Insurance will take care of it.

Fluoro sinks, therefore for Splitshotting doesn't Fluro defeat the purpose of floating a worm up off the botttom? Also, how do you keep the splitshot from sliding down? and how did Mr. Trask catch all his fish? If it didn't matter then, why does it matter now? Just asking, not meant to offend.

Ralph_198

What line for Splitshotting?

Ralph_198

Thanks for the info Rick.

What is the insentive for the Champion owners?

Ralph_198

Ray, your tournaments are a class act. I can't remember when I've fished such a well run tournament. Everything ran smooth, at least from a competitors prospective. I made a new friend in Charlie Weyer and though we didn't fare to well in the catching department (tough bite :roll: ) we had some grea...

I personally hope Hatton lights up mayweather with those massive bodyshots..

Can't wait, and I'm with you 100%. I don't care for Mayweather one bit.

Al Linder says he still uses mono for most applications. I use Flouro most of the time, but it is expensive. I might try using more mono for a change or at least hybrid lines and see what difference it really makes. I guess the process of making flouro is way more expensive then making mono

Looking for tips on what to bring for my first fed tourney. I know we have to keep our tackle down to a minimum, I have a small tackle bag, but how many rods should I take? Also, should I bring a small cooler for water/lunch? Thanks in advance....

Ralph_198

Navionics Chip, I don't know that it's the best, but it works fine.

Ralph_198

Thank you Ray and Brian, I'm all in, I'll mail my entry and club dues today!

I'm looking for a boater to sign up with. JB, did anyone sign with you yet?

Ralph_198

Yeah, I have to miss it too. Rick had to choose my anniversary weekend. Oh well, enough bass fishing for now and back to the Romance

YA Luke dose have a SH####ty attatude

The sport doesn't need anymore Luke Clauson's that's for sure. Boyd is a much more experienced fisherman and a true sportsman.

Ralph_198

I dont know Pete. From what I gathered they dont give priority to anglers that dont want to fish the whole season, so your chances in fishing one lake might be limited So if you register to enter a tournament online, do they wait until all the entries are in before they notify you whether or not yo...

Joe is a stand up guy for sure!

If you name your kids Skeet, Roland or KVD.

I thought you were supposed to leave the charger plugged in? I leave mine in 24/7 as well.

The thing that bugs me the most is when some one out there falsifies a fish. If its 5lbs say its 5lbs, Hey man it's all good. My buddy caught a 9 pounder at Castaic back in 1983. He ended up getting it mounted and beleive it or not that thing grows bigger with every coversation, I think it's about ...

Ralph_198

Try tying some jigs or make leaders.

Ralph_198

Cooch, what did you "not" like about Cabela's Flourocarbon?

Ralph_198

The million dollar question......

WHAT POINT?

Ralph_198

Thanks guys I really appreciate it.

Ralph_198

Thanks Guys, so for the weight on say a 12LB. Main line you would use a 1/2 oz weight and for 15LB. line you would use a 3/4 oz or 1oz?

Ralph_198

When you are fishing clear water with a Carolina Rig what is the preference LB. test for main line and leader line?

Ralph_198

Dan, so your main line was 20# and your leader was 20#?

Ralph_198

I like Gamakatsu hooks. What style would you use for the following?

1. Worm (Texas)

2. Senko

3. Jerkbait, ie Flukes

J Bend, Offset, EWG, Straight Shank?

Why would you choose one style of hook over another?

Thank you.

Ralph_198

Thank goodness, I had to get off the lake at 4:00pm last Saturday and during an awesome bite

Ralph_198

Excellent

Ralph_198

When on Mead or Havasu or any of the big impoundments, what do you do if your motor breaks down and you're far away from the home marina? is there something you should do to prepare for such a problem? thanks,
Ralph.

Ralph_198

We had a great day today, but unfortunatley we had a skunk in the boat. I must admit, I'm a bit rusty. It was a great time non the less. Castaic sure doesn't look the same anymore. My uncle talked to one guy that said he had one fish all day, but it was a 6 pounder :shock: . I really appreciate it g...

Ralph_198

Ron, that was in no way disrespectful, You guys (DL included) are top notch. This forum is the best. I will let you guys know how we did. Thanks again.

Ralph_198

Thank you guys. I really appreciate it. Ron you're the man.

Piece,

Ralph.

Ralph_198

DL thanks for the reply. Did you have any fish in the boat?

Ralph_198

Hey Guys, I was wondering if any of you can give me some tips for fishing Castaic tomorrow. I am taking my Uncle out for the day, He's been undergoing Chemo and I would like to get him on some fish. I've been waiting for it to warm up a bit before taking him out. I haven't been there for a while, an...

I wasn't in the tournament but I was there yesterday. I didn't catch any fish. This was my second time fishing DVL. It seems that the same people are always in the top five spots.

Ralph_198

Soft Rock, going to the lake, blues coming home

Ralph_198

How did you approach them? Did you know your sponsor on a personal level prior to sponsorship? What do you do for your sponsor besides tournament exposure? Thanks.

Ralph_198

Thanks to all!

Ralph_198

I have a TR109 Motorguide w/Machette prop. Where can I buy the shear pins? Anglers? or maybe online?

Thanks!

Ralph_198

I think the reason behind the fewer comitted co-anglers is the time of year. I'm sure you'll see more co-angler participation during the warmer months.

Ralph_198

I've also aways wondered why they don't use the West ramp during the winter. The main ramp may be bigger but it would seem they would have less traffic during the winter anyway.

Thanks for the info.

Ralph_198

Launching at Castaic main ramp during windy season can be a real drag for me when I'm fishing alone. It seems that the wind always blows on the ramp, at least when I'm there. Putting the boat back on the trailer can be tricky. Can anything be done to curtail the wind just a little bit? I like fishin...

We should all be happy that Roland's Helicopter Lure was never copied
