you might try a private lake called oso. its in the foothills of lake forest, santa margarita area. when i lived in orange county it was $500 a year to fish there

looking for a large lake or resivior to live within 10 minutes . also need lots and lots of public land for upland bird hunting opportunities. I know Nevada, Idaho, Arizona and New Mexico fit the bill on the hunting but not sure about a large body of water to fish from. Any tips and or advice????

too bad the peacock bass in south america wouldnt work for you

the side image looks nice but does it really matter if your speculating what the structure is with 2 d vs. know what it is with side image? either way i would want to fish it and see what its worth? comments?

mine works in the lite hydrilla but if your trying to get thru the thick matted stuff forget it. in open water the hydrilla prop is much slower. there was alot of feedback that this prop can only be used on the digital tm. i called motor guide to confirm this and it doesnt matter what they told me.

there is a lot of hoopla in texas about Hendrix rods. custom made for around $150. i dont own one yet but the research i have done it is a top notch rod

i havent read the book so i find it hard to imagine that i will change my opinion about the guy. i cant stand him. to boil it all down i feel that anyone who is in the spotlite has to conduct yourself above and beyond. actions speak louder than words

do you have any females that are just as serious as you about fishing??

i have the pro series and the alignement indicator is off by 90 deg. the manual shows an adjustment for this on the foot pedal but i dont have this adjustment in the same spot. any advice??

it looks like they dont carry the Avids anymore. what the logic in that??

what are the pros and cons of each. minus the side imaging. thats out of my price range. paticularly on a unit to mount at the drivers console

this is my weakest link. thanks. what is the theory on manual over auto?

i have all baitcasters. mostly shimano reels. one diawa. how can i be asured it is ok to use any of my reels in saltwater? i will be wading for redfish and will try very hard not to submerge my reel in salt but if i do will it have to be completely disassembled or just rinsed. any input. seems like alot of people use the older green curados for salt. but really how so you know before hand .

doesnt the time of day dictate if bass are still in a feeding mode to be chasing shad? how about summer versus fall. in fall are bass in a constant feeding mode most of the day chasing shad all day long? so if you find a hump outside of the feeding times do you concentrate on reaction type lures only? or will bass still be at humps at all outside of feeding times

for me hands down was Get Smart. what a classic.

the reason i ask is i have a lowrance X52 up front and a lowrance flasher at the driver console. i want to know what i am missing. i dont want something that is just a bunch of bells and whistes and will take me 3 months to learn how to use it. i want something that is going to be easy to read and understand without all the xtras that i will probably never use. i have a seperate hand held GPS. I believe in KISS! keep it simple stupid. also how do you know what your getting unless you see the unit in action? i really liked how the Hummingbird side image show on TV shows it being put to use. but thats the only one i have seen in action .

and where? next to the drivers seat or next to the trolling motor or both. what are your likes and dislikes

using this for the sake of discussion lets say last weekend you notice some fishermen catching fish off shore. you stop say 100 feet from them to get a GPS coordinate. The following week you come back to the same spot and try to locate that single brush pile in 15 feet of stained water. typically how long would it take you to locate that brush pile on your sonar??? what kind of electronics are you using ?

not related to fishing or that thing you do with your spouse. for me its watching a big running pointer or German Shorthair lock up on a point.

i congradulate you for all the research you have done before you made your first cast! you really grabbed the bull by the horn. where are you at in Houston? i am in Magnolia so if you want some ponds to fish to get your confidence up on catching fish i can give a few in my area. its tough to go to a public lake and start catching fish when you are starting out.

i like to fish docks on a high pressured lake. when homewoners are operating lawn equipment, chainsaws, circular saws, etc how do you find the noise effects bass on an already high pressured lake with pleasure boaters and homes all around it? what is your rule of thumb when its too noisey to move elsewhere?

if you see someone fishing off shore structure do you take a gps read close by and come back another day to look for it? how much of your off shore structure have you found this way

i dnot seem to hear about this much. why look for structure in deeper water if low oxygen is an issue. then again how do you know if there is low oxygen. is it common .

i am assuming that shimano has a big problem here and with all the returns going back to BPS i would thiink BPS would go the extra step and try to help with the problem. this sounds like an unusual issue so in order to keep customers happy an unusual effort needs to be made. under normal circumstances of course this kind of request wouldnt happen

i dont see why not. i am sure they like cabelas has a team of people that are testing new products to see that it is worthy of selling under there name. at least they arent going out in the blizzard to test the latest clothing for deer hunting like they have to do for that line of product.
