Check with your state director of The Bass Federation(FLW) or Federation Nation(BASS).. There are a lot on Junior Federation Bass Clubs popping up..

If I am not mistaken, it has Silica Sand in them. The same stuff that comes in your box of new shoes and beef jerky to absorb moisture... A little science experiment for ya..The next time you use a Yamamoto Senko, leave one on your hook and place it back in the rod locker. Go back and look at it the next day. It will have beads of condensation all over it from the moisture in your boat.. I would not suggest eating silica sand!!

When watching the video of KVD from the classic. Anyone see a Biosonix sitting on the front deck... HELL NO!!! Another gimmick to catch anglers..not fish!! Kenyon Hill has been sponsored by them for a couple of years... What has he done? Anglers say they use alot of crap...It puts sponsor money in the pocket..

I have run Itaska and Pennzoil synthetic in another boat that I own for 10 years. Have never changed the plugs, and they still look brandnew. A Mercury 150 efi with a ton of hours on it. It has only known 3 speeds, Reverse off the trailer, idle to the dock, and wide *** open from point A-B. Do Not Use synthetic in a new motor. Needs to be well broken in before you do. However Mercury says to run the premium plus in my 250 xs..Always do what they say while its under warranty! Always run 93 octane in a 150 or larger. The mechanics always say 87 or 89.. Thats because it brings them more biz!!

Some of my biggest sacks of fish have come on rainy days and nights! Hard to beat a spinnerbait and a buzzbait in the rain. The fish don't care, they are already wet!

3/4oz Spinnerbait

Cheap and easy way to store plastics. Gallon ziploc bags. You can put 15-25 bags in each one. They save alot more room than plastic boxes. I also keep a shoe box with everything I will need that day. If you don't know what to do when you get to a tournament, 9 times out of 10 your just throwing away your money.

3/4 oz. Spinnerbait w/ 3 rattles Single #6 Emerald Blade, Jig, Texas Rig Lizard w/ rattle...... Catch BIG Spots and Largeheads...

Don't do Dick or Wal-Mart.. We are lucky enough to have a couple of real tackle shops close by. Privately owned shops have better service and a better selection. If you want something they will get it for you. Try that Wal-Mart. They have no idea what you are talking about.

Mostly Skill!!! A little Luck doesn't hurt!! 80/20

I've been his observer in a BASS tournament before. He used a 7' Diawa Hvy. w/ Diawa Reel for pitching.

spawning a little in central and south Alabama

Alot of it is the driver. Prop selection will also make a world of difference in the handling. A boat is easier to control at mid-range rpm's, running creeks and rough water, with a 4 or 5 blade prop. My 21x Triton will not bite at mid range rpm's with a 3 blade 27. It will blow out every time you hit the gas. So, I swap props depending on conditions. It rides good in rough water and is very fast with the 250xs motor. I also have a 94 model Astro F-20 (the fast hull) that has the same hull design as a Bullet or Blazer (Gambler is similar) and it runs the same mid or high range. Great for river's and creeks. It will turn on a dime. But, Will beat you to death on a big lake in rough water. Hull weight is only 1200 lbs. or less. A Champion also handles well, but, the livewells suck. Skeeter is also a good boat depending on the setup.

Buzzbait,spinnerbait while its raining or still overcast.. If a strong front comes through and you have high bluebird skys, try flippn or pitching a jig or beaver into cover till you find out what they are holding on...

175 and 150 will weigh the same!
