Another bass season opener is upon us in Michigan, and everything is as it should be. The weather has finally stabilized, making the opener a great day. Most of the northern lakes have seen the bass begin to spawn, or move toward the shallows. I have been able to enjoy great fishing so far this year, despite the unusually windy spring.
So far this year I have had the opportunity to fish with some great people. Dan Potter, Vicious Fishing rep has joined me on numerous occasions to test Vicious lines. We have enjoyed putting the product through intense examinations, and have yet to experience any problems. If you haven’t had the opportunity to try Vicious line, I encourage you to do so. Not only will you be extremely satisfied with the quality and durability, you will really like how much further your dollar goes. Vicious fluorocarbon sells four about half the price of the competition, and catches just as many fish.
Also this Spring I had the opportunity to fish with Fishing 411 television host Mark Romanack. Mark and I targeted some fish on St. Clair with crankbaits. Our trip was filmed and will be part of his 2010 programming lineup on The Sportsman’s Channel. It was an honor to fish with someone of his caliber, and to share a few tips and sponsor products with the 20 million or so viewers.
In other news, I am excited to announce another sponsor partner for 2009. As of May 21, I will be working with Strike King as a pro staffer. I am honored by their interest in me, and am looking forward to a long relationship with them. Not only are they one of the largest and most well known tackle manufacturers in the world, but they are also on the cutting edge. Check out their products including new tackle for 2009 at www.strikeking.com.
July will see us on the water a lot. I will be helping the Lady Bass Anglers with their annual charity tournament, as well as Scotty “Bud” Melvin for his event at Gull Lake. All the details of these events are on the Tournaments Page. Check them out, both are for a great cause, and pay back well.
Stay tuned, there is plenty of new and exciting things happening, and I will keep you updated as best I can.
