I'm not real sure, Mark.

Algae bloom.

Anglers was my first call. Great guys!

I need work done dealers wont do on the piston for my trim. Leaking. Dealers will only replace entire assembly and that part alone is $2,250

Yep. Anglers Marine is the best.

mrobinett

Anglers Marine won't?

mrobinett

Here in SoCal, It's pretty simple. Certain lakes take each other tags. DVL, Perris, Silverwood and Puddingstone each take each others tags. Castaic and Pyramid take those lakes tags also but those lakes don't take Castaic and Pyramid's tags. If your lakes up there would do something like that, you w...

mrobinett

Otay, you and I fished the one at Perris together.

mrobinett

It's probably necessary, but boy is it boring to watch on TV. In fact, if that's what the anglers are doing, I quit watching.

mrobinett

Check with Don Iovino. A few years back he was asking for old gear that he would refurbish and donate. I gave him some reels at the time.

mrobinett

Hi Jim, the last time I ordered I sent a check from Dusty's garage doors. See if that shows up in your files. I will look for your invoice when I get home today. I'm having trouble responding to your post.

mrobinett

Hi Mark. This is Mike Robinett. I ordered some of your jigs earlier in the year. Could I place another order for the same ones you sent then? Thanks, Mike.

mrobinett

We were there last Saturday and the water just lower than full pool. Launching is from the cove ramp. Fishing was ok.

mrobinett

Hi. I would like to try some of the 1/4oz jigs pictured. I would like to get 4 in bluegill color with the tail and 4 in camo craw with the tails. Im going to Camanche in a few weeks would like to try them there. How would you want to do this? Thanks, Mike.

mrobinett

We only use the running lights and our headlamps. The only time we use our headlamps is when we retie or netting a fish. Other than that, we like it dark.

mrobinett

The 5 pin worked on the Carbon.

mrobinett

Thanks Edd. I have a 5 pin on the transducer and 9 pin on the new unit.

mrobinett

I had a 9' Carbon unit but it quit working for some reason. When I sent it in, Lowrance kindly upgraded me to the new 9" Live. The problem is, the blue transducer cable doesn't match the new blue pin configuration. I was told everything would hook up the same. Any ideas to fix the problem? The ...

mrobinett

Hi everyone. We were out on Castaic today and all of a sudden, the front graph gets thick vertical lines whenever the trolling motor is used. Any Ideas?

mrobinett

If you go to "805 Web Cams", you'll be able to see Cachuma, Lopez, Santa Margarita and Nacimiento web cams. It's been interesting watching the lakes come up the last few weeks.

mrobinett

The way my buddies and I do it is, whoever takes their boat, the other guy pays the gate fee. Then it switches if we take their boat. It seems to even out.

mrobinett

Anyone tried "toon-brite" protective clear coat from bass pro shop? Ive tried wet sanding and buffing my clouded gelcoat but it only lasts for a few months at best. I'm considering clear coating over top of the gel coat or re-gel coating with clear gel coat. Thanks Par Hi Par. Coming from...

mrobinett

About 2500 pounds.

mrobinett

It's 121' higher than last year on this date.

mrobinett

AS fisherman, we have to be careful not let a couple of drops of water from our boats get into a quagga infested lake that will send it's water down to Elderberry, another quagga infested lake, and then through a 10 foot tall concrete tunnel under the elderberry dam and into Castaic. I guess we have...

mrobinett

Mike, are the inspections just the normal inspections going into the lake? And, also, awesome updating you are doing. Thanks.

mrobinett

I used NCAngler for some grubs that we couldn't find anymore. Steve matched them exactly. In fact, we just ordered some more.

mrobinett

I did the one at Lake Perris a number of years ago. It was fun.

mrobinett

That's a great report Mike. But my question is, as it stands now, if my boat hasn't been in any lake for a couple of weeks, would I be able to go to Castaic or Pyramid and fish or would I have to go get cabled and return after the 8 days?

mrobinett

To me, the common sense rule, would be to have a Pyramid, Castaic, Piru tag and we can fish between those lakes. But to not allow a boat between those lakes now, is just stupid.

mrobinett

You have to wonder if there is any common sense to anybody who are making these senseless regulations or proposals.

mrobinett

I assume you're going to use a hole saw then. I don't think they make different teeth sizes for them. The regular one would be ok. Just make sue you don't drill into any power cables that run along the gunnel. I'm speaking from experience from when I installed mine.

mrobinett

Using tape would be OK but just use a new bit and keep the RPM high and don't rush.

mrobinett

I looked into it a couple of weeks ago and could only find the Lake Jennings campground. I talked to one guy though and he said you could probably sleep in line but check it out first.

mrobinett

It's down 34' since Nov. 10th. Go to Department of Water and Power then California Data Exchange Center to get the daily levels. It looks like they quit pulling water a couple of days ago.

mrobinett

Definitely start out with the clubs. There's a lot to learn on there own. If they try tournies on their own, they might get discouraged. By joining a club, they can learn different techniques and styles. Good for you for doing this.

mrobinett

Rick, I went to Ticketmaster and the only dates they are showing are through the end of October. Am I missing something? I even went to the little calendar an the left of the page and couldn't get there.

mrobinett

Tom, we fish a lot of night tournies down here, mostly Castaic. You really don't want a lot of lights on your boat. We use those LED head lamps and only turn them on to get bearings, retying or when netting fish. Other than the running lights and anchor lights, we keep everything off until we have t...

mrobinett

If you want to fish past 8:30, go to Castaic. There's a good frog bite first thing but it's gone by 8 or 8:30. Then it gets boring.

mrobinett

That's hilarious. My wife once asked me where I would be without her. I said probably at the river, fishing. She never asked that again.

mrobinett

I second what Mark and Gary said. They've always gone out of their way to help me through the years. I don't know anybody that they haven't been straight with.

mrobinett

Hi Kevin. I'm sorry but I'm not going to be able to make it Saturday. We are going to have our grandson for the weekend.

mrobinett

I'm in, Kevin. I'll see you Friday night at Castaic.

mrobinett

Did you have to pass a background check to purchase that thing?

mrobinett

Another thing I see on the fishing shows that makes for bad images, is when they have a fish that's eaten a jig and they smack the jig with their hand to unhook the jig. I've had people watching that don't know and ask why they just hit the fish in the mouth. It just looks bad.

mrobinett

Just a quick note to everyone going. When Rick says early, he means EARLY. It's great.

mrobinett

How about some kind of pack in trip on horses like in the High Sierra. There are pack trips that would be guided and they do all the cooking and camp set up. That way you wouldn't need any specialty gear.

mrobinett

Try cracking open the fuel tank cap. I had that happen on a 25HP same age back in the day. The cap ended up being bad.

mrobinett

I had the same problem with my 97 Merc 150 EFI. For about 6 months it ran great but would just die even on plane. I took it to Anglers Marine and they said it most likely is the wire harness. It worked for a couple of months and did it again on our last stop of the tournament and had to come in on t...

mrobinett

Michael, I do the same thing and then realize there isn't one.

mrobinett

Has anyone heard if the water level is coming up or not?

mrobinett

We were fishing the Anglers Marine tournie at Pyramid on Saturday. I was throwing a rip bait along the rocky shore just next to the ramp when I hooked some fishing line. As I was wadding it up to put it in the boat, it started pulling. The more line I pulled in, I noticed about 10 hooks and one of t...
