Are any of these still available? My email is clanderman@cox.net and I am interested

The HDS has the antenna built in... Unless there is an option to add an external antenna and disable the internal one, Im not sure what you are asking here.

cLanderman

Up your life insurance :D and don't expect to catch many fish. On a decent day a team will be lucky to catch 5 let alone a single person, but those 5 will likely be 14+ lbs. As stated before, the lake is extremely windy at all times (much worse than mead) and you can expect to add 10-15mph of wind t...

cLanderman

wait.... did I read wrong, or are they really doing a two lake two day championship? Thats not cool.... it sounds interesting on paper, but that is just too big of an advantage for the locals. Its tough enough to prefish a single lake from a long distance let alone having to prefish two different la...

cLanderman

I think originally when a few of the guys on tour had that little competition to match colors of shoes to their boat that they were all using DC brand... but could be wrong.

cLanderman

I have an HDS5 and love it... great investment. Can not speak to the service at Lowrance though as mine has not had a single issue since I installed it.

cLanderman

No tournaments on Lake Mohave for the Nevada Region? ...why is that?

cLanderman

wow.... Pat is a great guy....

...stay tough Pat.

I don't know Hippie, but that is besides the point. I read the comments and it was just how Guy stated. Hippie said nothing different then we hear every single day. A guy post pictures of his new boat on here and its followed by at least one or two comments stating "wow, must be nice to afford ...

cLanderman

I didnt take offense to anything, I just didn't like you stating that I said Sam's Town sucked, when I didn't. I only stated that it was not as safe of an area as most people made it seem. I know I am not the only one that wants to keep my boat far away from residential areas. I would personally sta...

Yeah thats what I said.... :roll: Trying to help out another angler and you feel the need to twist the comments Here you go...

cLanderman

I have been watching this thread and trying to avoid adding my 2 cents but had to give my opinion. (Disclaimer: I have lived in Vegas all my life) The area around Sam's Town and Boulder Station is far from a "safe" area, and one of the more likely areas in town to experience a break in. As...

We just busted a cheater. A Southern California angler was caught with lead weights in the bellies of his fish. They were found the second day during cleaning of the dead fish (they are all donated to charity) and he had the gall to try it again today.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly...

cLanderman

I know rules are rules, but it would take a real D-Bag to DQ a fish if a guy unintentionally fell out of the boat during the fight... just my opinion.

cLanderman

I dealt with the same issues on my Opti... as stated above it is very common to get a small crack in the cap of the oil reservoir, and when you shut the engine down and it pressurizes, it can pump out without you knowing it. Also, (as stated above by Kevin) you MUST AT ALL TIMES keep that reservoir ...

New ramp is out a little closer to the tires than the old ramp.... there is a new road and parking lot that run adjacent to the marina on the South shoreline. Hey Kevin, I have been around, just a bit too busy to get out on the water the last few weeks. Currently in Mississippi watching the oil spil...

cLanderman

Yeah... the new ramp has made a huge difference. Even on Memorial weekend, there was never a line to get in and out of the water at Callville. You can still use the old ramp as well.

cLanderman

The wind was calm this morning but is expected to start blowing around noon. I assume they sent everyone out.

cLanderman

Come on now... its Mohave, no matter what they say the wind will be you will need to add about 15mph. This is my favorite lake to fish and I spend most of my time down there, but it can definately be the most dangerous. The wind is funneled up the channels and if the report of Southern wind is right...

cLanderman

I use Marine Stabil and Quickleen in every tank of gas. It is more than a recomendation of many of the top marine mechanics. Marine engines just can't handle ethynol very well.

cLanderman

Why does it matter? Skeet Reese doesn't work for Lucky Craft, and Tiger Woods isn't really a Nike employee. You sponsor individuals because you believe they will give you a return for your money, not for any other reason. Just because this is a Government entity does not make it any different.

cLanderman

I have the Serrano and all I can say is BLEH... not that great of a real in comparison to others in the same price range. ($170) ...biggest complaint is with the "velocity control system" which is kinda cheaply made. Real casts smooth and has a decent distance, but is just not quite at the...

Save up===buy Loomis, one at a time; you will NEVER be sorry....or lookin for the next best thing (it doesn't exist). cant leave out powell and dobyns ;) but i agree saw up and buy quality rods one by one.. you wont be disappointed.. I think this post pretty much sums up EXACTLY what I was trying t...

cLanderman

Maybe it is just me, but I always see people talking about (good rod for 100 dollar range) such as this topic, but there is never that much talk about Powell rods in that range. I am not tied to Powell in any way, but with the recent drop to 140 bucks, I just cant see buying a 100 dollar rod when a ...

cLanderman

Are you sure it isn't for the HDS-5x ?? That is the model that is just a fishfinder and no GPS... seems like it would more likely be the one being given at that price.

cLanderman

Of the 3 more known Champion guys; Quinn signed with Triton, Skeet and Mike McCleland have both stated that for the time being (through the Classic) they are sticking with their Champions. Can't blame them if they leave for something else, they have to make a living, but I am thinking that the boat ...

cLanderman

I disagree.... late February and the first week or two of March is when you see most of the 20lb sacks come from Mohave... A tough lake no doubt, but a great one to go if you are looking for good size compared to Mead.. not many small fish on Mohave... if you get bit, its usually in the 3-4lb range....

cLanderman

Pretty cool to see 1st place with 5 largemouth of 17+lbs and 2nd place of 5 smallmouth worth 16+..... not everyday you see something like that.

cLanderman

Getting exactly what you want is more important than price. I assume you want to keep this boat for a while. No regrets!! +1 ...I just completed my purchase and really took my time. If you are that concerned about the price, then I would assume that you are planning on a permanent purchase (not jsu...

Good luck David... always fun to fish against you.

I snapped two Crucials... one casting and the other was the crucial drop shot rod. However, it is Shimano, so just take it back. good warranty

Off of the Yamaha boards on BBC... "Got some of the prices/specs from Yamaha today. They weigh 505 lbs. HPDI's were 539 lbs. VF200LA is $19,370. VF225LA is $20,620. VF250LA is $21,870." ...likely just MSRP and we know there is a lot of room to work with, but I wouldnt expect it to be equiv...

cLanderman

The prices have I have been hearing are just to high for me. Somewhere in the range of 50% more then comparable two stroke. I don't see how you can save that kind of money over the life of the engine, but there are other reasons to buy I guess. Another thing to keep in mind is that history has shown...

Pete, I work for an ISP out here in Vegas and would advise starting with the free Windows Defender with the latest updates. Since you have a typical spyware running, it should have no problem taking care of it and if updated, keeping you relatively clean. It isn't as good as the pay companies (mcafe...

cLanderman

Actually it is wise (and manufacturer recommended) to use Marine Stabil and Quickleen/Ring Free in EVERY gallon of gas you use. One thing to always keep in mind is that regular gas has a nice helping of alcohol in it (ethanol) and is very tough on Marine engines. The Marine Stabil helps combat this,...

The technology is balancing fairly well across the board from all real companies now. As usual you will get people that are only for this or only for that, but when it comes down to it, you need to open your mind and use reals from multiple companies to find the ones that fit you the most.

I am aware it has been said a bunch already, but the best cost effective spinning real on the market is no comparison.

Pfleuger President which you can get for 50-60 bucks and is a great performer.

The FLW only allows 40 teams to compete, because of what it takes to get enough pros from the Stren to take these guys out, etc. With that being said, it is important that more colleges get involved, but there will not be higher numbers in the tournaments anytime soon. There is a waiting list to get...

cLanderman

Obviously I am the minority on this subject. Especially on this site which is mostly pros/ams, but I just think that it is unfair to attack the college events when there are other places to start. Sometimes we bite the hand that feeds without knowing the whole story. In this case the FLW is a busine...

cLanderman

Underprivileged is a relative term. Last time I checked, of the 40+ or so teams that fished the regular season of the trail, only a couple had access to a boat outside of the FLWs events, but you are welcome to draw your own conclusion on what I stated.

cLanderman

True, but if you want to build the sport from the outside in, then the college thing will draw more attention in the long run. Someone that has no affiliation with the sport of bass fishing would be more likely to tune-in to see college vs college competition then our sport's big names. IMHO

cLanderman

I can not believe that this is even a discussion. The college thing is an amazing event and to say stuff along the lines of "better spent on NG or Stren" is disheartening. For those of you that do not know, get out to the college events and see what these kids are going through. In most ca...

cLanderman

I used to get angry when I would see someone taking a bass or asking me to keep a bass for harvest. Then I was out fishing with a buddy that fly fishes tournaments -- where the fish is also kept alive -- and he asked me what I did with the trout that I catch when up camping and fly fishing. He point...

Mohave is one of the best pre-spawn lakes there are. Here are the pics of some of the fish we brought in. The BBQ was a really cool touch to the two day tourneys. Thanks Larry http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo191/clanderman/mohave001.jpg http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo191/clanderman/mohave...

cLanderman

Very nice, and good job to your brother as well as all of the other competitors. This is a great event and FLW and the National Gaurd deserve a pat on the back.

My brother fished it as well for UNR and did very well taking third. I am very proud of him.

What a great event.

This time of the year, all four of the major Colorado River lakes are extremely clear and you can easily see the bottom in 40ft+

Nice to hear you're doing well.

So I am getting into the Market to buy aanother boat, and I have a question regarding engine hours. It seems everywhere you look, people are stating "low hours" with numbers anywhere from 50 to 200+ hours on the engine. My question is at what point is an engines hours at that range where y...
