Are you fishing the tourney Sunday?
I've been down with the flu all week, but I'll be at Piru Sunday.

mark poulson

I thought it was your guide, Mike.

Terry,
Don't take it so personally!

mark poulson

LOL! Of course, that's not really Dave's hat.

mark poulson

The best flouro for the money is Bass Pro Excel Flouro. KVD uses it.
You can buy 1000yds for the same price as three smaller spools of the higher priced flouro, and it fishes the same.

Terry,
A message won't get it! Shake his tree, and get it back up!

mark poulson

Flourocarbon is the only line that lets you detect those tick pickups on a slack line.

Victor, that's not a pretty picture!

mark poulson

Bottoms up!
Just curious, what is the drink of choice for fishermen in Japan?
Here, I'm pretty sure it's beer.

During our morning sign-ups at Lake Casitas last Saturday, some low-life stole the rear seat out of Marvin Barellano's Triton, which was parked in the parking lot. I have a real hard time believing that it was a fellow tournament angler and am more inclined to think that it was some POS walking thr...

mark poulson

Ah, so descu, compai!

I watched Rising Sun last night.

mark poulson

Kelly, Who would want to rip a smallie? :lol: I'm drooling (more than usual). I have short timers syndrom. Come on March 30! I can't wait. I'm thinking about playing hooky this Friday, and going to Casitas. My little one is going to be gone to religious school camp for three days, and I'll be solo c...

Try using softer shoes when you stand on them to stretch them out.

mark poulson

Rob, In a former life, I was intimately aquainted with the scum who do this kind of stuff. 99% are looking for a quick, easy hit. You can't defeat the 1% who have a torch, or a cordless sawzall, but I think the boot will make it a lot less desireable. People put alarms in their houses to discourage ...

mark poulson

Murph, I doubt it's a tourney person. There are tons of low life campers and day scroungers at our public lakes. More than likely one of them. Or, like the crooks who periodically break into our trucks on jobsites. Mainly druggies looking for quick money. Once they find an area with lots of construc...

mark poulson

Gary,
I bought a bunch of your tailspins at the Bass-A-Thon to replace what was stolen.
Are you sure you didn't take my box?

Seriously, I'm still discovering what I'm missing. Theives should die from hemroids.

mark poulson

Congratulations! In the us VS them world, you're back among the us.
Good fishing!

mark poulson

Right, sorry dude, I ain't got Hollywood's or Dave's time ta be on the wires! And the Lord knows I'd bomb at a Q&A, specially with Dobyns holding down that piece for us! But Tony and I are discussing another idea, thanks fer the interest! :wink: I think Tobe's onto something. How about "Co...

mark poulson

Last fall at Casitas, I had a plano box full of spoons and tailspins stolen off the deck of my boat while my club was in the cafe eating after our tournament. I don't leave my boat alone there now without a cover, even to eat. With digital cameras, it shouldn't be too hard to have surveilance of the...

mark poulson

Does Floro line ever "break in" ? Sheez- I had some new P-Line 8# on a light spinning today and the moment I opened the bail it sprang off the spool like it stole somethin' ! It did get better later in the day......... but 1/3ard of it was missing from the reel by then. :lol: If you stret...

mark poulson

Cooch, I had problems with breaking knots with Transition in 6lb on drop shot rigs even though I tied my Palomars slowly and wet. I switched to BPS flouro, and have had no knot breakage problems since. But I only use 6lb. when the water is super clear, and the skies are high and bright. Otherwise, I...

mark poulson

I've used the Palomar for years, and only had a few breaks at the knot. Generally, that's when I've been lazy, and fished too long without retieing. The last time it cost my partner and me a first place in a club tournament. I fish rocky lakes ( :shock: ) so the knot can get beaten up. I went to the...

Before you drill out the heads of the screws, try to put something under them to catch the screw and nut assembly when it falls. It's not good having loose, sharp ended nuts and bolts rattling around in your hull. They can lodge under something, and wear a hole in the fiberglass hull, or move down a...

mark poulson

Dave,
It looks like the wind will be pushing me west to Casitas tomorrow, so I'll be looking for "The Hat".

mark poulson

Will it show where to get those great, salmon-colored camera hats?

mark poulson

It would seem like a perfect fit. BPS already does some T.V. stuff, but a national tournament trail, and all the stuff that goes with it, is a long way from producing a few fishing shows. A successful BASS would surely sell more merchandise. But BPS is already successful, they may figure, if it ain'...

mark poulson

Victor,
I'll get his plug, and you grab his swimbait rod. You're younger and faster.

P.S. The bananas are already hidden in his rod locker. Don't tell him!

mark poulson

Ray,
It's supposed to blow at Piru and Casitas, too.

mark poulson

We had a power surge down here in L.A. around the same time. Weird.

mark poulson

Email it to me.

mark poulson

Hey Ron,
He could start his own minor league club. The Flintstones.
Yaba, daba, dooo.

mark poulson

My partner shore fishes there often, and says it's full of bass. Actually, I think there are three lakes, but I'm not sure.

mark poulson

Funny!

mark poulson

Bones,
That's why people's eyesight at close range starts to fail after 40. It's natures way of giving us a break when we look in the mirror.

How are you feeling?

mark poulson

That's too funny Brian.
Who said potty humor is tasteless?

mark poulson

The Mustad Ultra lock Worm Hook, 38105BLN, is perfect for Senkos and Ikas. The point stays sharp, and the reverse bend hold even the soft plastics almost as well as a hitchhiker.
I like offset hooks for worming, and just open the hook a little to make for a better hookset.

mark poulson

Tom, The lightest (best) Quantum they made was the E600, by far! Too bad they discontinued it. Instead of that cruddy paint job on the plastic parts, they should have made them clear like the Ito from Diawa. Even with the poor finish, they are a great real, and a little over 8oz. When you are throwi...

mark poulson

I'm looking for a pattern, too.

mark poulson

My friend's '04 Ranger with a 115 Opti just broke it's second belt. Does anyone else have one, and are you having this problem?
Rick, he bought the boat from you.

mark poulson

Dave, I'll be fishing Piru Saturday. Casitas will be too crowded with the tourney going on. I fished there the last time they had a tourney there. Boats on every point, in ever nook and cranny. I'm trying to arrange a hookie day next week. I was going to go tomorrow, but I put my boat in for it's an...

mark poulson

Dude,
Where was this magazine three wives ago?

mark poulson

Dave,
She'd have pled confusion, not being able to tell one end from the other.

mark poulson

Rob, We bumped into Dave last Saturday in Deep Cat. My partner said, "Look at that guy. You'd think, if he can afford such a nice boat, he could afford a decent hat." I looked over, figured out pretty quick it had to be Dave with a camera on his head, and gave him a yell. I said, "Hey...

mark poulson

George,
You can try Dr. Bernstein, at (310) 677-9187. He's our vet. I'm taking my dog there this morning.
He's located in Inglewood, near the Forum.
Good, quiet, older guy who knows what he's doing.

mark poulson

If I say I saw Gary D snagging fish on the riprap dam, and it's not true, is it a dam lie?

mark poulson

Respect my flipping stick!
