I think it is a rock bass or any other name you want to call it. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://northernfishing.net/img/rockbass01.gif&imgrefurl=http://northernfishing.net/rockbass.shtml&h=235&w=353&sz=68&tbnid=vmMpz06CJw__IM:&tbnh=81&tbnw=121&prev=/images...

I use Boo-Yah most of the time. They normally run good out of the pack and will still be good after several fish. If they bend they normally are just as good after you straighten them out. They come in several models and colors. You can take a file to the rivet or squeez them, or anything else you w...

Here is a link to an article that I saw on ESPN today. Dude caught a 18 pounder then fried it. Just like George Perry. http://www.gon.com/article.php?id=2039&cid=158 And like George Perry, not everyone purely fishes for the sporting aspect... I really don't care what people do with the fish the...

If common courtesy and common sense were so common we probably wouldn't have this problem. If it is public water who ever is there first is there first, money on the line or not. I would look at the situation from the view of would I get mad if someone done to me what I am gettng ready to do to this...

Saw Cooch on TV today with former Padres pitcher Randy Jones and NFL coach Denis Green fishing the delta sporting his Western Bass shirt.

Nice job Roger. My wife and kids are thinking about going to San Fran in june for a few days. I might have to sneek a rod and reel in the vehicle before we leave and try my luck at the Delta for a day. Bro, you know the setup... you don't even have to bring a rig... I've got plenty of gear, althoug...

Good job Tunaman. After fishing with you at DVL I didn't think it would take you long to catch a DD.

Hillbilly in Cali

I am in the Army and will look here on post. I will let you know if I find any.

Hillbilly in Cali

I use them a lot. I prefer to throw it in thick cover so I don't use a trailer hook. If it is really thick I will throw frogs. Depending on what the fish want it can mean throwing a lot of different baits. As an example 2 years in a row my brother and I went to a creek that runs into a lake in KY an...

Hillbilly in Cali

I would love to be there Roger, but like I said when we went to DVL, my work days are a little different than most peoples. I am always up for some adult refreshments and a little fishing. When you get moved in up north send me your address and I will send you the book Sowbelly. I have read it twice...

Glad to hear everything is on the positive. You are right you can get a certain vitamin from the sun. If you want to fish when ever you fell ike it I don't suggest trying to get it by fishing in the buff. But then again being cancer free is a good reason to get a little crazy.

Hillbilly in Cali

I weighed it on my Rapala hand scale and it was 14lbs 15oz. Kinda makes you wonder if some of the fish that weighed 10-11lbs on my handheld were not closer to 12lbs. I have some Rapala scales and they weigh fish light. I have some weights that I put on them. A 2.5, 5, and 10 all weigh 4 ounces ligh...

The tunaman took me out yesterday to DVL and I got the Cali skunk off my back. We saw several nice fish but couldn't get them to bite. Learned a little about the drop shot rig and the advantage of floracarbon line over braid in some situations. Once again thank you very much for taking me out Roger.

Hillbilly in Cali

Hillbilly, You are going out with one of So Cals finest. Roger and Mona do so much for our Bassin friends...you are in for a treat. Roger will get you all set up. Get there early enough to hit up the Farmer Boys for that Burrito...really good. If you can ever make it up to Castaic, I usually have a...

Hillbilly in Cali

Shoot me a PM with your address and phone number and we will give it a try. My navigation system is broke so I may have to call if I get lost

. I really appreciate you offering to take me out. What time should I show up?

Hillbilly in Cali

You're a serviceman, right? I seem to remember that. If that is the case, and you want to go out and fish DVL from the back of my boat, send me a PM with your contact information and I'll take you out. I was thinking of going anyway - haven't been in quite some time, so it would be the perfect reas...

I am going to lake puddingstone Thursday morning and fishing from the bank. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am also open to other lakes in the L.A. are that may be better options from the bank.

Most people do support the troops but there is a few that is way out there and is stealing air from the rest of us. The president issue is a whole different story. My father in-law is a good example. He is a Democrate, hates Bush, and told my wife that he wished McCain was a Dem because he wanted to...

If you guys get ticked off listening to people talk about the events of 9/11 you should walk a mile in my shoes. I am in the military and have been to IraqX2 and Afghanistan. People wonder why we have not caught Bin Laden yet, google something called the Church Committee. Most Americans don't have t...

My name is Kevin Smith and I am 35 years old. Grew up in KY joined the Army moved to North Carolina then Korea then NC again and I now live at Ft Irwin, CA near Barstow. I fish from the bank because with my past duty stations I have been deployed a lot and I don't want a boat that is just going to s...

Anyone here have any info on Rattlesnake Lures, a Georgia company. They were around about twenty years ago. I am hoping they still are, maybe under another name. Mark, Here is some info that I found that may help. It says they were bought out but they still make the lures. http://www.screamingreel....

That is what I use also. If I can't find those I use a Eagle Claw hook that looks the same but is not a wide gap. That is the only set back.

Clarksville, TN. Close to Nashville for all the medical and shopping stuff with Kentucky and Barkley lake near by. Several lakes in Nashville as well. Glasgow, KY is another nice place.

I fished Puddingstone from the bank about three weeks ago and didn't get a sniff. Can I get a few tips? I am in the Army and live at Ft Irwin near Barstow and dont have a boat and can only go about once every three weeks due to work. If you are one of the tournament guys and don't want to let the ca...

A link to the south. Interesting.

Here is a link from the south page. I think Matts looks more like a blluegill but I also think Bills is different. What about the storm wild eye? To each his own. Buy from which ever guy you want to buy from is my take.

I normally use Booyah buzz baits. There is times when fish want a bait with no clacker and a slow retrieve and other times when they want it fast and loud. Buy several different types and use them and figure out what you like. My brother only throws strike king buzz baits because that is what he lik...

I have a pair of Oakleys that my wife bought me when I lived in NC. They work ok in clear water with bright sun. I have a pair that I bought at Bass Pro Shops with brownish colored lenses that work better in low light conditions and in darker water. For me I like glasses that come around to the corn...

Does anyone know where I can send a Daiwa Fuego reel and have it repaired in less than one month.

Thanks in advance.

Hillbilly in Cali

Does anyone know a place I can send a Fuego reel to and have it repaired and returned within a month or less?

Thanks in advance.

Hillbilly in Cali

Thanks for your thoughts. I am somewhat new to swimbait fishing and thought that a different bait may draw a few strikes from fish that see a Hudd, Castaic, and other baits on a daily basis.

Hillbilly in Cali

I was on line today looking for a place to send my daiwa fuego reel to be repaired and saw the daiwa dead or alive lure. Has anyone used it or have any thoughts on the bait?

Hillbilly in Cali

Channel 608 has fishing shows as well

Hillbilly in Cali

Thanks for the info

How does a person find out which lakes are open to the public and which ones are not? If the lake is not open to the public, how does some one gain access?

Hillbilly in Cali

I was just online at google maps looking at different places for me to go fishing this weekend and found some lakes that are not mentioned in the reports section on the website. Does anyone have any info on these lakes.

Thanks in advance.

Lake Gregory, Arrowhead, Matthews, Morris, and Stone Canyon

Hillbilly in Cali

I think I have PM'd you before mike and asked about your Bronze Star. I have to buy some stuff this weekend because it has been about 6 months since I have been fishing and I don't trust the old stuff, but next weekend I will be there and maybe Castaic. I have a four day weekend. When in the militar...

A guy I work with lives in silver lakes and said he would give me his guest pass so that I could fish silver lakes. The lake is near Victorville and is a gated community, I think.

Has anyone fished there? If so is it worth my time going there and what should I use?

Hillbilly in Cali

Is there any chemicals that kills the mussle and is not harmful to the environment or boats/vehicles? If so there could be a pit that the vehicle that is pulling the boat and the boat it self pull through with the chemical or be sprayed down before and after entering/exiting a lake. You would not ha...

Has anyone ever thought about a GPS device? I have heard commercials advertising a product called Lo Jack? It can locate your car if stolen. Cellphones has them, fish finders even has GPS. Why not have one that will track a boat/trailer/truck for the determined amount of time. Some will say that it ...

Hillbilly in Cali

I have a Diawa Fuego and I have had trouble with the reel backlashing on me as well. It sounds as if something is broke on the inside of it. When it is working I love it but when it starts backlashing I want to through it in the lake.

Hillbilly in Cali

Thanks for the info. I am a soldier and live at Ft Irwin, CA. I am currently in a school in Arizonia, so I wont have a chance to send the reel until April. The problem with the reel, I think, is the braking system. It is begining to cut a groove in the brass that is in the side plate. Can you fix it?

Hillbilly in Cali

I have a Shimano Curado that I need to have repaired. Can you post the address to send the reels to?

Thanks in advance.

Hillbilly in Cali

Thanks for the info. Let me start off by saying that I don't have a boat because as much as I am gone it would spend most of the time parked in the yard, so I will be fishing from the bank. Second, I really don't like to catch fish off of the bed that much. I do like to watch bass when they are on t...

I moved to California in September and I am in the military. I am currently in a school in Arizona. I will not be back to Cal until April. Will I miss the spawn?

Under Armor is good gear. Since I am in the Army we do get some pretty good stuff from time to time to keep us warm. When I went to Northern Iraq we got some Outdoor Research stuff, O R Gear. If your skull cap is a little ruff try a fleece one. The Army had the old wool/polyester ones and then switc...

I can't tell. Did I start this argument? If I did I am sorry. Hey Addicted2Fishin, you didn't start anything. You know how little kids think that they are better at some XBOX game than their buddy is, and they tell each other they suck. That is how it is here, just giving their fishing buddy a hard...
