Nicholls State Grabs Lead In College Bass Championship

Nicholls State Grabs Lead In College Bass Championship

[print_link]

STEVENS POINT, Wis. — Tyler Rivet and Allyson Marcel of Nicholls State University hauled in 8 pounds, 7 ounces on Friday to vault from eighth place and into the second-round lead of the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops.

The Louisiana college’s team ground out a three-bass limit heavy enough to claim a 6-ounce lead heading into the final day of team competition Saturday on Lake DuBay.

While catches for most of the 81 teams in the championship were smaller on the second day, Rivet and Marcel stayed with the tactics and locations that had them among the leaders in the first round.

“We did exactly the same thing today and fished the exact same spots,” Rivet said. “It’s an undercut bank in a small canal, and it reminds us of how we fish back in Louisiana. We had to hit the bank with our baits, or we wouldn’t have a chance to catch a bass.”

Consistency has been the key for Nicholls State, but with increased fishing pressure on Lake DuBay this week, fish catches are expected to decline even more in Saturday’s final round.

“I think we will be fine,” Marcel said. “I don’t want to jinx us, but we missed two fish today, and I think they could bite again tomorrow at some point.”

The first-round leaders from Texas A&M University, Josh Bensema and Matthew McArdle, checked in with 6 pounds, 9 ounces of DuBay bass to stay within striking distance of the lead and a possible National Championship title.

Bensema and McArdle started quickly Thursday, catching a limit before 7 a.m., but Friday was much different. The Texas duo didn’t land a keeper bass until around 9:30 a.m. After a slow start, however, they began to figure out where the fish were positioning and when they might expect to get a bite from a keeper bass.

“The water level came up some in our area, and the fish seemed to farther into the cover,” McArdle said. “We just had to fish our baits a little deeper in the cover to get bit.”

Bensema and McArdle used a one-two punch of lures the first day but switched to a topwater bait to boat their three bass Friday.

“Later today, Matt picked up a frog and caught our final keeper,” Bensema said. “I think on Saturday we will throw that for at least 90 percent of the day.”

The University of North Carolina-Charlotte team of Jake Whitaker and Andrew Helms — defending national champions from 2014 — moved into third, less than 2 pounds behind the leaders.

Whitaker and Helms have been concentrating on a specific area of DuBay the first two days and don’t plan to change locations. Their hope is to be the first collegiate anglers to claim back-to-back titles in the Carhartt Bassmaster College championship.

“Our first goal is to get three fish in the boat,” Whitaker said. “Depending on what time we can get our limit, we will go big and swing for the fences because we want to win. We know what it feels like, and we know a big fish can do it.”

Whitaker and Helms made passes along a specific stretch of bank throughout the first two days of competition, switching up baits as they went along to see what baits were key during different parts of the day.

Trevor Lo and Chris Burgan from the University of Minnesota weighed in two smallmouth for 3 pounds, 13 ounces to slip into the Top 5 and are currently in fourth heading into the final day.

Frank Appaluccio and Logan Shaddix of the University of Alabama squeezed into the Top 5 finals after winning a tiebreaker provision over East Carolina’s Zach Blalock and Mike Corbishley. Both teams had 11-11 after two rounds of fishing.

Tyler Rivet and Allyson Marcel of Nicholls State weighed in the Bass Pro Shops/Nitro Big Bag of the tournament (8-7) so far with one day remaining; the winner of this award also receives a $250 Bass Pro Shops gift card.

Rivet and Marcel also earned the Livingston Lures Leader Award, which is given to the team leading after two days. Both members will receive a $250 Livingston Lures gift card.

John Garrent and Brian Pahl of Bethel University currently hold the Carhartt Big Bass award with a 3-11 bass from Day 1. A $500 Carhartt gift card goes to the tournament’s biggest bass.

Mellow Dillow Leapfrogs Duckett For Northern Open Lead

Chris Dillow of Waynesboro, Va., leads on Day 2 of the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Northern Open #1 presented by Allstate held on the James River out of Richmond, Va. Dillow brought 12 pounds, 13 ounces to the scales at Friday’s weigh-in for a two-day total of 31-10.

Mellow Dillow Leapfrogs Duckett For Northern Open Lead

[print_link]

RICHMOND, Va. — As other pros struggled with tides that didn’t act the way the tide chart dictated, Waynesboro, Va., pro Chris Dillow “just went fishing” and leapfrogged yesterday’s leader Boyd Duckett to take the lead in the Bass Pro Shops Northern Open presented by Allstate on the James River.

Dillow added 12 pounds, 13 ounces to the 18-13 he caught yesterday and now leads Duckett by 2-7 heading into the final day of competition.

“I did the same thing as yesterday,” Dillow said. “And I’m not going to change anything tomorrow. I’m going to run the same water and keep my homemade jig in my hand.”

The remainder of the Top 12 pro field is comprised mostly of full-time pros, including two Bassmaster Classic winners, Duckett and Mike Iaconelli, but Dillow said he’s not intimidated. “I’ve beaten them before,” he stated. “At the same time, I’m humbled to be on the same stage as those guys.”

Thursday’s opening round saw four limits weighing more than 17 pounds, but today there were none. Matt Vermilyea of Ohio weighed in the day’s best, 16-9, to jump up from 91st place and claim the last spot in the Top 12. No one has weighed in more than 14 pounds both days. Third-place pro Michael Simonton of Ohio came the closest, producing 14-14 on Day 1 and 13-10 today. Eight of Thursday’s Top 12 remain in the hunt, but many seemed flummoxed by a tidal system they thought they understood.

Perhaps no one was more hurt by the tide — or lack thereof — than Duckett, the 2007 Bassmaster Classic winner, whose 8-15 Day 2 catch was less than half of what he weighed in on Day 1.

“We had a really weird tide today,” he said. “It was almost like we didn’t have one. It came up real slow and we never had current. The tide never did anything.”

He remained in his primary area until 11:30 a.m. without catching a keeper and then scrambled up the river to sack a small limit. Despite today’s struggles, he plans to start downriver again Saturday. “Big fish live there,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if I finish fifth or 12th. I’m not fishing this for points.”

Like Duckett, Pennsylvania pro Dave Lefebre slipped down the leaderboard, in his case from third to fifth, also catching less than half of his first-day weight. He only weighed in three fish, two short of his limit, and now sits a bit over 4 pounds out of the lead.

“I need 10 bites to catch five fish,” Lefebre said. “I only had seven today. I have a big fish deal going, and I got three bites on it yesterday and only one today. I’ll follow that all day tomorrow.”

Iaconelli’s Day 2 catch didn’t fall into the single digits, but the 11-3 he weighed in, combined with his 15-9 from yesterday, enabled him to hold down eighth. Like many of the others, Iaconelli observed that the tide didn’t move as expected, but he couldn’t quite explain why.

“It was a little behind,” he said. “You can’t predict that. On the Delaware River, sometimes “something in the ocean, 350 miles away, causes a big impact.” He said that fishing pressure in fragile areas is also likely making fishing tough.

“More than anything, it’s guys moving around,” he stated. “That stirs the banks up and the muddy water from the wash shuts them down, even if you have the right tide.”

Unless local fishing pressure increases on the final day of competition Saturday, the remaining dozen pros and an equal number of co-anglers should have a bit more breathing room. Regardless of whether the tide moves as planned, a winner will be crowned in the afternoon.

Dillow’s second-day leadership earned him the $250 Livingston Lures Leader Award.

In the co-angler division, Louis Britos of Disputanta, Va., caught a limit that weighed 6-5, far short of the 12-7 that put him in the lead on Day 1, but it was enough to hold onto first place with a lead of 2-6. For leading after Day 2, he earns the $250 Livingston Lure Pack.

Fort Worth, Texas, pro Trait Crist caught an 8-pound largemouth to take over the Bass Pro Shops Big Bass of the tournament lead on the pro side. If that fish holds up through tomorrow’s final weigh in Crist will win $750. She fooled the big bass with a black grape finesse worm fished on a Slider Head. The 7-2 largemouth that Britos weighed in on Day 1 remains the heaviest bass caught on the co-angler side. If it is not surpassed tomorrow, he will win $250.

Chris Flint of Potsdam, N.Y., recovered from a bad first day to win the Allstate Good Hands, Great Day award of $250 for moving from 136th place to 52nd thanks to a 14-pound limit.

Among co-anglers, Matt Madlener of Lake Villa, Ill., moved from 125th to 10th place to garner $150 from Allstate.

The 12 pros and 12 co-anglers competing on the final day of the tournament will launch Saturday at 6 a.m. ET at Osborne Park and Boat Landing. The final weigh-in will be held at the Bass Pro Shops in Ashland at 3 p.m.

Texas A&M Grabs Early Lead In College Bass Championship

Matthew McArdle (left) and Josh Bensema of Texas A&M University take the Day 1 lead in the 2015 Carhartt Bassmaster College Series National Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops on Lake DuBay with 8 pounds, 1 ounce.

Texas A&M Grabs Early Lead In College Bass Championship

[print_link]

STEVENS POINT, Wis. — The Aggies of Texas A&M University brought in only 8 pounds, 1 ounce of bass Thursday, but that was enough to lead the first round of the Carhartt Bassmaster College National Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops.

Texas A&M’s Josh Bensema and Matthew McArdle started fast and furious on Lake DuBay, catching their three-bass limit early and leading the way on a challenging fishery.

“This morning went very well for us,” Bensema said. “We had our fish by 7 a.m., and then we decided to lay off and save them for tomorrow.”

The Texas anglers made a crucial decision on the final practice day.

“It took us three days to figure out the pattern,” McArdle said. “We are from Texas, and we have largemouth. We tried to figure out the smallmouth over the last few days and we couldn’t, so on the third day of practice, we went searching for largemouth. And we found them.”

Unlike Bensema and McArdle, who were right at home in the shallow backwaters catching largemouth, the two teams tied for second place weighed in limits of smallmouth.

JP Kimbrough and Jared Rascoe of Louisiana State University-Shreveport and Trevor Lo and Chris Burgan of the University of Minnesota are tied at 7 pounds, 15 ounces apiece. Kimbrough and Rascoe started slow Thursday morning, but steadily put together their three-fish limit.

After failing to score in areas where they had practiced, the pair moved to another area of Lake DuBay and caught what would be the biggest bass of the day for them, according to Kimbrough. When that area “started to get crowded” the pair went to yet another new spot. They didn’t fill out their limit until 15 minutes before it was time to head back to check-in.

The falling water on Lake DuBay was a popular topic backstage, but LSU-Shreveport doesn’t think it will bother their bite much, but they wonder how it could affect the anglers targeting largemouth.

Minnesota’s Lo and Burgan caught 7-15 as well and are just 2 ounces off the pace set by Texas A&M.

“We were just hoping to catch a limit going into today. We pulled up to a spot that we didn’t fish in practice and we caught them there,” Lo said. “We only culled once today, so it was slow after the flurry.”

Appalachian State’s Hunter Hill and Ethan Howell sacked up 7 pounds, 14 ounces to finish the day in fourth. Their limit bag consisted of two largemouth and one smallmouth.

Rounding out the Top 5 is Frankie Appaluccio and Logan Shaddix of the University of Alabama with 7 1/2 pounds of smallmouth bass.

The defending National Champions, Jake Whitaker and Andrew Helms of the University of North Carolina-Charlotte are tied for sixth — just 2 ounces behind Appaluccio and Shaddix — with Cade Laufenberg and Wyatt Stout of Winona State. The weights on DuBay were very close with 12th place sitting just 2 pounds out of the Top 5, which will advance to the final day.

John Garrett and Brian Pahl from Bethel University lead the Bass Pro Shops Big Bass competition with a fish weighing 3 pounds, 11 ounces.

The three-fish limit may seem odd in an age when five is the typical tournament limit, but Wisconsin allows each competitor to have three fish per day. Since four anglers are fishing the National Championship solo, tournament officials established a three bass limits for the entire field.

All of the Day 2 action from Lake DuBay will be on Bassmaster.com throughout the day and weigh-in begins at 3 p.m. CT at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Friday’s takeoff is at the Tiki Beach Bar and Grill at 6 a.m. CT.

Old Town® introduces the new, advanced and comfortable Loon Angler™ kayak

Old Town® introduces the new,

advanced and comfortable Loon Angler™ kayak

[print_link]

 

OLD TOWN, MAINE (July 10, 2015) — Old Town has expanded their lineup with the new Loon Angler kayak. This one-of-a-kind fishing craft is an evolution of Old Town’s original and extremely popular Loon that made its debut 20 years ago. Old Town will unveil their new Loon Angler at ICAST 2015, the world’s largest sportfishing trade show.

An exciting feature that’s exclusive to the Loon Angler is the innovative, removable workdeck that’s positioned at arm’s reach in front of the paddler. In addition to tackle trays and bottle holder it has a built-in storage compartment with a latched lid to keep gear secure and organized. The incorporated Slide Track mount makes it easy to quickly attach accessories.  The workdeck also includes a USB port to keep phones, action cameras, hand-held GPS units and other electronics fully charged.

The Loon Angler is a sit-inside kayak for anglers who want the comfort and shelter from the elements that an enclosed design provides. Both the 10’6” and 12’6” models are engineered with extra width and volume in the 3-layer hull for optimum stability, roominess and comfort.

 

Adding to that comfort is the kayak’s Active Comfort System 2.0 (ACS2) seat that combines aesthetics, ergonomic comfort and performance. ACS2 features easy and intuitive adjustments, under-leg support, premium padding and flow-through ventilation, making it the most advanced kayak seating system on the market.

For convenience and fishing efficiency, the Loon Angler has two integrated, flush-mount rod holders located just behind the cockpit. They’re perfectly positioned for trolling applications or to quickly grab a rod and cast. For storage of tackle and other gear, the kayak features bow and stern deck bungees and a rear click seal hatch with bulkhead.

According to Old Town’s Marketing Communications Manager Luke LaBree, “The Loon Angler is easily the most comfortable sit-inside fishing kayak on the market. It’s easy to paddle, designed for performance and has all the fishing features our customers have asked for.”

Boyd Duckett Rides James River Tides To Lead Northern Open

Boyd Duckett Rides James River Tides To Lead Northern Open

[print_link]

RICHMOND, Va. – The Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Northern Opens presented by Allstate are supposed to provide anglers with a respite from the summertime heat of the Deep South, but on Thursday, the first day of the season-opening tournament on the James River, the temperature hit a steamy and humid high of 97 degrees.

Alabama pro Boyd Duckett likewise brought the Southern-fried heat, as he sacked 20 pounds, 4 ounces of James River bass to take an early lead.

“I burned lots of fuel today,” said the 2007 Bassmaster Classic champion. “I hit a lot of one-fish spots. The tide is everything here; you have to hit your best places at the right time. There are lots of boats running the areas that I’m fishing. Every place I fished had 29 boats on it. But it’s the way that I’m fishing it that makes the difference.”

Mike Iaconelli, who sits in seventh place with 15-9 and has made two final-day cuts here before, said that he was surprised to see a 20-pound bag brought to the scales. There might have been two such bags had Pennsylvania pro Dave Lefebre capitalized on all of his chances. Instead he weighed in 18-6, putting him in third, less than 2 pounds behind Duckett.

Like Duckett, Lefebre said he’s “doing something a little bit different,” and had the bites to have a 23-pound limit.

In between those two pros sits Chris Dillow of Waynesboro, Va., with 18-13. Dillow is taking a break from his real estate business and “just going fishing.”

Despite being a relative local, Dillow said he’s not running the tides, but rather waiting out his fish throughout the changing water levels.

“I didn’t have a plan today,” he said. “Tomorrow my only plan is to keep Dillow’s Perfect Jig in my hand and not put it down.”

Another pair of Virginians, Ryan Powroznik and Frank Poirier, hold down fourth and fifth with 17-3 and 16-4, respectively. Powroznik, the cousin of Elite Series pro Jacob Powroznik, ran the tide until about 1 o’clock, but said that he could have done better had he not gotten behind on his rotation.

“There’s only a tight window of time when they’re feeding,” he explained. “I didn’t beat on them too bad today.”

While Iaconelli is nearly 5 pounds off the lead, he refused to concede anything after one day, He noted that Duckett similarly had a massive bag last year at the Elite Series tournament on the Delaware River, an event in which Iaconelli eventually claimed the trophy before an adoring hometown crowd.

“The key here is to be consistent,” Iaconelli said. “Anyone who can catch 13 to 15 pounds a day over three days will have a shot to win.”

In the co-angler division, Lou Britos of Disputanta, Va., the last man in the field of nearly 400 total anglers to weigh in, took a commanding lead with a three-fish limit that weighed 12-07. No other co-angler made it into double digits. Indeed, the next angler in line, Scott Kerslake, is still shy of 4 pounds of Britos. Included in his catch was a 7-2 largemouth that he caught on a spinnerbait around noon, fishing behind pro Joe Gensini of Illinois.

“I didn’t do anything special,” Britos said. “My partner had me around fish all day.”

The big bass on the pro side was caught by Roy Minnock, also of Illinois. His bass weighed 6-11. If either of those fish holds up as the Bass Pro Shops Big Bass of the tournament in their respective divisions, they will be worth $750 on the pro side and $250 on the amateur side.

The full field will compete on Friday, and the Top 12 pros and the Top 12 co-anglers qualifying for the finals on Saturday.

The tournament will launch each day at 6 a.m. ET at Osborne Park and Boat Landing. Saturday’s final weigh-in will be held at the Bass Pro Shops in Ashland at 3 p.m. Eastern Time.

The local hosts for the event are Visit Richmond and Henrico County Recreation and Park.

WALMART BFL HOOSIER EVENT ON OHIO RIVER RESCHEDULED TO AUGUST

WALMART BFL HOOSIER EVENT ON OHIO RIVER RESCHEDULED TO AUGUST

Advisory for Thursday, July 9, 2015

[print_link]

WHAT:                  Walmart Bass Fishing League (BFL) Hoosier Division tournament on Ohio River at Tanner’s Creek
WHEN:                  Originally scheduled for July 11, 2015, has been rescheduled to August 29, 2015
WHERE:               Takeoff – 6:30 a.m. and weigh-in – 2:30 p.m., Lawrenceburg City Ramp, Lawrenceburg, Ind.
NOTES:
The Walmart BFL tournament on the Ohio River at Tanner’s Creek slated for July 11 has been rescheduled to August 29 due to extremely high water levels. All takeoff and weigh-in locations and times will remain the same. Anglers will takeoff and weigh-in at the Lawrenceburg City Ramp, located at Tanner’s Creek Drive in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Up to 400 boaters and co-anglers will be competing for top awards of up to $8,000 and $3,000 respectively in the one-day event.
The top 50 boaters and 50 co-anglers based on point standings will qualify for the Oct. 15-17 Regional Championship on Kentucky Lake in Gilbertsville, Kentucky. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard and $20,000, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard.
The BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 120 tournaments throughout the season, five in each division. The top 50 boaters and co-anglers from each division qualify for a regional tournament and compete to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the Walmart BFL All-American. Top winners in the BFL can move up to the Rayovac FLW Series or even the Walmart FLW Tour.

STOW, STOW, STOW IT IN YOUR BOAT NEW FRABILL STOW SERIES GEAR EASILY THE BEST PACKABLE RAINGEAR

STOW, STOW, STOW IT IN YOUR BOAT

NEW FRABILL STOW SERIES GEAR EASILY THE BEST PACKABLE RAINGEAR

[print_link]

PLANO, IL (July 8, 2015) – Wikipedia defines a raincoat as, “A waterproof or water-resistant coat worn to protect the body from rain. A rain jacket may be combined with a pair of rain pants to make a rain suit.” (My times have changed….citing Wikipedia as an “official” source of information.)

In fishing, we prefer the term “raingear” – a matched top and bottom. And at the core of raingear performance is this simple little notion of keeping you dry – raindrops outside, happiness inside. Beyond that, differentiators from suit to suit and brand to brand range from multiple layers of space-age fabrics to a precious little viewfinder on the wrist to apparently Snap Chat while you’re fishing.

The fit, finish and performance of Frabill’s new Stow Series raingear shockingly great in its price-range.

Frabill says never mind the bullocks. New for 2016, the company that redefined fishing-specific raingear, ushers in the most sensible, peak-performance and light-on-your-wallet raingear to date: the Stow Series.

 

As the name implies, it’s stowable. That doesn’t mean cramming a moldy suit back in the clear plastic bag it came in – Frabill saves that torture-treatment for the other guys. Rather, the Stow Series literally packs back into itself. The left-hand pocket of the pants becomes its own storage. Same goes for the left-hand pocket of the jacket. Easy as that.

So, you know the Stow Series packs like a pro and travels like a champ. But that’s only the icing on the cake…

New Stow Series jackets available in Coastal Blue, Black and Brown; sizes S – 3XL

At the root of all Frabill outerwear is fabric selection. Frabill uses the highest-quality and most technologically advanced materials across all of its outerwear models, raingear and winterwear. The Stow Series marries a trio of technologies to create total waterproofness and breathability. The outer shell is constructed of durable Nylon ripstop fabric. Beneath that lies a waterproof and breathable membrane. Sealing the deal is a topical treatment of 3M™ Scotchgard™, providing a powerful first line of defense against moisture. All told, with seams 100% sealed, Stow Series is a veritable safe-house for anglers.

Features on the jacket abound. Large outer pockets with zipper closures accommodate fistfuls of gear. The main zipper is protected by a pair of storm flaps, the innermost with a rain gutter to stream water droplets away.

A two-way adjustable, waterproof hood with reinforced brim/sun visor eases your eyes from squinting as well as water dripping off the tip of your nose.

New Stow Series pants available in Black and Light Brown; sizes S – 3XL

A-grade accoutrements continue with an adjustable bungee cord at the hem for a precise fit and internal elastic sleeve cuffs to keep comfortably snug at the wrists. A side-seam D-ring is perfectly placed for tethering your corded kill-switch or trolling motor remote. Augmenting safety, the Frabill Stow Series features 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material on the front and back. Last but not least, all Stow Series zippers are branded YKK or SBS, not nameless bargain-bin componentry.

The Stow Series pants are equally as exceptional. Like last year’s revolutionary F-1 Series Storm Gear release, the Stow Series pants feature removable, full-elastic shoulder straps. So if you prefer the feel of pants over bibs, simply shed the shoulder straps. The pant cuffs are also adjustable with cuff-to-knee, half-length leg zippers for easy in and out.

Other standout components include Frabill’s signature ergonomic, articulated knees. None of that straight-legged (aka “linear patterning”), starchy feel. The Stow Suit kneels and flexes with you. And like the jacket, the bottoms feature large hand pockets with zipper closures and a handy D-ring.

Stow Series jackets are available in Coastal Blue, Black and Light Brown. Pants come in universally matched Black and Light Brown.

Sizes span from S to 3XL. And, the Stow Series is backed by an impressive 2-year warranty.

Wear it. Stow it. Stay dry. That’s how Frabill fishes.

Lew’s Tournament MB Speed Spool Review By Walker Smith

Lew’s Tournament MB Speed Spool Review

Walker SmithEditor

After months of testing, we’ve found this bass fishing reel to have excellent casting distance, a strong drag system and a comfortable, ergonomic design.

I’ve become a staunch believer in high-performance bass fishing reels over the years. I used to be fairly indiscriminate about my purchases, but after a bunch of lost fish, stripped gears and locked-up bearings, I started to get a little more serious about my reel selection.

For the last several months, I had been hearing some really good stuff about the Lew’s Tournament MB Speed Spool Casting Reel. You name it; long casts, killer drag, easy line management—I’ve heard it all about this particular reel. So of course, I felt compelled to get my hands on one to see what all of the fuss was about.

After using this reel for the better part of three months, I’ve learned a lot about its various performance aspects. There are several things you should know about it.

  • Effortless casting
  • Great drag system
  • Oversized handle knobs
