George. It's well documented what sea lions are doing to threatened fish populations on the west coast.

Not sure what, if anything California does, but Oregon and Washington do take some action.

Not black bass specific, but the only org. that I know of, that's working to keep our fisheries going in CA. is Ca. Sportfishing Protection Alliance. http://calsport.org/dev/index.htm As has already been mention. Seems like the bass fishing community(not everyone)has "apathy" towards prote...

If you are seeing dozens of trout like fish, it's probably "suckers" or pike minnows. Both can get big, and are shaped like trout/salmon. Underwater, pike minnow will look a lot like trout. If you are occasionally seeing scattered "trout", it's possible you are seeing steelhead, ...

Aside from Restore the Delta, which has been doing yeoman's work in our defense, are there any other larger organizations that are singularly focused on defeating the tunnels? I'm thinking on the scale of the Sierra Club but they, of course, focus on many different causes. Not singularly focused on...

Bass Mafia has a Deep Cranking Coffin that stores deep divers vertically. I'm not sure it will fit 10 xds though.

When I'm on the water, and need to retie leader to braid, I use the Alberto Knot. When I'm at home, I use the FG Knot. It's a slimmer, and stronger knot, but a little tougher to tie.

Hi George, The Medeiros launch off of hwy 33 is no longer open. It's been closed for several years. The San Luis Creek launch off of 152 is the only launch ramp at the Forebay now. Anyone thinking of launching needs to know they have a Quagga Mussel inspection. Boat needs to be clean, and totally dr...

they are classified if i read correctly as a pike minnnow a pike! minnow or not pike are invasive? Right? Not quite sure what you are asking, but as NoCal said, they are a native fish to ca. and not classified as a invasive species. Also, "pike minnows" are not pike, but a species of minn...

I was planning on buying the Xi5, but after hearing of some issues with the Pinpoint GPS, I decided to wait to see if they had a fix for it. So far, I've not read of an factory fixes. In the meantime, Minn Kota has the new Ultrex coming out this fall. I will wait for any bugs to show up. If all look...

I think this is the same boat I saw anchored just outside of Frank's, next to Little Frank's. On Saturday, I thought I saw a person sitting inside.

If you are looking for something that will last the longest during your fishing day, you need to look at the battery specs. Mainly what you want to look at is the RC or Reserve Charge. The higher the RC number, the longer your batteries will run the trolling motor. Generally speaking, the higher RC ...

Loved mine so much, I got two more. Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Hard to beat $100 shipped brand new. I'll grab one. Where did you find them at that price? He's probably talking about the Tatula XT model. They list from $99.99 to $119.99. I have a XT frog rod and it's a nice rod for the money....

Sorry to hear of the troubles you had, but like others said, it's a liability issue and why policy dictates they do not jump start you. Jumper cables would not help you in that situation(no separate cranking battery) if you don't have someone close by. I carry one of these in my boat now. https://no...

I guess what I'm asking is, of the Big Three, which would you buy: Garmin Striker, Humminbird Pirhana, or the Lowrance Hook? Personally, I would drop the Hummingbird Piranha out of the options. It's a 3.5" screen, and the sonar is not going to have good definition. If you look at the Hummingbi...

Did you bleed all air out of the under cowling oil reservoir?

I assumed the oil level was co...

briansII, All I heard about were Pizzbob's boat and "two from down the slough a little". That was the week that Bob's boat was stolen from Russo's, and the staff at Russo's told me about it. Thanks Mark, I'm hoping all the boats from that area were stolen by the guys they arrested. I know...

There seems to have been a rash of thefts in the area. Maybe a new crew, with a new take on being scum. I hope the Sheriffs have someone in custody, and can follow up with this. Have you heard about any recent thefts? Last one I heard was stolen from Sugar Barge on Nov 15th or 16th. The Sheriffs ar...

This is an awesome bait. I have not seen anything that swims like it. I want one! What rod/line would you throw this on? I don't know if my current swimbait setup could handle it.

I see the post about the new 7" glide bait from ABT, but I'm wondering if there is any plans on a bigger bait than the original 9"?

I've stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Brentwood. Pricey, but a very nice place. I normally eat in Bethel Island. La Villa Mexican food, Island Joe's, or Deals Restaurant is where I go. Rusty Porthole is right next to Russo's.
