Dave, we fished artificials.

I'm keeping it quiet till after this weekend. then I will spill the beans.

When fishing the bama rig I prefer a slower 5:1 ratio reel for fishing it deeper and slower...helps the rig stay deeper better. But if I want to toss a smaller and lighter rigs I use the 6:1 reels. It's all preference.

maybe they should do a reverse inspection. inspect the boat on the way out!

Elite 7x, is a Down Imaging unit. It will give you the pics downward only. If you are looking for a side scan you would need a different graph.

great job Poolboy!!!!!!!!

elfish16

old thread but great. my old man and I fish ONLY our own home made double buzzers. Make them the colors you want and size and all that. We've adjusted and fine tuned them to how different lakes around here like them. MUCH cheaper and like it's been said, catching fish on homemade baits is the BEST t...

i have gone down and went through the Anglers Inn on the lake. it was by far the best I have ever been treated at any fishing resort I have been. The guides are great and the service is amazing at the resort. Fishing was fantastic as well.

I was raised with the following , "your either a part of the problem , or a part of the solution" , your choice . If everybody that claims to "LOVE " bass fishing so much , maybe getting involved is the answer , complaining is pointless -----get involved . Robb Well i know my ol...

Mark, sadly, if these other local lakes get the mussel I wouldnt be shocked if they put a lake like Casitas on 6 month quarantine. :roll: We all might be on a black list as well as some counties already will have anyone from certain counties on the list. lets see what happens. it's only a matter of ...

elfish16

and with the water levels that stay SO consistent at Castaic and Pyramid, its hard to tell if there are mussels there as nothing is drying up. I pray they aren't infested as it would cause even more problems.

elfish16

well what sucks now is if you fish ABA you have to KNOW you will be out of commission for a month plus to get back on the lake. it's a joke!

elfish16

Casitas water district cares about their water output and what would happen if it was destroyed by the mussels. it's ridiculous they are taking these measures. they aren't going to stop mussels if they are to get in the lake. A bird can take a dump and then its started!

elfish16

Casitas water is directly fed from rain water and snow melt from the Los Padres National forest. There is NO delta water feeding Casitas. CASTAIC and Pyramid are fed from the aquaduct.

elfish16

Well then I guess the guys that fished Piru and then went back to Casitas may have done the same thing. It's only a matter of time man. The clean and dry only temporarily prevented the inevitable. Isn't there a fish or some other creature that eats these things? There's gotta be. The issue that I n...

I've held one of these baits...they are incredible looking!

elfish16

If you'd like to find quaaga mussels in any of these lakes simply take 4 tires stacked on top of each other tied up and drop into lake by launch ramp in 20 feet of water with a marker buoy , let them ferment for 2-4 weeks remove and inspect. I'll bet there even in Casitas. Has any agency done this,...

elfish16

You are a stick Aldo, hope you get a partner to fish with. I have a feeling the first couple Casitas derbies will be a SMALL field with the 10 day gone.

elfish16

Im a non-boater looking to fish this circuit. I have experience and willing to split costs. Please see my post in the find a partner section under the interactive tab or PM me if interested. Thanks. -Aldo you are too good for the Top Stick circuit. :wink: Hope you find a boater man!

elfish16

it was only a matter of time! sadly..I'd not be shocked if all the lakes around here follow suit

elfish16

we will see if the other lakes will follow suit and tighten down a bit on their inspections. I have a feeling a lot of guys didnt get inspected in time for the Casitas circuits starting in a week or so.

elfish16

just means the lifeguard boat hasn't moved in a LONG time and its been brought in for a while. The Piru inspections were pretty sad if you ask me.

Casitas just automatically went to 28 quaratine for ALL boats that leave. 10 day is gone.

elfish16

I use the under armour gloves that KVD uses. They are very light weight and easy to fish with. They keep the wind off so you aren't as cold.

VC Star also confirmed it. Should play interesting in the future of fishing in the vacinity!

elfish16

Stay off Casitas to all yall!

Hahahaha!!!

It's low guys, but I've been fishing this my entire life, 30 years and I've seen it lower and it filled up. Sadly, without rain we are in WAY worse shape. But now I'm fishing totally new stuff in the lake and its super fun.

elfish16

Basically, you need a longer, med. heavy rod with a moderate or med. fast tip. Something that's rated for 1-4 oz. I use a 7'9" Irod A rig special that I got on sale at Tacklewarehouse. I have a good friend who swears by his 7'8" Jr. Swimbait rod. To me, they are almost exactly the same an...

elfish16

in the 15+ years of swimbait fishing its a lot about angles. You need to find the angle where the fish seems the prey(your swimmer) will get away. For me its usually been all about fishing uphill. if that baits heading to the bank its a pinning position so they feel the bait wont leave. As far as re...

Eric...10 inch Basstrix...where does a guy find one of those? unfortunately with the release of the paddle tail swimmers by Basstrix, they decided to stop production on the original 6, 8, 10" baits. It was a brutal day for me as its ALL I used to throw. If you find one jump on it... I'm still ...

elfish16

couldn't tell you why because I won't do it! I have spent $75 for a bait and felt dumb doing it. I think its an addiction like a lot say. I am not one to spend that kinda coin on a swimmer... never have and never will. Myself, I've been able to use the $10-30 dollar baits my entire career and catch ...

elfish16

Mike, I think you took the words away from me. good Ole Mason was the man back then. His house is like a freaking museum of toads on the old swimmers and jigs. Him and Jay Carter back in the 70s and 80s were unstoppable!!!!!!!!!!!

elfish16

It's a situational thing for me. I love to use this when the fish are DEEP and inactive. I will check a spot when it seems they should be there... ususally those fish appear once I turn it on.

elfish16

Wonbass teams are casitas, so cal and i think the delta and that's it.

elfish16

Thanks Bill! I appreciate the shout out. I am sure that when you read the folks saying so many dont belong... I am one they are referring to! hahaha

elfish16

I doubt it would make much difference but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt either. The issue is much deeper than that I believe. Lately, the ends justify the means.... However, it is funny a bunch of us were just talking a couple of weeks ago about our old Club tourneys (2days). Usually 20 or so boats and...

elfish16

unfortunately that's Clear Lake fishing at its finest. We had the similar thing on Day one....horrible draw and our best spot had 14 boats on it. We stayed our distance but at the same time throughout the day we all worked together and fished plenty close together but no bad attitudes and everyone w...

so do you have Chris tie your knots when you stomp everyones butts?

I love the competition and spending time on the water with my old man. We even compete with each other in our derbies. IN all that I do I like to compete and try to be the best. obviously I need to win some cash to sustain my fishing but competition is the reason.

elfish16

Who is coming out to fish for some BIG money?

BINGO! Way to go for sure!

best example of customer service I've seen is both with Irod and Gloomis/Shimano. The first batch of rods I got from Irod had the reel seats come apart and Matt took care of that no questions asked. He's been a class act on this front with any questions myself or friends have had! :D Second was this...
