Westernbass Magazine, Summer 2023
Hi All, Isn’t it ironic! The water levels have come up and the bass within the fisheries don’t seem to know how to act! The erratic bites, lack of giant pre-spawner photos, blanking boats and less than typical tournament weights for the season are leaving many of us scratching our heads. Many – but not all! Ken Mah for one seems to have figured something out and that something earned him over $125,000 in the inaugural Western Bass Shootout. Congratulations Ken! What an event that was and we can only expect it to improve! The Western Bass Shootout win earned Ken his third cover on WesternBass Magazine. A first for us! A well-deserved accomplishment for Ken. As we progress into summer, we are already near the six-hour tournament requirement of California, and the annual ICAST show – things we all know and expect, but what about something new? For 2023 there will be a new Outdoor Show on the block and it’s happening this fall. We will have more info soon. In the meantime, good luck with that summer topwater bite, the frog tournaments, and the final events of your tournament circuits. Fall TOC’s are just around the corner. Tight Lines! Wayne

Westernbass Magazine, Spring 2023
Hi All, As we kick off 2023, it is already the beginning of an exciting season! The big rains, while not perfect for all have resulted in water levels in our fisheries that we so desperately needed and should make for some awesome fishing this year. And, as we’ve seen there have already been some big, big bass, like the double-digit caught by our cover angler on this issue – Alex Niapas. Also making history was the APEX Pro Tour championship winner Luke Johns for his victory at Folsom Lake. Congratulations to both! Looking ahead on the national scene we are only days away from the REDCREST and the Bassmaster Classic events. I always look forward to seeing who comes out on top in the highest levels of fishing across the U.S. As for the best in the West, we are closing in on the debut of the Western Bass Shootout right here on the California Delta and what an event that will be! We can’t wait to see you there! Once again, on behalf of WesternBass, I want to thank all of the site’s advertisers and ask that all of you help support those that help support us and allow us to bring you the WesternBass site and magazine. Thank you! Wayne
