The only time we had an angler not show up in a Top Stick event it was your partner at Castaic, certainly not my fault. I can't pick everyone up at home and bring them to the lake. I don't remember you complaining about it at the time. The TOC was worth over 6K for the winner, sorry you missed out o...

C J

Jason Chang, I know for a fact that you got all your draw info in Top Stick '07 in due time because I was the one making those phone calls. I also remember that Guy Williams that "LA local" won the '07 event at Pyramid, so us catering to a geographic region of anglers doesn't really hold w...

C J

It's been awhile, but I got something to say. DL's got all of our support on the format changes in Top Stick. He and John even went so far as contacting all existing Top Stick members to be sure that they would agree with some changes hoping to open the field a bit. There's been a lot of talk about ...

C J

this is worth a bump... Bald Bros. Productions....one slick operation

C J

It was a tough bite at Castaic today, but as usual the Top Stick field brings in the weight. Manas Malikian and Andrew Levy weighed 14.25 pounds with each angler catching the Big Bass of their divisions. Manas had little to complain about in his $3,500 check, while Andrew cashed $1,200. They claimed...

Hey Hippie does "NM" mean "No More" Wiggles Shows?
Trash talking friend of Dorothy.

C J

Glad to see you back Erick.....Now just stay away from those Pyramid Lake roadside taco stands and you should be alright. Talk about testing your immunity.

God Bless Crazy Puto(sic).

C J

Jon, we will keep you posted, but as of now it's a day event. Reading our minds though aren't ya?........

C J

Thanks to all who make these events happen= anglers and volunteers. You guys have built a community that is fun to belong to. Congrats to Kyle, it is always cool to see someone who is excited about fishing get the win and talk emphatically about their day. Money is great, but enthusiasm and one-of-a...

C J

Dan and Ron, yes June 28 is the date for the Top Stick Finale at Castaic.

C J

It was Darin Tochihara, and his TNT PLugs as well as AC Plugs and Worm King Dinosaurs. This was really at the forefront of the public knowing how effective wood plugs could be. Dana took some heat for saying the whole catch was on Dinosaurs because it was too easy for "anybody" to figure o...

Yeah Bri, you can leave those ROBO boxes at home now!!!!!

C J

Thanks Ron, I know you understand what it's all about, if anyone bails you are first in line, if that's any comfort. Just for clarity to anyone else, a Pro angler signs up for the entire season with Top Stick, but unforseen circumstances can cause absence from particular events. The advent of the &q...

C J

Ron, I'm sorry you did not get in for DVL, but I had to give first priority to those non-boaters who had fished both of the first 2 events, and then to the angler who was unable to compete at Casitas but who still came out and volunteered his time to help the circuit he supports. I would love to get...

C J

C'mon Steve, it is a blind draw.....Now I can open my eyes for a little pre-draw incentive....LOL. I remember last year, I don't think Landers ever launched until the sun was straight up, he was always last of the last flight. I know we have lost a few guys for this event and we are trying hard to p...

C J

Hey Hippie, just be glad many who spectre this forum don't know your real name. You'd be marked as well. But seriously only a bass fisherman would go with Poe Poe. Is that a 400C Fritts Classic model in black and white?????

Got the call, the ramp will not be opened this weekend. Sorry for the false hope. We will reschedule.

C J

Dwayne, who did you speak to at the lake? Terry Brigss assured me, no more than 48 hours ago, that the ramp would be open on Saturday. Just wanting to know if we are getting conflicting info from the same source. Thanks.

C J

cancelled

C J

The next 100% So Cal will be shifted to Tri-City Park, Brian I need you and Kyle to weigh-in early so you can help me shoo away all the mud chickens from the weigh station, and push those sailboat jerks off the point.

Top Stick is for the people, by the people. Get in on the ground floor, cause it's not going away. We were created to be the anti-establishment....... for So Cal anglers who want to feed the competitive need without the travel, time-off, and excessive expense necessary for other GLORY circuits. We t...

C J

Rob, it's not like there are any easy answers to "Keep it Dry" remember that fear is the MF' er that keeps all of rural Cali afraid of Urban Cali politico.... I read your concerns about possible float tube infestation on your site (calfishing.com is still the BEST indie website) and agree ...

C J

Now this might be extremely old school, but try the split-shot rig with a 3 to 4" salt and pepper worm and a long leader along major points and shelves on the west end of the lake. Don't be afraid to throw shallow and work out if the water has even a little color. There was a time when everyone...

C J

Guy's partner speaks better English than you do Jay, and he can type too.........Just kiddin buddy!

C J

No Steve, the AOY gets his entries paid this year, but does not necessarily get to launch out first, the draw is still random.

C J

Andrew, yeah I'm sorry, but we had to cut the list where it was. There were only 8 new Ams (20 returned from '07) who got in for Castaic, with at least 10-15 others on the outside looking in. I will contact you if there is an opening at any of our events.

The 'Wood almost made the cut as the replacement lake. It's still on my mind for an early in the year event in the future. Pyramid has the most red tape to get through as far as permits go, but since they haven't been having regular tournaments there, they are eager to accomodate us. I hate changing...

C J

Keep in contact with us up until the event, there might be open spots for any of the events.

C J

The Tour schedule looked a little too easy, so we needed to throw a bump in the road for you guys. Adam, do you think we'd make it that easy to repeat as AOY? Seriously though, permit problems with SD and other logistical problems brought about the switch. On the bright side, it looks like Lopez wil...

C J

A couple of things to report: The deadline for Pro entries has been extended to January, 8. Please contact us if you want a spot in the Tour as we still have Pro spots open. The February 16 tournament at San Vicente has been moved to February 9 at Lake Pyramid. Get your good cold-weather gear for th...

C J

Dude, I don't even wanna know where you got that pic.......Good Job though...LOL!

C J

Is it just me, or does the Heat Miser remind you of Phua with a year 2000 Joe Jr. haircut?....... maybe not

C J

Pete, all of our tournaments are set, but we reserve the ability to change venues if water levels are not adequate. That is a fear for San V and Lopez, but I think we'll be in good shape for both. Keep raining!!!!

The TOC lake will not be announced until 2 weeks prior to the event.

C J

Just a little update on what we got working for the new season. We have officially opened up registration to new Pro anglers (our Am field is pretty much full for the year). Interested Pro anglers need to contact us as soon as possible to guarantee a spot (limit of 50 boats). The deadline for sign-u...

C J

All entry forms and deposits should be mailed to:

Top Stick Tour

San Dimas, CA 91773

January 5th is the deadline for entry to this years' tour.

Stay tuned for more info very soon.

C J

Erick, thanks for the Sunday levity, bendayho (sic)...LOL!

I need like a dozen more guys like you for the Top Stick Tour to keep us from getting too serious.... I'm hoping to pair you with Hippie or Loco Enrique this year

See ya at Castaic, Bro.

C J

Dude, you're a sniper!!!!

This kind of documentation is priceless, Thanks for the dedication it took to put this all together.

C J

At least all the youngsters are in school right now. And me? I don't know what the heck I was just about to work on..Thanks alot DL!!!!

C J

Bill, monitor the sarcasm...... No one is attacking you.

C J

Don't get all huffy Jay...no one will ever know who is the Original Golden Boy..... some talk about the Silver Hawaiian, I have the Golden Hippie

C J

Let me start this by saying that when I read Mike M's post on the 2008 ABA schedules and sent him a pm asking if ABA was bringing back a Pro-Am circuit to So Cal, he responded right away. Not being able to fish Top Stick myself, I was interested in seeing if other Orgs would be offering a similar pr...

C J

I've actually had quite a few calls from Top Stick '07 Alum worrying about getting in the field for '08. Once again, the guys who were with us in our inaugural seaon have a spot guaranteed for '08 if they want it. Just contact me or John before the Bass-A-Thon and we will chisel your name in stone o...

C J

Kev Dude, I missed the Parmu smack as I wrote my last reply......HAR...F-ing HAR!!! This just gets funnier the longer I think about it....BUt I do remember the Kanji Staff that manned that booth at BWW, and it wasn't John and Tammy...you and Brian are SELL-OUTS...Worm Pirates FOREVER!

C J

I will never forget the day George left the Bass-A-Thon on break down Sunday with his family and forgot his son.... I kept assuring the kid that his dad would come back for him while trying to count out other vendors....
