Smokie

Pretty proud of cashing a check in my first t.o.c. wasn't the big days i hoped for but I made it in and than cashed a check, so thats a pretty good deal. I fished all year solo exception of the last tourney so I think I would do even better with a pard in the future but i did it all by myself vs qui...

Smokie

Smokie

I buy mine every jan 1st outta habit since i've lived out west forever now, but I grew up where it was a year from the day you bought your license, like they say when they offer you the dang thing... I've always fe...

I've had quite a few different boats over my life and I think you really can't go wrong with a basscat, i ride an older 19ft pantera and I hit clear lake often with it and always am impressed with its ride... I had a bigger nitro and triton that didnt ride anywhere near as good as my cat, needless t...

Smokie

I plan on running my boat doing pro ams next year and I run a 19ft single console older basscat, I never put no thought into being a co without a sencond console and how much that could suck in the weather or in general not having a extra stash yer stuff spot down there, all the boats I got as a co ...

Smokie

Well the plan was to go figure out what the green dudes were gonna b up to, and I'm not so sure I learned enough to go win it next week when it counts, but I know more than I had if I didn't make the effort to practice and I feel alright about it to get the gremlins out my boat looking back. I was g...

Smokie

Ill make somebody laugh with this one... I went to visit some fam in the midwest right at the start of covid, and part of my vacation was spending two weeks on table rock lake... Day one I got there the army corp shut down all tournaments for the next four weeks solid, I didnt see a wrapped boat the...

Smokie

Smokie

I'm new to tourney fishing but am a lifelong fan of it, been watching bassmasters since I could walk and never remembered t.o.c.s having any sort of buy in type deal, but now that I'm fishing seriously almost all the major circuits here out west have a part where you qualify for the toc by buying in...

Smokie

i love this fall lipless bite where you get to burn it back with jerkbait style twitches over slow n low on the bottm, when they push up shallow its deadly like that... but as dave said as it gets colder it gets time to yo yo slower n slower n hang on cause it catches the big girls in the cold, i lo...

Smokie

ahh it comes down to right bait, on top of perfect presentation for the right set of circumstances in most competitive events, the better sticks i know have the skill to adapt as well as make the read on whats going on like an eagle... theres some days where all they'll bite is persay the senko, tha...

Smokie

Smokie

i fished the co side of the wild west on the columbia, ended up sticking the 3rd biggest fish on the co side for a big fish check and saw all those small mouth come outta there and lets just say ill be back very soon... big bags of brown dudes is wayyyy more fun than big sacks of green dudes all day...

Smokie

god bless amart... thats good to see him out there

Smokie

I took your advice and put it on basscat owners boards, hopefully I can find some advice b4 just going for it, but replacing my bunks with bigger lumber seems logical to fit right for the gap i need for the new axle, hopefully it is really that easy, Im due up for an easy problem. I was wondering di...

Smokie

any you guys ever seen a bigger hitch?

Smokie

Thanks to all building the APEX, this is great news to read... I was a really close friend of PJ's and just got into tournament fishing seriously, but been catching bass since I could walk. I was like ten and watched KVD get the quantum deal and I got me a bait caster and learned how to get with it ...

Smokie

Smokie

Congrats to the fellas making the cut, hopefully I can get with it and fish my way up there in '22 cause I'm gunning for it from here out... must fish clean to make it vs the best sticks in the wild wild west, but im not scared, im out to get with it... big ups to the guys who just made it and the m...

Smokie

Hi guys. I bought a new rockwell american axle to replace the axle on my basscat. I ride a pantera II with a single axle and had a hub go and take the axle with it, I replaced it with the rockwell with new springs and hardware and its nice, but its really close to touching the bottom of my boat, I'm...

Smokie

Smokie

Im coming to understand alot of guys fishing the pro side are trying to compete for aoy points in both the wild west n new jens pro ams, so i see the conflict there n that makes sense to me.
