Let me echo what Gerry said..."great time and great burgers!" :-D You can count on South Orange County Bassmasters being there next year for sure! But make sure you tell the fish to bite jigs next time ;-) hahaha Mark, let me know when the results are ready...a lot of the fellas in SOCB wh...

.....and why?

It seems that the braided line market is broken into these two materials but what's your experience with each? Some say Specrta is stronger...others say Dyneema is easier to work with... Which do you use and why?....

Zach! Nice toad! Are you fishing Hodges with us this weekend? I was up to my a$$ in aligators with work and missed the last meeting.

Hope to see ya soon!

NOW WE'RE TALKIN' FELLAS! :D Positive solutions forward to keep our lakes open! There's GOT to be a solution in these ideas. This is GREAT stuff. Ron, John B., what do you guys think? How do we get these ideas to "the board" or the Rangers? Ultimately, this would fall on the Ranger's shoul...

captainkirk

Micrpterous...lets expand on your idea for a moment because I think in spirit, its the best idea out there. Fellas...let's put this "boot" idea into the real world. At first read, I liked it, I liked it a lot! But think about everyday life. Let's say your boat is parked at home in the spot...

Mark, bummer about your truck and boat! I KNOW that boat means the world to you and heck, me too! I caught my first 5+ pounder out of that boat! Glad to hear you're not injured or anything. Hope to see ya soon buddy! If you need a ride to Fred Hall to look for a new boat (hehehe) let me know! :D Ser...

You should try Tennessee fellas...went there two Springs ago and planning to go again this April. Picture this....FREE to launch, fish 24 hours a day.....and it's this place called Lake Barkley. When you're done there, Kentucy Lake is waiting for you.... You need two baits, a jig and a spinnerbait.....

GREAT letter Ron. I'd mail it to them as well.

One of my good friends is a Biologist from Cleveland and his father (who still lives in Cleveland) is also a Biologist. Living and growing up in the Lake Erie region gave them an up close and personal viewpoint on exactly what these things are, where they came from, how they survive, how they got he...

Anyone use this line yet? It looks as though they offer a complete selection of Mono, Co-Polymer, Braid and 100% Floro.

B....dude, ya lost me on that one.

captainkirk

Cool. I'll give it a shot Rick. Thanks!

captainkirk

Sweet! Thanks DL. HEY, are you gonna make it to out next meeting? Better yet, go to Martinez with us next weekend! What do ya think?

captainkirk

I'm sure a lot of guys out there have used them and might know how to get them so help a brotha out! They make some SWEET football jigs and spinnerbaits. I stocked up a while back when they were at Bass World West and it's time to stock up again.

captainkirk

Hey Rick....so is that what Boyd will be talking about? What about the rest of the speakers? Do they have a planned topic they will talk about or just general Q&A?

I was with Ken and his son Matthew on Saturday. As God as my witness, I'll tell you that the amount of water in his livewell was so rediculously small that a single kleenex could have soaked it up. MAYBE two and half table spoons. I've been on a lot of boats with a lot of guys and I'll tell you stra...

.... it's well worth the time, you learn a lot, and meet a lot of people that truely enjoy the sport of Bass Fishing. I've been a member of South Orange County Bassmasters for almost two years now and have enjoyed every meeting and tournament. Good times!

captainkirk

... for those of you who read this, if you're not in a Federation club, join one! It's well worth it.

GREAT job Brian..... very clean web site.

captainkirk

We might have covered the basics but mine is 1/2 oz. Black/red flake w/ black/red flake smallie sweet beaver...gotta have a rattle too...try it at Castaic, ssshhhhhh

captainkirk

Jonathan! how the heck are ya!? Where did you find them?...do tell, do tell! There's a web site that's supposed to up for them? Mr. Taibi....if you're the man, please let us know! I just took third place in a tournament with your spinnerbaits!

captainkirk

Fellas....

Does anyone know where can buy and where there's a good selection of LureLogic spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and jigs?

If you know of a way to order direct, even better!

Best,
Kirk

captainkirk

Way to represent!

great story!

captainkirk

thanks for the info JT...I was wondering if there was a dealer out there that could rig a E-TEC on another kind of boat. From what I've seen and heard, those are great boats....but are they $10,000 better than a Strat? Decisions, decisions....

captainkirk

Hey fellas....anyone own a newer 200 or 201 Pro XL? Wondering how they fish and ride....They seem to be the only boats out there with E-TEC's (which in my opinion is the best engine on the market).

Lemme know!

captainkirk

You're welcome Ray! Good to see ya on the water. Props to Jeff Cox and Brian Day for making that happen!

captainkirk

Hey fellas....

I've tried posting on the Northwestern section but thought I would run it by you guys as well....do you know of any bass clubs in the northern California area (specifically by Bass Lake) that my brother could join? He's a boater.....let me know.

Captain

captainkirk

Hey fellas....My brother lives up north and is looking to join a club as a boater....what clubs do ya'll belong to anbd are there any recommendations you can make? He lives in Oakhurst which is by Bass Lake and about 13 miles from the south entrace of Yosemite. Any and all your help would be appreci...

captainkirk

so when you guys say "tune" and are talking about the split ring connection and hook connection, are you turning these things or bending them....if you do, you do it in the direction the bait is running towards, correct? Meaning, if the bait is coming at you and running to your left, you t...

captainkirk

Thanks Ron...your story is exactly why I want to figure out how to get these things running properly!

Kirk

captainkirk

Really? Normans haven't been good for me at all....Rapalas are 50/50. I've have the best luck with Luhr Jensen's Speed Traps....but we all know you can't throw the same thing all the time

I throw all my cranks on 10# test mono or co-polymer.

captainkirk

Fellas.....please enlighten me... Is there a crankbait out there that DOES NOT NEED TUNING OUT OF THE BOX? I wish I could fish these baits more but it frustrates the heck out of me when I can't get the darn things to run straight. I've tried all the known ways to tune em'...tweaking the ring eye, ad...

captainkirk

Hey Brian...I had no idea....was just now reading through the forum and saw your note. Very sorry to hear about your father....hang in there....I unfortunatley have had to deal with a lot of that in my life and it's never easy.....but you're right, you need to keep livin' and fishin'...it's what he ...

captainkirk

sweeeeeeet...thanks guys. that all I needed to know for now.

Now that I can finally sign onto this bad boy (thanks for the tips Patch, Brian and DL)....does anyone know what happened to Tightline Plastics? They used to be run out of San Diego and poured a really great line of plastics. I first came across them back in 96'-97' when I worked at the Oshman's Sup...
