Check out the Pflueger Summit reels at BPS. They have 10 ball bearings, throw heavy or light line and lures, weigh less than 8 ozs., and are only $160+-. Great for worming with a baitcaster, light ripbaits, lightweight rod, reel, and lure combinations in general. Will also handle heavier line, but t...

Is it possible to do spell check on this site? I hate seeing all my typos and misspelled words after I hit submit. It makes me look dum...err... stoopid..err... well, you know.

Kidfisher, Like Bob G and Flipthati=jig said, you don't need sixteen different rods for sixteen different lures. But there are several different action and power rods that do perform different task better than others, and so make fishing easier and more enjoyable. I've found that a 6'6"Crucial ...

That's terrible. My condolences to the family. here's never a good time for a tragic accident, but when it happens around the holidays it seems to bring things into sharper focus.
My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

Oh man oh man, it sounds like the Bomb!!! And with a laser guidance system, it's the Smart Bomb! Whoda thunkit??

Do you take plastic, or pay pal?

I heard you tested it side by side with a Biosonix, and it flat out blew the doors off KVD's little pride and joy. Can you release the test data?

3-6 lbs.!!! Talk about super size me.

mark poulson

My partner and I will be there.

If the fuse was the problem, you should put another 15 amp back. That fuse is sized to protect the circut/accessory from burning out. If you put too big a fuse in, you defeat the purpose of the fuse. If the fuse was on your trolling motor circut, and your batteries are new, chances are you have a pr...

Can't sleep. Too excited about the turkey shoot.

Didn't the Filmore hatchery have to dump a lot of their stock due to the fires, and now they're trying to rebuild their "inventory"?

mark poulson

I'm no expert, but I've been using a St.Croix 7' med. extra fast tip graphite rod for throwing ripbaits, like the Orbit 80 and the Pointer 78. I try to use the lightest rod I can that will throw the lure and let me work it well. Compre rods have some nice actions in the med. with fast tips. I lean t...

How do you combat road hypnosis? You know, when everything looks like it's small, and far away. That's the worst.
Since I've found Red Bull, I don't leave home without it. I'd rather be wired than dead.

mark poulson

Either that, or a trouser trout with teeth!

James Worthy pulled a bonehead, and he wound up with Hall of Fame credentials. You want to talk about dumb plays, how many players have the Dodgers, who I love, given away to go on to great careers? Lets start with Pedro Martinez, Mr. Too Weak! If the Bruins had been a better team, they'd have won. ...

In my experience, limited though it is, either the barometer was dropping, or there had been several days of stable, warmer weather.
If the baitfish move up, so will the bass. I've caught some of my best bass shallow after several days of warm weather in the middle of winter.

Sushi!!

I have small hands, and the power hump is very comfortable for me. You can cast all day and not get a sore wrist.

mark poulson

I'd send the charger back. Too long a cord could cause enough of a voltage drop to make the charger overheat, and the charger may have thermal overload protection, so it shuts off automatically if it gets hot. But that seems really unlikely to me. Chargers don't pull that much power in the first pla...

I use the Spro bucktail jig for stripers.

mark poulson

I've had two Pflueger Summit baitcasters and one Supreme for about nine months now. I use them every time out. The thumb bar is a little higher than the Quantums and Shimanos I have, but the reels are all great. I throw Orbit 80's with one, and 1/8oz. jigworms with another, and they are a dream to c...

TK,
That sounds like a great idea! I'm starting to look for a light with a suction cup tonight.
Mark

mark poulson

She'll never look as bad as us.

mark poulson

Jonathan,
Thanks for the quick response.
Does your light blind you when you look back there at night?
In the past I've use black tape to mask off the front quarter of the light, but I think that's illegal.

mark poulson

Is there a minimum height requirement for the rear nav. light?
I tried a taller light, to keep it out of my partner's eyes, but it's still blinding.
Last summer I ran into a guy who'd shortened his to about 2'.
Is that legal for night tournaments? For the Coast Guard requirements?

mark poulson

I don't have a ride for you, but I do have best wishes for a great holiday season and new year for you and yours.

mark poulson

That looked like a 360 to me. Is that another Champ driver with poor eyesight? I mean, didn't he see the camera boat?

mark poulson

Bassbones,
I have to agree with you. I live better than 99% of the world. I need to share more.

mark poulson

I can see I got off cheap and easy with just two leaf springs and a tire.
Counting my blessings.

mark poulson

I Googled "boat trailer leaf springs los angeles calif". I got a bunch of national suppliers, and one local in long beach, who I'm going to talk to Tuesday. If I were you, I'd try that. I wouldn't get the same springs from the trailer manuf. After hearing the promo on the RMD website, I wa...

mark poulson

Cooch, I hear you about the small price to pay. After I get the leaf spring and tire, I'll think about it. But right now I'm saving for the 987C SI. And my very own Cooch "Delta Special" bass call. Jonathan Ashcraft told me that you just squeeze it and the bass come running. He said it goe...

Marty,
When it comes to fishing, lesson #4 is certainly true!

mark poulson

I had someone try to steal my spare at Cachuma, when I was parked in the upper lot. Only the little padlock stopped them. I think someone must have spooked them off, because the lock is so small, a good pair of diagonal pliers would have cut right through it. Sounds like you had a real run of bad lu...

mark poulson

That is a real topper!
I was gonna say something about how we both must live right, but the truth is probably closer to that old saying about the sun shining on every dog's a$$ one day.

Either way, we both got really lucky, and crossed paths with a couple of good people.

mark poulson

If you're fishing from a Tracker, whatever you post must be worth repeating!

mark poulson

I called Jeff Jue after we had both fished Castaic yesterday to see how he had done. He told me he had "caught" a rod and reel in Bones Cove. He said the rod's cork was kind of trashed, but it was in good shape otherwise, and the reel seemed okay other than being cruded up with sediment. H...

I dodged a bullet this morning. I had a leaf spring break on my Trailstar Tracker 175 trailer while I was doing 55+ on the freeway on the way to the lake. I heard a squeal, my partner saw the tire smoking on the passenger side of the trailer, and I dropped to 15mph, put my flashers on, and pulled of...

mark poulson

Ray,
Have you tried the Gulp saltwater shrimps as trailers? They're the right size.

mark poulson

The biggest wake maker at Castaic is the Police in their new patrol boat, the "Tsumani". Talk about a barge! It looks like an ocean going ship. All it needs is a 50 calibur cannon on the front deck! When they go by, everyone knows it. And they're not even going that fast, it just displaces...

mark poulson

Where'd you buy it, and did you have it installed? And how much?

Conratulations to you both. You've only just begun. Enjoy.

Jeff,
Do you have a phone number for Action Tackle?

mark poulson

Now Jeff,
You know there's not enough room on an Ika to write, "Please bite me". Or even, "Yummy".
How do you manage the things you write on that 4 1/2" dropshot worm?

mark poulson

Maybe this is a dumb question, but how is having more than five fish in the livewell before weighin an advantage? I could see if you could weigh more than five, but, other than that, it would seem to me that more fish are going to stress each other more, and make a dead fish a better possiblility. I...

They have a great team there, and it starts with Rick and Cindy.
