Don’t run east of the 21 bridge unless you know where you’re going lots of big ass timber right in the middle. There’s also timber in the main lake but it’s clear if you run down the middle of the channel

Don’t even think about it. When it feels right grip it and rip it

That don’t even scratch the surface for that god forsaken place. Hence the mass exodus.

You have any pay out structures for your tournaments ?

Interesting I have a brecknell (not the mlf badged one just the og I guess) and it’s been accurate on the money for the last 5 years. But I baby it and don’t let it get wet. I just ordered my tournament scales. Should be in soon.

We’ll do optional big bass 10$ buy in. What scales does your club use ?

What’s a good pay out formula for a local tournament 100% payout 1 spot paid for every five entries. 30$ buy in. How would the pay percentage adjust for every additional paid place. example 100% for 1 paid place (bad turn out) 70/30 for 2 paid places (10-14 entries) 60/40/20 for 3 paid places (15-19 entries) Etc. does anyone have a good proven method ? I’m gonna start putting on a working man’s and want something that’s fair and that works.

Nope never been caught but I’ll come clean here. Actually I don’t wanna get cancelled but it was 100 percent not intentional.

Yup you’re right. I had to use a hydraulic press and a set of bearing dies. Took me about 15 mins. A little research and the right tools. I understand not everyone has access to the correct tools or it wouldn’t have been possible.

Not really especially if I can properly” do it myself.

Has any one ever removed one successfully. I spun my first hub. Can’t get the hub out. Broke a 1 inch chrome socket used a spacer trying to knock it out with a 2 pound sledge hammer. Guess I’ll have to take it to some one with a press. Prop shop said he’d do it for 107 bucks for parts and installation. But I can buy the hub kit for 50 and do it myself if I can.

I’ve only had Yamahas. Because I’ve only owned skeeters. And they’ve been bullet proof vmax 150 carbed 1000+ hours sold it to a buddy still running strong. ox 66 200hp. Was pretty much bulletproof. 225 sho it’s been flawless Key is don’t let them sit and keep up on the maintenance

Do the curado greenies count? I use them still. I’ve got my poppas Shakespeare Presidentials on old school pistol grips. I’ll take them out to the back yard pond just to have a spiritual moment with him again.

I stick with rods that have good return policies for this reason. Dobyns has excellent customer service. And local.

Man It’s probably not the reel. Practice practice. I’m not a proponent of high tech braking systems to control the cast. I believe your thumb is the best cast control. I have the exact same set up for frogs btw. Down to the line. Don’t over fill the spool. Stop before the bevel

Wish I would have been born about 25 years earlier so I could have been a young man when lake fork opened and had its glory years. Maybe bois de ark will give me that chance

For durability I’ve had bad luck with got 5 and terminator.

736. I just regret buying the green one at the time.

My favorite rod of all time is the extreme hp 784. Even better than my nrx. Honorable mentions to the DX HP 746 (ultimate lake fork rod) the whole champ CB line up is great. I own 702 733 734 736 714 745 x2 784 x2 764cb 804cb 805cb 806cb 794sb The 867 will handle these just fine. Not too much rod for a 6 inch hud. In fact the 867 will launch a spro frog a country mile. Ask me how I know.

The bantam is a pure caster.

Man idk probably just bad luck or small fish that ain’t got it down all the way. But seem to me everything is bout right.

Would you drive a nice truck pulling a 50 thousand dollar sparkly newer bass boat around to all the best lakes in Sinaloa? Especially with U.S. plates even if you aren’t looking to trouble or any illegal activities wouldn’t you have a target on your back.
