Nice, congrats to you also! I qualified through the Northern Regional at Lake Erie. All the replies I've been getting is... Watch your lower unit. Ha

I'll be fishing a big tournament as a non boater on Santee Cooper....I'll be down there the second week of November and was wondering what I could expect? I'm hearing Cypress trees will be a big deal... Any tips or suggestions on good lures or tricks to try? Thanks guys!

Hello. Has anyone here ever pursued a fishing lure idea and know the proper steps to get it possibly recognized and produced...? Basically, a good friend and I came up with an idea and technique that caught tons of really nice largemouth and a few smallmouth this year... It has worked very well for a few friends of ours that used it all the way down to Okeechobee and up to Champlain! The few guys that we did show it to were blown away by the idea and thought it was incredible. Now, we don't have the resources at home to build our own supplies, so we have been modifying other lures and borrowing other accessories to build these. We are just regular fisherman with very little connections but I have been talking with a new tackle company about becoming part of their Field Staff but I'm afraid to pitch the idea to them then lose it all. Can anyone suggest the best possible way to get this lure recognized and not get burned by a tackle company or anyone else that loves the idea...? Thank you very very much.

Another good point fishfordollars... It can be very dangerous. I just got back from Detroit River and it was rough. First day guy was a local and sort of knew how to manage the rough waters but I still did get beat up. Second day guy was terrible. Worse ride of my life and my neck, back, and spine are still hurting from the ride...

I'm pretty sure that you have to be at least 18 years of age. I remember seeing that on one of the forms that I signed along the way The only Open that I know of so far for 2011 is Kissimmee in January. I have fished most of the Opens this year as a co-angler and I agree with Tommy 100%. You HAVE to have a good attitude going into these events and you really can't expect much. It's ALL about the draw. I have out fished every one of my "pros" from the back except one and still never had much weight for the event. I did make a bunch of new friends this year and I did learn a few new tricks along the way too. If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me or just post here and I'd be happy to help you. Good luck!

Hello. I'm getting conflicting reports on whether or not I would need a passport for fishing Canadian waters. I was told as long as my boat doesn't dock or come in contact with another vessel, I will be fine. Anyone know for sure or had any problems fishing St. Clair or Erie? Thanks!!!

If anyone fishing the event has room in their boat for a practice partner please let me know! Thanks. phelps117@yahoo.com

I personally believe that the bass are just sick of any Sexy Shad color anymore! He'll bounce back... Probably even a win! For now, he's off my Fantasy team though. >

Does anyone here ever fish this lake and care to share any reports or info? Thanks!

I would suggest Lake Nockamixon. It is on fire right now!

I have used Steve McDonald from http://www.bassmasterguideservice.com/ for years. He is a great guy and fishes the 'Glades almost every day. He is also great if you want to fish for Peacock's as well! Tell him Kevin sent you. Last March Steve took me on a trip to the Holy Lands and I caught the two pigs that are in my avatar picture! I'll be fishing with him next Wednesday as well! Let me know if you need any more info...

I'm a coangler looking for a pro with an empty back deck for practice... If there is anyone fishing the Bass Open that wouldn't mind some company and extra gas money please let me know! Thanks. phelps117@yahoo.com

Thanks for the suggestions guys! The lake and glades sound perfect. Tommy, we'll be down 16-20th...

Hello all! I booked a trip down to Florida in mid March for a few days of bass fishing. I'm staying in Esterio and am looking for suggestions or guides within the area. We have one day booked at Okee out of Roland's already. Any ideas or imput would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

I'd have to say Swindle as well. He is due for a big win and hopefully he will buy new shorts then!
