Last year while fishing the delta the subject of craws only turning red during the digestive process was discussed. Not 5 minutes later a bright red craw comes crawling out of the tules onto the mud at low tide and plops into the water. That ended the theory of red due to digestive juices.

lots better today and I can even read the threads. Somebody must be paying attention to our complaints about the flashing adds. Thanks for your attention. Ken

It is not easy on the eyes. I'm not getting used to it either.

ken

It is only cheating if an attempt is made to gain an advantage over the other competitors.
For example if you keep 6 fish and one is dead and then weigh the five live ones.
All this being said it is darn easy to lose count if the bite gets hot.

Are there any problems with using automoble clear coat paint on a bass boat?

ken

Dan, please reconsider this move as I have got accustomed to your good, quick and reasonable service. It's hard to find that type of service anywhere. Ken

ken

I had the same problem years ago and found that the cork oil level float got oil soaked and would sink instead of floating. The cork is originally resin coated but deteriorates with time.

I had a big suprise this week while

putting on my life vest. The co2 bottle had came unscrewed and fell on the floor of the boat. I plan on checking the bottle from now on and suggest you do the same as I doubt it would function well when in a loose position.

ken

Anyone rode in a bass boat with hydraulic seats and how well do they work?

ken

yes, that maybe true Smitty but who says he didn't add a pound or two.

ken

Good job Clifford and stay on a roll and win the Forrest wood on the 5th.

ken

I get those very same caps from Sunnys electric marine in Sacramento. 916 487 3868. He will mail them the next day.

ken

I see guys flying under these bridges all the time without considering maybe there is a log hung up to the pilings. The wreck would be way worse than bird droppings. Think about it !!!!

ken

I think you are over doing it. I have used 65 braid and no problems. Also used the titanium leaders which is a lot simpler. See what the guides in the area recomend when you get there.

ken

Pull out the amount of old line you want to remove down the driveway, street etc. Next pull out the same amount of new line on the ground to the same stopping point. Cut the line and hook it up to the backing and reel it on the spool. Simple and it works everytime.

ken

I'm confused, was the tournament results here from this weekend?
If so I'm impressed as I was out friday and sure didn't have that that kind of weight.

ken

It is you. I thought it was the very best, espn show. Not all the weigh in stuff and just great shots of excellent fishermen doing their thing. Again great job.

ken

What kind of box or container do you find works best to store swimbaits in the boat?

Jeff, You still can't go over 8# on spinning equip

ken

Suggestion. Call ahead as the good guides are booked. Maybe in these times it is different.

In past threads, there have been pictures posted of bass boats being converted from a small deck to full deck. I'm planning on doing my 1988 393 Ranger to a full deck. I would appreciate recommendations from others who have done this conversion. Like materials used, plans and problems encountered. A...

If you have any compartments close to your cut beware. There is a lip on the edge and you could open a hole into the compartment. It almost happened to me on a Ranger. +1 on the measuring. However Your back will love you for the installation.

ken

It is a great challenge to outsmart a green fish in their world and never gets boring. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but you always look forwards to next good time on the water.

ken

Thanks split172 should have known it was on Sunday thanks Ken

ken

It was my understanding the clearlake FlW NG Tournament held in Oct was going to be shown on versus this Sat. at 9:30 but it isn't listed. Do I have the wrong dates? Big limits the last day and should be great to watch the top 10 catch those fish. Anyone know when the show will be aired? Ken

ken

Also way to go Pirch, most don't remember he won the open in 2007 . I back seated with Clifford and he is a super guy and a real stick.

ken

No hurry, they will put it in your next issue of won bass

ken

Bearings are the same but the marine seals are double lipped.

ken

Call Dan at Reel ex. Does a good job, quick service and reasonable. 650 454 4938

ken

Lugnut, Good job, How did you fasten this extension down to the boat hull? I too have talked about doing this but talking doesn't seem to get it done. Ken

ken

Yes lyle has moved to woodland and now has set up to be mobile in addition to his shop. His phone is still 209 570 6634

I don't care how sharp they are, once they get in the rocks it is throw away or sharpen, and how do you do that with a multi- sided hook. Sorry kb just another negative thought but this price is over the top.

ken

Forget it right now until the dreaded weeds come back. Another bright idea by F&G to poison off the weeds.

ken

Use some brown tubes on rocky island tops with light line.

ken

492 slayer, You wouldn't happen to have some pictures of your work as it progressed. Ken

ken

Does anyone have plans for converting a Ranger 393 to a full deck. Ranger informs me they no longer have the additional sealed compartments used in the past for this 1993 Ranger boat to make it a full deck. Thanks Ken

ken

Jim, What brand of boot and tent water repellant do you use. I have used Scotchguard on Omega rain gear but it didn't work plus had a very strong smell. Now we just need some rain!!!

ken

Fished out of north shore today and had no problem at all launching and didn't spin a tire. Stay next to the dock and there is no problem, but there is some sand on the outer lane. You don't even need to get the truck tires off the pavment to go in or out with a 393v.

ken

Thanks for the answers, looks like guidewear is for me.

ken

I just got the mid winter cabelas sale catalog and need your opinon of which is the best of the two raingear jackets carried by cabelas. The dry plus $159 or classic gore-tex guidewear $149
Thanks Ken

ken

try UFP in San Marcos 619 744 1610

Tournament this weekend?

ken

No problem with regular treated wood because most marine carpeting has a rubber backing. Remember if you drill holes to re- treat that area before installing the carriage bolts. The wood is not treated all the way through. Some use wood screws but not me.

ken

Anybody else having problem with the quick time pop up appearing when clicking unto the forum or is it just my computer??
How do you prevent it from popping up??????

ken

TDawg, I never take it out of overdrive unless in the hills. Make sure you have a tranny cooler and if not install one. Change the transmission oil as recommended in the owners manual for rough service if you tow a lot.

ken

I just use the bunk enders that help mainly in low water ramps but effectively prevents wear on the bunk pad.

ken

Bring a camera because you will never see much prettier place to fish. Rocky shorelines, tules,catails,lilly pads and yes docks. They have several nice places to eat on down town main. There should be no problem with motels.
