Wow very sad news is right. I met Dave on Casitas a few years back and he was a great guy and very creative to come up with his bait. I caught some fish thanks to his advise on the water. Dave you will be missed.

Hey all,
I have the same request but near the 805 area code, I'm in Santa Barbara. I have a Motor Guide and it is draining my battery fast, makes for a short day. Thanks for your info.

That sucks! I know the felling, had all my sticks stolen 2 years ago. Hope they get who ever the A-hole is.

I was throwing buzz baits a lot Wed with nothing. Any help on the buzz bite would be appreciated. Caught some on worms, texas and carolina rigs.

Way to go Shaun! I was lucky enough to be in his boat at Casitas for HBC-1 so I'm not surprised he could find a big one at Clear Lake.

Is Clear Lake a state?

Same here Ron thanks for your time and efforts.
Nice post too Guy.

Nah, bag on them.

So the 17 of us are left holding our "rods" in our hands with no where to cast

I did not see your post on this when I put up mine. I think there is something other than Quaggas going on at Westlake. Why can the resident boaters putt around drunk, bumping into others and we can't fish?

Well the madness continues, Westlake just closed their lake to the 17 fishing boats that are permitted to launch there at $500 annual permit. The boats that are docked($6000 annually) on the lake can fish but no outside boats allowed. From a Westlake employee we were informed that it is due to the Q...

You stand in the rain all day watching a pro fish for $10,000 and not fish at all... when can I sign up again

Put a strip of a towel through the night before and it wicked some water out, then wiped it dry in the am. Going to get a wet/dry vac this week.

Got in Sat and Sun. I asked some questions as he inspected and found they are going to open a gate just for boat inspections. Not sure how many Rangers will be inspecting boats, but they have some kind of plan to make things better :? or not. The Ranger did not say when will happen but by the way he...

Went out today and had no trouble with the inspection. I spent most of Saturday cleaning and was ready for the worst. It was nice to hear the Ranger say "looks nice". Now I have a gauge on what to expect next time... I'll be ready for them :? The inspections are as tough to figure out as t...

Shaun,
Go get a bunch like(or bigger)than the one I saw you catch at HBC. Good Luck!

What number do you call to get on the list?

Fishing has turned out to be very risky business these days

I agree, what a great time! I fell into a VTO spot the night before and wanted to thank Sean James for getting in touch with Ron C to make it happen. As it turns out I got a great guy and fisherman Shaun Bailey. I had never fished with him as a guide but I got a full lesson yesterday. Shaun had no p...

Lucked out today and got to fill in for an observer that could not make it Friday. It is going to be something....I can't wait and I'm just watching. I am now a full NUTCASEjavascript:emoticon(':shock:') See you all at O-Dark:30

As an adopted person way to go! Show him how to hook the big ones.

It was my first time going and overall it was a fun show. Lots of great new equipment and all the pros I dealt with were very receptive. Went lookng for a deal on a spinning rod and reel, thought I found one at the Quantum booth. Buy a new reel get the rod free, picked out my reel went to stand in l...

Perfect call Vinny.

Anyone have some tips on how that bait is fished? It moves nice but must move it fast to get the best action. Just did a modification on my 9" Castaic Swimbait hope it works will see on Tuesday at Casitas. Anybody else going out tues?

Been a nutcase for awhile glad it's official now!
