Today's Top 6

1. Hook shots!

Some truly horrible ones kicking around, these were a few I could take:


Here's the young dude who won the B.A.S.S. Collegiate thing. Sucker is BURIED. Kept right on castin' = stout!

2. Chapman vs Scanlon Warhead challenge.

Take THAT Dre yo!

3. I wouldn’t trade her for any body of water on this earth.

Mike Iaconelli talkin' 'bout the Delaware River, which he grew up fishing. Not implying anything, but that statement reminded me of this pic:

Hahaha just kiddin' Ike!

4. It doesn’t know what forgiveness means.

Eliter Charlie Hartley talkin' 'bout Gollum's ring the Delaware River, where an area can be hot for 10 minutes then dead for 12 hours.

5. Is St. Clair coming back?

Remember all the Elites shunned St. Clair in favor of Erie lat year cuz of skinny bass. Last weekend a BFL there was won with 21-02, and the top 8 had more than 19 lbs.

Btw, winner Randy Ramsey caught 'em fishing thicker weeds in 15-16' on small dips in the bottom, using a Poor Boys Baits Erie Darter on a Texas rig and a dropshot, and a tube on a 3/8-oz jighead.

One mo: Here's a pic of a mother/daughter team that won a recent derby on St. Clair. That cool or what?

6. How awesome is Clay Dyer?

Haha watch this!

Tip of the Day

BP: Grassline baits.

> Frog – “When I’m just starting to search for a grassline bite, I’m going to have a frog tied on at all times. I’m able to cover a bunch of water efficiently and draw reaction strikes…. Because it’s such a weedless approach, I can quickly discern where they’re positioned…."

> Squarebill – “If I know they’re on the grasslines, I love paralleling ‘em with a Series 3 or 5 Storm Arashi Rattling Squarebill…in the late summer you can burn this crankbait as fast as you can in these areas for some ridiculous strikes."


> Pitch/flip – “On sunny days or when the bass are relating to thicker clumps of grass near the edges, I catch a lot of big ones on a Texas rigged Berkley Havoc Pit Boss…. I fish it very quickly by making a pitch, shaking it three or four times after hitting the bottom, reeling it in and repeating the process."

> Dropshot – “In clear, shallow water, it can be tough to catch grassline bass with loud, overpowering techniques. If I see ‘em following my other baits without committing, I’ll flip a dropshot to them."

Here BP runs down the whys behind the new Storm Arashi colors:

Quote of the Day

Seriously Dave? Fartlek? Really?

– Edwin Evers in the Bassmaster TV feature 6 seconds with Dave "ain't right" Mercer. Dave asked EE and other pros about "fartlekking." B.A.S.S. defined it as "running" but it's really a Swedish word for "speed play," a type of training. EE was aghast…my kids loved it.

Little-known fact: Any one of the B.A.S.S. media peeps, whether in front of the camera or behind it, coulda come up with that nuttiness. That's how it his out there on the road. Reminds me of this album cover:
