:lol: is that they'll probably drive the local shops out. I live in So.Cal., I do buy from BPS and Cabela's, but I mostly buy local. 8.25% is a small price to pay to me if it means my local guy is there when I need him, either for repairs, baits, or info. And I buy from Tackle Wharehouse, which char...

I pay the tax on the boat in my driveway, my tags, my passes, .....on and on. But I'm lucky right now, I can still afford it. In ten years it may be another story. I think a major part of the problem is the fact that the Federal Govt. takes much more in taxes out of our state than it returns. Many s...

I know you are very successful fishing and all, but not everyone is as unorthodox as you (Good lick). Personally, a kiss is as far as I'll go with a bass, but, then again, I've never been as accomplished as you, so maybe I should try it. It seems to be working for your friend, Dino.

If John Barron's post is accurate, and I'm sure it is, then fishing in general, and bass fishing specifically, is doing great. I realize that, for people who want to make a career out of fishing, any national growth and exposure increases the chances for making it for more people. The way I read the...

We're all sorry to see you guys close the doors. Your store was a jewel, and you guys are tops. Nothing but best wishes for you and Chris and Matt. Keep us posted on where you all land.
Will you keep your website going?

I just got my Western Outdoor News, and, of coure, the first thing I read was George Kramer's column. Man, does he hit the nail on the head.

Here's hoping the price comes down before then.

I was there three weeks ago. Still some bed fish, but very skittish. Lots of empty beds. I saw bed fish on the east side, by the parking lot, and along the rip rap at the main intake. We caught fish in front of the tules on the east side, along the rip rap at the dam end, all along the swim beach ar...

I installed the Brad Tharp Flat Foot recessed trolling motor pedal mount in my Tracker 175 a month ago. Since then, no more back pain driving home. I have siatica and pain in my right leg. My 1 1/2 hour drive used to be torture. No more.
Flat Foot flat works!

The Castaic Lake weather page is frozen again. Time to work you magic.

Let's start collecting for the People For the Ethical Treatment of A==holes. Looks like they need all the help they can get.

Pro sports is just an entertainment business, a filler between commercials, and the players are all self-centered jerks. Overpaid, under achieving, only play half a game, or the fourth quarter. I grew up with, "90 seconds to go, Lakers down by three, West steals the inbound pass, passes to Bayl...

Whatever you said worked. The Castaic weather station is back. Now if I could just figure out what 200 means on the temperature chart.

Hey, Rip.
How's the bite at Cachuma?
Mark

mark poulson

Not! What an amazing sack. You guys must have been doing something right. Gerry really know how to find 'em, and it sounds like you know how to stick 'em. Good team, good job.

Congrats Ron and Ray. Good year for both of you. Can't wait to see how you guys whack 'em next year. Should be exciting.

And I'm coming along to help him launch and bait his hooks!

Which ramp did you guys use? I want to know where all the fish got released.

Brian,
Looks like the bite was BRUTAL! A lot of good sticks, a lot of light sacks. I guess the real Casitas is back. That high, dirty water Casitas was just a temp. Those fish must have left down the steelhead ladders.

I just came back from Santa Cruz, flying into San Jose, attending my son's graduation from UCSC, and driving his stuff back in a uhaul. Man, do they have a lot of water. Everywhere. When we flew into San Jose, it was everywhere! It must be even better farther north. My little sister lives in Richmon...

:lol: Our radio stations down here in So.Cal. are reminding us that the drought isn't really over, and that we should conserve water. I know it's true. And everytime I talk to my sister in Richmond, and she tells me it's raining, I get jealous. Meantime, it is so great to have lake full of water! Mark

Professional fishing is just what it says. It is a business. And those who are most successful have found a way to combine the skills of fishing with the skills of being a business person. Most of the rest of us (I am speaking for me) are either fishing to keep in some kind of competition doing what...

Yeah, nothing like skeedoos and wake boarders to liven things up.

Cooch is right. The old saying of, "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it" really applies here, I think. Everyone who has been pushing for bass fishing to become a national sport now sees that it has become, first and foremost, entertainment, like the other pro and college sp...

I hope you didn't teach that Darren fella too much about how to fish before the club challenge.

See you Thursday night.

What a neat deal. Just shows what comes of taking a chance and having a little faith once in a while.

I have a Lowrance X98 on my bow. Sometimes, when I'm fishing, with the console unit off, the 98 will lose the bottom digitally, and scroll through a range of depths until it finds it again. Other times it will freeze, and I have to trn it off and on to get it unfrozen. I also can't read depth less t...

shoot from the hip when something like this comes up, without really thinking it through first. Unfortunately, once we speak up, we feel compelled to defend our statements. So it grows, like a vicious circle. I don't think most people are upset about this, I just think they haven't found a graceful ...

If the connections are fried, it may just have been bad connections that overheated. Buy some wire nuts or crimp connectors of the same size, cut off the bad connections, and redo them. If it was just a bad connection, this will do it. If it's more than that, you'll be able to tell because the conne...

Just another thought. When these people think about increasing their profits by exporting industries and jobs, I wish they'd remember what it does to the country and the jobless people they are leaving behind. There's a quote I once read that sticks in my head. It's kind of a guiding principle for m...

I hear you, Ron. It makes me mad when we elect people to lead us, and they wind up leading us down the garden path toward a sink hole. If we can see what's ahead, I know they can. Either they agree with what's going on, or they don't have the 'nads to try to do anything about it. I work for rich peo...
