Big Hammer's are better than stock.

Got mine done at Pacific Marine ...Ventura/Oxnard area maybe 3 years ago...Completely satisfied

They also mark the fish and leave it in the cage.

If DFG was working it they should have kept the find under wraps.

I never have. Where are you trying to order from? TW has them all in stock.

Take the paint off with acetone and repaint them???

Not sure why this info wasn't on this site about ABA at Casitas but it took 29+pounds to win the tournament before yesterdays...And it took 38+ pounds to win yesterdays :shock: That FFS comes in mighty handy on a lake full of brush. The best I've ever done here was 37+ and that was like 25 years ago...

Actually Kwin trout do make it into the lake by coming up Putah creek. I used to catch them in a net when the water temps would fry them in the summer and they would come up gasping on the surface at our resort in Glenhaven. There is even a fair smallmouth representation now in certain areas of the ...

I believe Gamma Ray radiation is used by lake Perris to kill off anything coming in via the aqueduct...Don't quote me on that. The tagging system used by Casitas and other SoCal lakes keeps boats from moving around and swapping water from one lake to another from bilges and live wells by using time ...

Stan and Ken Vandenberg at 1800BassBoats are good to work with. Both are bass fishermen and that helps. My boat is 29 years old no claims but easy to work with as they know your questions before you do..LOL

Kelly Ripa

If you have a drop shot rod you like...that will do the job...Mine cost more than 300 but since I already owned them I gave them a try. I had a 25 pound bag the first week of December and I don't have FFS but have not had any issues without being able to actually see fish...You just have to have a l...

Good job Ash... 10,000X thumbs up on your contribution.

Kelly Ripa

The Day they closed Casitas an angler asked, what was to keep someone from getting a stone covered in quagga's from Lake Mead and throwing it in Casitas lake???....The knock Knock at his door was a sheriff investigating him for a domestic terrorism statement he had made...It was a question posed to ...

Kelly Ripa

For me the down fall started with people attacking / Bad mouthing people who had died and the site went south from there. I only post in the lake reports page as no one can comment there. Leaving guys like Salmon looking for punkers in the classified's who sent me several demeaning P.M.'s which I se...

Kelly Ripa

I can only tell you I had mine done in ventura...I'll never do that again...Call Anglers Marine

Kelly Ripa

Rate of fall is a very critical thing....Since speed makes the fish react and do something they wouldn't normally do but is just a reaction I walk to my swimming pool for those answers. Some baits have different fall rates of themselves. Even a senko can fall fast or slow depending on how it hits th...

Standard Operating Procedure at Casitas but it's 6 days longer.

Kelly Ripa

I have been living this nightmare for more than 10 years now. It's not going away. In fact it will spread throughout the state. If you think this isn't coming to your local lakes you are wrong. This should have been fought at it's inception here at Casitas. Now with a golden mussel added to the mix ...

I miss the summertime Clear Lake Rally in August..3 tourneys in 1.5 days...Different draw for non boaters each 4 hour tourney....Lots of fun and a great raffle dinner day one evening at the casino..

I wish you all a very happy 4th of July with family and friends tomorrow. Enjoy the food, fireworks and freedom with which we have been blessed on this cherished holiday.

Kelly Ripa

Not in So Cal. and if it did I am way father back in the series that I see on Saturdays here than having the field narrowed down that far. Like finding out a major part of the superbowl ahead of time

Kelly Ripa

YOU JUST HAD TO POST THIS BEFORE IT'S EVEN ON.

Kelly Ripa

Hey Tom. I can report that you were 100% on point with your comment. I am witnessing a bunch of Florida strain making a comeback here at Casitas and it is a delight to watch and see. I didn't catch a fish over 5 pounds in all of last year here. Now not as tough as it was. As nothing was added but wa...

I've had my 4000 stradic for something like 30 years

Shimano makes some nice saltwater spinning rods.

Kelly Ripa

Even if I could afford it I wouldn't buy it. It's not what I'm about as a fisherman so I have no interest in it.

Kelly Ripa

Maybe the quality will get better cuz it can't get worse. No two Bullshads run the same.

Kelly Ripa

Mono for my floating topwaters( spooks,ricos ..etc.)...everything else is either braid/fluorocarbon, straight fluorocarbon or straight braid. I use straight braid for my big topwater baits "think Lunker Plunker" , frogs , Buzzbaits . they don't know what hit them. Line stretch with a trebl...

Kelly Ripa

Flipping is so much more personal and in their face. I can only do it in rare instances in SoCa lakes so that's why I travel in the pre spawn so much. What a thrill to get it done on Clear Lake with one of your preferred approaches. Thanks for sharing.

What you two know about anything wouldn't fill a small soap dish. 2200+ post over the years and I flipped/flopped...Ha. Laughable. What I know about Clear Lake I'll never share here. You'd have to go back 3 years and 14 reports before you would find any other anglers report on Casitas lake as I alwa...

Kelly Ripa

Actually Ken It was subterfuge on my part as I was In the know the week before and didn't want to pass my friends bite on and I figured the pros would start there. Great Job Ken In getting to the finish line on a tough week of weather and fishing. You did what I predicted privately to my friends. Aw...

Kelly Ripa

I missed by 1.6 pounds..Not a bad guess.

Kelly Ripa

Sorry Pd not even close to a puffball on spinning gear bite. My friends were using 20 Lb. Abrasix But I opted for 12 and the last day when we walked into that flurry I was using 15 Bassix. That was my total with some 4's and a 6 on top of the two fives 5's. You should have seen the Crappie I caught ...

Kelly Ripa

I based my 27 limit number on my own performance last week. I had a 25+ limit in 15 minutes on one spot. You have to move to find winning fish. Your not going to pull out a flipping stick and beat these fish into submission. To much pressure.

Kelly Ripa

If you don't average 27 lbs. a day your toast

Kelly Ripa

I'll be up there this Friday for 10 days and I just wondered about the numbers that they used for opening up the gates and so forth ...It appears they were dumping it as fast as they could just prior to this last set of storms. I used to live there and we had a pier with the main dock on it and our ...

At what Rumsey level do they close the lake to boat traffic?

It looks like it is Johnny Morris original guide ware extreme now. The late season version is insulated. I don't know about the jacket length but as somebody pointed and as I have told my wife. Just bury me in it as it cost more and looks better than the only suit I own...

Kelly Ripa

I have Cabela's guide ware also. Probably 30 years old also. I have non insulated with the short jacket because we aren't in Minnesota. Interesting that you had problems with that brand also. The winners of the ABA at Clear Lake are good friends of mine and the son is replacing his gear after fishin...
