Three Elite Series Anglers Out For Rest Of 2021 Season

Three Elite Series Anglers Out For Rest Of 2021 Season

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The field for the final two Bassmaster Elite Series events is down to 95 anglers after Clent Davis, Rick Morris and Brett Preuett have withdrawn for the remainder of the 2021 season. The Guaranteed Rate Bassmaster Elite at Lake Champlain will be held July 8-11 and the Elite Series rounds out the year at the Farmers Insurance Bassmaster Elite at St. Lawrence River July 15-18.

Davis, of Montevallo, Ala., will take a medical hardship after learning that his right shoulder — which was originally injured in the off-season and has been bothering him intermittently throughout 2021 — requires surgery. Davis left the Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk in Fort Worth, Texas, after failing to make the Championship Sunday cut and drove home to have his ailing shoulder assessed by Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Center, which is known for treating professional athletes and high-profile college football players among others.

“I found out Friday my labrum is torn, and they said my bicep is detached. I found out Monday they’re going to have to go in and surgically anchor all that stuff back in,” said Davis, who will take a medical hardship for the remainder of the 2021 Elite Series season. “Then it’s six weeks in a sling and six months of rehab. I will start therapy the next day after surgery.”

Davis plans to fish the 2022 season, with hopes of returning to the upper echelons of the Bassmaster Angler of the Year point standings, through which he qualified for the past two Classics.

“I will be back next year,” he said. “I’m pretty sure by the time I get done with all this, I’ll be happy to go fishing.”

Morris was one of the original members of the Elite Series in 2006 and has fished 274 B.A.S.S. events. The pro from Virginia Beach, Va., had hip replacement surgery after the 2019 season and said he has been dealing with health issues that will force him to also take a medical hardship.

“It’s really hard for me to not fish the Elites,” Morris said. “For me to make this decision, I had some serious situations to deal with.

“I love the Bassmaster Elite Series, but your physical condition has to be top-notch to be able to do this.”

The six-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier will not return for the 2022 Elite Series season. In the next six months, Morris will have tests run in order to return to full health. Morris, who loves to teach bass fishing, hopes to guide back home in Virginia as much as he can, and he plans to return to competition at some point.

Preuett, of Monroe, La., will also miss the Lake Champlain and St. Lawrence River events. After five seasons on the Elites, Preuett has decided to step away and reset his career.

“I’ve got some really good things going on my ranch at home, but it just takes time,” Preuett said. “I haven’t been fishing free with everything else going on at home, and I just have to get back to that like I did when I was in college.”

Preuett said he plans to get things well-situated at home then attempt a return to the Elites.

“I’ve been living my dream for the last five years,” he said. “I’m not going to let this hold me back. I just want to come back as a better angler all around — mentally, financially and even as an angler itself.”

Preuett plans on fishing all of the Basspro.com Bassmaster Opens in 2022 in a bid to requalify for the Elite Series.

The 2021 Elite Series was set to begin with 101 anglers, but Jesse Tacoronte took a medical hardship because of neck surgery before the first tournament, Gary Clouse took a hardship with debilitating pain in his back and shoulder and Tyler Carriere exited to tend to family matters.

Z-Man Hires Industry Veteran To Marketing/Media Relations Role

Z-Man Hires Industry Veteran To Marketing/Media Relations Role

This past week, Z-Man announced the appointment of Cory Schmidt as the company’s new Marketing/Media Relations Manager. Schmidt, a fishing industry veteran of over 30-years, will take charge of all Z-Man communications and will serve as the manufacturer’s primary media contact. By all accounts, this is a role that Schmidt should have no problem fulfilling.

Cory Schmidt began his career in the outdoor retail sector, while also contributing to several fishing publications, such as In-Fishermen. Ironically, he would later go on to serve as field editor of the same publication for more than 20-years. Schmidt also has credits in Bassmaster, North American Fisherman, and Field & Stream.

“I’ve always believed that when you surround yourself with good people, good things happen,” said Daniel Nussbaum, Z-Man President. “Cory is a smart, solid guy who fits right in with the Z-Man culture. He just ‘gets it’ when it comes to the fishing industry and the benefits of Z-Man’s products, namely our ElaZtech soft baits.”

Schmidt himself seems quite eager to step into his new role with Z-Man, a company with which he has worked closely on past projects. “My friend and colleague Ned Kehde introduced me to the Z-Man folks and their baits a number of years ago,” recalled Schmidt. “Right away, I liked Z-Man’s people and its culture. They were doing things differently, approaching the lure business with a refreshing perspective. Of course, the baits caught fish.”

From the casual observer’s perspective, this appointment seems to make sense for Z-Man. The company already has quite a social media following, which continues to grow with each passing year. To say the least, one can only expect this trend to continue moving forward.

HOBIE B.O.S. ANCHORED BY POWER POLE HEADS TO LAKE CHAMPLAIN

HOBIE B.O.S. ANCHORED BY POWER POLE HEADS TO LAKE CHAMPLAIN

 

HOBIE B.O.S. ANCHORED BY POWER POLE HEADS TO LAKE CHAMPLAIN

World-class smallmouth and largemouth await competitors on one of U.S.A.’s most prestigious bass fisheries.

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (June 22, 2021) – The Hobie Bass Open Series (B.O.S.) Anchored By Power-Pole® rolls into Ticonderoga, New York, June 26 and 27 with competitors anxiously awaiting a shot at the world-famous black bass fishery on expansive Lake Champlain. For many bass fans, this massive waterway is a bucket-list destination that also features superb action with lake trout, salmon and a variety of other fun-to-catch species.

“After years of heavy demand for us to bring an event to the Northeast, we finally landed a destination that’s hard to beat,” says an enthusiastic A.J. McWhorter, tournament director for the two-day, catch, photograph and release (CPR) event. “This is a storied fishery with truly great bassin’ potential. We can’t wait to see what this part of the country will showcase in terms of both it’s fishing productivity and generating new anglers for our tournament trail. This lake shares a border with Vermont, but we’ll be doing all of our launching from the New York side and competitors will have vast areas to cover and explore in their search for the big ones.”

Make no mistake about it, Lake Champlain bass fishing is top shelf. With nearly 600 miles of shoreline, 435 square miles of surface area and a maximum depth of roughly 400 feet, you’ll find bass habitat of every type ranging from weed beds and shoreline brush in shallow sections of the many bays and coves to man-made structure like bridges and pilings. Farther off the bank, an abundance of rock piles and natural ledges can be found as you progress out to more open water or explore long, sloping points. As a rule, oft broken, the lake’s largemouths tend to favor the flats and near-shore sections while the bronzebacks roam a little deeper – but the two species do co-mingle in some areas and it’s likely that many competitors will check in with mixed-bag limits at the end of each day.

“I’m predicting it will take more than 190 inches of bass to win this event,” says Brian Baulsir, 38, of Saratoga Springs, New York, who is no stranger to these waters. “The bass here are big and fat because the lake holds huge schools of northern baitfish like yellow perch, smelt and alewives. It’s chock-full of 15-to-18-inch fish, plus a fair number that can top 20 inches as well. My best largemouth on this lake is a 6-pounder taken off Crown Point that was absolutely stuffed to the gills with baitfish. My best smallmouth here measured 19.75 inches, but a 20-inch bronzeback is a possibility anywhere you launch.”

Baulsir advisers first-timers at Lake Champlain to narrow their focus. “This is big water and while there are a lot of places that look real enticing on a map, once you push off the bank you’ll be awed by how much area there is to cover. Find the structure or water type that matches your strengths and concentrate on a specific area. Roaming too far here can really eat up your time.”

Baulsir, who became a father on June 14 (wife, Erin, and son, Clayton, are doing fine) plans to probe mostly shallow water during this contest. In addition to an arsenal that plays to their own strengths, he suggests anglers bring along weedless frogs for working the bank and thick vegetation, a walk-the-dog-style surface lure for open patches, and a drop-shot rig to probe deeper water. “I’ll be bringing along my favorite St. Croix rods because they are so sensitive and strong,” he says. “My favorite is a 7-foot, 1-inch, medium-fast action Mojo Bass (#MJS71MF) spinning stick that I love for working drop-shot rigs on light lines.”

While Baulsir has experience fishing Lake Champlain, Kurt Smits, 50, from Cincinnati, Ohio will be seeing these legendary waters for the first time. “I can’t wait to get there,” he says. “I’ve got friends who have fished it and they tell me it’s clean and clear. It’s a destination I’ve long wanted to hit and I plan to hit it hard.”

Smits already has a few places picked out where he expects to find a mix of bigmouths and smallmouths. He intends to key on largemouth early, possibly switching over to bronzebacks in slightly deeper water later in the day. “I’ll probably try flipping vegetation for bigmouths both mornings, then move a little deeper for smallmouths in the afternoons,” he offers. “I’ll be throwing small swimbaits and a big TRD. I’m hoping for some overcast skies but no rain. I’ll be using my Hobie PA 12 with 360 Drive. I think it’s going to give me a real edge on this lake because it’s so easy to maneuver and keep in place. It’s like fishing with ‘spot-lock’ capability when it comes to staying on a selected piece of structure or a school of suspended bass. It should be perfect for working long, sloping points that offer both shallow water and deeper areas in close proximity.”

In addition to substantial cash prizes, competitors at Lake Champlain will have plenty more on the line. The top three non-qualified anglers will punch their ticket to the Hobie Tournament of Champions (T.O.C.) at Lake Eufaula, Alabama, November 12 – 14. All-important points toward Angler of the Year (A.O.Y.) presented by FarWide, the Outdoor Access App, will be distributed to the top 100 competitors, and the largest bass of the two-day tournament will earn a $400 check for the Bassin’ Big Bass Award. Also up for grabs is the Dakota Lithium Power Move award, which recognizes the angler with the greatest leap up the leader board from Day 1 to Day 2. That prize is a Dakota Power Box with a 10-amp lithium battery.

“It’s going to be a ton of fun to fish here and check out the surrounding communities,” sums up Baulsir. “I can guarantee you are going to see plenty of fish on your electronics. As always, the key is going to come down to who figures them out and makes the most of their opportunities. You’ll have plenty of chances.”

In terms of the surrounding communities, Matthew Courtright, president and CEO of the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, assures that competitors are always welcome. “We love anglers here and annually host between 30 and 40 tournaments. We’re very much looking forward to hosting this Hobie Bass Open Series (B.O.S.) Anchored By Power-Pole®  event,” he says.  “Lake Champlain offers some of the best freshwater fishing in the nation and we can’t wait for you to enjoy it. Our Chamber serves five towns, Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Hague, Moriah, and Putnam, NY., and we are perfectly positioned between Lake Champlain and Lake George. In addition to the great fishing, you’ll find historical sites, scenic vistas, restaurants, arts, retail shopping, plus plenty of hiking, biking and walking trails. Bring the family and stay around a few days after the tournament. You’ll have a great time.”
