Hot Weather and Wild Dogs Lead to Late Season Burnout

I left Champlain and headed for the PAA event at Lake Norman, close to home. At that point I’d already been gone from home 14 or 15 weeks out of the year and I was hitting what turned out to be a full-fledged case of summer burnout. Leaving the nice climate of New York for Charlotte, where every day was going to be 98 degrees or more, it’s tough to keep your chin up. Fortunately, Norman is a great tournament venue. It’s near a big city (Charlotte) so we were likely to have a lot of fans cheering us on. On top of that it’s a big lake, so you can run a pattern without finding people all over...

One Fish Can Really Cost You In A Tournament

It’s a real upgrade from the standard four stroke, particularly for people looking for exceptional speed and holeshot to go along with the fuel economy and environmental friendliness of a four stroke outboard.

It all started at Kentucky Lake, where the area that I fished last year and did real well around...

Yamaha was offering demo rides on the lake at the Bassmaster Classic for those wanting to see the performance of the new Yamaha VMAX SHO four stroke engine firsthand. I’d talk to people who had a lot of questions about the engine in the Yamaha booth every day at the Expo, and then send them down to the lake to take a test ride, and everyone who came back was just smiling and amazed at how well that engine performs. I’d see a lot of the guys who went on test rides later in the afternoon at the Yamaha socials they had at the restaurant, and just about...

Ride the Tide

By Joel Shangle Bassmaster.com STOCKTON, Calif. — After all the chatter about the schizophrenic water temperatures and 35-mile-per-hour winds, the one condition that most influenced the standings on Day One at the 2010 TroKar Duel in the Delta in Stockton was the one that's the most predictable: the tide. Yes, 53-degree morning water temperatures had something to do with the California Delta's largemouth population's willingness to bite. And, yes, three prior days of gusty winds influenced the water clarity. But for many of the 93 anglers who fared the best on this complex of sloughs, canals...
