Pradco Has Bought The Money Minnow

     I remember it wasn’t more than a year ago when I was searching for an alternative for the expensive and hard to come by Basstrix when an insider at a largely know on-line tackle store told me about a new bait that was not yet available to the public. It was the Money Minnow […]

Classic Shedule For Next 3 Years

     After seeing some of the fishing that has been offered up in both Texas and California as of lately, I find it hard to understand why you wouldn’t hold a Bassmaster Classic event in one of these 2 states at least once in the next 3 years, but eitherway the next three destinations have […]

What’s Your Go-To Bait?

     I know this is a very common question that you often here discussed among every fishing circle across the world but that’s ok. We have not had this discussion so let’s call this, “Joining The Crowd”. Besides, “Joining The Crowd”, I also want to use this to try and generate some reader involvement among the […]

On The Cover, Jay Yelas

    This month’s issue of FLW Outdoors magazine is sporting a picture of the FLW Tour’s 2007 Angler of the Year, Jay Yelas and man does he look cool holding that trophy. With his head tilted in a nod fashion and spearing his eyes right back at you as he slightly lowers his shades, he appears to be saying, […]

ESPN2 Coverage Schedule for ‘08 Classic

     With only a few days left until the start of the 2008 Bassmaster Classic on South Carolina’s Lake Hartwell, I am starting to get a little restless.

Stratos Boats Set To Release “New Program” At Bassmaster Classic

     For many Stratos Boat owners such as myself, we took a loss when Stratos yanked the Stratos Platinum Program out from under us. The Platinum Program offered Stratos Boat owners a chance at winning money back through contingency prizes with specific sanctioned events. The biggest being participation with the FLW.
