you can not find it anywhere else. Here is a link, just scroll down the search a unit menu , it looks like a ducer is going to run you about $60.00

Do yourself a favor and look at as many rods in person as you can. Not everyone likes the same things in rods, so look at all the rods mentioned. I personally love my Okuma 7'6 XH, it is light with a good action and great sensitivity. Okuma also stands by their rods 100% which is worth a great deal....

I found 180.00 for my mom, and .50 for my father in law.

Swampy,

Me and my Partner are fishing AC tourneys out of his 16 foot Tracker with a 25 on the back. I think you would be fine in most team tourneys or club tourneys. If you do end up selling your boat let me know, it is a clean little rig.

I would have to agree with, being that I was one of the boaters you speak of.

Mark is unreal. He is taking care of me with a IDX-400 reel. Thank you Mark, and thank you Okuma

Sacto John

Yes it was at McClure, if you snag my reel you can just PM me

. Not too concerned about buying a new reel as I was going to have to regardless.

This past weekend I had one of my Okuma swimbait rods break while casting during a tournament. The force of my cast caused the butt end of my rod to fly out of my hand and into the lake. I knew if I had a even a piece of the rod they would most likely be able to replace it for me under warranty. As ...

Fishing at Los Banos Creek, me and my buddy saw a fox chasing a cotton-tail along the shore. We then noticed another fox up above the rabbit, circling down to cut him off. Sure enough the fox ran the rabbit right into the other fox and the rabbit was killed. It was cool to see them hunting as a team...

I love fishing in the rain. Most of my best, non-spawn, days have been in NASTY weather.

I'm going when I get off work today.

One suggestion that I can make is to a spinning reel with an over-sized spool. I am a Shimano guy but I have been looking at the Daiwa spinning reels because of their over-sized spools. I have been using one of the new Mitchell 300 on my drop shot rod and have experienced very little line twist in c...

Here are three that cover the entire water column. For the surface throw a MS Slammer, for Mid range depths throw a ROF 12 Hudd, and for the bottom throw a LA Slider or a Bottom Walker.

The E-tec performance in the Bass and Walleye Bots test had much more to do with the hull/pad design of the Bullet the were testing on than the motor.

Sacto John

The cost of bass fishing is only as high as you allow it. Going from starving grad student to newly wed to new father has left me and my family with little in the way of disposable income, yet my time on the water has increased every year while our debt has decreased. I am lucky that my wife is grea...

Sacto John

I agree with Marty, the best way to learn the Delta is to go out and fish it.

Sacto John

You could also offer your back seat to some nutcases here on the board. More than one might respond and show you what they know. It would not be the same as a guide but at least you would not be going out blind.

Sacto John

You want a Dead Sea come spend some time on Folsom

I am still at 9.75, caught on a swimbait in 2002. Zippers' Delta fish could have been mine if she wanted a Spinnerbait instead of a Crank.

Sacto John

The Delta is always my answer. Lots of stripers and largmouth to be had right now.

Sacto John

Mike, bring it on up, I never turn down free stuff. I will be fishing with a buddy out of his 16 foot Bass Tracker with a 25 Merc.

Sacto John

I will be fishing it. I will also be at the open house in the afternoon.

Sacto John

When will we be able to sign up and pay for this? Will sign-ins be done Sunday morning at the ramp, or can we sign-up/pay at the Galaxie open house on Saturday?

Sacto John

Have fun Jonathan. I may need to take a trip up there soon as my wife has been bugging me for fish tacos.....mmmm fish tacos.

Sacto John

You can keep fish under 12 inches and over 15 inches (keep the shorts) I think the daily bag limit is the same, 5 per person per day.

Kiene's fly shop in Sacramento has a great message board. Everybody seems very helpful and anglers from all over the state post there.

I camped and fished around the state park last weekend and never found clear water; it was all a was red/tea color. There were tons of bait fish up shallow, it looked like a shad explosion everytime I casted up shallow. Most of the fish I caught were in the 10 foot range.

Sacto John

I agree with Bones. My rods have the same line whether I am fishing Delta or the lakes. I have been using more Florocarbon lines which I think helps me have a little heaveier line on my rods at all times. Still most of my fishing is done with 15 pound test or lighter except on my Swimbait and flipin...

The weather was great all weekend. Did not get to fish as much as I would have wished but my wife and daughter had a great time at the campground and in the boat.

Did anyone go out on Clear Lake yesterday or today? I am taking my family camping up there tomorrow and I would like to get them on some fish. The reports/tips that I have received are from before the weather cooled off and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to give me some pointers. We are ...

Sacto John

you are welcome to a free spool up...after that backlash I supposedly "caused" on the Delta, I guess I owe you.

Sacto John
