2023 Phantom Outdoors Open Series – Carolina Anglers Team Trail (cattteamtrail.com)
CULLMAN, Ala. (March 15, 2023) – The Major League Fishing (MLF) Toyota Series Presented by Phoenix Boats is set to visit Lewis Smith Lake in Cullman, Alabama, next week, March 21-23, for the second event of the season in the Toyota Series Central Division – the Toyota Series at Lewis Smith Lake . The three-day tournament, hosted by the Cullman County Tourism Bureau, will feature a roster of the region’s best bass-fishing pros and Strike King co-anglers competing for a top prize of up to $100,000 in the pro division and a new Phoenix 518 Pro boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard motor in the co-angler division.
“This is going to be an awesome tournament,” said local Bass Pro Tour pro Jesse Wiggins of Cullman, Alabama. “You’re going to see a ton of fish caught – I’m talking 30, 40, 50 a day. The key is going to be finding the areas that are holding the big prespawn fish.
“I think some fish will be spawning, and I think some fish will be LiveScope fish – you’re definitely going to see both patterns in this event,” Wiggins continued. “If I was fishing this one, I’d have a shaky-head rig tied on, and I think a small swimbait is going to be a big player as well.”
When asked if he expected the largemouth bass to be a player in this event, Wiggins said they could be.
“The largemouth could definitely be a factor – if they are, it will be spawning,” Wiggins said. “The water level is very low right now, and most of the bushes are not in the water.
“I think it’ll take 12 pounds a day average in order to cash a check,” Wiggins went on to say. “To win, it’ll take 15 to 16 a day. I think the winner is going to need to have right around 45 to 48 pounds.”
Anglers will take off each day at 7 a.m. CT from Smith Lake Park, located at 403 County Road 386, in Cullman. Weigh-ins will also be held at the park and will begin at 3 p.m. Fans are welcome to attend and encouraged to follow the event online through the “MLF Live” weigh-in broadcasts and daily coverage at MajorLeagueFishing.com.
In Toyota Series regular-season competition, payouts are based on the number of participants competing in the event, scaling up for every 20 boats over 160 and scaling down for every boat below 160. With a 160-boat field, pros fish for a top prize of $40,000, plus an extra $35,000 if Phoenix MLF Bonus qualified. Strike King co-anglers cast for the top prize of a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard (valued at $33,500). With a 260-boat field, pros fish for a top award of $65,000, plus an extra $35,000 if Phoenix MLF Bonus qualified. Strike King co-anglers cast for the top prize of a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower outboard (valued at $33,500) plus $5,000 cash.
The 2023 Toyota Series Presented by Phoenix Boats consists of six divisions – Central, Northern, Plains, Southern, Southwestern and the Western Division Presented by Tackle Warehouse – each holding three regular-season events, along with the International and Wild Card divisions. Anglers who fish in any of the six divisions or the Wild Card division and finish in the top 25 will qualify for the no-entry-fee Toyota Series Championship for a shot at winning up to $235,000 and a qualification to REDCREST 2024. The winning Strike King co-angler at the championship earns a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard. The 2023 Toyota Series Championship will be held Nov. 2-4 on Table Rock Lake in Branson, Missouri, and is hosted by ExploreBranson.com.

Bassmaster panel upholds Smith’s Eufaula disqualification
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — B.A.S.S. officials announced today that, after an extensive investigation and appeals process, Tucker Smith’s Day 2 catch disqualification from the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Lake Eufaula has been upheld. Smith finished in seventh place.
The disqualification was handed down based on a violation of the Angler Code of Conduct (Section 7 of the Bassmaster Opens Series rules) which lists among the examples of unacceptable behavior by competitors in B.A.S.S. events: “Interfering with a fellow angler’s ability to compete.”
Smith’s appeal was heard today by a three-person panel which included an Elite Series angler and a Bassmaster Opens angler — neither of whom competed in the 2023 Eufaula Open — and a B.A.S.S. employee who is not part of the Tournaments Department.

| Gussy Readies for the Bassmaster Classic |
| Bagley/Northland Fishing Tackle Pro Jeff “Gussy” Gustafson gives us the scoop on fishing his former winning waters. |
| BEMIDJI, Minn. (March 15, 2023) – Bassmaster Classic qualifiers will soon hit the water on the famed Tennessee River out of Knoxville, Tennessee. Among them will be Bagley/Northland Fishing Tackle Bass Elite Series pro angler Jeff Gustafson of Keewatin, Ontario.Gussy’s no stranger to these waters, which has him super amped. In March of 2021, Gussy went wire-to-wire on the Tennessee River for his first Bassmaster Elite Series victory with all deep-water smallmouth bass when other anglers focused on largemouths. |
| “We start practicing end of this week, and I’m super-excited to be back on winning waters,” says Gussy. “It’s a great break from Ontario’s ice, that’s for sure.” Gussy recalls: “In 2021 I caught 20 smallies over the four-day event, which people said couldn’t be done because they must be 18-inches to keep on the Tennessee River. The win was surprising considering I had a tough practice—only catching two or three keepers—and then on the last day found a bunch of fish, so that’s where I started the event. And the area turned out a lot better than I thought. All my fish were caught in 18- to 22-feet of water ‘moping’ a soft-plastic minnow on a jig head 2- to 5-feet off the rocky bottom.” |
| Moping In-a-Nutshell“Fished vertically right under Humminbird MEGA Live set to Down Mode, I’m trying to mimic a wounded or dying shad or baitfish. I typically hold the bait 2- to 5-feet off the bottom. When I fished the Tennessee River in 2021 there were clusters of little rock piles and a little bit of current that would slide me over the structure. Back then I was using 2D Sonar only, and when I’d see a fish come up to the bait, I’d shake it or lift it up a bit. The main key is to always keep the bait above the fish; that’s the trigger. I use 10-pound braid tied to a 10-pound fluorocarbon leader on a medium-power spinning rod,” explains Gussy. |
| The Right Jigs for Moping & More“Northland’s Mimic Jig has been around forever and was the first realistic minnow-looking jig-head I ever fished, so it’s been part of my arsenal for a long time. And now it’s been re-introduced for 2023 with an improved, super-sharp Gamakatsu hook and some new colors. It’s perfect for moping; lifelike head, sharp hook, and 90-degree eye to keep the bait horizontal,” notes Gussy.“I’m also excited about Northland’s Mimic Swim Jig with its 60-degree eye and a little heavier hook for fishing areas where you need to upsize your swimbait. I’m going to have the Mimic Swim Jig tied up on deck during the Classic. Beyond that, I think it’s going to be a real fish-catcher the entire season all over the U.S. and Canada—multi-species, too,” continues Gussy. |
| Crankin’ the Classic“I’ll be covering water with the Bagley Sunny B, which is my personal favorite crankbait. It’s the perfect, prespawn, cold-water crank. It has a thinner profile, great action, and seems to catch fish in water temps below 55-degrees,” notes Gussy.“The Sunny B runs 6- to 8-feet, which is often ‘the zone’, but I’ll also keep a couple rods on deck rigged with the Shallow Sunny B 05, which runs 2- to 4-feet, both cranks in Bagley’s bright red ‘Cooked Crawdad’ pattern and various shad imitators. I plan to alternate throwing each on 12-pound fluorocarbon with a medium-power rod and 7:1 gear ratio baitcasting reel,” offers Gussy. |
| Sunny B CrankbaitBagley introduced the Sunny B in 2015. Made using the exclusive Heat Compression Molding (HCM) manufacturing process, this uniquely shaped baitfish lure is precision balanced to cast easily and run true, whether retrieved fast or slow, with eye-popping vibration. It also provides maximum action when twitched – just like a baitfish darting to escape a bass. The Sunny B is available in size 5 at 2 inches long and 3/8 ounce with a diving depth of 6 to 7 feet. There are 22 bass-catching colors to choose from. “It has a small profile which is deadly on smallies,” says Gustafson. “On any smallmouth waters the Sunny B just excels. In waters with crawfish, I like to mimic those patterns. If I’m in a position where the forage is some kind of shad, perch, or bluegills, Bagley also has colors that mimic those as well. It’s been a good fish-catcher for me. It’s just perfect for that 5- to 8-foot depth range and it doesn’t get snagged,” says Gustafson. |
| Parting WordsTake Gussy’s recommendations and you’ll be on your way to more brown bass this spring. From the Bagley Sunny B to the new Northland Mimic Jig and Mimic Swim Jig, all are designed to catch more bass—largemouths, smallmouths, and spots. |

Tennessee’s Chickamauga Lake will host the Yamaha Rightwaters Bassmaster Kayak Series Championship powered by TourneyX March 22-23, 2023.

Bassmaster Kayak Series championship to be decided on Chickamauga
Dayton, Tenn. — A prespawn bonanza is on tap for the 2023 Yamaha Rightwaters Bassmaster Kayak Series Championship at Chickamauga Lake powered by TourneyX, and while the lake can be tough, Tennessee native Jordan Marshall believes big bass will be caught.
“If we can get some nice warm weather, there will be a lot of prespawn bass,” Marshall said. “There’s a lot of moving parts to Chickamauga. It is hard to pin down a pattern. There are quality fish there, and you will run into them eventually, it is just about landing them and capitalizing.
“If we are putting numbers on big bass, I’m going to say it is going to be 24 inches or more. It can happen on any cast.”
One of the hottest big bass lakes in the country over the past several years, Chickamauga — one of the Bill Dance Signature Lakes — stretches about 60 miles through the east Tennessee hills, providing plenty of opportunities for anglers to spread out.
The Kayak Series Championship kicks off Classic week, with tournament days scheduled for March 22 and 23. The winner will be announced in Knoxville on the stage of the 2023 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Toyota prior to the Day 1 Classic weigh-in.
Marshall, a Hobie Bass Open Series Angler of the Year, lives in Knoxville and has extensive experience on Chickamauga, including a Tennessee B.A.S.S. Nation state championship victory that earned him his spot in the championship.
Consistency will be key in this event. While Chickamauga kicks out giant bass almost daily, it can be difficult to find a consistent bite from day to day.
“You are going to have to do a lot of stuff to figure out the bite,” Marshall said. “You can fish for seven hours and not get any bites and then in a 30-minute window you have everything that needs to happen to figure out something. Those fish are so strange on that lake, it is an interesting puzzle to put together.
“There will be a lot of boats. It is absurd. There is not a place on this planet that gets as much pressure as Chickamauga year in and year out.”
Nice weather could send the bass into a full prespawn pattern, and Marshall said he will likely be exploring both the main lake and the creeks and backwaters. He noted that water clarity will be much cleaner than a lot of anglers will anticipate going into the event.
While smallmouth and spotted bass both inhabit the lake, Marshall said largemouth will almost certainly be the key species.
“If you told me someone had a full-blown limit of smallmouth, I would be impressed,” Marshall said. “But I don’t think a whole limit of smallmouth is an option. I don’t think it is something consistent.”
The lake will also still be at winter pool, barring a weather system that brings heavy rains to the region — and that will mean less cover on the lake. Deep docks, select laydowns and clean rock will be key items to target.
“The vast majority of the lake will be a player,” Marshall said. “Guys can win the tournament up at the Watts Bar Dam or down at the Chickamauga Dam. If we get a little bit of rain and then some sunny days, any creek on the lake could be a winning or competitive spot.
“There is a lot of rock in that lake, it’s just finding rocks that have a hard bottom around them.”
Lures will largely be determined by the weather, Marshall said.
“If we get some solid weather, it could be plenty of moving baits. If it is cold, a jerkbait could be a big player,” Marshall said. “March on the Tennessee River, the first thing I think of is throwing a crankbait. That kind of gets everyone catching fish and it could be a really competitive tournament.
“Regardless of weather, I would imagine a Rat-L-Trap in some form (will play).”
While Marshall notes Chickamauga hasn’t fished as well lately as in years past, a mega-bag is possible at any point in time.
The event will follow a catch-measure-release format. The live leaderboard can be found on Bassmaster.com throughout the tournament.
The event is being hosted by Rhea Economic & Tourism Council and Fish Dayton.
5 Alive Team Trail/ Caswell Glass Heritage Trail
NC Marine Sales Qualifier #1 Hyco Lake
