Mark,

i just ordered some parts to put some together. LOL I probably should have just bought a couple from tackle warehouse, but It always to seem more fun when you catch something on one you put together yourself.

Saul..

SoCalBassAssassin

Yes VERY old Post Kelly, but I don't think any of us can get too much information on how to catch those green monsters. lol

Saul

SoCalBassAssassin

oops.. Thanks Mark! Didn't look to see who chimed in. thought it was Kelly. You fish Casitas with em?

Saul.

SoCalBassAssassin

Very cool Kelly! thanks for the info! Looks like a great way to frog. How have you done at Casitas with that combination? I have caught some on regular buzzbaits, but haven't had much luck with frogs there.

Saul.

SoCalBassAssassin

No I haven't tried that one. However i have enough buzzbaits to put a hollow frog on the hook of one. Does the buzzbait you are speaking of have a skirt, and could I just put a frog trailer on one of my existing buzzbaits? HA HA HA Although since I don't have my boat anymore It makes it tough to go ...

SoCalBassAssassin

Hey guys... I'm planning on going down to DVL in the very near future.. Any Reports you are willing to share? What baits are working there this time of year? Any information will be appreciated.

SoCalBassAssassin

I went out last Wed. and got 4. 2 on drop shot both around 1.5#, and 2 on cranks both over 4. I got a follower on one of my swimbaits. Saw her. She was 8-10# at least, and really fat, but I couldn't get her to take it. May be there this weekend or probably next week during the week since I don't hav...

SoCalBassAssassin

I haven't been up there since before the rains started. Was wondering if the water level is rising nicely??? Any reports, Kelly??? I know you drive by it every day on your way to & from work.. What gives????

SoCalBassAssassin

Does this mean that all the people participating in the AC tourney at Casitas next week should bring a raincoat?

SoCalBassAssassin

If you want to trade that reel for a brand new never fished Curado 300E PM me.

SoCalBassAssassin

uh huh

SoCalBassAssassin

LOL.. Byron.. I have the flu. I am not quite right today. Thanks for the info!

Now I'm really excited that you got some fish out of our lake in the hills here!

See you on the water..

SoCalBassAssassin

Thanks for the report, Byron.. Nice to know that the users on this site are willing to share information.

SoCalBassAssassin

Glad to hear that you are finally getting on the lake more now, Kelly! Also glad to hear that someone is finally figuring out the pattern, and technique to catch these winter Casitas Bass. We all know they are there, it's just futile sometimes beating the points with little or no results. Thanks for...

SoCalBassAssassin

WOW... What a nice guy, and he was just a kid.. I met him several times at Casitas. He will be missed. My prayers for his family. So sorry to hear this..

SoCalBassAssassin

:lol: :lol: :lol: I keep throwing it, but all it's done is looked great in the water so far. I will be fishing mid week for a while, since I got laid off. At least as long as I can afford to go. But am hoping to catch a plant on one of the days I go, and throw that big baby right into the plant. :lo...

SoCalBassAssassin

It was okay. No fish over about 2.5 lbs, but the dropshot seemed to be the ticket Friday. Damn Trolling motor screwed up. Have to call Motorguide about warranty replacement. Byron.. Cranks are dead, like Kelly said very calm almost no wind, and swimbaits are drawing followers, but no takers so far. ...

SoCalBassAssassin

IU was there Friday. Only 4 - 6 boats on the lake all day. got 5 fish all on dropshot with 6" robos in hte morning. My NEW trolling motor took a dump and wasn't working properly by noon so I swimbaited the marina for a bunch of followers but no takers. Yeah Kelly the dropshot seems to work when...

SoCalBassAssassin

Thanks Kelly. I'll keep that in mind Friday.

Ron.. You remember Casitas, don't you? It's that lake you used to love to fish.

SoCalBassAssassin

Hey folks. I'm goin to Casitas for the first time in a few weeks. Any news on baits? I know there was sort of a swimbait bite last time I was there, but nothing really good. Any updates would be appreciated so I don't freeze my a$$ off for nothing.

SoCalBassAssassin

Sounds good to me, Kelly! Be sure to let us know how you do. I am going to have to breat out my Natebait too. I couldn't stop throwing the 10" BBZ after the one hook up though. I thought about switchin, but couldn't bring myself to removing the other. :lol: :lol: It sure is fun to have them hit...

SoCalBassAssassin

Boy... I don't feel so bad now. I was there on 12/7. Got a great blowup on a big BBZ1 but lost it. After that nada. No reaction bite, no jig bite, and no creature bite. i hope it picks up. It was REALLY cold when I got there in the morning. I metered shad really deep also, and the one I had on was i...

SoCalBassAssassin

I saw shad on top a couple times, but only when a bass chased them up. Other than that the bass were between 7 & 25 feet, and the shad were in the 15 - 20 foot range. I may see you out there Saturday if I don't have help clean the house. Wednesday was great on the water. Only about 7 boats all d...

SoCalBassAssassin

They will be in my prayers. Hoping for a good recovery for both.

SoCalBassAssassin

Decided to give the local lake a try today since I had the day off anyway. Launched at 6:00 AM. Started out trying some swimbaits on points, and flats for no love. (They are supposed to do the first plant soon I hear) Tried some jerks & cranks for a couple small bass around 1.5 - 2# also on poin...

SoCalBassAssassin

No names, John. But I was told by one of the rangers that this tactic has been tried several times now. They have been yanking on my cable when I enter the lake lately. Ranger Rob would know the gory details though.

SoCalBassAssassin

Nice report, Kelly. I haven't been on our local lake for over a month or so, and was wonderin how the bite was. I'm gonna try to get out there this weekend, but am not sure. Next Friday for sure.. I'll bring some spoons, and jigs.. I'll bring my T-Rig, and DR rods too.. Might even throw that new pun...

SoCalBassAssassin

Good story Ron!

SoCalBassAssassin

Well it's about time!

SoCalBassAssassin

Very sad indeed. Mr condolances to his family, and my prayers to him, and his loved ones. R.I.P.

SoCalBassAssassin

I would make a check to make sure the wiring is parallel and not series also. If you are running in series you are only getting 12 volts to the motor, and not 24 volts. Just another thought.

Make sure you have 3 PDF's. More then likely a parent will be coming along. Make sure you have all your water safety things and you should be good. It is really fun to do this. If I don't have to work I will be there.

PDF, John?

SoCalBassAssassin

Darn.. I would have liked to see it with the typo.

SoCalBassAssassin · Re: Casitas Friday 8/28/09 Keep us posted on how you do.

Keep us posted on how you do.

SoCalBassAssassin

Decided to solo it out on Casitas Friday. Got on the water around 6:00 AM the water temp was 75, and it was already about 70 something degrees out with some overcast. I expected a fast an furious morning because the last 2 times I fished there I did very well before the afternoon heat. The bit was s...

SoCalBassAssassin

Tigger... Casitas is still doing the night tourneys. They had one a couple weeks ago.

SoCalBassAssassin

when did they start letting outside boats into DVL again? Is the lake quaggafied?

All of Saul's info is correct. If I had a family and some time I'd be at Lopez . For camping/nature/good fishing...It's got my highest rating. Casitas is to much trouble and the fishing has been so so....not compared to Castaic or SoCal but by Casitas standards it's having problems/issues .... I'll...

SoCalBassAssassin

I really like the reaction strike, and that's what I have been missing at Casitas this year...

SoCalBassAssassin

Ray... Is Havasu like that also. I haven't fished either body of water. I do however have a good friend that lives in Havasu, and was planning on trying some new places when I get my newer boat before I chain it to Casitas again. I will definitely try to Delta, Lopez (haven't fished there for years)...

SoCalBassAssassin

Yo Tiger; Thanks for the interesting info on how to catch an 8lb bass. Ive been looking for a good recipe for a while now! So Mr Weeds: What do you know about Casitas?? Dont be shy because I can handle whatever you got! Later; Big Ed! Ed,,, To get into Casitas yo uhave to be inspected. Then they se...

I'll keep an eye out for ya, Byron. I am in an 86 Monark with 115 Yamaha on the back. Towed by an 03 ford escape. The boat can't be missed. It's a beater with the top half silver metal flake, and a metal framed windshield on the consoles.

SoCalBassAssassin

Yeah.. I keep throwin them, but you are absolutely correct. You ain't missin much this summer so far. As far as I can tell it has been really slow all summer so far. I am hopin things will pick up a bit when the weather stabilizes. I'll keep DShotin mostly, and throwin my cranks & jerks in the m...

SoCalBassAssassin

You mean you won't be getting your boat back in the water for acouple more months, Kelly? I bet you're out there as soon as I call you & tell you the reaction bit is on! ha ha ha Where were you when I went by? O hope I wan't too close. By mid afternoon I was already burnt out, and ready for a na...

SoCalBassAssassin

Byron - I Had a nice strike on a crank. Felt like a 3 or 4# fish, but I was watchin some guy netting shad, and missed it. I ended up with 3 also. What does your boat look like? I'll keep an eye out for you next time I'm there.

SoCalBassAssassin

It's been a weird June...I should have died of heat stroke in my backyard in Ojai but it's been cold or wet or both for a month now. Might explain what your up to... I prolly should lower my flame a month or two for my Casitas outing :lol: ...Back to plastics where I left'm 3 months ago I spect :( ...
