Westernbass Magazine, Winter 2026
Hi All, I’d like to begin this issue by congratulating Anglers Marine on their longevity and continued impact on the Western bass community. Their dedication to anglers, tournaments, and the growth of our sport has made them a cornerstone of the region. We are happy to host them on the cover as we step into a new year of fishing. As we go to press, the 2026 season is just about to launch, and tournament anglers across the West are already preparing for another busy schedule. New gear, fresh patterns, and early-season opportunities will shape the months ahead. Whether you compete or simply enjoy time on the water, this season brings plenty to look forward to. January also brings the International Sportsmen’s Exposition back to Cal Expo, a key kickoff event for the year. It’s a great place to learn, connect, and see the latest products in person. The WesternBass title sponsor Fisherman’s Warehouse will be onsite with super show specials and always a shopper’s favorite, the NO SALES TAX deal. Be sure to visit the Westerbass Fish Tank there’s always giant fish to see! Please enjoy this issue with a highlight of some of the new gear for the new year and as always we encourage you to support the sponsors who support you. Their commitment helps keep the WesternBass website, magazine and forums and socials strong and our fishing community growing. Tight Lines, Wayne

Westernbass Magazine, Summer 2024
Hi all, Welcome to another summer season of WesternBass.com Magazine. The summer issue marks our 13th anniversary of the introduction of the WesternBass mag and always a great time of year. We love to see the big bass that come by way of topwater, and punching, as well as those later stage spawners and who knows what will come from the catches with Forward Facing Sonar this year! Summer always brings the ICAST show and the new products for our industry. It is always exciting and something we all look forward to! We would like to welcome our newest site advertiser Bridgford Foods. They are not only a WesternBass advertiser. Their meat snacks are a new addition to the Fisherman’s Warehouse in-store product line. Bridgford is a great supporter of the sport, and we are fortunate to have them onboard! Speaking of which, do you have Bridgford in your boat? Thanks to Bridgford for joining us and all of the WesternBass site advertisers. Remember, who they are and always we encourage you to support those, who support us and the sport that we all love! Tight Lines,Tight Lines! Wayne
