Long before the recent west coast popularity of face masks I’ve been using and researching sun protection gear. Even with sunscreen I still burn quickly. I’ve watched my father, who like me worked outdoors and was a passionate fisherman, deal with skin cancer. As Bassin mentioned, I picked up on wha...

A friend just pointed this post out to me and suggested I post this. For anyone who wants to learn more about the Havasu's Habitat Program here is a comprehensive report http://thebbz.com/2013/2/11/lake-havasu ... artnership

(picked up on this a little late, this might still help) Those are excellent questions. The thing that stands out for me when you mentioned fishing from the bank versus fishing from the boat is number one, you’re moving your presentation into the strike zone/funnel when you’re on the bank. When you’...

Here is an article I wrote in 2011. Co-Angler checklists. http://thebbz.com/articles/2013/2/11/co-angler-checklists There is a lot of information here, too much to cover in a thread. The piece is geared towards Pro/Ams and FLW events but the essence of the back deck applies to fun fishing, the highe...

Many assumptions here that are way off base. I can state as fact that Bill asked me to fish this particular event with him. Just my luck I couldn't make it. If you KNOW something then say it. Otherwise you're just guessing. Guessing in multiple directions and guessing very poorly. Wow this piece is ...

Great information Troy. As the years pass everyday I am reminded that my body's 'warranty' has expired and it is solely up to me to do the maintenance. Everything thing is connected and if you're not in physical shape mental breakdowns are soon to follow. This is extremely important in the sport of ...

Amateur is a French word meaning 'lover of'. Just as that implies it means that you do something for the love of the endeavor as opposed to doing something as a professional for pay. At the same time I haven't seen any derby's that lists non pro anglers as amateur's. They are Non-Boaters, Co-anglers...

WON Bass in my history has never allowed a solo angler to fish a TOC regardless of how they finished during the regular season. During each event they have allowed a solo angler to pay full entry, taken the money each and every time and then not grant equal privileges, hmm. Yes it is a team event bu...

Good luck to Jeff Grant highest finishing western co-angler at the Stren Championship Pickwick AL. Good luck to all the anglers representing the West, fish well

Peregrine products are the best. There are a lot of products and methods on the market, try them all. Test them out for yourself and you will have your answer and you too will know what most here are saying, Peregrine is superior. Exceptional products and a great price. If you see me at the lake com...

This is a good thing. When on party boats I have been laughed at and mocked when I release my sand bass. They say hey there are guys on board that will eat that fish. I just tell them , then let that guy catch it and then it is his. The jackpot is chump change. Unlike the boat and the $100.00 prize ...

Scott, guys thanks for the encouragement. Iâ€™m still here in AZ and just saw your post. 2009 FLW Stren Series Western Division event number two Lake Roosevelt Arizona, Co-Angler.

I would like to give a big shout out to the Trolling Motor Doctor in Lakewood CA 800 944 9446. Took my T motor in on Monday and they had it ready on Wednesday. I asked for a quick turnaround because I was scheduled to travel to Oroville today. Cool part was all the repairs were covered under warrant...

Congratulations to Hart and Zank and also to everyone who showed up to brave the wind, I felt it wasnâ€™t as bad as the forecast. I launched myself and I tied up to the only spot available on the dock. After parking and returning to the dock the bow of the lifeguard boat was directly over my big mot...

As one fishin man to another donâ€™t be so quick to jump ship. I have my shad busting topwater bait and there are days when I canâ€™t miss. And then there are days when the fish are kind of doing the same but they just donâ€™t want what I am doing what so ever. Sometimes I have doubts and think that...

Congratulations, Troy & Bill awesome job. When you get home you will probably wish you were still at Clear Lake.

Just curious, the water is dropping at Castaic but Pyramid is full pool. Why is that?

My cull m rite was dead bang on with the weigh master for day one, as it usually is. Day two my cull m rite was 1lb over the weigh master. I agree with my cull m rite. It is always right there within a few ounces. This made me think about it as well. I was not fast enough mentally to ask for a re-we...

As a co-angler In shared weight format I would much rather carry my weight (no pun intended)and perform well than just have the draw gods smile on me. As a â€˜coâ€™ in a shared weight format I am not as concerned about the results (standings) as much as I am concerned with how well I performed and h...

[quote="ScottyJ"]So I noticed the paint on one of my favorite jig heads has chipped off and was wondering of it really even matters. What do you all think?

It only matters if it matters to you. I think you should fish the chipped ones for awhile and see what the fish have to say.

Derrek Stewart

Good question and one of the hardest things to deal with when fishing or otherwise. No matter how good you are at dealing with it tends to linger. It is the stubbed toe effect. You wake up get out bed and stub your toe. You react negatively and it puts you in the wrong frame of mind. Next thing you ...

Dan McKenzie wrote:yeah, but is bass fishing a "sport or "activity" ?

If you look at the people who are really good it is a sport. If you look at the average stick it is an activity. You can jog a mile or you can run a 4 minute mile, you decide, a sport or an activity.

I agree with Mark. Peregrine 250 is the best that I have used. It is a cleaner/waxer. I have tried many. Roger Larocque makes it, he also has a product called 'Water Dog' which does a good job on hard water spots that won't come off your engine. His pricing is outstanding as well. peregrine250@eartl...

4 days for sure, its a big commitment any way go, why not go big. More time on the water, more exposure to the best. Get as much out of it as you can. I am voting for 5 days!

Derrek Stewart

Being a bass angler also I can not stand soaking bait either. First off go to Ernie's Tackle in June, you can't miss it. Tell them what you have and the way you want to fish and they will tell where and what to tie on. That is dead bang on, you will recieve the most current and accurate info availab...

I was thinking about the truck, not a 44 gallon boat fuel tank. Either way I have not seen a better offer. Thanks for the bump. Most Co's hitch a ride pre-fishing and split the fuel costs for fishing time they partake in. I am saying here is gas money and you don't have to look at me.
