it seems like every year we read of stories of guys shore fishing for trout using power bait and catch monster bass. Those monster bass are there probably looking for trout, see one who is pre-occupied by a cheese ball and gets a gill flare - the trout gets away and the bass sucks in the trout bait...

Texas State record LMB was caught by a crappie fisherman! Rod & reel looks like a Spincast outfit to me. I remember when a youngster caught a 16.4 lb bass at Miramar in the 70's on a cheese ball! Tom If he was fishing a cheese ball, he was probably fishing for catfish, so his rig was probably u...

For me, it's like hunting, but I don't have to kill anything. Same thrill of the stalk and execution, solving the problem. But,as my friend Ben says, "I'm just not that mad at the bass anymore", so I find going fishing is fulfilling all by itself. Could it be you no longer drive I 5 to Ca...

I'm disappointed that I would have to pay to get the channel to watch MLF. Also disappointed that the pro's had to choose one or the other. Not sure what fishing I will be able to see on TV this year. I guess I will just go fishing on Saturdays instead :-). It is set up to make money, not to entert...

I'm upset too.

Now what delay are you talking about.

They record several shows then put them on. Right ?

They compete in the spring, and then are broadcast at the end of the year.

Thanks for the detailed response, and the Facebook page link.
I'm glad to hear that the lake cannot be privatized.

I read here years ago that backing up onto two trash bags for each side of the trailer, one bag per wheel, will make moving the trailer easier. The two layers of plastic make a very slippery surface. Don't ask me how I know, but it is true.

Several years ago there was a planned development in Ayers bay that was stopped because access roadway would be on Open Space US Forest service managed. From what I understand 3,500 acres are Open Space along the north and west areas of the lake, private ranch and Indian owned land along the south ...

Recreational income from boating and camp site permits is minimal compared to developing the lake front for private residences. The 35 day quagga mussel quarantine period and severe clean & dry inspection process discourages private boaters use at Casitas for several years now. Don't believe th...

Why would Casitas be closed to the public? Follow the money. Who would gain financially by such actions? It's all about risk. The politicians on the water board don't want to be held accountable if there are Quagga Mussels found in the lake. Casitas is the drinking water supply for Ventura, and the...

I'm guessing it's just too expensive to be based in CA and compete on the east coast.

I have already done all that. It seems a lot of people are affected by this. Not just gen 2, on BBC there are a lot of guys with gen 3 and Carbons that have same issue.

Last I looked the Democratic Party controls Califonia by 3 to 1 in Congress and 2 to 1 in Scramento, with Governor Brown being replaced with Newsom. Don't see any changes to the Dems super majority control of our state. Trumps cabinate is powerless in California. Agriculture runs this state and wat...

That's just not right. Catching those fish for export to Canada, is like using Delta water to raise nuts for export to China! If Canada can't feed it's farmed salmon from Canadian waters, maybe they shouldn't farm salmon. If San Joaquin farmers can't raise it's nuts without water from the Delta, may...

I've also run into camo boats just tucked into a recess in the tules. No decoys to give them away. It was a surprise, to say the least.

The problem with buying bunks from an unknown source online is you may not be able to find out what kind of wood they used. If it's not good pressure treated lumber you're just throwing your money out the window.

Congrats to them, and to Michael S Lenchanko and Erick Benard Jr. for a really close second.

Chris does good work at a fair price.

mark poulson

You can replace the bunks yourself. First, make sure you can remove the mounting hardware. You can do that in your driveway, with the boat on the trailer, as long as you do one at a time, and reinstall one before you remove the next. Buy true pressure treated lumber the same size as your bunk boards...

That was not investigative reporting, that was clickbait. If I were to hear of a WW from a friend I would ask him for source/proof. And if he didn't know or couldn't confirm, I wouldn't post it, I would investigate it. At this point even if someone did catch a WW, its sketchy to me why they waited ...

"In an effort to thwart the exodus, B.A.S.S. quickly modified its entry-payout equation — making it more attractive than ever."
If not for MLF, this would never have happened.

mark poulson

Why did it take the formation of the BPT to get B.A.S.S. to make the changes it has made?

mark poulson

The biggest barrier in getting BASS and BPT come to the west coast is distance, and the Rocky Mountains.
It is just too expensive for the competing anglers to make the trek, unless they are subsidized by their respective tours, and I don't see that happening.

mark poulson

Another great report. Thanks.
