We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition for each is listed below... GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts ...

Just wanted to let any that are interested that I received my registration for their tournament, formerly Northlake Ford, and you will be assigned a launch number based on when they receive your entry. Anyone need a form call 707-263-5603

They both can fool you with nice fish but I have heard that Rollins is going to be closed for this year as they will be repairing the dam and since CFW is fed from Rollins and it is almost full without rain, I would assume that to be a fact.

I LOVE IT!!!

A woman, standing nude, looks in the bedroom mirror and says to her husband, "I feel horrible, I look fat and ugly. Pay me a compliment." The husband replies, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."

He never heard the shot....

Subject: Play your best golf game ever.... or rush to hospital? A man was at the country club for his weekly round of golf. He began his round with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie on the second. On the third hole he had just scored his first ever hole-in-one when his cell phone rang. It was ...

Just got an email from them stating they are reorganizing their web page but should be up and running real soon but their first tournament of the year will be on the delta out of B&W on the 20th so you have time. Hang in there.

For those that have never had a faithful companion to take on those hunting and fishing trips, well they are missing out on one of the best parts of life. I know how you felt when you lost your loving dog as it was a year ago I lost my loyal black lab of 13 years. Missy left a big hole in my heart a...

Basslab

If you went today, email me as I just may be headed there tomorrow, between the raindrops. Thanx.

Basslab

Really sorry to hear about your problem as I have been through the exact thing a couple years ago. Here is a little tip that can help prevent it from occuring. Since most of our line wrap problems occur while we are trolling "good" areas where you have many other snags and line hanging off...

Since CFW is not a trout stocked empoundment, swimbaits have never produced although topwater is always a good choice. This time of year your best bet is a tube or jig up the Bear River arm and with all the rain we have had recently, the lake is already on a rapid rise and you may be able to get bac...

In case you haven't been to the new Sportsman's Warehouse in Rocklin, I was there again today to show Mrs. Claus a few items that would be nice and noticed they have a tremendous selection of gloves. Not knowing exactly the brand or type you need, I would either give them a call or visit them. The f...

Basslab

Since it is right down the road from me, I stopped by this morning to check it out and I was very impressed. Their fishing dept has over 67,000 items alone, not to mention everything else you may need for your boat or clothing, etc. Definately worth a look see and the prices are as good if not bette...

As far as making the scratches disappear, I have used acetone but now use Mr Clean Magic Eraser. Whatever it is, it will make a scratch invisible and completely remove any dirt from it and then you can use whatever system you desire to sand down and repair the area. Magic Eraser will also clean any ...

In answer to Mallard House, yes I have stayed there a few times and it is a really neat, clean place to stay and they treat you well. Parking on a non tournament weekend will be no problem. I will definately stay there again should the need arise.

Basslab

Yeah, Bassbusters of Yuba City is putting on their annual toys for tots tournament out of the spillway this coming Saturday, Nov 4th and you can sign up at the ramp if you haven't already mailed it in. Believe it is $70 per boat and an additional $10 for big fish pot, if you desire. Remember to brin...

Got a flyer the other day from Yuba City Bassbusters and they are having their annual toy for tots tournament on November 4th. Call Tom for all details (530) 743-2909.

Basslab

Oh yeah, just let me know and I shall be there!

Basslab

Very simple to get there from Sac or anywhere. Just take Hwy 99 north to Yuba City off I-5 just as you go past Arco Arena, go through Yuba City and about 6 miles further you go through Live Oak and about 10 more miles you go through Gridley. This will be your last town and about 5 miles north of Gri...

Fish it quite regularly and here's a tip for you. You want to be sure to have enough water to get into all the good spots and not be held only to the walls when water is low. I start calling the Oroville info line a few days before my planned trip and see if the water is on the rise or drop and plan...

First and foremost, Bob's Marine and Nor-Cal put on one heck of a tournament and the entire weekend was a blast, especially when you wind up taking home a check and a bunch of goodies. That brings me to the topic of the non- boater that won a boat cover and couldn't use it. If the boater is on the f...

Got my room waiting for my tired butt and hope to meet a lot of the forum regulars this weekend.

Basslab

Congratulations and continued success as you have also support my prop and gear needs for over 15 years. NO ONE else gets my prop business and whenever I need something fast, you always get it to me pronto. Keep up the good work and will see you in a couple weeks while fishing Shasta.

Basslab

Since I'm not running the tournament and can't give a definative answer, I would say the answer would be no. It would be like dropping a dropshot while waiting to blast off in the morning as the end of the first day is continued into the next day. If it was a one day tourny then you could undoubtedl...

Basslab

I did call Nor-Cal and Tim returned my call last night and said he definately received my entry and all was well. So I'm only guessing that all that have sent money should not worry and just show up ready to fish.

Basslab

Just outta curiousity, has anyone received notification that their money has been received? Sent mine in the week I received the flyer ( that was months ago) and made reservations at Konocti Vista so hope they got it as I heard nothing. I will give Nor-Cal a call tomorrow, if necessary. See you all ...

Yesterday I decided to take to day off and head to Oroville for the first time in months, with the Clearlake bite so hot, and just relax by myself. Was down the south fork beyond the 2nd bridge, into the "No Ski" area and saw the Ranger Patrol Boat go by and said, yeah when you need one ar...

Thanks for the reply but when I told the wife, she immediately had to show me up again by finding the info. Here is the direct extraction from the DMV Unit 7: Rules of the Road and Safe Driving Practices: Urban and Rural Driving. Section 07.C.03 (3)......... On one lane roads where neither vehicle c...

Here's the scenario.....You're towing up a steep, winding, single lane road when you encounter another boater coming down the grade. Someone has to give but who? I have always backed down to a safe area to allow the downgrade boat access as I have always thought some trailer brakes may lock if you t...

I don't believe there will be any BBQ and since it is a turkey shoot, there will be no slot waiver. These are the same shoots that Richard Weir has put on for the past 10 years and he pays back 100% and in this one, as he did with Kenny Walker's memorial, Richard has purchased the plaques out of his...

Signups will be starting at 6:PM with a $40 per team entry, launching out of the spillwayk at 7:pm until 1:AM. Thanks to all.

Our fishing community has lost another fine person in the name of Jack Pedley. Being from the Marysville/Yuba City area, Jack loved fishing Oroville and to that end there will be a benefit in his name on Friday night the 30th of June. The tournament signup and launch will be from the spillway ramp a...

Noticed the story in the Bee today about Lake Davis and the ever ongoing battle to eradicate northern pike as they plan on another poison campaign in 2007. My thinking is this will be my last chance to try and fish for those toothy critters. Now before you start, I neither endorse or oppose their ac...

Have I been living in a cave or has there been no new information about that huge bass caught in So Cal? I know that IGFA is looking into whether or not to certify it as a new world record but have heard no follow up on any decisions. Any word out there?

Basslab

Couldn't be picking a better week to hit CFW as the prespawn feed is really on and catching them is a no brainer. Don't know if you will be in a boat or bank fishing but either way, head for the shallow coves and work the banks virtually anything including topwater and Senko type baits and you will ...

I can't imagine I'm the only one that has seen the new TV ads for Gulp fishing baits although I am watching some of the eastern channels on satellite but they are quite different. They show KVD, Skeet Reese and "Ike" in the all natural state pitching praise for the natural attractants in G...

This Saturday, November 5th will be the 6th annual Toys For Tots tournament at Lake Oroville sponsored by Bassbusters of Yuba City. With every factory wrapped toy you bring you will be given a raffle ticket for one of 2 Kistler rods. This is a very visible tournament that enables local children to g...

I feel that any culling system beats the old weigh and write it down like we used to do. Everyone I know that uses this unit has the same problem with them coming off the fish and under NO circumstances should you use this one if you have a combined live well with all fish going in together. I perso...

Basslab

Oh yeah, the fish are still there and active if you find the right area. Have been there twice in the past week and nice to know you still have a ramp to launch from and you will have to look for some deeper water, preferrably with rocks and you will be on them. The best right now is using a drop sh...

I guess it all depends on who is on duty for the airline for the day you fly as I have gone to Texas twice with my rod carrier and both times on American and never charged. They did try the $80 trick on the last return trip but informed them it is sports equipment, the same as a surf board or golf c...

Need some help in resolving an issue about local bass clubs and how they are operating. I say that draw team tournaments are better for the individual and club as opposed to individual draw tournaments.

Pick up a box of Magic Eraser from Mr Clean and it will take care of your paint marks. They truly are magical and simply wet the sponge and the dirt erases before your eyes without damaging any surface material. I use it all the time on my boat and even removes dirt from deep gel coat scratches that...

Anyone out there know where I may be able to find a Bass Magnet crank bait? BPS used to offer them but can't find them there or anywhere else and have been surfing the web for days without any success. I don't recall who made them but when I initially bought some many years ago I called somewhere in...

Bill: They meet the first Thursday of the month at Peachtree restaurant in Linda, across the road from Walmart. The club is called Bassbusters of Yuba City and the meeting starts at 7:PM so come on by and visit.

Basslab

I've tried them all but recently have switched to the BPS brand Sticko for a couple reasons. The normal price is $4.50 per bag but recently had a sale for $3.33 a bag of 20. Yeah, 20 per bag instead of 10 equates to approximately 1/4 the cost of Senkos and they do catch fish and will stay on for 4-5...

Was there on Friday and although not many bites, boated an 8.9, a 9.1 and one "dinker" 8.2. Only 3 fish but 26 pounds ain't too bad. Shoot me an email and maybe I can help.
