Prototypically pumped!
Strike King and I have been working together on four new baits for 2013, and three of them could be real factors in the Classic.
Give your boat a little holiday love
The pre-Christmas period is a good time to give your boat attention before winter sets in.
No Classic pre-practice for me
Several Bassmaster Classic qualifiers are headed to Grand Lake this week before the off-limits period, but I decided to stay home. Practicing works for a lot of guys, especially those who have never been there. I tend to shy away from visiting these lakes too far ahead of the tournament. I’ve fished Grand many times, so I know it pretty well. But it makes sense for guys like my nephew, Jonathon, who has never seen the lake and will benefit from getting a look at what’s there.
Thinkin' about bucks
This is a big week for me and it has nothing to do with fishing. Thursday was the opener of our deer firearms season and the bucks are chasing does. Although it’s the gun season, you can still hunt with a bow, something I really love. I went with my sons a few times during the early archery season. We saw some deer but didn’t take a shot. We’re not seeing the deer we saw a few years ago. Our numbers are down here in southern Michigan due to the EHD virus that has hit us the past couple of years.

Staying busy in ‘offseason’
It may be the fall fishing season but it’s also a time when Elite Series pros are busy working with sponsors.
Hooked on St. Clair smallies
With all due respect to the great fishing in the South, there is nothing I like better than fishing for smallmouth in Michigan this time of year.
