This is not really a fishing report, but more of just an interesting photo of the color of some of the Bluegill that can be caught at my local lake here in southern California. Lake Perris was stocked with Florida "coppernose" Bluegill back in the mid 1970s, after the dam was completed and the...

I am thinking of putting a 2005 Minn Kota Endura trolling motor (36lbs. of thrust), that is like new, on my lightweight 12 ft aluminum boat to use as my main motor, instead of an outboard. My local fishing lake is about 3 miles long and 2 miles wide. I probably won't go very far to get to my...

I am the original owner of this motor that has been in storage since 1997. Prior to that, it was used just a couple times each year. I'm going to clean the spark plugs, put fresh gas/oil in the gas tank and see if she'll still run as good as she did 14 years ago. I plan on putting it on my old...

Going through some old storage boxes today, I found an old gem of a reel that I had forgotten about. This baitcaster is rated for 4 to 8 lb test line and I had it spooled with Maxima 4 lb test, and I was using it for bass fishing with live crawdads. I bought it new way back in 1978, and at...

I have a 1972 Evinrude 4 hp "Lightwin" thats in pretty good shape, that I will be working on soon, but I want to clean out the inside of the 3 gallon gas tank that came with the motor. Is there a chemical or carb cleaner that I should put in the tank to help clean out the old fuel and oil deposits?

While fishing from my float tube for Bluegills on Lake Perris, Ca, I caught this, my personal best crappie on a 1/48 oz hand-tied jig/waxworm and 2 lb test line. Thought I had a lake record Bluegill on my line, but it turned out it may have been a record crappie, but I release it after taking a...

I recently caught this 2 lb BG at my local fishing lake, Lake Perris on a tiny hand tyed jig and cricket. Several years ago they planted Florida "coppernose" Bluegills in the lake and they have grown quite large. The Redears and Black Crappie also get big in this fertile lake.

Hi everyone. I'm a new member from southern California. I've got an older boat that I have had since 1969, when I bought it new from K mart for under $200. It's made by K-kraft and is a 12 foot long and the transom is about 45 is about wide. It had some tiny pinhole leaks that I fixed by...
