I will be traveling to SLO, then UCSB this weekend to move in my daughter at college. Her boyfriend is already at Cal-poly, but we are stopping by to say hello on our way to UCSB. Is TWH open on weekends? Is it far off the beaten path? Is it mail order only? Will my wife let me buy more Luckycraft b...

Riplip

Yeah, the problem with this time of year is you can't get it back! Even if it warms up to seasonal temps next week the cold nights are cooling the waters and the short days aren't enough to reverse it much.Oh well, bring on fall!

50lb spiderwire stealth, last ten feet blackened with a marker, on a 6'6" MH fast taper.

Hey Bones... I'm used to a frog bite well into October, but the jig bite is encouraging! The fall jig and crankbait patterns are what I live for! Thanx for the update!

Riplip

Damn! Wish I could go!

Riplip

With the recent cool weather anyone notice early fall patterns emerging? I see my tree's leaves starting to turn already and it's been downright cold in the evening latley. I'm used to this weather pattern in late October, not early September. I haven't been able to get out on the delta for the last...

Riplip

When is it?

Riplip

All good advice above. Some thoughts... You said you were bank fishing. Many times when I used to miss fish froggin I had a poor angle of approach to the hookset. Barrack pointed out to me his technique, and since I started working on it my hookup ratio has been around 75% or better. It requires som...

Riplip

How about an TM only event? It could be held at Russo's (plenty of fish nearby) and the "blastoff" would be something to see.

Riplip

Black buzzbait early and late, rest of the day flippin and tossin a frog in the tulle pockets. Crankbaits for numbers.

Riplip

You sure look happy in that picture!

In 10lb mean green

i'm leaning toward the LV-500 as suggested. I see it i supposed to run around 12ft deep...I'm not used to that kind of depth with a rattletrap. Should I get a LV 200 as well for the shallower stuff I usually fish?

Riplip

But which models?

Riplip

National Bass West?

Riplip

I'm looking to purchase a Luckycraft rattlebait for the first time. I have several Pointers and Stacee's, but I have never tried their lipless baits. I have a limited budget, esp. when it comes to $16 baits. Which bait in what color would you pick if you could only have one or two? :? I fish the del...

Riplip

Color the line solid black out about ten feet or so, then color a couple of short sections alternating black with a bright flourescent color. I find this helps to identify the path my bait will take as well as provide an easy to see mark when the light is low. I have not found any difference in stri...

Riplip

OK, since I have to Field Marshall a soccor touney this weekend and can't partake in the Snagproof...How do 'yall think this weather will affect the bite? Will the topwater turn off? Are the supply of WiggleWogs in jeapordy?...

Wishin I was fishin!

Riplip

Hey Alton, nice interview! You absolutely have a great face for radio!

Riplip

We out west have always been a little different than "Ike" anyway. Seens to me many, if not most new techniques and tactitcs so responsible for success on the BASS tour have their genesis in true "westernbass" fishing. Do we really need BASS to be solvent in the west? Is ESPN exp...

Riplip

You just may get it. I am personally torn between wanting to see our great sport thrive (esp. out west) and wanting the growth of our passion to slow down. Selfish, huh? There are no new fisheries in the works that I know of. The rescources are fixed. I will allow that bass fishing now is better tha...

Riplip

Struggling a bit with the summer patterns out on the delta. In years past I would usually do well on buzzbait or pitchin a jig. Seemed like it was always an either/or kind of thing. This year the only quality fish I have caught have come crankin. Is it because we are about a month behind in the weat...

Riplip

I agree with most of the above advice. Rattletraps will come through weeds pretty well, but I personally prefer Speedtraps. The important element is rod position and lure speed. I find if I crank it down to the inside edge (or opposite edge) and stop as soon as I contact the weeds, then keep contact...

Riplip

So many times the last few years I have heard the guys getting the checks say " I just waited for the right time/conditions and caught all my frog fish in an hour" or something similar. I am still learnig this aspect of fishing on the river and i'm not sure what to look for. I suspect tide...

Riplip

Stopped by Phil's on the way back from Oregon on Sunday and got a look at the new Okuma baitcasters. 8BB's, 6.3:1 ratio, feels great... anyone tried 'em? How do they compare with Curados? The $99 price is very enticing!

Riplip

The other day is was goin' down a favorite stretch in the delta, flippin' and pitchin' along the grass pockets at low tide. Up ahead in some sparse tules I hear a sound sort of like half a hiss, half a grunt. I look in the area where i think it's comming from, which is mostly thick grass floating at...

Riplip

I checked Snag-proof website...don't see anything about a frog rod. where can I get some info?

Riplip

worth the wait. It's kinda ironic though, I recieved TWO copies at the same time...Wasup with that? BTW Basswest, I gave my extra copy to a friend who is so impressed he filled out a subscription right away! Hey, maybe thats why I got two? I see...

Riplip

Five huh? O.K., I will try 1. 1/4 oz rapala Fatrap in shad color (the wooden one, no rattles) 2. LC Staycee in Chartruse shad 3. 7A bomber in firetiger or red craw 4. Spook in Baby bass 5. Bagley's Balsa B (DB1) in Dark craw Honorable mention: 1/2 oz Rattletrap, Splash-it, Timbertiger, Pop-R, and a ...

Riplip

Hey Alton, face it....the kid's just better than you

!

Riplip

Vince, the replies are on the money. As far as setup, I personally prefer a 61/2 ft med action quality rod,Okuma reel filled with 6lb Mcoy, and a very light darthead (1/32, 1/8) painted to match any 4 or 6 in. worm you feel good about. Shake 'em on the way down in a vertical presentation such as alo...

Riplip

or back issues of BWB mags, Detwiler elec/hydraulic systems are THE BOMB! Allows you to talior your setup to the current weight and weight distribution in your boat for max performance/handling. Also allows you to keep water pickups wet while idling in very shallow water. Best of all, you can run mo...

Riplip

Nice job Alton...BTW how's the new ride? Got her broken in yet?

Titelines, Wes

Riplip

They fit great over your perscription glasses and are made for fishing, plus they are only about $30.

Riplip

Can we check in at Russo's, or do we need to stop by Extreme angler?
