#6611, "Thank you!!!"

I'm sitting at home now, it's 11 o'clock PM, I'm dead tired, I've worked 25 hours in the last two days, I didn't get to watch a second of football today, but what a great weekend. The BWW show was great! We had a good time hosting it, but it was the guys who showed up, and the seminar speakers who made it the place to be. Running down the list I want to thank Bassnet, Castaic Dave, Nosehookrook, Fishtrax, Jeff, Carrot Top, XcellentFX, NoTrollMotor, Amish Ed, Jeff L, Brian, Muskyman, socalfrogger, Brian #2, Bassimus, Phil S, Matt Peters, SOCB Prez, and everyone else I might of missed, or didn't get a chance to talk to who came down. I was the totally frazzled guy behind the register who was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and who chain smoked during every break....LOL. Just wanted to the thank the Calfishing contingency for supporting us and our event. Hopefully I'll actually get to go fishing next week, got a bunch of cool new stuff to try out.

Thanks for a great show!! I was planning to go both days, but I couldn't resist playing with my new toys on Sunday.
The GLoomis works awesome!! I was using a Lamiglas Big Bait special, but it was way too wimpy. I was always waiting for it to snap when lobbing an Osprey. With the GLoomis, I'm loading up and winging the Rago which feels like it weighs the same or more than the Osprey.
Your first speaker on Saturday, John Murray, was great! I filled around four pages of notes. He gave a ton of info. Went out on Sunday and threw a spider jig at Skinner and got my first good hit on a jig somewhere where I would have never thought to try before the seminar.
I'll be in to pick up another Calcutta to repalce the one I switched from the Lamiglas, as soon as the wife settles down about Saturday. Oh well, I only went 150% or so over the spending limit she dictated:) NoTrollMotor

Hey NO Troll Motor, Did you use the jig like John Murray talked about? If so how was the hit? On the fall or just as it stopped? He did give out a lot of good tips that I am going to try the next time I go out. Hopefully soon :(

I was casting to the inside edge of a point that creates one of the coves on the south shore from the middle of the cove. I was ripping it up about 3 feet and letting it fall before another rip like John said.
At the start of the second rip after the cast I felt a pull. I was surprised and not quick on the set. When I pulled again it was gone. At first I thought I had snaged some veggies, but the jig was totally clean and the bottom felt really clean on succesive casts through the same area.
My guess is that it got hit when it hit the bottom after the first rip. NoTrollMotor

Hey CJ thank you, had a great 2 days there. I really enjoyed listening to Tim Horton, he was really easy to listen to and had some great stories. Be interesting to see what he thinks of the Delta and Clear Lake in the next week and a half. You guys had some great raffle prizes, I only wish I could have one something . Save some Oxblood Senko's for me when the next shipment comes in, I would ask Kevin, but well you know, just kidding Kevin.

Hey Chris,
I actually took the day off of work today (monday) and headed over to Castaic to try the new stuff. I hooked a good bass on the new Kanji swimbait but dumped it after a brief fight. If i could just keep the hooks from foul hooking the bait i'll be fine. Thanks for the great time and esp. thanks for hooking up the great BBQ!!!

Fishing was pretty good, for both bass and huge stripers. I forgot about the striper derby until i was at the 5/405 cruising @ 65 mph! The bass/stripers were chasing shad in good schools so we were just dart heading and spooning, we probably had 20 Largemouth up to 5 lbs. and 5 stripers up to maybe 15 (but we had some foaming by the boat at least 20ish), not bad for a 1/2 days fishing. The Kanji fish wasn't that big, but decent maybe 4 and some change. I threw it parallel to the bank that a bunch of fish were schooling on just a minute before and i guess this guy was hanging out waiting for another round. Oh, for all of the shad guys...The stuff is hanging out at the main ramp and it's easy pickin's, it's cool also to watch about 50 or more bass attack them right on the ramp, but dont waste your time fishing these fish they're way to smart to eat an artificial.

Even with only the two front hooks it fouls. Saturday night I was playing with it (the Kanji). It seemed to me that the hooks really interfere with each other under almost any scenario other than swallowing from behind and having the bait pulled straight out. I went with only the front hook. I didn't catch anything though. Sure looks great in the water. NoTrollMotor

Thanks to Chris, Jeff, and everyone at Bass World West for a great show- I didn't spend as much time there as I would have liked, but like others I had a new toy in my hand and some free time to fish.
