Looking back

When Valerie and I signed up to fish Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Northern Open at Oneida Lake, I wasn’t sure how it would play out. She loves to come to these tournaments when I’m fishing them.

Monroe ups the ante

East winds slowed Elite pro Ish Monroe but couldn't stop him from increasing his lead to nearly four pounds.

Oneida presents advantages

Elite anglers fishing the Northern Open on Oneida might take some lessons when the Elite visit the lake next summer.

How-To

Think shallow

September has been a crazy month. It’s usually pretty warm, but this year the weather has been unusually cool, especially the nights. That means the smallmouth are shallower than normal.

Gear

Daiwa’s T-Wing reels go long

Daiwa claims these reels cut back on backlashes and reduce friction when casting thanks to a “T”-shaped line guide aperture.

Teaming up with the Lions

I recently agreed to participate in an upcoming charity bass event that already has become a big thrill for me and my family.

Surprised myself

Valerie surprised herself, casting the entire rainy day and equaling her dad's weight.
