that's just one topic...to make a point. I know you're probably a "single point" type of person, and I respect that. however, I am not sure that the added launch fees that may exist in some places to get an $80,000 boat into the water is the hill I am willing to die on. if I know WRB, he m...

California Infects America? hahah.. as a Chinese person, I can still go to places in this country where people have called me Chink. hahah.. one restaurant they gave all my buds menus and didnt even give me one. its part of the reason I quit big game hunting. all the good animals are in the boondock...

great shop.

always willing to give fishing tips.

mid lake was okay. the green stuff would build up on my reel after hours of fishing, but other than that...not bad.

knowing where we would need to pick it up would be helpful.

any pics?

I am unclear on what is happening at my local Cotati fishing store. they could move the entire store into a building 75% smaller and it would work. the shelves are bare. (they do keep me happy in Senko #925) thankfully, I work in Fairfield CA, and there is a a competitor there with a healthier vibe ...

that second 7-1 rod. is a bottom contact rod? jigs and stuff right?

Backlash Black Belt

Wow. Sick deal!

Backlash Black Belt

my timing is always off. my crappy fish finder broke on my kayak and I am hoping to buy a new one. I homed in on the 73sv. seems to check all the boxes and comes with lake-maps. it is no longer available. I can find plenty of 74sv units combos for $600. add the map package for an additional $150. le...

we found clear shallow waters. 7-8 foot visibility.

we found bedded fish. some even cooperated. all of it was fun. heads up.

Backlash Black Belt

thank you Dave!

Backlash Black Belt

please help. I don't have a fish finder at the moment on my kayak. think they are shallow yet? thinking about launching at Rodmans to suss it out. I "think" fish are staging in the flat outside of Rodmans. but I am a rookie and usually full of S. :D any rough help as to predicted fish dept...

Backlash Black Belt

My fish finder broke. I’m ordering a new one tomorrow. I was a savage and had to use my paddle to probe for depths. Nevertheless, I found them. I got five, for just about a 20lb bag. I got 10 days to fish a lot! Miss you honey!

Backlash Black Belt

I hear terms thrown around. Central Delta, North Delta, South Delta. the "river". is there a map the kinda defines the borders of each area? Frank's Tract is Central? and River: Sacramento River? San J River? I'm typically a Clearlake guy, and the Delta is relatively new for me. I am going...

Backlash Black Belt

My Kayak cracked and a new warranty hull is on the way. I’m gonna tape the cracks and try the Delta. (Tiny cracks) Like always I throw up a map. I live in Santa Rosa, so any Delta launch is a journey. Tomorrow is good weather, decent tides. Being do early in the season I’m gonna fish some deadend sl...

I fish out of a kayak, but I have a friend with a BassBoat. I often asks him why we don't do a fun tournament together. maybe a windy-wednesday thing. his answer kinda shocks me. he hates and is NOT good at backing up his boat trailer. he actually never does, since he parks/stores his boat at a Delt...

Backlash Black Belt

they do this why? for erosion control?

Backlash Black Belt

Agreed. Bare minimum, maybe buy some bass from Texas? Haha.

Backlash Black Belt

I saw him Thursday. we bought a bunch of his thin swimbaits. dude was quite the pitchman!!

Backlash Black Belt

when people say, "the river". what exactly do they mean.

the Sacramento River, San Juaquin?.,,..

Backlash Black Belt

Sucks. That’s my store.

How was he not successful? The shop guys stopped him?

Shoplifting has been happening forever. Brazen stuff. I saw this as a kid at my parents store. In Texas.

I didn’t blame the Texas governor at the time.

Backlash Black Belt

I'm impressed with how the Mussels actually hasn't full on invaded our lakes. I keep my kayak spotless and dry. in between trips I run a small fan inside the hull to really dry it out. the moving air helps. I have been inspected many many times, and having a clean boat really abbreviates the experie...

there really is just a couple "rules of engagement" Be Prepared and honest. Be polite and patient. I read a bunch of online horror stories. trust me when I say, my hands were sweaty walking into the DMV. my good friend paid $400 to register his Hobie ProAngler. he had to go back and forth ...

Norpro My Favorite Scissors. <---that's the name of the scissors on Amazon.

Backlash Black Belt

doing some grocery shopping, I noticed a box of small scissors in a box. they were $6. I grabbed a pair, noting the serrated blade. "hmmm...could cut braid!" I got home and tied an Alberto knot. the scissors are so dang sharp!! my Cuda's are sharp, but not like these. 100% slack line braid...

that "other" thread compelled me to go with one of the more vibrant heavy hitter battery companies. for a hundred bucks more, it seemed like it was worth saving me the grief. I think grief is priceless (in a bad way).

no thanks.

good luck OP. hope you get it settled.

is that a Bantam 22?

congrats to retirement!! and further congratulations for retiring WELL, and marrying AWESOME.

well done!! I'm trying to retire well enough to buy a sprinter van...the math isn't jiving all that well. haha.

Backlash Black Belt

How do you all manage the pull lines during storage and moving the kayak? You unhook caribiners from the motor, pull motor off, set it in the truck…. What do you do with the pull cords? Roll it all up and do what with it? It’s running thru those fixed eyelets so they are not coming off the kayak rig...

Backlash Black Belt

I have had great warranty service from Shimano. but for regular maintenance, I use others. I've used REEX-X but he told me he was retiring, so I figured I may as well find another dude. I went with DVT. what I got back was magic. I wanted to run inside the house to toast some bread, because what I h...

The water is going south as that's where the votes are. Very little that we can do about it. He can care less what we think or the impact it will have on the Delta. Just another lousy politician and I'm speaking of the Governor if you didn't get my drift. So much for all his environmental BS talk. ...

Backlash Black Belt

I'm gonna try these. I have it in my mind that this will make a great punch bait. it would slip thru the mat easy enough.

opps. should have put this in the Terminal Tackle forum. sorry.

I know I am kidding myself about Secret lakes. there are no secrets in fishing. not bass fishing. but having a kayak helps. there are no-boat lakes that are awesome, and there are lake that are an absolute hell to get to. kayaks are again awesome..
