Those are great looking, I would fish them in a second!!! Nice job!!!! Badog

Abu rocks!!!! Great stuff thanks badog

IMHO A long sleeve shirt and pants made of coolmax or some kind of spf protection are way cooler, If I am on the river or Delta all day, I am am much cooler with these clothes on. A wide brimmed hat is a must!! Lots of sunscreen on the ears, neck, face, tops of hands and tops of feet if wearing sandals. Being red headed I am an expert on sunburn. I have not been sunburned significantly in the last 20 years. A friend of mine just got some skin cancer cut out of her nose and ended up with 50 stitches. She has red hair and did not use sun screen but is using it now and preaching at others to use it.

thanks for the info guys. swampland looks like the ticket!!!!!! Badog

I would like to build 2 spinning rods and 1 bait casting rod to throw worms, not Senkos though. Spinning rods will be for friends who took me drift boat fishing on the Green river!! Have been cruising looking for a kit, but getting sensory overload. Can any suggest blanks or kits for worm rod. This will be my first build. I am on a budget due to my wife getting laid off so am looking for biggest bang for the buck!! Thanks for any help!!!!!! Badog

What doesn't kill, Makes you stronger!!!! Good luck with the new rod!!!!! Badog

Go for the LH retrieve, no switching hands , more efficient. I was a little worried about getting LH baitcaster, but after a few minutes feels very natural. Badog

I got a Clarus CSC-70H and Abu Garcia SX HS, I put on 50 lb Power Pro braid. This is my first Bait caster and I was super excited to give it a try, after 15 minutes I could throw a frog 70 feet, I had a few birds nest but nothing to bad. The BC seems much more efficient than a spinning outfit. I cant wait to get it out on the Delta or local rivers and catch some fish!!

Opened the mailbox and my MEGASTRIKE was there!!!! Ordered direct from their web page, fast service no problems. Cant wait to try it out this weekend!!!!!!!!!!! Badog

That was my longest day of fishing 15 miles in 10 hours!! if you ever need someone to fish with on your Pb give me a call, I have been reading all i can and am looking forward to bass fishing this summer!! Badog

Kayak fishing is my all time favorite thing to do!! Check out norcalkayakfishing.com . Badog

Norcal!!! The Delta, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Merced, San Joaquin, Melones, Don Pedro andTulloch are all calling my name. All within 1 hour drive!!!!!!!! Badog

Hit the Tuolumne today near Modesto, it was no love. Any ideas for winter smallies. i caught the same fish all summer, is winter different , techniques lures? Thanks for any help!!! Badog

Face book is goofy at first but gets kind of addicting, dont EVER send me Fleer or hugs. badog

You wouldn't want to miss the Eastern Delta in central Cal, Spring striper run should be going. The Delta is amazing with over a 1000 miles of waterways!!!! badog

Smallie, hook up with North West Kayak Anglers (NWKA) they have a great forum, specializing in kayak fishing. I was up visiting and fished the Tualatin River, This is a made for kayaking river with free launch! I launched my kayak, paddled about 15 feet and an Osprey swooped down and grabbed a Small Mouth out of the water about 20 feet from me. Portland rocks!!!! Badog

I went to BPS in early nov, and they did not have the abu garcia c4 or sx in a L.H model, also did not have any striper trolling lures in stock. the gentlemen said the would get trolling lures in stock in a month. How could you be 10 minutes from ca delta and not have this in stock, and be out for a month during fall striper run. I went to fishermans wharehouse in manteca , which had everything in stock and same prices as BPS, and spent my 300.00 at their store. I feel like BPS is just a glorified walmart, while Delta Bait and Tackle has a full selection of gear with knowledgeable sales staff. I will support the local bait shop with great knowledge of the delta and local fishing waters, with my hard earned dollars Badog

SWWEEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!!! They look great! Badog

Sweet job!!!!!!! My new years resolution is going to be, never by a built rod again. i just bought my first kit from cabelas, and am going to build a fly rod for one of my friends. Great job on your builds!!!!!!!!!!! Badog

Macmaster, the Ca Delta has over 1000 miles of waterways, tons of striper , LMB ,catfish, crappie, sturgeon. The record striper pulled out of the delta is 64 lbs. A guy caught a 70 lb striper out of O'Neil forbay not to long ago. But typical stripers in the delta run 16 to 23 inches, good fishing in the spring and fall striper runs. The Delta is amazing !!!! I love fishing from my kayak, and will fish the delta year round!! Badog

I went striper fishing in Ca Delta for the first time last week. Stripers out of a kayak are a blast, I am hooked, and will be spending much more time in the Delta!!! Macmaster what a huge hog!!!!!! Great fish must of been a kick to land!! Badog
