Hi Chad, Gary is right, you may want a 703 or 743 spinning rod from Dobyns if you want to do all of those things listed. I'd personally get the 742 Champion Extreme if I was just going to get one rod (as explained below). Both the 703 and 743 are great rods and really, really handle the 5 or 6 inch ...

Not only do we have some of the best weather and spotted bass fishing in Nor Cal (Bullards, Folsom, Shasta, etc.) but our smallie fisheries are highly underrated as well. Pretty hard to beat Trinity, Almanor or Pardee. Here was an article I wrote on Western Bass a few years ago on Trinity. A bit of ...

Had some vacation to use up and some off time in the tourney schedule so I hit 5 different Nor Cal lakes in 10 days with my wife and a couple of buddies. Great times. We are so fortunate to have the fisheries we have all around us ... Trinity, Shasta, Folsom, Berryessa and Clear Lake. Here are some ...

Good God, man! Those are some bloated, ginormous, behemoth bucketmouths. And I was all excited to be catching 3 & 4 pound spots and smallies. http://www.westernbass.com/forum/after-oroville-and-shasta-was-fun-whack-spots-less-traditional-tourney-waters-t101053.html Hmph. On to Clear Lake it is.

This last weekend was the first one in some time that I was not sick, fishing or emceeing a derby on Oroville or Shasta. It was sure a blast to get out on our home lake (Rattlesnake Bar is open and 4 miles from the driveway) and catch some fish that aren't 1.2 to 1.9 lbs! Rumor has it the Wild West ...

Good luck guys!

I couldn't have had more fun making a bone-headed decision! (Day 2 battery issues). No, in all seriousness, FLW puts on a GREAT event. It was a true pleasure to fish up there with them. Also, if my co-anglers, Derek Gray of the Bay Area and Chris Rhoden of So-Cal are any indication at all, the futur...

A huge thank you to Jeremy, Gary, Jason and the rest of the Wild West Bass Team. With 98 boats in low water conditions, things went remarkably smoothly. The added touch of paying for two extra entry fees to make sure the inaugural derby reached 100 boats is nothing less than first class. I had a bla...

Received a text from a good buddy today. This is the kind of guy who will pre-fish for 4 or 5 days straight before a typical Pro-Am event. And if he can't, he won't fish. He is signed up for this weekend's WWBT Oroville team event. He said: This off limit's is awesome. I'm not all stressed out and d...

No Jason, I'm emceeing the NorCal Pro-Ams and fishing the teams. Donating to one circuit is plenty for me. And no 'Zona for me on 1/16, there are ducks to be shot!

Awesome. Just awesome.

Whenever I see the G-Man throw down some basstastic data like this I think of my favorite commercial and how it harkens back to one of Gary's oldest nicknames (yes, I'm narrow-casting here).

Twenty Pounds? I'm REALLY confused now.

Did WWBT go to a 12 fish limit when I wasn't looking? I thought it was only 7.

Hello Hollywood, The short answer is that the entry fee money for 2014 comes from Outdoor Heritage, Inc. We are setting it aside and have it in our budget for each subsequent year. The payout for 2014 is budged to be the same as in 2013. This is not a case where the tournament organization allows 20...

Rodger, I just want to reiterate that I think you are on the right track. Perhaps a few points of clarification would help here: 1) Camp Far has been one of the best places to get bit in the winter months the last few years. The bite has been stellar for at least two years now. I fished an event the...

I'd definitely be in as well. Totally concur with Ryan's comments on Bullards. Add it and make it in late April to the end of May (perhaps the last event). The fish are up then. And like any lake there are 5 or 6 favorite honey holes but we seem to catch them all over ~ especially that time of year....
