Happy Belated birthday!

Split shot rig with a hologram shad 4.5" curly robo worm. Sometimes the curly tail shad on the drop shot was good also. Locals said the curly robo on a darter head worked good too.I never tried it though… Had a vacation house up there for twelve years and it was a consistent bait for me at both...

Had a 20’ lowe pontoon and used it on Don Pedro and McClure to bass fish Put a 24v power drive minnkota on it. It worked, when the wind kicked up I would head for a nice big cove that I could use the tm to putt around in. Rarely put the Bimini up … Tm batteries would get a work out for sure Can’t sp...

Never too old to take up a new hobby/sport. You may want to consider fishing McClure too..Having previously had a vacation home up there for 12 years, I fished Don Pedro and McClure. Pedro can be a tough lake. Many times we could hardly scratch up a bite. McClure has a big population of spotted bass...

When I had an e-tec several years back I took it to Pacific Marine Repair in Ventura. They worked on it several times.
You might try giving them a call (805) 658- 1709

C&R with bass. Years ago had a bass that was a bleeder so I cooked it to give it a try, not my cup of tea...stripers are the only ones I found that taste good. But to each their own. :? Have to say when I frequented McClure I noticed a big difference in the fish quality within a few years after ...

fishndp

Thanks
Brings back memories

Had a vacation home at Pedro for 12 yrs Fished McClure and Pedro mostly
See people knock the spotties...
So fun to catch!
Wish there were some to catch down here where I live in So Cal....

I have a smaller hp 2005 etec and experienced a similar problem. Pulled the cover and got into the filter that’s part of the engine where the main fuel goes into it. Full of little pieces of rubber. Fuel lines were in the beginning stages of ethanol deterioration. It would idle fine but when I went ...

1. What style of drop shot weight do you think is the most snag-less, round, tear drop, or pencil? Pencil 2. Do you prefer mono, braid, or FC line?Braid with floro leader 3. If you could only drop shot one size bait, what would it be? 4 1/2 " robo curly tail 4. If you could only drop shot one s...

Got my first pair of Maui jims about 2 months ago
The optics are incredible

Amber gradient is what I chose
I am not at all disappointed
Just a bit lighter in the wallet dept. since they were prescription they were pricey

I used John Chirapotti. I was happy with him.

You may also try Matt Allen. Not sure if he guides on Don Pedro, but he is an awesome guide and fisherman.

Steve I had a conversation with a bass fisherman that was leaving when I was driving through. He said he was able to get a limit. It was tough though. Drop shotting green pumpkin or watermelon red plastics around 30 ft. He said if he had it to do over again he would hit Pedro. So I followed his lead...

: Upper lot at south ramp

Went by there last weekend

I thought I remember the ranger saying south ramp was it. I drove down to the bottom and it's launchable still.
Not even enough water to moor houseboats I guess.

Ended up fishing at Pedro. Scratched up a few fish there.

fishndp

Nice fish. ..I fish pedro and McClure mostly
Wanna share what you got them on?????

fishndp

I had a similar problem. But only after I would stop after traveling to a new spot. At about 17mph it would lose depth. After throttling down it would say 2' and take 10 min or so minutes to show proper depth. I finally figured out by just running my fishing line or a dock line over the bottom of th...

Had a similar problem. Fuse and solenoid both were ok. Turned out to be corrosion on the trailer ground lead.
Cleaned it up and hasn't been a problem since.

fishndp

I also went out on the Wailua with Tom Christy
It was too early in the season for the peacocks (was there in late May)
We did catch a few largies and up river got into the smallies.
Good time !
Good Guide!

Check out Don Pedro. Big lake up out of Modesto.
You can set up camp on shore just about anywhere
I haven't done it in a few years.
But we would just pay for the boat and vehicle for a few days and hang out on the lake shore.

Brian @ valley prop is the go to guy here in Ventura County for sure.

He'll take good care of you

Ken what is the proper part # for the power cable and gamble bracket for this unit.
It was purchased in 2010.
Thanks in advance for the reply

I have used Star tron instead of Stabil and always had good luck with it.

I have not been out on a bunch of guided trips, but Johnny C. was top notch. He got us bit in some tough fall transitional fishing. He wet a line only to show us a technique. That being said, Johnny sure can fish, I call him a fish magnet. He did land a few himself while showing us some stuff, but w...

Based on your location, if you are fishin at Don Pedro; I have had good luck the last few months with the roboworm sculpin 4" purple weenie. Or the 4" straight tail purple weenie works too. I have used the Pro Worms Pro gold 3" leech color 300 / small red flake and done well in the sp...
