For those interested in "crossing over" and putting your freshwater skills to work in the Saltwater this is a great event. The best and most rounded teams are freshwater based tournament anglers, therefore you should have some sort of interest. Free food and a great time! http://www.saltwa...

re-lived this one in my mind and miss it big-time. I might be fishing a travelers circuit next season and head for Mead at the end.......I do like Mead!

Gerryjig

Sorry. Maybe my rant went off on a tangent. What I mean is that because California's water is so restricted, you have less people fishing and turning to the sport of fishing. Less people fishing means less talented anglers in general. Where as in Minnesota for example, everyone fishes because of ea...

Farnsworths B-Day too! He's pumped to fish this one!

Gerryjig

fished yesterday and had quite a good day......25 fish betwen 2-4lbs. I will make this event for sure! The second half may be a little tougher, but still plenty of fish and areas to catch fish!

Gerryjig

they wanted 500 for a single one.. i asked them for a discounted rate because we would be using them multiple times and they agreed.. plus the guy that owns it is an avid fisherman. Im sure if all the Orgs went through him as well the price would be cut down even more. Just a thought. Im no lawyer ...

This is a very sad day for me personally as I was Mike's partner for many years and still one of his best friends. Who knows what makes people do stupid things but maybe it is the times we are in right now. Times are tough for many people, but that is no excuse for his actions. I know how good of a...

Spent Fathers day fishing Castaic with my 2 guys! .....30ish fish and great weather! Happy pops day to all that are!

Heading To Catalina June 25th- July 2nd camping on the backside at Little Harbor with them next week! gotta love summer!

yes sir! WTG! good read too!

way to get them bro!!!! no surprise though, your only getting going!

are you freakin kidding me ??? what organization was it ????? cant wait to find out who it was .... as a matter of fact what ever happened to the guys that got caught pulling a cage a castaic a few years back ?????????? they did it right and clipped all the fins in the cage , let it go back down .....

In Ca. it's the MLPA initiative. They started in central ca and took lot's away while we the anglers tried to gather. In So. Ca. we've gotten together to battle head-on....and have with the continual efforts provided by many fishermen / spearfishers that have been using our local coastal areas since...

Thanks yall ! Dan S this will be the last boat I buy for the next 10-12 years so holding out for a Champion you just cant beat the ride and handling of a Champ. I have owned 2 Stratos and a Champ in the past and the Champ will run circles around a Stratos :D Thanks I've got a 1997 181 with an Intru...

I use a G Loomis IMX 783 with 8-10lb. flouro. I throw a 3/8 to 1/2 oz. Arkie head jig that I can slide over the bottom on a tight line while using my reel and not my rod to slide it....the only time I use the rod on the retrieve is to pop it over a potential hang-up. I'm with the others on the bite ...

I don't even mess around.....Grunden heavy duty bibs and a Grundens foul weather jacket with deck boots or Sorels.....never get wet at all....ever!

Gerryjig

good idea but with so few wardens down here in so cali it is kinda pointless if u cant enforce it. I agree. DFG doesn't want anymore rules whatsoever. Being through the So. Ca. MLPA process, you can see the DFG is undermanned and the last thing they want is anything within a grey area. Simple rules...

it could be called Gerryjigs house! Man I learned how to bass fish in this club and appreciate all of the friendships I made through it. If your in the Orange County area check em out...just watch out for that Ole Dirty Beer Batter Bob, that disco guy with the leather pants, and GerryJig with is Ta...

No, sadly Kalin's doesn't make the Mogambo anymore. When they started getting scarce I bought up every bag I could find, and they're quite unpopular with most anglers so everytime I find unwanted ones laying around I confiscate them pronto! I heard about someone out west hand pouring a similar garg...

Brian Day if he's not too busy with that stuff already.........

Gerryjig

not a trick, just the way I use a jig. This has been working for me recently and forever even during a non-existing bite at Lake Castaic as they are filling it up right now. Long cast away from the boat. Let it sit for a COUPLE of minutes letting the area "relax" after the jig has settled ...

Rick, Thats true to a point, but I saw just as many Genmar dealers shut the doors over all this. 2 of the biggest Ranger dealers in FL shut their doors last year and 1 is about too. It has hit everyone just as equally, that is unless your floorplan is covered.. And Nitros will soon see light, the r...

you can send it directly to the Daiwa repair office (save time and gas). Most of the time it's cheaper to do it this way too, small shops / businesses charge a bit more and are not as dialed in on one brand like the original manufacturer would be. If you do send it to Daiwa, ask that Sergio work on ...

Gerryjig

If you really like flouro on spinners, use a good braid with a flouro leader. Daiwa Samurai is the best braid you can buy, super smooth 8 strand uncoated, it casts a mile. This works great for worms and jigs but I still like straight flouro for reaction baits....Toray is awesome but Maxima is really...

Good parenting is whats going to help kids stay off drugs. I don't think the way to protect kids from drugs/sex is to shelter them from it. How about education? WHAT?! "Here son, tie on a Purple Kush, it'll be fun!" Great education. Perfect Champ Jon right on the $, richdoe.....you should...

this guy is my ultimate favorite for seminars, "give'em the bad news" and all, I am always interested in fishing something I don't always fish, the frog and the Delta, and this is one of those killer combos, and this guy RULES! always pumped up and dialed in for sure! p.s. I hope he does r...

Red Bull, Monster, red line, and Lift Off. Whatever I have handy. Yes Gerry the Salt is the best but I still drink them out there as well. By the way the Calico bite is off the hook right now on te rock piles. Took The boat out after work in Dana and ran north above Aliso and got into them pretty g...

dang, isn't persuing bass alone enough to keep you on your feet? You all are wussies. Try fishing the salt offshore in an 18ft c/c 5 or 6 days in a row catching YFT, YT and Dorado.............freshwater bassin ain't nothin

will it have the same effect on an older straight 2-stroke?

too bad you had a bad experience with Samurai. I too have casted off spinnerbaits and other heavier baits but on the lighter Samurai stuff (30lb. or lower). Since then I've used the 55lb. and up to 80lb. I have not had any issues whatsoever and my 55 / 70 or 80lb. and it is thinner / softer/ smoothe...

best spinnerbait out there but I've also had a few of them break in the same spot. Made a suggestion to Ray at the BAT and he said the "new" wire material would prevent breakage...............I just broke another one the other day in Newport Harbor. This is the only problem I've had, they ...

if SOCB could get some of it's "old" members together, we could probably give you guys a run for your $.....even with less teams. After quite a few years, I am no longer with SOCB. A silly attendance rule change was made and doesn't seem to fit my busy schedule. Hopefully SOCB will show so...

saw it during the BAT at Anglers Marine in November in the back of that months current issue......now my opinion.....why fish ABA when the SWBA has the major following of dedicated, serious saltwater tourney guys and the coolest vibe on earth. I don't think a single person from the SWBA will fish it...

Daiwa has the Steez rod for some serious $.....the Zillion is right there for 1/2 the $. Every time I do shows for Daiwa, the Steez gets the most attention but $ for quality the Zillion beats it hands down. I swap up the two rods with a Steez reel on them and it's very very difficult to tell the dif...

I use a couple of silicon packages (the kind you find in electronic packaging etc. etc.) some are small 1.5in. X 1.5in or even larger to about 2X4 inches. They are natural moisture absorbers and will need to be changed out after about a year. I have them for both fresh and salt. I swear by them, giv...

just kinda curious, I hear the Troutbait bite is really good with bikers seing trout chasers in the back of lot's of coves with guys from rentals getting those same fish.

I hear some private boats are being allowed to fish DV. Launching off a dirt ramp or something?.....sounds like the "Good Old Boy" network is still alive and well. Kinda not cool to those that aren't in the loop, but use that lake as their primary.

P.M. a few months back with your Pops and a buddy?....I think you were heading to a SD lake that morning while I was heading to the salt....anyway, I won't say how MV is......hippie will get all weird and stuff!....(it's been good catching fish off the graph)...

Consistant Trout stocking of consistant sized Trout (7-12in.) over a long period of time will create a trophy bass fishery. Any change in the stocking program will change the overall population of trout eating bass. At Lake Mission Viejo they've resorted to stocking 2-6lb. trout in order to avoid co...
