My friend and his kids found shad, and caught fish. Big fish was a 11.5lb carp his daughter caught.
Many thanks.

It stops working after the third wife.

I fished the back seat of a new Champion that had one. It was very good at holding in the wind. It read the depth, and stayed right in place. The boater had a remote clipped to his belt, so he was able to retie and look for baits without losing control. It looked like a great thing if you're fishing...

Cooch, Now, be patient with an old Jewish carpenter. Let me see if I have this right. If you have sospenders on the boat, and you're wearing them, then they count as life preservers. But if you don't have them on, they do not count as life preservers, and you have to have one per boater of the conve...

Anyone know if the shad are still shallow, and where, at Castaic?
My friend is taking his kids out tomorrow, and would like to scoop some to get the kids on fish.

to clean out undersize spots, like they do with stripers at Mead.

That is truly amazing! Just incredible!

I played second, short, and third through high school. To me, second is the most difficult, athletically. Being able to go to your right and then back against your body to turn the double play is a beach! If Izturis has arthritis, he will surely suffer at second. Short needs more range, and a strong...

I like the frog hook thing! Secondly folks don't worry about the finish as I think the more abused the bait is by some fish the better they work. I had over 60 fish on a 12 and would have got more but could not pull it out of the roots of an oak...Oh well. The five does not get to 5 very fast...the...

I can't believe spring training is just around the corner. Looks like Colletti isn't afraid to make some moves. I just hope these guys hold together for a season. I remember Don Stanhouse. Nomar looks like the old Nomar, based on the end of last season. If so, he's a steal. I just wonder if Lofton h...

Figure I'll toss my 2 cents in. I actually just got a set of the XPS stretch rain gear from BPS. They were on sale so it was hard to beat $220 for a full Gore-Tex suit. I went with the bibs since if you bend over, you won't have rain running down your back. They also won't slip down when bending ov...

I have been considering joining and fishing the Federation, but I am having serious second thoughts. Granted, I do not now fish the Fed, or any tournaments except my club's, but I would like to comment on Gary's article, and on what I've read here and on various forums and in various magazine articl...

The frames have a "foam" insert that seals sort of like goggles. You will not get back glare. The lens are polished Italian lenses very clear and no distortion. During the R&D of these glasses I had taken a few people sight fishing. They were using their glasses and I was using my Pan...

John, Do the frames cover your temples? I'm asking because I have gotten so much sun there over the years that I need some protection. Also, how do the optics and polarization compare to Kaenons? I have a pair of Rhinos now, and, while I like the optics, the frame lets light in as back glare on the ...

I hear there's a Frisco boat yard installing a Balco livewell upgrade.

Guess who tood first at Berryessa Sunday?
Congratulations, Jonathan! Way to show them NoCals how!

mark poulson

with where and how and why. It's great to hear how someone who knows makes his dicisions. Just forget how when the next 911 challenge comes around again.

Congratulations!

Or check and see if he or she is a bass fisherman. My old letter carrier used to deliver my Penthouse about a week late, and the pages were stuck together.

Eric,
It pains me to say this, but I have to agree with you about Brian D.
He's all that, and more, but this is a PG forum, so I won't go there.

Seriously, he is all that's right about bass fishing.
Makes you wonder what the ABA has been smoking?

I installed my flat foot with the sloped end to the rear, to let me have easier access to the pedal. I mounted my pedal on two layers of 3/4" plywood to bring it up to a level where I didn't feel like I was going to fall forward when I pushed the pedal all the way down in the front. I moved the...

mark poulson

Rip, you're right. Bass West and Inside Line are the two best west coast magazines out there. It sure seems like now would be the time to take advantage of what is turning out to be a void in the bass magazine market for the west coast.

I use 12lb flouro and 12lb mono for my cranks. What size lure saver would you recommend. I read somewhere that the size for 12lb can open up if you try to put pressure on a fish with 12lb line.

mark poulson

You're right, I never claimed to have been a witness to anything. But I do claim to know if an organization is not doing it's job. If you had posted this explanation when the crap went down at Castaic, and, before that, when it went down at Casitas, this would have been dead and buried long ago. And...

mark poulson

Keith,
Maybe it's because in CA we take cheaters to court, and in Texas you shoot them. Come to think of it, maybe you guys have it right!

mark poulson

Bob,
I just went to a website, www.unitedbassfederation.com, that claims the Federation is breaking away from BASS completely, and starting it's own tour.
Have you heard about this?

mark poulson

John, I hope it's not my fault becaue I forget to close the door at Castaic when I left Friday afternoon. :lol: Seriously, I paid the price on the 2 1/2 hr. ride home. That's a bummer about not being able to fish, but you're right, safety first. There will be other days, and, thanks to good decision...

mark poulson

Charlie, I am not a lawyer (thank goodness), but I have been in labor law disputes. If someone agrees to something beforehand, whether it's working 24hrs. a day, or taking a polygraph as a condition of competing in a bass tournament, then that's what is agreed upon, what is kosher. If anyone signs u...

mark poulson

Jeff,
You should have gone fishing. You're too tough.

Ray can't help it if he's a Uclan. After all, he wears orange bibs to fish.

mark poulson

doubt about the Castaic cheaters. Sounds like the ABA just doesn't want to pony up the money it would take to make sure this stuff doesn't happen. A polygraph can't be that expensive, even if it needs to be certified once in while. If people get fed up and quit fishing the ABA, like Jerry, maybe the...

mark poulson

I don't think that there was an intention to mislead or keep people in the dark. It wouldn't be good business to piss off the people who pay to fish their tournaments. The ABA people were probably confronted with a situation that was new to them, and they were a little intimidated by all the legaliz...

I've got $150 to spend for rods, I've got the nice reels now, but need to upgrade rods. My option is to buy 1 nice rod or 2 middle of the road rods. Looking for the opinions of others on this one. Thanks, Look at Falcon Low Rider series. I love the FLC 5-168 for jigs, Ikas, and Senkos. They are a m...

I concur. Basswest is for us, Bassmaster is for them.

George Bush. Cheap shot, but I couldn't resist.
