Born and raised in SoCal. Worked summers at Big Bear Lake at Holloway’s and didn’t know my best friend was black until 10 years later. Yes we had bad people mostly the bikers, and East LA. I didn’t know about prejudice until the Watts riots! My career in aerospace allowed traveling all over this cou...

Most States have low cost to fish, low or no licenses fees for retired anglers, public launches are free and very good bass fishing. If California infects America with out taxes and general political theology where can we move?

It’s good to see the DFW making an effort to save lake Perris by adding habitats, thank you for sharing. Was anything done to help recruitment survival for Alabama Spots or any plans to reintroduce them? You noted in another thread that today’s SoCal bass anglers release over 90% of bass caught, tha...

Thanks for sharing. Had to wait to nearly the end to hear Dave Nollars name come up! Remember Garage WON column? Dave did a skin mount of my 12 1/4 lb PB NLMN way back when. Dave lived Redlands and worked for the school districts during spent a lot of time fishing Perris. Tom FYI, 1 st Northern Spot...

Having lived the FLMB introduction from the beginning the pod cast was of interest however some of info was inaccurate but generally correct. I was a Pieces member and still a Silver Eagle. The initial FLMB were held in ponds at the Lake Miramar location as the dam was being built then transferred t...

Dee Thomas was a icon of the sport sport of bass fishing in what is known as “flipping” to our sport of bass fishing. Does anyone remember a Dave Gliebe who introduced “piching”to our sport? How about Dick Trask who introduced the Split Shot Rig and Dart head jig? Andy “ Cooch” Caccia who introduce...

Kept this jig design under the radar since 1971 when the mold was made.
Not fishing much anymore and decided to gift the Viper jig to Mark.
Credit this jig for my top 5 LMB;
lake Casita 17.4 & 18.6 lbs.
lake Castiac 17.4, 17.6 and 19.3 lbs.
Enjoy

Haven’t fished Casitas in a few years now. WON reports are about 2 weeks old and indicate decent bit. Try PM Kelly Rippa he can help you.

I suggest reading the late Bill Murphy’s book In Pursuit of Giant Bass. Bill worked with Mike Lembeck during his 3 year study tracking about 200 adult size bass. The majority larger size bass would locate suspended over deep water after spawning in groups. The suspended bass would come and go at ran...

California population 130 years ago was about 2.2 million residents, today nearly 40 million that all need water for drinking and agriculture for food. Solution get rid of 38 million California’s people.
Tom

Agree and magnify the boat noise impact on our smaller high pressured bass lakes.
Mike Lembeck performed a 3 year tracking study in the early 70’s in San Diego lakes and worth reading!

Different prop maybe was over tightened...did it spin freely by hand?

PS,Micheal was a Japanese slim fast retrieve version of the Pop-R, Rico the Rick Clunn version. Iovino put it all together with his Splash-It and still catching bass.

It’s about time IGFA finally recognizes FLMB and Southern Spotted / Alabama bass as the separate species they are.

I agree C& R is over board with bass anglers that fish derbies but the weekend anglers and general public catch and eat most the fish they catch. As long as fishery has a sustainable bass population no DFW management is needed in the eye of a biologist. As a bass angler catching a limit of 2 lb...

The DFW or DFG back a few years ago policy was plant Black Bass species 1 time and let them self propagate for eternity. The one exception occurred when local lakes requested Florida Strain bass be introduced into this specific reservoirs in the 70’s.Over 50 year with the initial introduction of FLM...

When I didn’t get an invite to the 1st event at Casitas Ron told me to go to the Bat and sign up so I did. All they wanted was observers to sigh up. Not known as a swimbait angler I was over looked although more then qualified. That is why I said one and done and couldn’t care less if the event ever...

I believe that was a once and done tournament that Don Osborne won.
The event was by invitation only and failed as a result.

TIA’s are a early warning to take seriously.

Want to give a shout out to Gary Dobyns for changing the bass rod business by offering over the counter application specific rods. Before Dobyns rods we had 3 or 4 bass rods if you want a specific rod it had to be custom build. Gary started his company using Lamiglas rod because they had a wide rang...

Study the Florida Largemouth history in California and it’s obvious that genetics are more important than prey to predator ratio. Same lakes with the same ecosystems and prey sources with Northern strain LMB didn’t produce a single bass over 14 lbs, the State record for decades. Without changing an...

Post released LMB behave as individuals, some travel back to where they were caught and others travel short distances or stay where released if conditions are favorable.
Good source is Toledo Bend tracking studies.

Stradic 4000 is aluminum but has a good anodiccoating like Calcutta reels and is salt water compatible if not abused. Vanford is composite and salt water comparable, not as ridged frame as Stradic.
Shimano Twinpower 4000 is the ultimate big Striper spinning reel, look at JDM sites.

What type of fishing fresh or salt water, what species of fish??

Comes down to how the 7” Senko is rigged; Wacky weightless, Wackly Neko or weedless Texas.
Owner Wacky weedless Jungle hook rig wacky or Neko ant decent worm rod works good. Weedless T-rig 5 power/MH+ JWR rods work.

Bass fisherman look at everything through our view point. Midwest fisherman are primarily catching Walleye and Crappie with smaller groups targeting Musky and Bass. Walleye and Crappie are food fish, not catch and release. Wisconsin does manage the fisheries a lot better then our DFW! Passion wins o...
