MURFREESBORO’S SIMERI WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE MUSIC CITY DIVISION FINALE ON OLD HICKORY LAKE

Monroe’s Puckett Takes Co-angler Title

[print_link]

GALLATIN, Tenn. (Sept. 18, 2017) – Rocco Simeri of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, won the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Music City Division event on Old Hickory Lake Sunday with a two-day cumulative catch of eight bass weighing 22 pounds, 8 ounces. For his win, Simeri took home $6,731.

“I probably hit 10 to 15 areas each day of the tournament,” said Simeri, who earned first career-victory in FLW competition. “It was kind of a one-two punch of upper end- and mid-lake-fish, but I stayed mid-lake Sunday. I only had eight keepers all weekend, but still felt lucky. A lot of the anglers only brought in a couple each day.

“I primarily fished secondary creek points,” continued Simeri. “They were basically prespawn or postspawn staging areas. The fish and shad were pulled out due to receding water. My boat sat in 12 feet of water and I casted into spots that were 5 to 7 feet down.”

Simeri said his primary lure was a 5/6-ounce Texas Craw-colored Jewel Bait Finesse Jig with a Watermelon Red-colored Zoom Z Craw Jr. trailer.

“I fished it slow with some short hops,” said Simeri. “I made long casts to the bank and then brought it halfway back to the boat.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Rocco Simeri, Murfreesboro, Tenn., eight bass, 22-8, $4,731 + $2,000 Ranger Cup Bonus

2nd:         Hunter Bouldin, McMinnville, Tenn., 10 bass, 19-1, $2,365

3rd:          Brandon Edel, Hendersonville, Tenn., 10 bass, 17-11, $1,511

4th:          Adam Wagner, Cookeville, Tenn., 10 bass, 17-2, $1,057

5th:          Clark Cowley, Lebanon, Tenn., nine bass, 16-9, $906

6th:          John Graves, Mount Juliet, Tenn., seven bass, 14-11, $831

7th:          Tony Eckler, Lebanon, Tenn., seven bass, 13-15, $1,272

8th:          Josh Tramel, Smithville, Tenn., eight bass, 13-7, $680

9th:          Jack Poindexter, Livingston, Tenn., seven bass, 12-4, $604

10th:        Mickey Beck, Lebanon, Tenn., six bass, 11-1, $529

Eckler caught a bass weighing 6 pounds, 13 ounces – the heaviest of the event in the Boater Division. The catch earned him the Boater Big Bass award of $517.

Travis Puckett of Monroe, Tennessee, caught a two-day total of six bass weighing 10 pounds, 4 ounces, to win the Co-angler Division and $2,266.

The top 10 co-anglers were:

10th:        Edward Lovely, Manchester, Tenn., two bass, 3-10, $264

Joey Myers of Gallatin, Tennessee, caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division – a fish weighing 3 pounds, 10 ounces – and earned the Co-angler Big Bass award of $259.

The T-H Marine FLW BFL Music City Division tournament on Old Hickory Lake was hosted by the Sumner County Convention & Visitors Bureau.

MONSOOR WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE GREAT LAKES DIVISION FINALE ON MISSISSIPPI RIVER

MONSOOR WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE GREAT LAKES DIVISION FINALE ON MISSISSIPPI RIVER

Minnesota’s Conrad Claims Co-angler Title

[print_link]

LA CROSSE, Wis. (Sept. 18, 2017) – Yamamoto Baits pro Tom Monsoor of La Crosse, won the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Great Lakes Division tournament on the Mississippi River Sunday with a two-day cumulative catch of 10 bass weighing 36 pounds, 10 ounces. For his efforts, Monsoor took home $8,175.

“I fished weeds that were 5 feet down and near the current, but not in it. I think the fish like having the food brought right by them,” said Monsoor, who earned his sixth career BFL win on the Mississippi River. “I had 15 areas, but only worked through six of them each day. I also had some deeper spots in the 20-foot range that produced good fish for me.”

Monsoor said he threw his signature Humdinger Swim Jig Saturday, paired with a white 3½-inch Yamamoto Swim Senko trailer. Sunday he switched to a black and blue swim jig and swapped out the Swim Senko for a 3¾-inch Yamamoto Flappin’ Hog.

“The wind really picked up and muddied the water Sunday, so I went with darker colors,” said Monsoor. “The bite slowed down, too. There weren’t any big flurries. On Saturday, the water was clearer and you could catch 20 fish in a spot, but Sunday you’d only have one or two every so often.”

Monsoor said he trimmed off all but the tail from the Flappin’ Hog. He said it was the same setup he used to win the four-day FLW Tour event on the Potomac River in June.

“When you only throw one lure, that’s when you’re doing the best,” said Monsoor. “Give me a swimming jig around weeds and I’m in Heaven.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Yamamoto Baits pro Tom Monsoor, La Crosse, Wis., 10 bass, 36-10, $6,175 + $2,000 Ranger Cup Bonus

2nd:         Dan Mohn, Lansing, Iowa, 10 bass, 34-12, $3,088

3rd:          Cade Laufenberg, Winona, Minn., 10 bass, 33-11, $3,107

4th:          Jeff Benson, Holmen, Wis., 10 bass, 31-13, $1,441

5th:          Luke Ledvina, Tomah, Wis., 10 bass, 31-12, $1,235

6th:          Glenn Walker, Savage, Minn., 10 bass, 31-2, $1,132

7th:          Terry Fitzpatrick, Waukon, Iowa, 10 bass, 31-1, $1,029

8th:          Mark Myers, Cedar Falls, Iowa, 10 bass, 30-14, $1,026

9th:          Robby Tufte, Fountain City, Wis., 10 bass, 30-9, $823

10th:        Nick O’Keefe, La Crosse, Wis., 10 bass, 30-5, $720

Complete results can be found at FLWFishing.com.

Laufenberg caught a bass weighing 4 pounds, 12 ounces – the heaviest of the event in the Boater Division. The catch earned him the Boater Big Bass award of $847.

Richard Conrad of Burnsville, Minnesota, caught a two-day total of 10 bass weighing 27 pounds, 11 ounces, to win the Co-angler Division and $3,088.

The top 10 co-anglers were:

1st:          Richard Conrad, Burnsville, Minn., 10 bass, 27-11, $3,088

2nd:         Ronald Syverson, Holmen, Wis., 10 bass, 26-15, $1,544

3rd:          Tony Seiler, River Falls, Wis., 10 bass, 25-14, $1,030

4th:          Greg Oppegard, West Saint Paul, Minn., 10 bass, 25-3, $820

5th:          Kevin Andera, Calmar, Iowa, nine bass, 25-1, $618

6th:          Jake Schultz, Rochester, Minn., 10 bass, 24-10, $616

7th:          Brad Juen, La Crosse, Wis., 10 bass, 24-10, $515

8th:          Mike Kochanski, Bolingbrook, Ill., 10 bass, 24-4, $463

9th:          Josh Mohn, Lansing, Iowa, 10 bass, 24-4, $412

10th:        Tong Lor, La Crosse, Wis., 10 bass, 24-3, $360

Steve Esser of Dubuque, Iowa, caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division – a fish weighing 4 pounds, 11 ounces – and earned the Co-angler Big Bass award of $424.

The T-H Marine FLW BFL Great Lakes Division tournament on the Mississippi River was hosted by the La Crosse County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The top 45 boaters and co-anglers in the region based on point standings, along with the five winners in each qualifying event, will be entered in the Oct. 12-14 BFL Regional Championship on the Barren River in Scottsville, Kentucky. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude outboard and $20,000, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude outboard.

Palaniuk Caps Magical Season With Toyota Bassmaster Angler Of The Year Title

Palaniuk Caps Magical Season With Toyota Bassmaster Angler Of The Year Title

[print_link]

ONAMIA, Minn. — As the 2017 Bassmaster Elite Series season progressed, Brandon Palaniuk always had a sense that he was in contention for the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year crown.

But he never let himself look at the standings. He never even allowed himself to think about the race.

Now, he may never stop thinking about it.

The 29-year-old pro from Hayden, Idaho, caught 62 pounds, 3 ounces of bass to finish in 20th place at this week’s Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship on Mille Lacs Lake, Minnesota. That allowed him to finish 14 points ahead of Oklahoma pro Jason Christie and secure his first career AOY title.

“I didn’t know if it would ever happen,” said Palaniuk, who topped Christie by a final margin of 902 to 888 in the AOY standings. “This has been a dream of mine since I was 8 years old. I decided 21 years ago that this is what I was going to do.

“I just made up my mind that I wanted to fish for a living — and every decision I’ve made for 21 years has led to this point.”

Hoisting the AOY trophy was the culmination of a phenomenal season that saw Palaniuk record six Top 12 finishes, including a victory on Sam Rayburn Reservoir. The only time he finished outside the Top 30 in 10 Elite Series events was a disastrous 105th-place showing in the second event of the year on Florida’s Lake Okeechobee.

Palaniuk said he feared that finish might haunt him for the rest of the career — until he worked some late magic during Friday’s second round.

With only six minutes left before check-in, Palaniuk landed a 6-pound Mille Lacs smallmouth that proved to be his biggest fish of the event. He put the bass in his livewell and made it back to the weigh-in with only 40 seconds to spare.

“That’s when I really got the feeling that this was meant to be, and I think that’s why I was so calm today,” Palaniuk said. “When that happened, it gave me a completely different mental outlook on the whole week.

“It was like some light switch went off in my head. I think that’s why I went to bed and woke up this morning feeling like it was going to happen.”

Palaniuk spent the majority of the tournament using a drop-shot rig with a Zoom Super Fluke in the purple smoke color pattern with a 2/0 straight-shank hook and a 3/8-ounce drop-shot weight. He threw the rig on a 6-foot-10 Alpha Angler DSR rod and a Daiwa Exist 2500 reel spooled with 15-pound Seaguar Smackdown braid and an 8-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon leader.

But afterward, tackle and techniques seemed far secondary to his career accomplishment. The $100,000 he claimed with the AOY title pushed his career earnings past $1 million with B.A.S.S.

“When I first started fishing, I was running heavy equipment, cutting trees down and fishing local tournaments,” he said. “I would stash away as much money as I could during the summer from fishing local club tournaments. Then I just had one incredible year in 2010 when I qualified for the Elites when it seemed like everywhere I went in the country I caught fish.

“That’s when it all started happening for me — and that’s what helped me get here today.”

While most of the attention this week was heaped on the battle between Palaniuk, Christie and eventual third-place finisher Jacob Wheeler, the Bassmaster Rookie of the Year race was also decided.

Alabama pro Dustin Connell claimed that title by finishing 24th this week with 60-13. Connell’s closest competition — New York pro Jamie Hartman — had a tough week, finishing in 48th place with 41-7. That allowed Connell to win the ROY race by the thinnest of margins, 765-764.

“I set three goals this year,” Connell said. “I wanted to make the Classic, make the AOY Championship and win Rookie of the Year. Then, I also won a tournament (at Ross Barnett in Mississippi), so this has just been an awesome year.”

Unlike the first three years of the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship, a trophy and prize money was awarded this year to the angler with the heaviest weight for the week. The title of Toyota Mille Lacs Champion and the $25,000 bonus that came with it went to veteran Texas pro Keith Combs, who bested the field with 72-5.

“I’m a Texas guy, and that means I’m a long way from home up here this week,” Combs said. “So, to get to come up here and jack these big smallmouth with a big bait and a big stick was just an awesome experience for me.” The “big bait” was a 1-ounce Strike King jig in green pumpkin with a Rage Craw trailer in the Alabama craw color, which exactly matched the color of crawfish bass had been spitting up in his livewell.

Combs won the Livingston Lures Day 2 Leader Award of $500 for leading the tournament on Friday’s second day of competition. He also won the Toyota Bonus Bucks Award of $3,000 for being the highest-placing eligible entrant in the program.

Each qualifier went home with at least $11,000. Payouts from the $1 million purse were based on the anglers’ final standings in the AOY points race.

The second-highest-placing eligible entrant, James Elam of Tulsa, Okla., received $2,000.

Aaron Martens of Leeds, Ala., claimed the $1,500 Phoenix Boats Big Bass Award for a 6-pound, 1-ounce smallmouth he caught during Thursday’s opening round.

Grand Casino Mille Lacs hosted the championship.

How To Use A Stick Bait To Imitate Suspended Shad – Mystery Tackle Box – September 15,2017

[print_link]

The stick bait (or Senko) is one of the most effective lures in any angler’s tackle box. Despite not being the “sexiest” of lures and having minimal flash, they get bit. There are limitless ways to rig the stick bait: the wacky rig, Neko rig, Ned rig, or even just weightless, just to name a few. But this trick for fishing a stick bait on a dropshot rig is perfect when you need to imitate shad or suspended baitfish.

Using A Stick Bait To Imitate Shad

The gist of this technique is to get your bait to pendulum swing, right through the column of suspended baitfish. It’s easier than it sounds. First, rig a stickbait on a dropshot rig. From there, all you have to do is cast out (give it a little extra umph), and close the bail as soon as your bait hits the water.

The timing on you locking the bail will cause the slack in your line to tighten, and the stick bait to swing backwards towards you, above the dropshot weight, like a pendulum. Mix in a few shakes to the tip of the rod and reel slowly, it will swing through the column back to you. Float it right through a big batch of suspended baitfish, and you’re sure to get bit if bass are actively feeding nearby.

What Stick Baits To Use To Imitate Shad

The BioSpawn ExoStick, in the brand new “Feider Shad” color, is your best bet. The color was hand picked by Pro Angler Seth Feider, one of the best smallmouth fishermen in the world. Seth recommends the 5 inch bait, but also says he likes to trim down to 4 inches when targeting smalljaws.

When you pair this technique with this bait, you are primed for one heck of a day on the water. Check your electronics for a school of suspended shad, rig the BioSpawn ExoStick in Feider Shad on a drop shot, and get to casting!

Last-Minute Big Fish Helps Palaniuk Hold On To Lead In AOY Race At Mille Lacs

[print_link]

ONAMIA, Minn. — After two days of the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship, Brandon Palaniuk is still clinging to his lead in the race for the AOY season title.

But it’s been anything but easy.

The noted smallmouth specialist from Hayden, Idaho, caught just 10 smallies from Mille Lacs Lake Friday — and if hadn’t been for a 6-pounder that bit extremely late, he might have actually fallen out of the AOY lead.

“I just struggled to get bit,” Palaniuk said. “I was just catching one here, one there — and I wasn’t really catching any big ones. But then at 3:14 (p.m.), I made one final drop and caught a 6-pounder.”

That fish helped Palaniuk weigh in 21 pounds 1 ounce, which was good for 20th place in the daily standings and enough to keep him in the AOY lead. With 902 total points, Palaniuk leads Jason Christie (890) and Jacob Wheeler (885) by margins that can still be made up if things go wild in the final round.

Palaniuk’s big fish came so late Friday that he barely made it back to the check-in on time.

“I caught the fish at 3:14, check-in was 3:20 and I was 3 miles away,” Palaniuk said. “On top of that, I still had to cull.

“I ended up making it back with 40 seconds to spare. But that fish was a 3-pound cull. Without it, who knows where I would be?”

Since Palaniuk came into this event with a 15-point lead in the AOY standings, the ideal situation would have been for him to pile up the weight while his closest competitors — Christie and Wheeler — struggled.

That hasn’t happened.

After catching 20-8 Thursday, Christie caught 22-9 Friday and jumped from 26th place to 17th. That helped him move to within 12 points of Palaniuk in the standings, meaning another fantastic day — coupled with a tough day for Palaniuk — could land Christie his first career AOY title.

Christie said Thursday that he hoped for a weather change that might mess up other people’s patterns — presumably Palaniuk’s and Wheeler’s — and he regretted it today. “I got what I wanted,” he said, “but it just made those fish bite for them.

“Today, at 8 o’clock, I was kind of wishing I hadn’t said that.”

The higher winds and larger waves made it hard for Christie to keep his trolling motor in the water and to see the fish on the Garmin Panoptix unit he relies on. He said most of his bass came out of one school he felt fortunate to find.

“Luckily, I came across one group and I caught 22 pounds in probably 10 to 15 minutes,” he said. “The rest of the day, I caught one here and one there, but I never caught a big one.”

While Palaniuk and Christie had it tough, Wheeler said “fun would be an understatement” to describe the day he had on Mille Lacs. The first-year pro from Tennessee caught 24-5 and moved into fourth place in the daily standings.

He still trails Christie by five points and Palaniuk by 17 in the AOY race.

“It was flat-out awesome,” Wheeler said. “It was probably one of the best days of smallmouth fishing I’ve ever had. I probably caught 30-plus smallmouth — and there were a lot of times when I would be disappointed to realize it was ‘just another 4-pounder’ when I set the hook.”

New York angler Jamie Hartman, whose stated goal was to win the Bassmaster Rookie of the Year award when the season began, took the lead in that race by weighing in 23-10 Friday and jumping from 48th to 36th place in the daily standings. That gives him a 776 to 770 lead over Alabamian Dustin Connell in the ROY race.

Texas angler Keith Combs is threatening to run away with the daily standings after landing 24-15 for the second straight day. His two-day mark of 49-14 is more than 2 pounds better than that of second-place angler James Elam (47-4).

Combs stands to win $25,000 if he retains the lead through the end of competition, but the rest of the $1 million purse will go to him and the rest of the field based on their final standings in AOY points.

The full field will fish again Sunday to determine the AOY Championship and the event winner. Takeoff will be at 6:50 a.m. CT from Eddy’s Resort, and the final weigh-in will be held at 3:45 p.m. at Grand Casino Mille Lacs.

The field will take a break Saturday for Bassmaster University. Anglers will be conducting seminars and greeting fans near the weigh-in stand at Grand Casino Mille Lacs in conjunction with the Bassmaster Elite Series Outdoors Expo. Companies such as Toyota, Huk, Power-Pole and Berkley will be onsite featuring their latest products. Fans will be able to enjoy free boat and motor demo rides from Skeeter, Yamaha, Nitro, Triton and Mercury. There will also be arts and crafts and food vendors and activities for kids.

All venues are free and open to the public. The expo will begin at 11 a.m. CT. For more information and a full list of activities, visit Bassmaster.com/news/attend-toyota-bassmaster-angler-year-championship.

The championship is hosted by Grand Casino Mille Lacs.

Palaniuk Remains On Top Of Season Points Race After First Round Of AOY Championship

[print_link]
 
ONAMIA, Minn. — It’s rare for an angler to finish 19th in the first round of a major tournament and end up totally setting the buzz for the event.
 
It’s rarer still for that angler to seem totally satisfied with his performance.
 
But after catching 21 pounds, 4 ounces of smallmouth bass and placing 19th Thursday, Brandon Palaniuk seemed to sense he was closing in on the goal he set before this week’s Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship — and that was to win his first career AOY title.
 
His 19th-place finish on Mille Lacs Lake — combined with a 26th-place finish by his closest AOY competitor Jason Christie (20-8) and a ninth-place showing by Tennessee pro Jacob Wheeler (22-10) — kept Palaniuk in the AOY lead by a margin of 22 points.
 
The three-time B.A.S.S. winner from Hayden, Idaho, is now just two more solid days away from the biggest accomplishment of his pro-fishing career.
 
“I was hoping to catch 23 pounds a day,” Palaniuk said. “I figured that would be enough to give me a chance to win the actual event this week — and if I win, the AOY will take care of itself. So now, I just have to go out and catch 25 (Friday) to even it out.”
 
Palaniuk started near the launch site at Eddy’s Resort, but he rarely stayed in one spot long as he culled his way up to 21-4.
 
“I ran a lot,” he said. “I just hopped from place to place to place. I’m trying to fish the highest-percentage areas I can, and I haven’t found any one place where I felt confident there was a big school where I could go in and catch them like I did the last time we were here.”
 
Though there was some talk during practice that the fishing at Mille Lacs had slowed down a little since it burst onto the national scene during last year’s AOY Championship, the lake showed out again Thursday. It was ranked No. 1 in the nation on Bassmaster Magazine’s 100 Best Bass Lakes list this year.
 
The Top 29 anglers — more than half of the 50-man field — caught at least 20-4, and only four anglers failed to break 15-0.
 
Christie, who came into the day trailing Palaniuk by 15 points in the AOY Standings (811-796) caught 20-8 and finished 26th in the daily standings. He actually lost ground in the AOY race and is now trailing Palaniuk by 22 points, 903-881.
 
“Compared to the practice I had, I really had an okay day here today,” Christie said. “I just didn’t catch any of those great big ones — that 5 1/2-pounder or 5 1/4 that you really need to make up a lot of ground here.”
 
Christie said he weighed in five fish that were in the 4 1/2-pound range — and he was glad to have them.
 
“I was a little bit worried about even catching one,” he said. “In the position I’m in this week, if you get out there and start worrying about not catching one, you start moving around a lot. Catching a few early kind of settled me down.”
 
Wheeler’s ninth-place finish left him 23 points back of Palaniuk, but it moved him to within one point of Christie (881-880) in the race for second place.
 
“This is exactly what I needed,” Wheeler said. “A lot of people have been saying this is a two-man race between Brandon and Jason. But realistically, if you have one bad day on this lake, you’re in 40th place.
 
“So, this was exactly what I needed. I just need to go out and do it a couple of more times.”
 
Alabama angler Dustin Connell finished 24th Thursday with 20-9 and took the lead in the Toyota Bassmaster Rookie of the Year standings with 765 total points. New York pro Jamie Hartman fell to second, and despite finishing in 48th place on the first day of competition is only one point behind with 764 for ROY.
 
Unlike the last two years, there will be prize money and a trophy awarded to the angler who has the best three-day weight during the AOY Championship.
 
Texas angler Keith Combs grabbed the early lead in that race Thursday with a bag of 24-15. Michigan angler Jonathon VanDam was second with 24-2, and Pennsylvania angler Dave Lefebre was third with 23-7.
 
The full field will fish again Friday and Sunday to determine the AOY Championship and the event winner. Daily takeoffs will be held each day at 6:50 a.m. CT from Eddy’s Resort, and daily weigh-ins will be held at 3:45 p.m. at Grand Casino Mille Lacs.
 
The field will take a break Saturday for Bassmaster University.

3 Killer Places To Find Fall Bass From Cody Kelley

This post was guest written by Pro Angler Cody Kelley. Follow Cody on Facebook and Instagram here!

All summer you have been hammering the bass out deep in brush piles and structure. Now, it’s time for finding fall bass. Unfortunately, it sometimes seems that the fish will disappear literally overnight towards the end of summer and beginning of fall. Check out these 3 dynamite places to find bass after the fall transition in your favorite reservoir!

Last Flats

This is probably the most commonly keyed on area for fall fishing, but for good reason. This is simply the area in the very back of a creek that creates a ‘flat’ shallow area. As the bait fish move to the back of the creeks, fall bass won’t be far behind. You can undoubtedly catch a few by fan casting the flat hoping to connect with some schoolers, but there is definitely a better way.

Look for any type of wood or hard structure laying on the flat. Something as small as one stick up in a few feet of water can be enough to hold a bass. If you’re lucky enough to fish somewhere with a good crappie fishing population, you will probably have crappie stake beds. Those can be awesome. Heck, I’ve even caught fish off old T-posts before!!

Flat Side Boat Docks

Some bodies of water don’t lend themselves to fishing the flats in the backs of pockets. Some lakes in mountainous regions (like the Ouachita’s and Ozark’s) can lay out like one large river all the way through. In these areas, we still want to target structure on flats, but have to change it up a bit. If you look at the map from Navionics, you will see some shallow flat pockets on the left side, havens for fall bass. All of those shallow boat docks can be money once the bass go shallow on the main lake.

Channel Y’s

Some lakes are still different than previously mentioned. When fall fishing lakes out east, like Hartwell and Clarks Hill, the fish will often use the deep channels of the creeks to run bait back and forth. Think of these channels like small bass highways. To increase your chances of connecting, you want to fish the intersection of the creeks to catch bass coming and going. Often, I like to sit on the shallow secondary point casting out deeper to fall bass.

What To Throw

This is the easy part of fall fishing. You really only need to remember one thing. The fall bass are feeding on small fast moving shad. That being said, we really have all kinds of options to target the fish. Here are 4 of my favorites:

  • War Eagle ¼ oz Double Willow Spinnerbait (Mouse is my personal favorite)
  • ½ oz Strike King Red Eye Shad
  • Crock-O-Gator ¼ oz head knocker buzzbait
  • Keitech 2.8 swimbaits on ¼ oz head (killer in the creek Y’s)

The fall can be some of the most exciting fishing of the year. Hit the areas with some of the mentioned baits and I am sure you will have success hammering the fall bass!

Lowrance® Announces FishHunter Pro and 
FishHunter 3D Castable Transducers
Lowrance Extends Product Range to Stationary Fishing Market
Tulsa, Okla. – Lowrance®, a world-leader in fishing electronics since 1957, announced today the launch of Lowrance FishHunter Pro and Lowrance FishHunter 3D wireless, castable transducers.

 

FishHunter brings the benefits of fishfinding sonar to anglers that fish from a stationary location, such as on the ice, a bank, dock or pier – even from the deck of a boat. Sending real-time sonar data via WiFi connection between the transducer and Android and iOS phones and tablets, FishHunter operates without the need for a cellular or internet connection. Anglers cast the FishHunter transducer into the water and then view sonar returns on their smartphone or tablet to decide where to fish.

FishHunter Pro features a tri-frequency transducer (381 kHz, 475 kHz and 675 kHz) offering four ways to view sonar data including Fish (fish symbols), Raw (fish arches), Bathymetric and Ice Fishing Flasher views. Using its Bathymetric view, anglers can troll FishHunter Pro behind a boat to create Bathymetric maps of an entire lake or favorite fishing spot.
Incorporating five tri-frequency transducers, FishHunter 3D offers five functional views including 3D Fishing and Ice Fishing Flasher, as well as a Directional Casting View that pinpoints fish depth and location relative to the transducer. FishHunter 3D can be trolled behind a boat to create Bathymetric or Structure maps of fishing areas.
“For decades Lowrance has been on the forefront of sonar innovation,” said Leif Ottosson, CEO, Navico. “We are excited about expanding our offerings into this new fishfinding category to bring sonar technology to the large community of anglers that are underserved by the marine electronics market today. With FishHunter 3D, three-dimensional sonar capabilities are now available to the kayak, dock, bank, pier and ice fisherman.”
FishHunter’s unique buoy-shaped design makes it difficult to submerge and increases the reliability of its WiFi connection. The antenna protruding from the top of the FishHunter housing also ensures constant WiFi connectivity for the highest image quality and signal range. By communicating through a WiFi connection, smartphones paired with FishHunter are still able to receive texts and calls.
FishHunter Pro provides a 150-foot depth and 160-foot WiFi range, and FishHunter 3D offers a 160-foot depth and a 200-foot WiFi range. FishHunter’s rechargeable battery lasts for 10 hours of active use and 500 hours on standby.
Both Pro and 3D models feature LED illumination making them easy to locate in any lighting condition. FishHunter smartphone and tablet apps can be downloaded through the Apple iTunes store for iOS devices and Google Play Store for Android devices. The FishHunter app includes social features allowing anglers to log catches, waypoints, follow friends and even live stream catches from around the world.
Lowrance FishHunter Pro is available for $149 USD and FishHunter 3D for $199 USD. For more information on Lowrance FishHunter wireless castable transducers, or to locate an authorized dealer, please visit www.lowrance.com.
