Outstanding! All the best to you and your now 'expanded' family.

Doc

Finally got the remainder of the Clear Lake pictures from my friend's camera. If you look closely, the crappie jig is visible in each picture. Just for 'grins' we all decided to cast with crappie...

Let me know when you are in Cali and maybe we can sync up for some crappie/bass fishing. You might also consider checking out Lake Berryessa, which will be on the way to Clear Lake from Livermore. ...

The majority were caught using Skip's jigs with Berkley Crappie Nibbles on the hook and "vertical casting", no float. Caught a few with minnows. In both cases, the crappie 'hit' the jig or minnow...

Clear Lake (California) is considered one of the best, if not the best, bass fishing location in the country. When a couple of friends, who both are serious bass fishermen, invited me to join them...

While fishing for crappie Saturday morning, I was somewhat daydreaming when I realized my float has disappeared completely on the third cast of the morning. Suddenly my new rod 'half mooned' and the...

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. In many ways, his is one of the "greatest generations" and their contributions should never be forgotten and always honored.

My dad: WWII -...

I'm back :p!!!! And that is the truth about the Glow Jigs. The blue ones are so deadly that I have only used one of the non-glow jigs Skip made for me. But, that one was a 'killer' also. One cast...

I have been using Skip's Glow Jigs and the fish here love them, especially the blue color. The three crappie on the right in the 2007-06-30 picture were caught in about 30 minutes. Two additional...

The point about popup blockers is also a good possibility. Dependent upon the site, logging in can be a multi-step process and your browser could be blocking a subsequent step and the first login...

What operating system are you using (Windows XP, 98, etc.) and browser (Microsoft Explorer, Firefox, etc.). If you are using Explorer, download and install Firefox...

If we could only 'average' out the lack of rain here and the excess there. It is going to be a scary summer and early fall in the Bay area for fires.

Rainfall during our 'winter' was minimal...

Nope, it definitely was a "left-coast" :p 'resident' at Uvas Reservoir.

Doc

Here is an answer for anyone wondering if we "grow 'em big" here in Northern California/Bay Area :p. This 3.9 lb, 19 inch "monster" was caught by my crappie fishing buddy Julio "Junior" Cardenas on...

"deathb4disco" (I love the username, but it is a little extreme :p) and "erichkopp":

I store the jigs in a plastic bag, generally two jigs per bag. The leader is typically wrapped (loosely)...

It appears the main objection to using a swivel is connecting the lure directly to the swivel and the potential behavior of the lure because of that direct connection as well as the possible...

Caught these two cats while fishing with one of Skip's Glow Jigs. They appear to like them as much as the crappie do :D.

Right after I caught the larger cat, there was a major 'strike' on my...

Actually, my fishing buddy caught a 19", 3.9 pound crappie last Friday at Uvas Reservoir :eek:. I will be posting a picture of it this weekend when I return home.

Meanwhile, here a picture of...

Growing up in Michigan, very near Lake Michigan, I fished almost every week from my pre-teen years to high school graduation. But, after going away to college, followed by the 'world of work', my...

Received your PM, so all is well on my side :D

Headed out now to try the glow jigs for a couple of hours
(must fight the 'responsible' adult that is reminding me of all of the work that clients...

I replied this evening to a PM from you. Let me know if you did not receive it.

Doc

Thanks for the detailed directions. I had planned to head up there Friday late afternoon/early evening, but clients kept the phone ringing until after 5pm.

I will probably grab a couple of hours...

Willing to provide directions and starting location at the site? Would be traveling from Mountain View/Palo Alto.
