It's the trolling motor bracket. I found it online, Thanks

Ralph

Lowrance Elite 4x DSI. Does anyone have this unit on their trolling motor/ bow? I am ready to buy this...,but need to know what bracket to use. I assume it's the long slender type bracket.

Hello Fellas, For those of you that know Stanton Marine in Ventura off of Stanley Ave, they are closing up shop and selling everything. They will be there until the end of the month which is soon, but they have a lot of stuff for sale, boats, props, electronics, wiring, windshields, trolling motors,...

Ralph

I've been trying the Alabama rig, but having trouble with it swimming upright. I've seen the vid with the guy using his fingers to spread it, but that doesn't work much. I could just paint the head black or white i guess....I've tried the lighter baits on top, heavier on bottom thing. Am I supposed ...

Ralph

Anyone willing to provide any info. on where to fish LC tomorrow. Taking my boy with me and will be looking for trout and maybe bass. Any areas and what lures? Thanks in advance

Ralph

PM me and I'll give you the price they gave me. They charge $100.00 hr, took 2 hrs, but the convenience and turnaround was the kicker for me. He gave me a break on the steering wheel too.

Ralph

UPDATE: My boat was completed by Stanton Marine the same day I took it in and works like a charm! I've never had the steering work this smooth before so it's a new feeling for me with a new steering wheel too!. Just want to say Stanton is a little shop that needs the local work to help them stay afl...

Ralph

Thanks for the info fellas. I'm having Stanton Marine put it back on with the new helm gear and stuff and actually for a very reasonable price too with a great turnaround time like 2 days. I will be amazed with what it will actually feel like to steer a boat with no wrestling :D It was that bad! B.O...

Ralph

I'm replacing my steering cable on my boat and I got it off (kind of a b@#%h too). The cable is now in "extended" mode and is a total of 13 ft. When I order the new one , does it need to be in the "closed" steering position meaning not extended. If it's closed, it's probably 12'....

Ralph

Thanks everyone. I'm going to assume it okay to fish. My buddy has been bugging me to fish it. Should I call fish and game to make sure?

Ralph

Does anyone know if Matilija Lake is legal to fish? I have read several reports saying yes and no.

Ralph

Fans of Skeet can meet him tomorrow from 4-8 p.m. at new Dick's Sporting Goods in Oxnard. I met Skeet at Bass a Thon in Nov. and he said he never fished Casitas because he has Clear Lake. If he could, I would take him. But my boat's a piece of crap. I went to the store today briefly and tried the ne...

Ralph

They're still in Ventura,but moved off of Stanley Ave. You can't miss 'em.Take 101 N. to 33 ramp- off at Stanley.

Ralph

I'm looking for someone that knows how to foil wrap and re-paint a Musky Innovations Seducer. It is currently "glow in the dark" kinda yellowish, but I would like it repainted a nice rainbow realistic pattern. I met this customer at Hyun's tackle shop in Ventura that fishes at Casitas and ...

Ralph

Anyone know where I can buy some preferred plastics cinn/ blu worms? Can't find um anywhere. Thanks

Ralph

Thanks to all of your guys info. I found and fixed the problem. It was a burnt connection wire from the female plug. This morning I hot wired the TM direct to the battery and the TM worked. So, I assumed it was the wiring somewhere. I started at the plug and figured I replace the wiring just to be s...

Ralph

Thanks guys for your info. I'm going to disconnect the TM plug and connect straight to the battery to see if it's the motor or the wiring before I take it in. If it's the motor, probably be looking for a inexpensive newbie. Eric, Thanks for the kind words. It was awesome for us! We couldn't believe ...

Ralph

Trolling motor went out Sat. during a tourney. One of the fuses was blown and I don't know if I have a circuit breaker? Tried replacing batttery, replaced foot pedal switch, replaced fuses, nothing. Anyone know who can diagnose the wiring or the motor itself? Thanks in advance.

Ralph

Hey Eric,
How's the fishing at Casitas lately? Haven't been there for a while.Going this weekend with my kid. Fish moving up?

Ralph

This is what it's all about. Kids enjoying and learning fishing. That's my boy and his friend at Casitas catching bass. We caught and released 5 dinks with trout worms. Boys had a great time... and so did the Mom's!

Ralph

Thank You Rick and staff,
This will be one the best times of my fishing life

I can't wait to spend my money there.

Ralph

Rick,
What day will Skeet be there?

Ralph

Please tell us what days the speakers will be there.

Ralph

I was driving on the 101 North in Ventura this morning about 7 when I saw this boat with two Power Poles and knew this was a Pro.I caught up to get a look and low and behold,Mumbles! He had a black Ranger? with the Evergreen wrap on the side and thought....He can't be headed to Casitas :shock: I had...

Ralph

Rick,
Any updates on the scheduling? What days/times will Skeet, Clunn, Etc. be speaking? Thanks!

Ralph

Rick, Is the day by day schedule set for the BAT yet? I convinced the wifey and kids to make a weekend out of it. We will spend a day at Disneyland (Sat.) and Sunday will be BAT for me and shopping there

. The wifey just wants a good dinner.

Ralph

Thanks Kelly, Glad to hear you have your boat back now.I'm still undecided to leave the lake due to the cost of gas :( My son is playing football now, so my Sat. are going to be busy for the next two months. I swear, not being able to fish for two weeks really feels like a month. Thanks for your inf...

Ralph

Thank You Rick and your family too for putting these together. At times when all you hear is negativity in the news and world,it's nice to have something good to look forward to.You are giving guys like me, who love to fish, the opportunity to meet the top pros in the sport. My wife and kids enjoyed...

Ralph

Can anyone give me some tips on where to fish for catfish at Casitas? I'm taking this friend out Sunday and he wants to fish for catfish. Any info. would be appreciated. I'll be fishing for Bass

Ralph

I am going to pull my boat from Casitas this year and was wondering what the locking systems were for these lakes. I remember hearing that these lakes would honor each other's lock systems. Is that in effect yet? Also, how tough are the inspections at these lakes. I just want to fish other lakes. Th...

Ralph

So I guess you won't be fishing Casitas anytime soon Kelly? What's been the latest? Anyone catching any big fish? I had a great time at Big Bear over the Easter vacation with the family.Please read the Big Bear report I posted,the weather was perfect! I'll be going out Sunday to Casitas and then aft...

Ralph

Good One Kelly

How was your trip to Clear Lake? I'm going to Big Bear for four days at the end of the month. Will be on Casitas Sunday....fishin', not lookin...

Ralph

Do any of you who fish Casitas know if the fish have spawned yet? The reason I ask is because I went out almost every weekend and some days before and haven't seen any big fish. I've only seen a bunch of dinks kinda hangin' around nests, but not really guarding them. I know the weather has been chan...

Ralph

Hey Byron, Went out Sunday and caught 4 bass and 1 trout. The water is slightly dingy in different parts of the lake. Near the marina, the water of course is dirty with debris from runoff floating around with visibility maybe 1-2 ft, but clear in other parts of the lake. The temp. was 57 to 60 in di...

Ralph

The trolling motor is all fixed and ready to go! Going out Sunday, curious what the water is going to look like.

Ralph

My wife says it broke down because I was using it too much!

Hey Kelly,
I've been out a couple of times and have caught some four pounders,but nothing really big. Are you heading out anytime soon? By the way,You didn't end up keeping that sweet Minn Kota you had on the barge?

Ralph

That is a SWEET service!

Ralph

The lower portion of the control box on my Minn Kota EdgeTM broke in four pieces this weekend. I have ordered the replacement part and am wondering if anyone has repaired this before. Will it be a hard task? The whole cable and directional mechanism is popped out of place. Not happy :( considering t...

Ralph

Planning on going to Big Bear for Thanksgiving and was wondering if anybody has any tips for fishing BB from the shore. Not sure my location just yet, but will be a cabin, hopefully lakeside

Thanks in advance!

Ralph

Wow! If you can get Skeet Reese that would be awesome!

Ralph

Hi Rick, I have a 1989 Champion with a Merc. 115 6 cyl. The past few times I have been fishing, my motor has not stayed on after the first choking and starting. It starts with the choke on and revs, but when I take it out of choke to idle, it dies or does not stay on. I removed the cover and saw alo...

Ralph

Anyone know if there is going to be a Bass-A-Thon this year? I went to my first in 2008 and got to meet the man who started it all for me, KVD! Been happily addicted ever since :D The Grovers were super cool to me that day and what a place! I couldn't believe the things I saw and all the pro's I met...

Ralph

I did get to go fishing Friday the 2nd and yesterday. Friday: The very first time I have caught BIG bluegills. I caught four of them and yes I ate them :wink: They were actually very good, and good little fighters too! But I tell you Kelly, I have been after this one freakin' bass that has been expl...

Ralph

I will be there tomorrow morning for four hours 5:30 to 9:30. Little wifey has something planned for me for Father's Day :wink: I wish you all a Happy Father's Day and hope you guys have fun with your new toys. Going on vacation for one week to Vegas and plan on fishing Mead and Sunset Park. Will ma...

Ralph

Vacationing at the end of the month and going to Lake Mead/ Las Vegas. Plan on fishing from the marina shore or around that area. Anyone have any info. on places to hit that will be accessible and what lures to bring? Topwater?...

Ralph

Gonna answer my own question...YES, there is a topwater bite at Casitas! http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab302/Bassinguy/Casitas%20Bass%202010/FrogFishJune62010.jpg Caught this with the Perfect Frog and two others on buzzbait. Very cool. 50 pound braid and pulled up a bunch of slop and and he was...

Ralph

Went fishing with my boys on Memorial day from the shore at Santa Ana ramp. Instinct told me to take my shad stuff ..i.e Net, ice cooler, aerator....And guess what..Shad at the docks! Got a scoop, let the kids scoop 'em up and set up. Saw guys catching 2 -4 pounders so I thought this might be good. ...

Ralph

Anyone been fishing Casitas lately? Should be topwater about now...
