Fish Monkey Gloves engages south-region rep group Mainstream Marketing 

Destin, FL (March 27, 2019) – Fishing is quite literally a hands-on sport. This fact alone helps explain the mega-success of Fish Monkey Gloves. “This past year, sales of our fishing gloves have been off the charts,” says Tim Mossberg, Fish Monkey founder and owner.

“It’s interesting because a lot of customers tell us their experiences with our gloves are so positive they quickly become standard fishing equipment. A little like a good pair of polarized glasses, Fish Monkey Gloves truly enhance your on-water performance.”

Mossberg reports that in its second year of operation, Fish Monkey has already expanded to over 600 doors in 16 countries; sales have grown by a staggering seventy-percent. Responding to his company’s explosive growth, Mossberg recently hired a seventh rep group—Mainstream Marketing— to help meet demand in the southern U.S.

“The Mainstream Marketing team will help support and expand our southern dealer network, focusing on accounts in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma,” said Mossberg. “Their expert staff owns valuable experience in our field and enjoys solid relationships with each of the key outdoor retailers in this region.”

Says Mike Haring of Mainstream Marketing: “We are excited to take on the Fish Monkey brand due to their broad selection of elite-quality fishing gloves. Their understanding of and commitment to exceptional marketing strategies make them a perfect fit for Mainstream Marketing.”

Further supporting the successful Fish Monkey Glove brand domestically and internationally are Alliance Sports Group (East and Gulf Coast), Can-Am Sales (Canada), Ferguson-Keller (North and Central), Glade Park (West and South FL), Tropical Vendors (Caribbean) and independent reps (Central and South America). Distributors of Fish Monkey Gloves include Big Rock Sports, Triple S, Sports Specialists, Robinson Wholesale, Farris Brothers, Pittman Creek and Folsom Distributing.

Fish Monkey’s new Free Style Glove has special non-fraying fingers that can be custom-cut by the anger.

To further support its dealers, Mossberg recently introduced striking new Fish Monkey retail displays. “Our new bass- and saltwater-themed ‘glove stations’ take the guesswork out of retailer SKU selection. We give them a pre-selected assortment of the best-selling styles and colors, such as our super popular Guide Gloves. The displays also give consumers an eye-catching one-stop-shop for the best fishing gloves on the market.”

Alliance Sports Group President Larry Easterwood speaks to Fish Monkey’s proactive strategies. “It’s not unusual to see a start-up company bring a great new line of products to market,” says Easterwood. “But it is unusual when a new company supports that product line with a smart, aggressive marketing program. That speaks directly to Fish Monkey’s success. Tim (Mossberg) has assembled a terrific product line along with retail fixtures and assortments that has been successful with virtually every dealer he has brought on board.”

“Fish Monkey is a very strong brand in the Midwest region,” reports Sean Kunzer, President of Ferguson-Keller Associates. “Initial feedback told us this was a saltwater-specific product. But we’ve since seen big strides in bass, ice fishing and other freshwater segments. Not only do the products look great while providing exceptional sun protection, but Fish Monkey gloves are also engineered to increase angler dexterity, stamina, and overall fishing performance. This level of craftsmanship gives our dealers a great brand to stand behind.”

With twenty different situation- and task-specific fishing gloves, as well as a brand-new sun-protective Face Guard, Fish Monkey crafts the world’s most comprehensive line of premium gloves for anglers. The newest Free Style Glove is the first completely customizable fishing glove, allowing anglers to trim finger-length to fit their preferences.

Bassmaster Elite Series Returning To South Carolina’s Historic Lake Hartwell

Bassmaster Elite Series Returning To South Carolina’s Historic Lake Hartwell

ANDERSON, S.C. — After serving three times in the past 11 years as the host venue for the GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods, Lake Hartwell is already firmly entrenched in professional bass fishing history.

Now it’s time to write the next chapter.

The Bassmaster Elite at Lake Hartwell is scheduled for April 4-7 with daily takeoffs from Green Pond Landing and Event Center in Anderson at 7 a.m. ET and weigh-ins back at Green Pond Landing at 3:15 p.m. A field of 75 anglers will compete for a $100,000 first-place prize and valuable points in the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year race.

South Carolina pro Brandon Cobb, who lives just 50 minutes from the launch, believes the spawn could be in full swing by the time the tournament starts.

“This year we’ve had some warm weather, but we’ve had more cold nights than we’ve ever had,” said Cobb, a Clemson graduate who has been fishing Hartwell his whole life. “So the fish are a little behind from what they were the last few years.

“If the weather holds stable like the forecast says, I think it’s going to be mostly a spawn tournament. I don’t think every fish will be on bed, but there will be a lot of sight fish caught.”

Cobb said a bed-fishing tournament could be good for the entire field because all of Hartwell’s 56,000 surface acres offer perfect habitat for the bass spawn. Even anglers who haven’t fished the lake much in the past should be able to find good five-fish limits.

That’ll make for a great overall tournament, but it could eliminate the hometown advantage he was looking forward to during a rare week when he’ll get to fish an Elite Series event while sleeping nights in his own bed.

“Basically, my local advantage is gone if they’re on bed,” Cobb said. “A place like the St. Johns River in Florida has key spawning areas. But on Lake Hartwell, they spawn everywhere. In general, all of Lake Hartwell is the same water temperature — and when they come up, they come up everywhere.”

Normally, when a major tournament visits Hartwell, anglers spend much of their time chasing nomadic bass that are following the lake’s famed population of blueback herring. But that isn’t likely to be the case during this event.

“The one time of year when herring don’t play a major factor is during this spawn,” Cobb said. “That changes things a lot and really makes this tournament wide open.”

Cobb stopped short of saying the event will be a “junk fishing tournament” — which means anglers would be fishing a wide variety of tactics without any solid technique rising to the forefront. But he said it could certainly be an event where anglers find bass in a lot of different places and catch them on a lot of different baits.

“You could fish a different part of the lake every day and still catch them,” Cobb said. “Hartwell just has so much to offer. It’ll all depend on who consistently finds the biggest bags.”

Though he expects lots of 18- to 20-pound limits to be weighed, Cobb said he doesn’t expect the winning angler to reach that mark all four days.

“With the nature of the bedding fish on Hartwell, I would feel really good about averaging 17 pounds a day,” he said. “You may have one day where you catch 20 pounds and then another day when you don’t really find them.

“That 17-pound consistency will basically be the key.”

This is the third event on the 2019 Bassmaster Elite Series schedule. After the first two events on Florida’s St. Johns River and Georgia’s Lake Lanier, Canadian pro Chris Johnston leads the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year standings with 190 points, followed by Alabama angler Scott Canterbury (182) and Texas pro Lee Livesay (181).

A full field of 75 anglers will fish Thursday and Friday before the field is cut to the Top 35 for Saturday’s semifinal round. Only the Top 10 will advance to Championship Sunday for a chance at the coveted blue trophy and the six-figure paycheck.

On Saturday and Sunday at Green Pond Landing, the Elite Expo will offer interactive exhibits, merchandise sales, prizes and contests, food and beverage vendors and activities for children. Fans can also meet the Elites at Angler Alley on Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. or participate in Elite Angler Clinics onstage at the same time. Saturday is also Military and First Responder Appreciation Day, and Sunday is B.A.S.S. Member Appreciation Day.

Visit Anderson is the host organization for the event.

FLW TOUR HEADS TO CHEROKEE LAKE FOR FIFTH EVENT OF SEASON

Jefferson City to Host Four-Day Bass Fishing Event Featuring Outdoor Expo and $125,000 Top Prize

[print_link]

JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. (March 28, 2019) – Fishing League Worldwide (FLW), the world’s largest tournament fishing organization,  is heading to Jefferson City to take on Cherokee Lake, April 11-14, for the FLW Tour at Cherokee Lake presented by Lowrance. Hosted by the Economic Development Alliance of Jefferson County, the tournament will feature four days of bass-fishing action from 165 of the world’s best bass-fishing professionals competing for a top award of up to $125,000 and valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2019 FLW Cup – the world championship of bass fishing.

Although Cherokee Lake has hosted multiple T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) events over the years, this event will mark the first time the FLW Tour has ever visited the fishery. The total purse for the FLW Tour at Cherokee Lake presented by Lowrance – the 215th event in FLW Tour history – is more than $860,000.

“Everybody knows you can go up the river to catch largemouth on Cherokee Lake. It’s got a decent population of largemouth, but I don’t think it can withstand the fishing pressure of a tournament of our size over four days,” said pro Jason Abram of Piney Flats, Tennessee, a 10-year FLW Tour veteran. “I think it’s going to take a mixed bag – largemouth and smallmouth – to win.

“The smallmouth population in Cherokee Lake is pretty strong still,” Abram continued. “It’s very possible that they could be bedding, although the TVA started dropping the water last week and that could hold them off. In my opinion, the majority of the anglers in the top 50 will likely be fishing for smallmouth.”

With both species of bass in play, it will be a crucial decision for tournament competitors. Abram said that smallmouth would likely be heavily targeted in staging areas – points and chunk rock – before moving in to spawn on pea-gravel banks. Abram expects the largemouth to also play a big role for anglers and predicted that the majority would be caught up the Holston River.

“These guys are used to running around flipping bushes and docks, but in East Tennessee, when the water is low, we don’t have that, Abram said. “We’re going to have to decipher what kind of rock and what depth of rock they are on.

“Someone is going to figure out how to catch a largemouth first thing, and then catch some smallmouth to fill out a limit. Or, they’re going to catch a limit of smallmouth and then go flipping or shallow-cranking for largemouth and catch that 4- or 5-pounder that puts them where they need to be,” Abram went on to say. “We’re just going to have to figure them out when we get there.”

The Tennessee pro estimated that a four-day cumulative weight of 58 pounds should be enough to earn the victory on Championship Sunday.

Anglers will take off at 7 a.m. EST each day from the TVA Dam Boat Launch, located at 2805 N. Highway 92, in Jefferson City. Thursday and Friday’s weigh-ins, April 11-12, will be held near the launch beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday’s weigh-ins, April 13-14, will also be held near the launch, but will begin at 4 p.m.

Prior to weigh-in each day, FLW will host a free Family Fishing Expo at the TVA Dam Boat Launch from 2 to 6 p.m. The Expo is a chance for fishing fans to meet their favorite anglers, enjoy interactive games, activities and giveaways provided by FLW sponsors, as well as learn more about the sport of fishing and other outdoor activities.

Also for youth, the FLW Foundation’s Unified Fishing Derby will be held at the TVA Dam Boat Launch on Saturday, April 13, from Noon-2 p.m. The event is hosted by FLW Foundation pro Cody Kelley along with other FLW Tour anglers, and is free and open to anyone under the age of 18 and Special Olympics athletes. Rods and reels are available for use, but youth are encouraged to bring their own if they own one. The 1st and 2nd place anglers that catch the most fish will be recognized Saturday on the FLW Tour stage, just prior to the pros weighing in.

Television coverage of the FLW Tour at Cherokee Lake presented by Lowrance will premiere in 2019. The exact air-date will be announced soon. The Emmy-nominated “FLW” television show airs each Saturday night at 7 p.m. EST and is broadcast to more than 63 million cable, satellite and telecommunications households in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean on the World Fishing Network (WFN), the leading entertainment destination and digital resource for anglers throughout North America. FLW television is also distributed internationally to FLW partner countries, including Canada, China, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Spain and South Africa.

The popular FLW Live on-the-water program will air on Days Three and Four of the event, featuring live action from the boats of the tournament’s top pros each day. Host Travis Moran will be joined by veteran FLW Tour pro Todd Hollowell to break down the extended action each day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. On-the-water broadcasts will be live streamed on FLWFishing.com, the FLW YouTube channel and the FLW Facebook page.

In FLW Tour competition, the full field of 165 pro anglers compete in the two-day opening round on Thursday and Friday. The top 30 pros based on their two-day accumulated weight advance to Saturday. Only the top 10 pros continue competition Sunday, with the winner determined by the heaviest accumulated weight from the four days of competition.

Throughout the season, anglers are also vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2019 FLW Cup, the world championship of professional bass fishing. The 2019 FLW Cup will be on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Aug. 9-11 and is hosted by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism and Visit Hot Springs.

David Walker Rides Jig, Spinnerbait to Top of Shotgun Round Two at  
Favorite Fishing Stage Three Raleigh Presented by Evinrude
[print_link]
RALEIGH, N.C. (March 27, 2019) – Heading into the second Shotgun Round of the Favorite Fishing Stage Three Raleigh presented by Evinrude, Major League Fishing® (MLF) Bass Pro Tour pro David Walker had a suspicion that the conditions on North Carolina’s Jordan Lake were setting up for his wheelhouse.
With dropping, dirty water and nighttime lows that dipped near the freezing level, the east Tennessee pro put his faith in two old-school techniques that he’s built a healthy professional living on: flipping a jig and winding a spinnerbait.
His faith in that 1-2 punch paid off as Walker flipped and wound his way to 47 pounds, 6 ounces on 15 fish to finish on top of the Group B Shotgun Round.
“I didn’t have much practice, so in that case, I’m going to fish the things that I have confidence in,” Walker said. “So I was fishing (baits) that I have confidence in from all the years past, not from practice.”
Walker did the majority of his damage early in the day, when the water was its coldest. Throwing a chartreuse-and-white spinnerbait and flipping a Moccasin Craw Z-Man CrossEyeZ jig with a BatwingZ trailer, the Evinrude pro stacked over 32 pounds on SCORETRACKER™ in the first period, weighing in 10 scorable largemouth.
David Walker’s 8-6 caught an hour into the competition anchored his total day’s weight of 47 pounds, 6 ounces for 15 bass to finish on top of Group B Shotgun Round.
He highlighted his day with an 8-6 an hour into the competition, the Berkley Big Bass of the day, and put himself in strong position heading into his Elimination Round on Falls Lake.
“This is a best-case scenario, because out of the two practice days, Falls was by far my worst,” Walker said. “I really struggled on Falls. So to have a good start going into that is very helpful, because if not I would have felt like I was behind trying to play catch-up on that lake. I’m not saying that I’m safe or that I’ve made it (out of Elimination), because in this format they just keep catching them. It’s relentless.”
Ott DeFoe finished second on the day with 44-1, followed by Casey Ashley (42-8), Brett Hite (42-0), Ish Monroe (40-1), Takahiro Omori (32-3) and Dustin Connell (30-15).
Change of Venue for Elimination Rounds
The field of 80 will carry their Group A and B Shotgun Round weights to Falls Lake tomorrow and Friday for the Elimination Rounds. That fishery – a 12,000-acre impoundment of the Neuse River located 30 minutes north of Raleigh – has hosted a handful of BLF events, and produced a handful of 8-plus-pounders in the first local/regional events of the year in early March.
Like Jordan, Falls is a river lake that holds an abundance of wood and rock, with fish in similar pre-spawn staging.
“Falls Lake is unique enough that guys will have to start over,” said MLF NOW! analyst Marty Stone, a veteran of the Raleigh-area fisheries. “Falls is going to be a little bit of the unknown; it’s been three days since these guys practiced there, and the conditions are changing by the day … heck, by the hour. Fish are coming to the bank. The bottom line is that we’re going to have another really good lake, these fish are going to be shallow, and they’re going to bite.”
The Top 20 anglers from each Elimination group will advance to the Knockout Round on Saturday (also on Falls, where weights will be zeroed). The Top 10 anglers in the Knockout Round will then advance to the Championship Round on Shearon Harris Reservoir, a 4,100-acre power plant lake that’s known for its population of 6-plus-pound largemouth.
 
How, When and Where to Watch
Competition begins daily at 7:30 a.m. EDT, with live, official scoring available via SCORETRACKER on MajorLeagueFishing.com and on the MLF app. The MLF NOW! live stream starts at 10 a.m. EDT, with live, on-the-water coverage continuing until lines out at 3:30 p.m. The Berkley Postgame Show live stream will start at 5 p.m. daily.

Two 11-Pound Bass In One Night (During A Tournament!)

[print_link]

This just in from KTXS Texas – A Texas angler recently broke bass fishing lake record twice in one night! George Trosper, a local tournament angler entered in a Thursday night derby hoping to catch 5 big ones but I highly doubt he expected to land two bass weighing over 11 pounds in one outing!

How It All Went Down

The first bass hit the scales at 11.03 pounds with the second big girl weighing in 11.15. In addition to shattering his own PB largemouth, George also crushed the standing lake record by over a pound with each fish.

The first fish bit a Senko style stick bait from a small Oklahoma company called Recon Custom Baits with the second big bass falling victim to a neon-colored crankbait custom made from Joe Stache Baits.

Some say that luck plays a major factor in fishing, especially when talking about record-setting fish. However, knowing where, when, and how to target fish in various stages and conditions is a keen skill.

Luck Or Skill?

Few people will understand the fishing patterns of a specific lake better than the local anglers who spend the most time fishing that body of water. Spending countless hours fishing, spotting, graphing an area will give these anglers an intimate understanding of how that ecosystem works and where Bass fall in.

With that being said, I’m pretty sure that these two behemoth bass can be chalked up to skilled angling and deep mixed in with maybe a small dash of luck.
