Salem, Va. – May 16, 2013 – John Crews’ special designed jersey worn during the month of April that features the interlocking puzzle pieces, a symbol for autism, is now up for auction. April is national Autism Awareness month, which is why Crews had the jersey made by Valley Fashions to wear during April. 100% of the auction price of the jersey will be donated to Autism Speaks, a national autism organization. Now, the jersey has been signed by Crews and is being auctioned on eBay at the link below:
Crews said, “The jersey has gotten a lot of interest and created a lot of positive feedback. The purpose of creating awareness for autism definitely was done. Now it is time to generate as much money as we can to donate to autism. Dave Mercer wants to start the bidding on the jersey so people will likely have to out bid him.” In addition to the jersey, Missile Baits will be donating $522.53 to the Commonwealth Autism Service. That organization helps train people on how to educate children with autism including schools such as Salem City Schools where Crews and his family live. This figure was calculated from a percent of all Missile Baits sales during the month of April. To round out the funds generated, ATS Printing donated 50 t-shirts to the cause. The shirts feature My Little Buddy’s Boat logo, which appropriately reads, “Fishin’ With a Mission.” The shirts are $20 each and can purchased through www.MissileBaits.com until they are gone. All proceeds from each shirt sale will go towards autism. Once the shirts are all sold, a donation of $1,000 will be made to The Autism Society. A number of shirts have already been sold so you better act quickly to get one and show your support.

Ask 100 anglers what their 3 favorite ways to fish a 7” straight tail worm are and you’ll find that ”on a Shakey head, Texas rigged and Carolina rigged” will be the majority rule. Each technique has a time and a place where one presentation will out-perform the other two based on the mood of the bass and how they want to be fed on a specific day. But look inside any tournament angler’s rod locker today and 99% of the time you’ll find a rod (or 2) designated specifically for Shakey head fishing. Why? Because Shakey head fishing is a serious producer, period. Bass love worms (always have and always will), but there’s something about that little tail dancing before their eyes that bass can’t seem to resist. And the 7” Tickler is the perfect match for a Shakey head. The bait itself is already neutrally buoyant which is key for Shakey heading, but the undercut tail design topped with its textured profile is like someone waving a mouthful of your favorite desert under your nose. It’s not a matter of “if” they’re going to bite it, it’s a matter of how long can they hold back before they inhale it.
We now have Football style Shakey heads on our website called Tick Shakes that are the perfect complement to the 7” Tickler. The heads boast a 5/0 Mustad hook which fits the worm perfectly and allows for plenty of bite when you drive that hook into a big bass’s mouth…a must for when you’re hauling in hogs! They’re available in Green Pumpkin or Black and come in 1/8 and 1/4 oz sizes. The powder coat paint is double baked for durability and you will NEVER find a blocked eyelet…it’s our guarantee.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — “Man, you’ve got me,” Brent Chapman said to Edwin Evers.
Evers was already in Sunday’s final-round hot seat of the Alabama River Charge presented by Star brite. Chapman, the leader for the two previous days, was the last of the 12 finalists to weigh in. He climbed the stage steps already knowing it was over for him.
No one in the crowd under Montgomery’s historic Union Station Train Shed heard Chapman’s remark on stage. But that’s how Evers later told the story.
“I didn’t realize until he said ‘you’ve got me’ that I had a chance,” Evers said after he’d hoisted the eighth trophy of his Bassmaster career and claimed his second regular-season Elite Series win. “I’m so happy. I can’t believe it.”
Evers of Talala, Okla., got the best of Chapman by 1 pound, 12 ounces. Evers took home $100,000 and a win-you’re-in berth for the 2014 Bassmaster Classic.
He took over the Charge by weighing four limits of spotted bass for a total of 75-13. The Charge was the first time, Evers said, that he’d won on spotted bass alone. He also hit a career high by weighing 22 pounds, 6 ounces of spotted bass on Saturday, the largest sack of that species he’s ever caught.
