The perils of pre-fishing January 15, 2017 Bassmaster.com

Seigo Saito

I’m not going to pre-fish anything this year. Here’s why…

It was either Woody Hayes (Ohio State Buckeyes) or Darrell Royal (Texas Longhorns) who famously observed, “Three things can happen when you throw the ball, and two of them are bad.” That pretty much sums up my thinking about pre-fishing a month or more out from a tournament.

The first thing that can go bad is that you go fishing and catch them. That sounds like a good thing, right? Not really. Fishing professionally is about winning tournaments or at least placing high so you make some points and earn a check. It’s not about catching fish in practice.

Bring Paddle-Tail Bass Fishing Swimbaits Back to Life

Luke Stoner

January 12,2017

When the boot tail of a soft swimbait is damaged, the action will be hindered significantly. This trick will help you fix this common issue and save some money over time.

Paddle-tail swimbaits are proven bass fishing lures throughout the entire year and even more so when fish become sluggish. Whether you thread your swimmer on a single jighead, use it on an underspin or pair it with several others on an umbrella rig, these baits flat-out catch ‘em.

But not all paddle-tail swimbaits are created equal; not even separate swimmers pulled from the same package. You’ll often have a package of five swimbaits and four are excellent while one swimbait’s boot-tail has been bent or otherwise compromised.

Lure modification aficionado Terry Scroggins has figured out a quick and easy remedy to this issue.

First Look: River2Sea Biggie Smalls Squarebill Crankbait

Walker Smith

July 12,2017

This bass fishing crankbait has been a major producer throughout our testing. It has an aggressive action, high-end components and it deflects off of hard cover with ease.

As many of you know, I’m incredibly picky when it comes to crankbaits; I test dozens of models each year that never earn a spot in my box. I’ve never used a River2Sea crankbait before testing the Biggie Squarebill, so I wasn’t sure what to expect as I began the testing process.

After several weeks of real-word use and experimentation, I’m rather impressed by this lure. As I do with each crankbait I test, I made a concerted effort to pay close attention to several key components and characteristics.

Bassmaster Classic Invitation On The Line During Open Tournament On Florida’s Harris Chain

The first Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Southern Open of 2017 heads to Harris Chain of Lakes out of Leesburg, Fla., Jan. 19-21, where anglers will compete for cash and prizes and also a berth in the 2018 GEICO Bassmaster Classic.

Bassmaster Classic Invitation On The Line During Open Tournament On Florida’s Harris Chain

[print_link]

LEESBURG, Fla. — Shaw Grigsby has been fishing professionally for longer than some of his fellow Bassmaster Elite Series competitors have been alive.

The 60-year-old Gainesville, Fla., angler has nine B.A.S.S. wins in his long career, with the latest coming in the Bassmaster Elite Series Sunshine Showdown on Florida’s Harris Chain of Lakes in March 2011. That also happens to be the only first-place finish he has on the ultracompetitive Elite Series circuit.

The Harris Chain obviously is a special place for Grigsby, even though he only fishes there when B.A.S.S. holds events on the 80,000-acre network of nine lakes and canals northwest of Orlando.

B.A.S.S. is heading back to the Harris Chain for the first Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Southern Open on Jan. 19-21. It’s the opening tournament on the 2017 B.A.S.S. schedule, and approximately 400 anglers (200 pros and as many co-anglers,) are expected to compete.

Not surprisingly, Grigsby will be in that number, and he’s expecting a “banner tournament.” He also said no angler (Elite Series or not) will hold anything back — not with a spot in the 2018 GEICO Bassmaster Classic going to the winner.

In addition to the first-place prize of $51,400, the winner will earns an invitation to the following year’s Classic championship, providing he or she fishes all three Opens in the division.

“I really think this could be a great tournament,” Grigsby said. “The last few events we’ve had down in Florida were under cold front conditions, and they weren’t so great. But we’ve had a warm winter and fishing has been good. The Harris Chain should be in prespawn, which means the bass should be grouped up, more than likely. People will be looking for a grassline, including some in hydrilla. You find one bass, and you’re going to find a bunch of them.

“If the weather stays right, I wouldn’t be surprised to see 25, 26, 27 pounds come in on any of the three days,” Grigsby said. “Maybe more.”

It was a 29-pound, 8-ounce limit on Day 2 of the four-day Sunshine Showdown six years ago that propelled Grigsby to victory in that tournament. That event was held in March, which may have made for heavier bags. Perhaps more indicative of the expected haul in this tournament could be last year’s winning total in the Southern Open held in late January on the nearby Kissimmee Chain of Lakes. Wesley Strader won that event with a three-day total of 50 pounds, 5 ounces, and is in the 2017 GEICO Bassmaster Classic (to be held March 24-26 in Houston) as a result.

Grigsby said there are advantages on the Harris Chain that could push this year’s winning total higher. Competitors who invest several days in pre-tournament scouting might find a mother lode of bass, he said.

In addition, the expansive Harris Chain offers a variety of options for anglers. And if the weather in central Florida remains warm, it could push some bass into an early spawn, which could create an even wider spectrum of opportunities to hook lunker largemouth.

“In tournaments before, I’ve seen Kevin VanDam cranking, Rick Clunn spinning and Skeet Reese cranking in there,” Grigsby said. “The thing about the Harris Chain is it lends itself to whatever technique you like. No matter who you are or what you like to fish, you have a chance on the Harris Chain.”

That reality, and the shot at a Classic berth, could make the first Southern Open of 2017 a wide-open event.

“This is a very big deal for all of us,” Grigsby said. “You win it, and you’re in the Classic. With the Elites, you have to fish all nine of (the tournaments,) and finish high enough in points to get in. This is a one-shot deal. It’s a chance, and it’s a springboard. You win, and you’re automatically on the biggest stage in fishing.”

While most Opens pros are competing for prize money and that Classic berth, many are also hoping to finish high enough in the season standings to qualify for the exclusive Bassmaster Elite Series. Bids are offered to the Top 5 pros in each division at the conclusion of the season, assuming they are not already qualified for the Elites.

Takeoffs for all three days of the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Southern Open No. 1 will be at 7 a.m. ET from Venetian Gardens, 250 Ball Park Road, in Leesburg, Fla. Weigh-ins for the first two days of fishing will be held at 3 p.m. at Ski Beach Park on Lake Harris Drive in Leesburg.

The field will be cut to the Top 12 pros after the second day of competition. Those dozen anglers will be featured at the final weigh-in beginning at 4:15 p.m. ET on Saturday, Jan. 21 at the Bass Pro Shops store at 5156 International Drive, Orlando. The public is invited to attend all takeoffs and weigh-ins, and there is no cost of admission.

Pro anglers entered in the tournament can weigh five bass (which must be at least 12 inches long.) Co-anglers, who will be competing for a separate prize fund, can weigh three bass of the same length.

The first Southern Open of 2017 will be followed by two additional tournaments in the division — on Lake Chickamauga (Tenn.) April 20-22 and on Smith Lake (Ala.) Sept. 28-30.

First Look: Team Lew’s Pro Speed Stick LFS-X5 Casting Rod

Walker Smith

Yesterday January 11,2017

There has been a lot of hype surrounding this new bass fishing rod series. We have spent many hours and made thousands of casts with them throughout our testing and it’s clear that Lew’s isn’t messing around when it comes to building a high-end rod.

I’m extremely picky with my fishing rods. Over the years, I’ve learned that it’s quite difficult to find the right combination of weightlessness, strength and balance when making a purchase. I’ve tested just about every model on the market and only a select few earn a permanent spot on my front deck.

I’ve spent a lot of time using the new Team Lew’s Pro Speed Stick LFS-X5 casting rods this season. There has been a lot of time and effort spent on the development of these rods and after fishing with them on both big and small waters, I think they’re going to make a huge impression on the angling community.

FLW ANNOUNCES PRO FIELD FOR 2017 FLW TOUR

 

[print_link]

MINNEAPOLIS (Jan. 10, 2017) – Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) announced today the complete professional angler roster of 165 for the upcoming 2017 FLW Tour season, the 22nd season of the FLW Tour. The 2017 FLW Tour will feature seven regular-season tournaments with competition kicking off Feb. 2-5 at Lake Guntersville in Guntersville, Alabama.

The 2017 FLW Tour roster is headlined by three-time reigning Angler of the Year (AOY) Andy Morgan of Dayton, Tennessee, and 2016 Forrest Wood Cup champion John Cox of DeBary, Florida. They’ll be joined by nine former FLW Tour AOY winners, six former Forrest Wood Cup champions, and 30 Tour rookies in 2017.

Also making their FLW Tour debut at Lake Guntersville in February will be former Bassmaster Elite Series competitors Carl Jocumsen, Billy McCaghren, Matt Reed, Casey Scanlon and Dennis Tietje. Those newcomers bring a combined 33 top-10 finishes and career earnings of more than $1.6 million to the Tour.

“The talent level of the professional anglers on the 2017 FLW Tour roster is second to none,” said Bill Taylor, Senior FLW Tournament Director. “We are extremely excited to kick off the season next month at Lake Guntersville and I anticipate that this season will be one of the most competitive seasons that we have ever had in FLW Tour history.”

The top 100 pros and top 10 co-anglers from the 2016 FLW Tour, the top 10 pros from each of the five 2016 FLW Series divisions, the 2016 TBF National Champion, and the 2016 BFL All-American champion all received priority invitations to join the Tour.

In addition to the $125,000 paycheck that is awarded to FLW Tour winners, FLW will pay out at least $10,000 to pros down to 50th place along with one additional payout of $4,000 per boat over a 160-boat field. The season opener on Lake Guntersville, scheduled to fish 165 boats, will pay out 55 places.

In FLW Tour competition anglers are vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup, the world championship of bass fishing. The 2017 Forrest Wood Cup will be in Columbia, South Carolina, Aug. 11-13 on Lake Murray and is hosted by the Capital City Lake Murray Country Regional Tourism Board.

PLANO SYNERGY ANNOUNCES KEY MARKETING TEAM ADDITIONS

COURTNEY HENDERSON, ANDY BAUMBACH AND LORI GOLDBERG ASSUME LEADERSHIP ROLES TO POSITION PREMIUM OUTDOOR BRANDS FOR CONTINUED GROWTH

Grand Prairie, TX (January 10, 2017) – Plano Synergy, a market leader across multiple hunting and fishing product categories, has announced the hiring of Courtney Henderson as Senior Director of Marketing, Andy Baumbach as Hunting Marketing Manager, and Lori Goldberg as Retail Marketing Manager.

Senior Director of Marketing Courtney Henderson

Courtney Henderson joins Plano Synergy as Senior Director of Marketing, working closely with Vice President of Marketing, Pete Angle. “Courtney’s drive to understand and help people – from the consumer to people she may never actually meet – make her a tremendous asset to the Plano Synergy team,” says Angle, who points towards Henderson’s extensive media planning and merchandising expertise as significant factors in her hire. “Courtney’s wide-ranging experience with key retailers and iconic brands put her in a great position to help propel our own products and brands to even greater success.”

After graduating from the University of Oklahoma with a business degree in marketing with an advertising emphasis, Henderson spent 12 years on the advertising agency side of the industry, gaining skills in media planning/buying and account service at notable firms like TracyLocke and Saatchi & Saatchi X. She went on to help lead the in-store experience and merchandising for major brands like Pampers, Tide, Bounty, Charmin and more on Walmart’s global customer marketing team.

Later, Henderson took her passions client-side as Senior Marketing Manager of National Retail for Samsung, where she grew to further appreciate the complexities of the shopper mindset – leading fast-paced and highly competitive mobile phone launches and honing her in-store merchandising skills at retail giants like Target, Walmart, Amazon and Costco.

Outside of work, Courtney is incredibly passionate about giving back to her community. Through her involvement with the Junior League of Dallas, she serves as a mentor at Interfaith Family Services, a housing facility helping people transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Most recently, Courtney and her husband, Brian, became first-time parents when they were placed with a baby boy. Charlie, who they plan to adopt, turned 12 weeks on Christmas Day.

“It’s incredibly exciting and uplifting to work with such an enthusiastic customer base while representing so many products and brands that are true category champions,” says Henderson. “It’s a marketer’s dream come true, topped only by the outstanding team of smart, creative and equally passionate people I get to work with here at Plano Synergy every day.”

Hunting Marketing Manager Andy Baumbach

Andy Baumbach is Plano Synergy’s new Hunting Marketing Manager, reporting to Henderson. “In addition to an exceptional set of skills and work ethic, Andy brings an intimate familiarity and appreciation for the Plano Synergy brands,” says Henderson, referencing both Baumbach’s personal attachment to the outdoors, and his ongoing employment with Plano Synergy.

Baumbach understands the passions of Plano Synergy’s customers well. A Florida native, he grew up hunting whitetails in Georgia with his dad. He first entered a blind at age two, and took his first deer at 11. They set out on the water during the summer months, fishing along Florida’s Gulf Coast for saltwater sport fish and chasing largemouth bass on inland lakes and rivers.

Baumbach graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2014 with a digital marketing degree specializing in graphic design. Looking to kick-start his career, he applied for a graphic design role at Plano Synergy’s Grand Prairie office. One month later, Baumbach became a Texas resident and began working on brands like Barnett Crossbows, Zink Calls, Avian-X, Flextone and Browning Crossbows.

“It’s hard to express how truly excited I am to have this new opportunity, or how appreciative I feel to have earned Plano Synergy’s trust,” Baumbach says. “Plano Synergy has a great team in place and I’m looking forward to helping grow these awesome brands and products that I have so much personal faith and pride in.”

Retail Marketing Manager Lori Goldberg

Lori Goldberg joins Plano Synergy as Retail Marketing Manager, and also reports to Henderson. “Lori has an impressive record of successfully implementing cohesive retail identities across thousands of individual dealership entities,” says Henderson, recognizing Goldberg’s professional accomplishments during her tenure with Oakley and Yeti Coolers. “She’s proven that she can sort through a brand’s existing retail landscape and piece it back together in a way that speaks to a brand’s identity and, ultimately, its consumers.”

Goldberg graduated from California State University-Long Beach with a B.S. in Marketing specializing in Strategic/Operations Management before taking her first job as a Retail Marketing Specialist at Oakley. She grew up in California where the surfing/skating culture was king. Working behind the scenes at Oakley, Goldberg learned how to translate the culture she knew well so people at stores around the world understood it, too. It was during this time that she truly fell in love with the outdoor industry.

Lori went on to become a Retail Marketing Manager at Ariat International before moving to Texas in 2014 to work for Yeti Coolers, which had no retail marketing function at the time. She’s approaching her new role at Plano Synergy with a level of tenacity that mirrors her past accomplishments. “I’m looking forward to diving into all of our brands to understand and enhance consumer perceptions,” she says.

When she isn’t working with outdoor brands, Lori is in the outdoors herself – exploring Europe with her twin sister, snowboarding down a mountain in Colorado, or camping at a Texas park.

Like so many at Plano Synergy, Henderson, Baumbach and Goldberg know that life is best lived outside.

First Look: Wave Away Sonar and GPS Cleaner By Walker Smith January 5,2017

First Look: Wave Away Sonar and GPS Cleaner

Walker Smith

January 5,2017

This cleaning solution makes even the dirtiest screens look brand new.

I’m probably a little too particular about the screens on my Lowrance units; I’ve had a lot of buddies give me grief for cleaning them so often. These units are essentially my underwater eyes, so if they’re covered with water spots and dried strands of grass, it’s like looking through dirty sunglasses. It’s obnoxious.

I’ve been using Wave Away Sonar and GPS Cleaner long before I ever started working with Wired2Fish. After trying dozens of products over the years, I couldn’t find anything that worked without leaving a milky haze on my screens. This cleaner, however, leaves ‘em looking brand new with little to no elbow grease.
