**New top prize for the CBC at Elsinore***

TEAMDEADMONEY · Post by **TEAMDEADMONEY** » Thu Jun 17, 2010 3:36 pm

I went and prefished at that joke of a lake and in 6 1/2 hours I lost 5 reaction baits and 23 other hooks and weights ALL for ZERO bites!!! Yeah Im dialed in...hahaha NOT!
Water temp is 80-83 degrees, visibility is 6 inches and the bass are far and few in between...
This tournament is going to be EXTREMELY tough and my prediction is only like 5-7 people will even bring a bass to the scales...
I know a couple of guys will get a couple ..MAYBE... but I highly doubt all 10 qualifying spots will be filled with guys that caught fish..
I'll be blanking most likely..
After how hard i prefished without a bite, Id be surprised if i even catch a bass...But I'll be there trying my best.
All that being said... Ive enlisted one of Lake Elsinores finest residents to go home with the winner of this state championship qualifier..
.
.

The prize for the winner of the CBC event at Elsinore gets this hot mama..
Lake Elsinores Finest..

Good luck fellas...we are gonna need it!!!

I hear that Kramer monitors the water levels closely at Elsinore. When the water drops...he cleans up! How do you think he gets all that tackle he writes about???

On the city's website I found this:

Lake Elsinore to Host State Bass Championship Hopefuls

40 SoCal champion anglers make fast stop on June 25th in pursuit of the crown

Posted Date: 6/15/2010 11:00 AM

LAKE ELSINORE--Although brief, a June 25th visit to Lake Elsinore will play a key role in the final crowning of a 2010 California state bass fishing champion.

That Friday morning, 40 of Southern Californiaâ€™s top bass anglers will compete in the California Bass Fishing Championship (CBC tour).

Each of the top 10 finishers from Region 1 (Inland Empire/San Diego) will earn $1000 in this Regional final and qualify for the state title at Clear Lake later in the year.

The contestantsâ€™ angling resumes include competitive individual and team expertise as well as professional guiding experience. To qualify for the CBC Regional, each angler fished solo and needed to finish in the top 10 at one of four venues: Diamond Valley, Perris, Lower Otay or Lake Hodges earlier this year.

The test will be especially challenging since California angling regulations stipulate only six hours of angling time may elapse before the contestants must weigh in their live catch. The competitors will launch and weigh-in at the Cityâ€™s Seaport Boat Launch & Landing with the tournament hours expected to run from 6 a.m. to noon.

More information on the CBC can be found at www.californiabasschampionship.com.

Petey... use the force padawan . There are plenty of bass in Elsi, you just gotta find 'em. Kramer has been dishing out nuggets of advice on his web site on how to catch them.

Don't matter if you catch one or 5 fish to make the top 10 cut, the $1000 will spend the same.

How about the bags on the shoreline. Were they filled with dead carp? I was told there was a bunch of dead carp on the bank. When I went all I saw were a bunch of plastic bags full of something every 40 foot or so down the shore.

TEAMDEADMONEY · Post by **TEAMDEADMONEY** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 2:48 pm

There are dead carp EVERYWHERE...

It kinda makes the place stink more than it already does!!

I saw probably 100 +dead carp during the day...

Pete, I need that lady's #. Do you think she'll fish the next night event with me?

Rick G · Post by **Rick G** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 7:08 am

I have an idea. Why not have Tom L. go out on Elsinore on Thursday and if he catches one, legally, we fish there on Friday. If not we all just show up at DVL on Friday morning and have a fun event where they are chewin! How about a vote? Rick G.

It's a one in four chance at a thousand bucks. I know it's a tough lake but I'm kinda glad we didn't end up at big bear. That's a long drive to prefish. Best of luck.

If necessary we will now have all the fish offs at Lake Elsinore until the top ten are qualified, you can all thank Hippie for that.

Ya Tom. What happens if the ENTIRE field blanks??? Probably won't happen, but what if ?

hippie · Post by **hippie** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:09 pm

Oh stop it Robert just because you have fished for bass on that mud hole more than almost all of us. We need to ban together and have some fun skiing and wake boarding. Ill pull Grover on the pink inner tube 1st. Whos got there thongs ready for friday its going to be hot. Hopefully Kreamer will capturea picture of me in my pink banana hammock.

Anybody know if the Salton Sea has any bass tourney permits left for that date? You guys could always go that route and chuck some. I'll even give you a tip. The main forage is Talapia.

619 · Post by **619** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 5:44 am

Hippie you would actually swim in that place. Make sure you are up to date with all your shots.

leachman90 · Post by **leachman90** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 6:01 am

So if you don't get 10 guys with even 1 fish does a tie breaker go back to your 1st qualifying weight? From the sounds of it 1 or 2 of the right fish might get you through.

As for a winner I am with Hollywood on this one. How could you not have Wick at the top of your list? Dude has been tearing it up this year. As for the "one trick pony" label he has, that will be shed after Els and Mead and then Clear.

hippie · Post by **hippie** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 7:32 am

Wick is a great angler, but you are forgeting me i will beat WICK. Who WWWON the CBC tourny at DV.? Get off of WIcks PELOTAS, I love the man my pick is Robert S. for the win. he has a multi use Ranger he going to win

Got 2 do something for all the triple trouts he has sent me. Besides I haven't been to far off each time I said he was going to do well. I did pick him for the HBC didn't I?

BUT back to my Q, what happens if there are not 10 guys with a fish?

Mike Phua · Post by **Mike Phua** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 9:02 am

Oh I see...........So what your saying is Wick buys his Fan Club members.

MP

All i've done is shared years of fishing knowledge with him and put him on Donkies all year and I can't get a darter head from him.

Must be nice!

jsoregon · Post by **jsoregon** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 9:06 am

Hey Jim, I'm not sure if I'm suppose to share this publicly, but Wick told me those were all knock off triple trouts that swim like a retarded trout...so he figured a cross eyed guy in Tri Cities wouldn't notice the difference...

(haha...

)

Call me when you get down here. Don't call J-Dub to go fishing...he'll just be fishing on Phua's junk.

FYI guys...Phua's new secret bait is the The Triple Gout.

Mike, I will bring extra darter heads down to the OPEN for you. I know your the brains behind the team,just don't tell Wick I said that.

I will be in Hemet on the 10th,11 and 12th on our way to the Open. Were looking at some rentals down there and hope to be living there by Sept or Oct.

Brian D. · Post by **Brian D.** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 2:10 pm

New swimbait called the "double trout" aka "retarded trout". They swim in circles and have twice the bite.

Coming soon to a fine retailer near you.

jwick22 · Post by **jwick22** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 4:38 pm

LEAVE MY 1 FAN ALONE! Jim is the MAN! For the record. I sent Jim 1 Triple trout because he gave me a ton of info for the Columbia River and Shuttled me around everywhere!

James Smiley is the guy nobody has ever heard of

As far as Mike and I doing well we have.....I am the captained though

HBC.......My SPOT! Even got you a 2nd place in the top stick 2 day. Its all about timing and i know what time it is.....

Well now that the cat is out of the bag I might as well spell it out. We were going to way til the OPEN to announce Johns new venture. Since we all know Wick has this little "one trick pony" syndrome going on he has decided to try the corporate side of bass fishing. So at this time John is my only "cash" sponcer. In return I say nice things about him.I think it is a fair trade off.

John will also being making a new web site. You can check it out at

wickedfishing@jchub.dvl

Lets all show Mr Wick some love now.

And yes when he is around I have to call him Mr Wick.
