    Westernbass Magazine, Winter 2025

    Hi All, Welcome to the start of a new fishing season! I’m sorry to see the exit of the longtime MLF (Formerly FLW) Western Division; but very happy to see the new opportunities that have opened for western tournament anglers such as Angler’s Press Pro Teams and Future Pro Tour Top 75 as well as others such as the BAM Super 60 and the expanding Kayak events of the events. I’m also proud to spearhead Fisherman’s Warehouse support of fish conservation as the Conservation Sponsor of the BAM Tournament Trail Live Release Boat. You can read more about that in the feature article in this issue. We have some new exciting things coming down the pike. The first issue of the year is always a great place to feature some of the new gear that typically debuts at ICAST in the late summer and has begun to store shelves by winter. We hope you enjoy some of the new products highlighted in this issue, that we saw at the annual sportfishing tradeshow and are looking forward to trying out on the water. I would like to close by wishing all of you Merry Christmas, a great Happy New Year and a personal best for the upcoming season. Tight Lines,And of course, tight lines! Wayne

    Hi Readers, It’s great to see things returning to some normalcy. I hope that your fishing trips, tournaments and adventures are as well. I look forward to seeing the remainder of the season play out and all of the big fish catches that will bring. On the horizon for this year, we are excited to announce that the largest distributor of tackle in Northern California – Tackle Tech – will be moving its headquarters from Manteca to Sacramento and continue to serve the Fisherman’s Warehouse retail locations, as well as many other retail dealers on the West Coast. These combined locations have been pleased to serve anglers for over 35 years! I once again want to thank you – the WesternBass site viewers and readers – for your continued support of us, the WesternBass.com magazine and the advertisers. As always, please continue to support the site’s advertisers. They are what makes this all possible! Tight lines,Thank you all for your support and good luck on the water! Wayne

    Hi Anglers I hope you and your family are doing fine and hopefully back to fishing the lakes you enjoy. The summer fishing season is finally here – something many of us have been excitedly waiting for during the forced hiatus. It is very nice to see some normalcy returning to our fishing industry. Thanks to all of our readers for sharing their fishing adventures in the forums. To kick off the season, our summer issue features one of the many anglers that contributes to essential workers in these challenging times. WesternBass wants to thank Clara as well as the many, many others. Please keep your local mom and pop businesses and the people and places that support them, in mind for your needs. We are all on the road to recovery together! Good luck on the water! Wayne
