Any recommended boat ramp? Just took a quick look at the video and I'm intrigued .

Following up on this question. I'm down here with my bass boat at my uncle's in saint Pete's. Was going to drive to Harris chain but the two hour drive is a bit discouraging. Any advice would be great! Fishinf out of a 18.5' bass boat with a 150, for whatever that's worth.

Thank you so much for the quick replies guys. Will be checking these first thing in the AM. Will let you know how it goes.

Good evening, My 2002 Mercury XR6 is sounding the overheating alarm (continuous beep) immediately after turning the key (regardless as to whether or not I crank it over). I feel this has to be a false alarm as the engine is literally at the temperature of the great outdoors (makes the sound before even being run). Tried running it for 10 minutes to see if it would quit to no avail. Any Ideas? Where on the outboard is the temperature sensor that controls this alarm? Perhaps this is just faulty? Thank you a bunch for any help in advance!

Why not ram mount to the dek-it? seems like it'd be the best of both worlds

OK I'm looking at two different harnesses to create a tow attachment point behind my outboard, here are the options both have been mentioned here was hoping someone may have experience with both. Airhead Heavy Duty Tow Harness OR Airhead Tow Demon Ski Tow Harness Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks!

Specifically any swimbaits y'all recommend?

So anything I should make sure I stock up on before I head out to san diego? i was going to bring some swim baits i've got that I'll never have a chance to throw otherwise, and then some of my favorite bed baits anything in particular i shouldn't forget or work well out there? I was just going to throw a white jig and a lizard at the beds

Thank you for the responses guys. I'm definitely going to try and get out to diamond valley but i'm afraid that I'd have to hire a guide, which would be a stretch for me with my college student income. Looks like I'll be trying my hand at Dottie Jr at Dixon for the most part. If anyone has any further advice I'll be checking in all the way up until (and during) my trip, and I'll post back with any reports I have. We'll see how a Potomac River basser will fair out on the west coast.

I was hoping someone may be able to give me some advice on what lakes to focus on and more or less what will the bass be up to that time of year (pre, spawn or postspawn? Never been to california before so have no idea what to expect. My brothers in the navy so i'll be on my own for the first 3 or 4 days of the trip. Heard dixon rents little jon boats and its small so figured that'd be an alright spot to start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Or if any of you have an open seat and want gas covered shoot me a PM.

Happy new years San Diego Bassers, I too will be headed to SD to visit my brother for the first time in a long time (Navy doesn't give much leave apparently). Anyhow if anyone would happen to have an open seat March 5th-13th and would want to take me / us out (think i'm going to be on my own for half the week as he can't get a full week off) that would be amazing. Also does anyone recommend any guides in the area, I know taking two out is a lot to offer so guide may be the better bet. Happy New Years everyone.

Fishindaddy coming through again, took me out during my 6 month internship down there and definitely taught me a thing or two that helped me throughout the rest of my time down there. Thanks again Fishindaddy and enjoy your time down there BMH...hopefully it'll be a better january than the freezing one of last year

i heard some ramp talk of some guys saying the musky were hurting the population, i've also heard that the snowy winter messed it up somehow

Hey whats happening out on the Pot? Been down at Va Tech for a while now been missing the river, will be out Monday and Tuesday most likely with an open seat also most likely PM me if interested.

Hi I was wondering if anyone with knowledge of or personal experience has installed a recessed trolling motor foot pedal mount on their ranger 185. My marina is unsure whether or not doing this would put at risk the strength of the boat or something, so i'm trying to do the research for him and give him the go ahead.
