I have tried this experiment with several different clothing configurations. I am 6ft and 175, fit with low body fat. It was July and I was in my pool (which is a salt water pool which actually adds some buoyancy) It was daytime and I entered the pool about 6/7 feet from the edge. I jumped in to dup...

Humminbird has the best customer service this side of tackle warehouse. The SI units are fantastic. When they realized people wanted downscan capabilities, they wrote the software and provided it FREE. The HB route gives you the best SI tech, (W/downimaging), the best customer service and at a cost ...

No one from Casitas is going to fish a Castaic tournament. They can't. No one from Castaic is going to fish Casitas. They can't. Thus there is no "loss" to either tournament by having them on the same day. The only thing that hurts the tournament turn-out is the ridiculous Casitas ban. Fra...

Am I missing something? How could a Casitas tourn, conflict with any other tourn? Casitas guys lake locked. Are people really willing to put their boat in quarantine for ten days on a regular basis to fish at Castaic or any other local lake?

Or you could consider one of the several SI units from Humminbird. They are all one unit/one transducer and you can easily install yourself. Humminbird now has downscan as well, which was merely a FREE software upgrade from Humminbird. I would highly recommend the 997/998 which can be purchased for ...

Actually I'm looking for a TV screen without the GPS or waypoints or anything else, just as big a picture of the bottom as I can get.

adman

Because of old age, I want a larger screen on the bow. I have a Humminbird 997 at the helm and 787 on the bow which I only use for the chart/waypoints from the 997. So I don't need gps but I need a bigger screen to replace the older Lowrance x35 at the front. It seems the big screens are all gps'd a...

A very thought provoking article. Thanks for posting.

We old guys know true friends should NOT remind us of our birthdays. That said people are already wishing me a happy bday and it's not until the first, so turnabout is fair play. HAPPY BIRTHDAY old man.

Thought it only right to follow up with a response from Wright McGill regarding the issues I pointed out. So go ahead and ask Santa! Dear Bill, I really appreciate your email and I want to assure you that your input and happiness with this product is very important to us. Let me address each point. ...

As I mentioned I have not looked at all SR rod models. I got this one about 3 months ago and they may have made prod changes since then. Iguess one can look for the things I mentioned and decide for oneself. I probably will contact the manufacturer but the thought of packing up and sending a rod bac...

adman

In case some of you are asking Santa for one of these rods I thought I had better give my experience with one. It is the Carolina/Swim Bait model. I don't think my issues would be different for other models as they are fundamental in nature. I also preface the comments with 'this is only one rod', m...

Put me down for an entry in the Castaic Cachuma division. You pick the person. Let me know where to send the check.

Have any of you read the Tackle Tour test of FC? It is interesting and a bit disturbing because it is contrary to much of what we think about FC. I don't know much about the folks at Tackle Tour but they seem honest if nothing else. Clearly they are not "scientists" but they do real world ...

Unless you're throwing billed swimbaits to get that crankbait wobble, the action of most swimbaits and cranks are totally different. In my opinion, they are closer to replacing blades than cranks.

I suppose if you want to end up with 2 sets of rain gear then get insulated for the extremes of winter fishing. But "generally"you will be pretty warm (read sweating like a pig" ) under the most likely winter/rain conditions in SoCal and even NoCal. I have a snowmobile suit which I us...

Buying a used one is a good idea. I have been using both for years. When I first started fishing it was with a spinning reel so left hand was normal for me. I was casting normally with my right hand...seemed odd to have to switch. I used to laugh and call right hand reels left hands because switchin...

Next time you are out fishing, don't forget to wave to Ziggy, he's the one standing on the shore with no friends, no fish and no clue.

adman

Great looking vehicle. I wondered if those models wouldn't become the next suburban. Anyway, don't you think the tours guys back east tow those kind of numbers (or close to it) in any given month. I guess I wouldn't sweat it.

adman

Casitas is a great lake still to this day! the number of BIG bass are hard to get to bite now days but they are there. its a LOT of work and you have to think outside the box to get them into biting now days. try new techniques...i have found that the more you try new things the more these big bass...

I purchased 2 Kistler from these guys on ebay. At huge price reductions. They arrived, are perfect in every way and the money saved was used to buy a Fuego reel for 115 NIB on ebay. The Simmonsports people seem first rate. I'd have no concerns.

When the same happened to me I tried several approaches, including using the underwater camera...no luck. But in researching the problem I thought this was ingenious. Use an old-fashioned metal stringer, open all the hooks, maybe add a bit of weight and if you can get it to loop, sort of like a &quo...

Just read the Tackle Tour article on TW...no wonder they are so good. They really have a well-oiled, tech based system. Well thought out and executed. Thanks for the point to Tackle Tour.

adman

I have been so impressed with TW I would really like to know more about "The guys responsible for making TW what is today," it sounds like you know the background and perhaps you could PM me (so we don't eat up this thread) what you know. Thanks

If you want the best of all worlds, Tackle Warehouse. SUPER friendly, helpful staff, unbelievable response, inventory, shipping...you name it they are the best.

adman

Yeah. I quit fishing too, for almost 10 years,. Guess what? I am now tackle warehouse's biggest customer, looking for a team partner and spend all my evenings in the garage, leaning against the boat trying to figure out the next great technique/bait. Once it is in your blood, you have to die to get ...

adman

Would someone PLEASE...PLEASE! buy bassindon69's @#%@$#^ boat so he will quit hijacking EVERY thread on this board! Now to your original question: You will be much happier with a used glass boat than a new aluminum on the Delta. No question about it. There is no reason to fear transom problems if yo...

Sadly I have not caught a fish with mine yet but they do cast/run great!

adman

It might depend a bit on where he bought the rods. Tackle Warehouse has been very good (as usual) helping with this issue, and you are not the only one suffering this. I have 2 and am keeping my fingers crossed. See if you can find out where he bought them while asking for the receipts. If the rods ...

adman

If you do decide to parse these elements please let me know. I have a boat (or 2) but NEVER enough tackle.

adman

That's too bad. What is it going to take to get that lake back to where it belongs. I was thinking about going up in a week or two best launch recommendations?

adman

Did Clear Lake come up much with this last storm? Someone told me Naciamento (sp) came up 19 feet in 2 days. Hoping Clear Lake did as well.

Sperry Top-Sider Men's Cold Weather Fathom Boot

I think you would be better off selling all your tackle as one item and the boat as a separate item.

If you have been thinking, as I have, that perhaps it actually will rain this year and the rain gear that has been rotting in the garage from disuse should be replaced...here are some observations. I bought BPS 100MPH, Cabelas Guidewear and BPS Pro Qualifier. 100MPH = $530 PQ = $380 GW = (ON SALE) $...

adman

Oops. Got my weekends confused. Thanks.

adman

Does anyone know the outcome of this, who won the boat, how bad the wind was...etc?

adman

Doug,
I've been killing them at Casitas the last couple of days. Things are really turning on !!!

...Caporuscio...

adman

It appears to me that Ish is paired with someone named Sniffen and Davis is paired with Caprucio.
