best carolina worm there is

philip garcia

with out a doubt you should use Bob Myskey he really knows his stuff.

philip garcia

where can we get details on host hotels and blast off site? As soon as we get this info I'll send in my money

philip garcia

My partner and I are ready to sign up for all three events but we want to see all of the rule revisions. When will they be ready? Also how do you recieve your free rod and what is the am sign up prize?

I really enjoy the federation events and try to fish as many as possible. I went from an oroville tournament on saturday straight to the delta on sunday because they are so much fun to fish. My body wasn't very happy with me but it was worth it.

philip garcia

believe it or not procraftrob most of us oroville locals would only go out two days anyways. Think of your home lake do you think it would take you more than two days to find the right bite? I think the locals know there body of water enouph to not have to go out for four or five days.

philip garcia

Hey texas john I think they are allowed to stock it because it is a private lake and they purchace the fish from a private hatchery. I know every year they plant alot of trout from 5 to 8 pounds

philip garcia

I think the majority of us welcome the off limits. Remember you can still fish the weekend before just not mon,tues, and wed. For you worried about pros fishing during off limits it won't happen. There is no way someone would risk so much for so little. I was already going to fish these events but n...

philip garcia

I think that rods going from a full but grip to a spilt grip and the loss of foregrip isn't the style but evolution. The more things you have on a blank the less sensitive and heavier it is. The cork on the foregrip is not needed so why have it? Casting with a split grip is way easier because you ha...

philip garcia

some of my friends called me and told me the same thing so I understand the fee now. Maybe they could let us pay with atm or a voided check over the phone. Hey Brian it was a good time on the delta with you. I hope we can fish together in a shared wieght tourney I know we would weigh in some of your...

philip garcia

I think that it is what we really need right now. One major complaint that I have is with registering. Ac use to charge you three percent for using a card. Wich means if you call up and enter all three with a card there is a $36.00 fee on top of registration. I would think mailing a check would be m...

BASN DAN

one of the best post in a long time. I feel the same way. I just hope she doesn't find the nine new reels in the attic.

philip garcia

hey mac I hope you didn't freeze without your sweatshirt. I'll have it for you on the 7th. I'm sure we will be fishing together.

philip garcia

I know that poeple are upset at the change. But it is a business and they can do what ever they want. If you don't like the change then don't fish it and put you're money and support somewhere else. There are plenty of pro-ams and flw's this year. Last year they were the only pro-am in town but this...

philip garcia

you guys have to catch a limit before you can use it.

philip garcia

I a m trying to find out how to geta crucial crankbait blank. The price isn't an issue either.I was told that the blanks are all made and assembled in china.

philip garcia

In my opinion there are only two trailers yamamoto double tail and a sweet beaver.

philip garcia

philip garcia

the chronarch 50mg is the greatest reel ever. From fitting in your hand to being light and also casting as for as any other reel. I have ten that I use currently and just bought 8 and put them in the attic for when my others go out. I doubt they will make a better reel than that for a long time.Tack...

Only asian bass eat carp.

philip garcia

last week I bought 8 mg50's at 186.99 at the same sight. I kinda fell like I should of waited now.

philip garcia

I mean what angle the bend of the hook is from the shank to the eye . In other words the bend that is hidden in the head. If you have other questions you can call me. I will answer anything you need.

philip garcia

Hey Mac,
another big difference between a flipping and swimming jig is the hook degree. What i mean Mac is flipping jigs are usually at a 60 degree bend and a swimming jigs are normally 30 to 0 degrees. This is an overlooked factor sometimes but is a very important one.

philip garcia

believe me I am not a fan of praying for a 10lbs limit but here's the other side. I heard about the guys way back in the day fishing in the fall and winter that were looking for a couple bites a day. Well now that spots are in the lake some of the best fishing is in the fall and winter. I also think...

philip garcia

there are alot of things on this thread that get me thinking. Why would you not want to learn a new technique that really helps you in tournaments and make you a little more money. I am a swimbait guy and feel that I am pretty good with them but I do not throw the big ones. At least not in tournamen...

philip garcia

here is my entry for the contest.

I can't believe bidwell made me take my boat out.

philip garcia

my prayers have been answered

philip garcia

you really need two scales cul-m-rite is a tournament scale. they are very accurate and reliable scales. they are the most valuable tool in a tournament. But if you want it to wiegh big fish then it is not the scale for you. Once you get passed 7lbs they don't work very well. They are made for exact...

philip garcia

one thing you don't open the bait up. What I mean is don't hold open the ripped bait. just let it sit naturaly and put a drop on it. It will run into the rip by itself.

philip garcia

I'm sad to here that bob my partner and I were really looking forward to it.

philip garcia

Yes I think you should rip a guy that claims to have two lake records. Earlier this year I finally talked one of my best friends to fish a pro-am and a stren. He went up and stayed with me for the clearlake events. These were going to be his first tournaments ever. The first day of the pro-am he dra...

philip garcia

Don't even get me started on that guy.

philip garcia

also for you pros that cant fish the rookie and semi-pro league there is a real chance to make some money. And that chance is the california team trail. 100% is going out on a limb with this and I hope it works. So there is a real option for us guys that can't fish the entry level circut. It is also...

philip garcia

I make all of my jigs and jigheads and I have found that the best and cheapest company is www.barlowstackle.com The price on molds is unmatched.

philip garcia

I might have a back seat give me a call and we can talk

philip garcia

I have been using football heads on my basstrix for a long time and have had great succes. I think it makes the bait even better. I use a 3/8 head . just cut the nose of the basstrixjust enough to make it flat. then you but your football head next to it find out were it will penetrate and poke a hol...

philip garcia

congrats justin!! Out of the back of the boat and being as consistant as you have been is more than amazing.Last time we talked on the phone you said you were just trying to keep up with me. Well I thought it was the other way around. I think that winning from the front of the boat is way easier tha...

philip garcia

great finish mike! I had the privalidge of fishing with him at havasu. Niether one of us even got a bite but it was still a great day. Since we didn't catch fish we just talked all day. He is a real class act.

philip garcia

No greg that was jan. this year. I didn't go to that one but I was there three days before that at the won bass pro-am and it was horrible. from what people told me it got even worse for flw.

philip garcia

The wind would have to be day 4 of the 2008 stren at clearlake. IT took me 45 minutes to get from fraizer to redbud going as fast as possible and my boats a 20 footer. I will give another vote to 2007 stren at shasta. My livewell lids froze shut and if you laid a fish on the carpet it would stick. A...

philip garcia

i'm with you jason milligan spent the hole weekend there. Even talked my friends Alan Hunt and Steve Biechman into giving me a little local knowledge and taking me out. IT was a waste of my time and money. Not to mention my friends valuable days off of work. I'm calling them tomorrow for a refund I ...

philip garcia

just to let you know shasta event has been changed to the delta

philip garcia

It's always hard to get the right message across on the forum so let me help clarify what I mean. With the life tags I don't pull them out of the livewell with them. I meant at the end of the day when I go to put them in the bag undoing the tag it always gets stuck in the spines on the gill plates a...

philip garcia

I agree with you guys but let me give you the other side of the coin. I fish over 20 tournaments a year and have tried everything because I also care about the fish. But I have found that most of these new ways arent very good. The life tags were ok but when you go to pull them out they hang up on t...

philip garcia

If you are going to fish one of the strens as a co-angler I would for sure fish clearlake. The clearlake event is mar 5-7 and that is one of the best times on that body of water. Not to mention for a co-angler. The delta event is on may 28-30 and Iam not a big fan of that time of year.I'm sure lots ...

philip garcia

I have fished this lake alot. The only thing that really seams to work well and catch the bigger fish is a fluke. Make sure you get out of the marina. the fish there are to smart. I like the coves across the marina on the other side of the arm and past the no ski bouys. There is a nice weed line up ...

philip garcia

I got my sticker before it cost me. but $10.00 is pretty cheap to go to one of the best lakes in the country. You have to figure that they messed up a long time ago for not charging a launch fee, so this is thier way of charging. Also by not inspecting or educating in the next year or so they will b...

philip garcia

My vote is for steve biechman. He will make it exactly the way you want.He has made me 6 rods and getting ready to make 4 more. I have had him do alot of unique things for me and he has come threw every time.

philip garcia

I fished non-boater and co-angler for five years before moving to the front.The thing you have to realize is there is a big diffrence between them. A non-boater draws a pro and you fish as a team. This is great for a lot of reasons, 1 he wants you to cath fish,2 he will help you any way he can, and ...

philip garcia

everyone will have a complaint about every circuit. most of the people complaining about the money are not ready for this. bob will have no problem filling this. He will be getting my entry forms soon.The money you can make on this is pretty good. Not to mention the TOC.Most TOC's have way more boat...
