It is nice to hear about this good deed. I needed to read about this after this past weekend. At the Yamamoto event at Russo's someone took out my fender on my trailer and did not even leave a note saying sorry. If I had ever done that to someone's truck or trailer I would leave a note and contact i...

I fished the pro/am circuit for several years. Even after pre-fishing, being signed up for months in advance and then being told not enough boats for more than one event or even circuits, this year I decided to fish Future Pro. It was between BBT or Future Pro and due to tourney dates choose Future ...

roaroar

This was my first Future Pro event and can say I was glad I choose to fish this circuit this year. As for as the tournament goes. The check in was easy and organized. Boat check was easy and getting the lake county check also easy. We were there early so that helped with the rush that I am sure came...

My boat was sold as a new boat but had decals from the pro that had it to demo. The decals lasted about a year then started to raise up. I eventually removed the decals and wash the carpet very very good. Now I have what I would call a dirt decal with the spelling of what was on the decal. I would n...

yea several months ago mine got cut off at BW and gas taken from my truck. I put a heavy stainless hinge from the hardware store and a cutting board. Now they will need more than a knife to get it. Was $15 at dmv to replace and two hours of waiting in line.

Just want to say thanks for a well put together event by Anglers Choice this weekend on Lake Oroville. It was the first Anglers Choice event for me and was pleased with the organization from picking partners to handing out the Hardware. As an Amateur many times its the luck of the draw, and not nece...

Sore Subject to me. I live in Solono County, this past April I got my tax noticed. It was $17000 more than I gave for the boat new two years ago. I call and was told they were using a new form, I mention NADA and they said they had to use what the accessor told them to. I ask them if they would just...

Happy Birthday KB

roaroar

Glad to hear you are already enjoying your new old boat. NOB, that is what I call mine. As far as the battery, I would recommend having a battery for the trolling motor and one for all the rest. Then maybe pick up a two battery charger. The reason for two batteries is so if you are on the trolling m...

Several weeks ago during the Hook Tourney the dredge that was down river from the bridge had only one 5 mile hour buoy out that I seen and no pilot boats. Having seen it on Friday before being out there on Sunday went to the other channel and avoided that area all together. Was supprised that there ...

Whats wrong with Hullpopper and a Jitterbug,love those baits, sometimes can still find them at the local drug store

roaroar

I believe its called pirate cove , dock parking, right at the mouth of san joaquin and mokelumme. Use to have the best hamburger, hand made with real meat. ate there ever time I went out last year.

Forgot about seeing the sign about the road closers, You could also go down Hwy 80 to Hwy 113 in Dixon, then North on Hwy 12 to Rio Vista. or take Hwy 160 out of Sac but that is a Curvy delta road avg speed pulling a boat is 40 mph

roaroar

What they said but once on 160 , you have the option to launch at Brandon Island state park, takes about 10 to 15 min by water from there. I do this when I have a tournament out of Russo's. State park launch ramps are easy if your by yourself. I have a state park pass, no toll crossing and only one ...

I have a question for you guys alone this line. How often do you change your floro? Number of trips out fishing? or Time on the spool? I fish at least once a week sometimes twice. Always seem to get some type of knick in line that breaks at bad times. or sends nice lures across the lake. Not at the ...

roaroar

My boat insurance requires to have a Hot foot or that type of foot gas peddle. Just re-new a few weeks ago and that was an added question. When searching for possible changing insurance another company required it also.

roaroar

Really like the idea of the dig in pole. I have been toying with something similar but never went the extra mile to make one this nice. Wish the poles would break down in half for storage. The 12 foot pole would really come in handy. Not sure how the trolling motor mount would interfere with the boa...

What a great experience helping with the FLW College event out of Webber Park. From the selection of pairings, giving out the items that each boat carried with them, to the Students that were more than excited to be competing. I was paired with a team from Fresno State and they were considerate with...

"From the California data, count on 40 percent mortality from fish brought up from 58 feet–regardless of what gallant steps you might take." Not sure about this but I have yet to bass fish water in the California Delta that is 58 feet deep. Maybe they are talking about stripers or catfish....

roaroar

very nice report. I watched all the weigh-ins and this report helps give it a more local feel.
thanks

roaroar

Great class tonight and lots of info. Great to see all the new faces there. It seems that at least half the people won some sort of raffle prize. Took three pages of notes that I hope to use someday soon.
Thanks to all the make this happen.

roaroar

Nice job Mr. Thomas, Nice to see that Bass Fishing is a sport for all ages. It helps to have his skills.

roaroar

Gone Fishing located in Dixon just off Hwy80 is a Lowrance installer on any boat.

roaroar

For the money and options that come with a Z7 its a great boat. I fish out of my team partners Z8 and its a great ride and fishing platform.
To bad your up there, This weekend is the SAC sportsman show and I think GoneFishing will have a Z7 at the show. I know they have one in the showroom in Dixon.

roaroar

I just wanted to say thanks for all the guys adding to this topic. It is refreshing to actually learn something instead of who can argue the most. I feel this discussion is what forums should be about.

thanks again,

Here is a response from Lowrance about this issue. Went out today and it helped some what. (number 3) With Trolling motor interference there is only so much that we can filter out before we start to filter out our own signals. The problem mainly exists on digital trolling motors that do not have cor...

I use the Falcon boxes also. I use the smaller ones and divide them by depth. Takes more boxes but packs easier when fishing in someone's boat and not my own.

I was there for Ultimate Bass and as normal a great time. I ask Mark how many and he said 82. For this close to the Holidays that is a great turn out. You could tell that many had been working on their pitching tech for there were no ding boats. I was looking forward to hearing from the TD's but as ...

Great post from a concern father, wish I could help but never had any kids. Good thing would end up in jail if I raised them like I was raised.

looking forward to the get together, December meeting is always fun.

ABA Delta has 20 post either pro or con

Hook Line and Sinker has 2 post and those being just a bump.

roaroar

Well I have to say it was a good call. I agree we fish during the weather no matter what. I pre-fished Thursday and was really looking forward to Saturday. It was a good call because it came early enough to make different plans. I am sure you thought about this long and hard because of all the peopl...

roaroar

Both units are good and depends on what you get use to. I would only recommend you get the largest screen you can afford. With the larger HDS 8 and HDS 10 you can have up to 4 different views. The overlays are nice and soft keys really help getting thur the menu. Also as we get older larger screens ...

roaroar

I hope this helps. After you get the proper cables and units talking, You can check by adding way points and see if they show up on both units. You can set up units to share sonar and temp from either the front or rear unit. When you are using the front and put it in Stand by mode it will auto chang...

roaroar

I have a HDS-7 flush mounted in the front and it works great. Just make sure if your mounting it up front you do not let the trolling motor power cross HDS cables. It still has some issues with lines at depths of 15 plus feet but i am told that the new 4.0 coming soon is going to help this.

roaroar

I have been working with Lowrance on several issues. I am actually on my 4th unit. I am not an employee of lowerance so my statements here is just what we have been addressing with my issues that they are aware of. Each week I send a crash program to them so they can make the system better. The issu...

roaroar

Great class tonight, Large crowd there also.
Bobby was very entertaining and imformative. Not only was the Frog info good, the points brought up about Punching will help alot also.

roaroar

Have a question. I know a young man that is 16 yo He is a very good kid and has a lot of respect for his elders. He has never fished before as for as I know but might be interested in something like this to learn. I will try to take him out myself before this event but would he be out of his league ...

roaroar

I picked up several of the Trokar hooks. Like the way they were already set up with the barb. Had read many good things about them and such. What I found out was the Punching hooks were not welded and my snell knot would always slide into the ring. A pro suggested that I could solder each one to pre...

roaroar

I have fished PRO/AMs now for two years. I fished the NBW as a pro this year. Everytime I go out there is more to learn. Either when by myself or being in the front or back of the boat. I agree you may or may not be always learning about hooking fish but as one pointed out time management, working w...
