Stopped at Bass Pro Shops Orlando Yesterday...
2008-01-24 00:00:00 My work travels brought me to Orlando on Tuesday and I was fortunate to have a small window before it was time to go to the airport, so I found myself perusing the aisles at Bass Pro and gazing into their huge aquarium. Man there was a ton of 8lb plus largemouth bass in there!!!So here is what I bought:Luck E Strike Bass Magic Shads - there are on of the may BassTrix imitations out there, seems like a nice baitYum Big Show Paddle Tail Worms, design by Terry Scroggins, these are great looking worms!Yum Big Show Craws, also by Scroggins, they little critters look like flippin' machines!Well anyways, got a handful of bags of each of these. Should be a nice addition to my addiction. For those not fortunate enough to get to a Bass Pro Shops store, I think you can get all these on BassPro.com. On another note, to feed my addiction, I have been pairing down some of my stuff on ebay lately, so if you are stocking up... check out my Bass Fishing eBay Store... More About: Yesterday

Falcon does not dissapoint
2008-01-14 00:00:00 Yesterday, Falcon Lake near Zapata, TX debuted in its first semi big time tournament as the FLW Stren Series visited this border reservoir. Locals and pundits predicted that this one could break all the records, much like Amistad did when tournaments starting visiting there. Turns out, they were right.After catching 27 pounds, 13 ounces Saturday, Jeremy Guidry finished the event with 110 pounds, 2 ounces. That?s the heaviest four-day cumulative tournament weight in the history of both the Stren Series and FLW Outdoors as a whole. Guidry?s catch shattered the previous record of 105 pounds, 8 ounces set by David Mauldin of Tomball, Texas, during the 2006 Stren Series tournament on Lake Amistad. In fact, the top three finishers on Falcon all surpassed the previous record.On top of this, it took over 62lbs for 3 days, just to sniff the money in this event. Imagine catching 20lbs a day for 3 days in a row and head home without even a check.... Pretty crazy! ... More About: Sapo

Over all I had a pretty good year, it almost always can be a little better, but what would I have to shoot for next year if I won every tournament?? LOL!Looking back, I could not have had as good a year as I had if it were not for my sponsors. First off, I would like to thank my existing sponsors coming into 2007. It feels good to help and grow companies that are committed to you as you are to them.Tru-TungstenTru-Tungsten jigs and sinkers changed my fishing over the past two years.

Late Season Smallmouth Outing Folied
2007-12-23 00:00:00 Disclaimer: This is a rant/venting post. Feel free to keep browsing.Got up early to head out to the river for some open water smallmouth fishing this morning. Halfway there my plan was foiled by some guy without a drivers license or insurance who obviously had now clue how to drive. He was out of control and side swiped me and pushed me into the middle barricade on I-94. Some justice served as he was cuffed and stuffed and his car hauled away.So quickly visions of jumbo winter smallies were dashed and now having to get by with one car during the holidays and filing claims for repairs became the reality. Also even if we get some warm weather during my time off during the holidays, I likely will have no mode of transportation to go fishing I feel better now, Merry Christmas & Best Wished to all!

Dymamite Spawning Bass Article
2007-12-10 00:00:00 I found a really good article, of all places, in Field & Stream magazine. I never thought they would have a decent bass related article, but I was killing time in a waiting room for a doctor appointment. I was glad I put my pride aside and flipped through the pages. I actually thought about taking the magazine when I left, but common sense prevailed. Another cool thing, there is a copy online, you have to view 13 different pages to read it all, but I guess that is how the pay the bills with advertisement, but I think its worth it. Here is the link to the online article. The premise of the article, is one guy scuba dives around spawning females while another guy fishes above, really excellent info. I think there are a couple key tips, that can help most of us if we are targeting spawning fish in a tournament situation.

I am 28 years old, will be 29 at the end of November. I was born and raised in California and spent my youth on the California Delta and nearby local reservoirs. As kids, my brother and I learned to fish mostly from watching our angler heroes on BASS/ESPN TV tournament shows, including Denny Brauer, Rick Clunn and all the greats. I loved to watch Bill Dance, Hank Parker, Fish Fishburne and every TV show that had anything to do with fishing. At the early age of 8 years old, my grandpa gave me my first rod and reel, a Zebco 33 spincast combo. What's cool is my future father-in-law was an engineer for Zebco at that time and he designed that reel. So I think that's pretty cool that's how I got started wi...

Not Giving Up Yet - Part Two
2007-11-30 00:00:00 As I eluded to in one of my comments, Josh & I did very well in our little excursion to the Mississippi River. We started fishing sometime after 11am. As we worked our way to the spot, the bet was set. We decided to bet big fish, and the reward would be dinner. We also would keep track of numbers for bragging rights, it is just in our competitive nature It started fast & furious, I managed to land 6 smallmouth bass in my first 7 casts. When we first started, I was using a Green Pumpkin Mizmo tube on a BiteMe Tube Jig head. I think early on, I was up 10 fish to Josh's 4 and thats when I lost a decent fish right at the bank and soon after that I broke of my tube jig. So I played around with my mojo rig, and caught several bass on a Baby Ring Fry-Green Pumpkin. Although during that time period, Josh got up like 17 to 12. That is when I told him, "numbers are all fine & good, but today its the big fish that pays the bills... More About: Giving , Part

2007-11-23 00:00:00 So here is the back drop. My buddy Billy Harris and I both qualified for the Bassmaster Weekend Series National Championships on Clarks Hill through our respective divisions. If you have read both of our blogs and forums, we both contribute a bit of trash talking and good natured ribbing to each other. After all, that is what good fishing buddies are for My travel plans to Clarks Hill involved flying to Nashville where Billy lives, we were then going to drive to Hartwell for some fun/pre-practice fishing out of his boat on Saturday. Then of course we would practice on our own on Clarks Hill before the tournament on Sunday - Tuesday. Billy being the competitive spirit he is, he set the bet in which we would take out best 5 fish by weight for Saturday on Hartwell.

I quickly catch a 2lb fish on a my Sebile Flatt Shad, not too much longer my partner gets a nicer fish on a spinnerbait, just under 3lbs.

Nothing happening, I then tried a BuzzR Bait, DT6 and an Inchi Wacky Rig, not a bite. I think we each caught one channel pickerel each. We then tried some areas in Little Creek, I saw several nice fish cruising in there, but could not elicit a strike from any of them. I finally broke out my flippin' stick and started dropping a black neon speed craw on a 3/4oz Tru-Tungsten Flippin' weight rigged on a 3/0 BMF Hook. I switched my flipping rig from braid to 20# Fluorocarbon during the tournament hoping to get some more bites. I quickly got a 12" keeper on that. On the way out, my partner caught a small ...
