Just thinking of what's for dinner, seared bovine flesh ?!

IMHO, I think the addition of PG will open things up a bit for Westbrook, he's a more consistent shooter/scorer and better defender than Oladipo. As for Iguodala hearing what other teams have to say, it's the right thing to do. Then everyone knows what his market value is and can make decisions accordingly. I didn't hear anything about Rudy Gay and the Dubs, but did read he was mentioned as an option for OKC. He's coming back from season ending surgery, and teams maybe a little hesitant this early unless it's under the right terms. And Rubio is an interesting situation, and there's no question he's a great passer and a good defender. I think after his time in Minnesota, the brain trust had seen enough. Other than the second half of last season he's only shot for a high percentage from the free throw line unless of course the T-wolves were playing the Dubs. If he has turned the corner and continues to improve as a shooter, then the Jazz made out very well. With Teague's shooting opposing teams have to honor it and play defense more straight up and not help off Rubio. Looks like the 6ers are gonna pay Reddick...

Well Richard, welcome to Bass Resource and the Forums! And to answer your question regarding braided line on my baitcaster, the lightest I go is 15lb without a leader and 30lb with a leader.

PG going to OKC was a good move in the present, and I'm pretty sure all the teams in the East are glad the Cavs didn't get him. Having PG may prevent the type of late game offensive stagnation that took place when Westbrook went to the bench during the Houston series. OKC was able to jettison Oladipo's contract, but had no choice regarding Sabonis being part of the deal. And regarding OKC's ability to retain Westbrook and PG at the end of next season, well that's a good problem to have. I agree Reddick is a good shooter, just curious what you think of the Rudy Gay rumors. The Dubs definitely took care of Curry, locked up Livingston, and are going to be patient as Iguodala tests the waters. I think everyone's gotta agree the NBA definitely keeps things interesting during the off-season

PG to OKC, after Rubio traded to the Jazz, and now Griffin is gonna re-sign with the Clips for 5 and 173 million?! Things are happening and I'm wondering if Boston is going to get something done with Heyward. I was really surprised by the PG to OKC though...

Hello boudroux, sounds like you've got quite a nice trip planned up north. I'm surprised you haven't received more responses, but I'm sure it's due to everyone is out on the water! Folsom should be fun, I haven't been there in 20 years and only caught spots and smallies. As for where to stay and fish the Delta, Terminous is a pretty good choice the northern part of the Delta and I understand the campground is nice. If you want to be a little more centrally located (Franks Tract), maybe check out Sugar Barge and Russo's Marina. Safe me travels and good fishing, JB

Fill it with water and slow roll it, the bass crush it. I've got to agree with Bluebasser regarding the plopper comparison for the same reasons. Looking forward to reading about how he and his dad did

Obviously both are ball dominant players, but only one plays a lick of defense. I kinda have to wonder how much influence the logo had on this happening. The Clips got Beverly, Lou Williams, Dekker, and a 1st round pick. This is just the beginning of the Finals ripple effect and to think it's baseball season... crazy. Oh, Go A's!

Rockets picking up some pieces and the Clippers didn't do to badly as well! And so it begins....

I'd have to agree given the situations involving Melo and Porzingis. I read this morning Phil's wage was 50k a DAY, must be (or have been) nice. With front office shake ups and all the projected movement via free agency and trades, I am looking forward to the fireworks of July as every team will be try to get better.

On da money with those predictions! Just like Carnac the Magnificent!

IMHO, $750 million in "free" money for the Raider to leave Oakland again and relocate in Las Vegas kinda makes this contract easier to do. And congratulations to Derrick Carr and his family...

blckshirt98, what's your opinion of Lexington as far as another potential destination for gunawanfish to try? Also, what's everyone's thoughts on a crappie/ micro jig suspended below a bobber as suggested by WRB given gunawanfish being inexperienced with using bait? Continued good fishing all, JB

Way to go, Dax is a stick!

True dat, but I'm pretty sure John Brodie's son-in-law recently did...

Nice to see the 9ers made the list, as the organization is in the midst of their own "Process"...

Solid fish, Kermie D strikes again!

Congratulations CLH on landing that big, beautiful bass and a personal best! I'd like to commend you for how she was handled during weigh in and release. Good luck in your quest to break your PB, it's definitely gonna be tough but a lot of fun!

I might watch for a little bit, just to to see what personnel moves are made. Should be interesting considering all the front office moves and trades/ trade rumors since the Finals. As for the draft itself, the funny thing is after watching the movie "Draft Day" with Kevin Costner, the Mrs now likes to watch both the NFL and NBA drafts. I look forward to everyone's comments tomorrow after the dust settles. Otherwise, finishing up "Narcos" on Netflix.

Welcome to the Forums JoeZ, another resource would be to give Dave a call at Clear Lake Outdoors. Hope you have a safe and successful trip, JB

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Fathers Day! It's gonna be around 106 today, so the family is taking me out to breakfast this morning. And I'll probably spend the day in the pool and BBQing. Have a great, leisurely day and just curious if anyone got out on the water... My Fathers Day present from my daughters. RIP Pop, Semper Fidelis...

Haven't been to Lake Elizabeth in 25 years and I didn't know how old your nephew was when I posted. If people still feed the ducks there then you might also try a small, salmon egg sized piece of dough on a small hook as well. Again, just trying to get the little guy a chance to catch a fish, because if he doesn't he isn't going to want to go. Our job when fishing with little ones is putting bait on the hook, casting, untangling lines, and celebrating them catching a fish. When they want to go, happily pack up and head to the car...

Gunawanfish, welcome to the Forums and Bass Resource! With a little guy in tow and it appears you live near Fremont, maybe check out Lake Elizabeth of the quarry lakes. Lake Elizabeth did have as I remember bass, crappie, and bluegill as warm water species. I've seen the ponds off of 880, but I've never fished them. Maybe some one else can help you with info on them. As as for a fishing rig, I'd start with the basic float/bobber with a red worm weighted down with a split shot. Maybe bring a bucket so he can look at any fish that is caught before letting it go. I remember those days with my little ones being about a 30 minute excursion. Good luck and have fun, JB

Every holiday that involves family coming together...

Championships; Celtics- 18 Lakers- 16 Bulls- 6 Warriors- 5 (including Philadelphia Warriors) Spurs- 5 BTW, the Celtics, Hawks, Bucks, and Rockets ALL had a "run" in this year's NBA playoffs. In my opinion things are progressing in the right direction, towards a team game with ball movement and defense as opposed to iso ball and the "l'm getting mine" attitude (example: Indiana's blowing of a 25 point lead to the Cavs) of some players. You get get better by playing the best. And as of the last few years, the Cavs (not just LeBron James) have brought out the best of the Warriors and renewed interest in our favorite teams, players, and the league in general. Looking forward to the NBA draft. Funny how the Lakers and Celtics are picking 1 and 2.... Good fishing all. Go A's! JB
