moving 1 so you can fish it. Really Dan..... Dan I posted back to you on your question to me by the way.

Dan P · Post by **Dan P** » Sat Dec 12, 2009 9:46 am

Got it Ray, let me know as that cut off is by the 30th. As far as the derby on the 22nd, It's so I can help with the tournament of course.

What about the teams that don't have compliant motors to fish DVL?

Kelly Ripa · Post by **Kelly Ripa** » Sat Dec 12, 2009 8:37 pm

Looks like they be S.O.L....?

Ray L. · Post by **Ray L.** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 6:11 am

John and I have thought about that and have come up with a plan to solve it. If you qualify you will be helped by John and I.

So we (Joe's) are definitely out for the 20th since the (pro's) are go'n outta Castaic on the 20th..any idea as to when and where the Joe's first Tournament will be held? April at Pyramid???

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 11:43 am

Kelly:
The first event will be March at Pyramid. Right now because of the overcrowding at Castaic. Right now it looks like we will add one on the end.

Not Piru but Pyramid in March on the same day as the pro's? 6 hour tournament?..Oh well, I better have my stuff together...

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 1:24 pm

The 6 hour rule doesn't start until June 15th so I'm not sure what you afre talking about Kelly.

Kelly Ripa · Post by **Kelly Ripa** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 1:55 pm

Well it said tack one on at the end and we are schuduled up to the 13th...I assumed tacking one on the end would be after the June 13th tournament sometime in July...I don't care ......Hell, let's fish this weekend!

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 1:59 pm

You're right unless we can find a way to do a double along the way

The first event to be rescheduled was set for Feb 28th at Castaic and that is not shown above. I beleive the four event schedule above is correct!

Ray/JB: Please verify the above information and if I am not correct please correct me. Juggling these tournament schedules with my rotating work schedule can be very challenging to say the least. On top of that I am a full time baseball umpire and the leagues are putting teir schedules out as we speak and im trying my best to make evrything work out. First part of April is tough time for family guys because of spring break for the school districts.

Thanks; Big Ed!

Ray L. · Post by **Ray L.** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 5:02 pm

Ed those you see are all correct. We are looking at July sometime for the make up date. That way we still have a 5 event series.

JeffJ · Post by **JeffJ** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 5:44 pm

ok now I am getting confused. First tourney is Pyramid in march but it says Piru?? Which is correct?

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 5:49 pm

Please don't get confused the schedule is exactly the same. Drop the castaic and go to Piru. Should be a big weight. I think big fish for this event will be over 10 pounds.

We better hope for some BIG rains by then or we will be fishing shoulder to shoulder. I was there a few weeks ago and played leap frog with just 3 boats. That place is super small right now. No North end at all. They are bringing in water from Pyramid I heard but not enough fast enough.

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 6:08 pm

Remember that Piru gets it's water from Pryamid. When I went by Pryamid the other day there was no "old" water line. The lake was at full pool. Don't worry about levels just yet.

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 7:18 am

Well then I got some bad information from both Piru and Pyramid. I was told by Pyramid that water goes to Castaic and Piru. Piru said they get water when they get to a point that threatens the water levels for irrigation down stream.

I hate it when people tell me things when they don't know what they are taking about.

Ray L. · Post by **Ray L.** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 10:03 am

Piru does get water from Pyramid. There is a water meter type thing on upper Piru creek and whatever flows in Pyramid flows out.

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 11:11 am

I forgot this as well there is also an endangered frog up river from Piru that must be protected, by court order, Pyramid must keep a certain amount of water flowing. I do not know how much but it must keep this frog wet.

I get my water out of a can

JeffJ · Post by **JeffJ** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 8:39 pm

Throw the left over drops into Piru it needs it bad!

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Wed Jan 06, 2010 6:04 am

With as much beer that is drank with this group we could probably bring the lake up a couple of feet if you guys would pee in the lake every time you went.

By the way, did you guys notice how bad this thread got hi-jacked? It went from Top Stick Joes to peeing in the lake.

Sorry, I get my water from a can...after the Top Stick Joe's events at Piru that gets its water from Castaic and Pyramid. I do this to preserve the frogs up there...

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Wed Jan 06, 2010 8:13 am

I realized we hi-jacked thread hence the trying to get the water level up by peeing in it.

JB and RayEl;

Have you guys considered when the July 2010 event will be held if even at all? At this time it seems it might be more reasonable to simply make the TSJ a four event schedule in light of the scheduling conflicts.

Last season when the schedule was changed it caused several of the regular qualifying anglers to not be able to make the TOC. We anglers understand that things come up and that sometimes things are out of your control so you just have to do what you can.

Im attempting to book my annual Albacore trip and a family camping vacation in July 2010 not to mention I work the weekend of July 10th so if you guys could post something soon about the TSJ extra event in July that would help things alot.

My wife keeps asking me when im going to make our reservations!

Thanks; Big Ed!

Ed,
We are actually talking about it this week. You are on to something I have thought about. There are a few problems with it but as long as I can make it work we wil go ahead with my plan.
