SAY WHAT? Back to Back Wins for Siemantel and Tim Tuttle!

Siemantel and Tuttle For The Win

Want to start off by saying thank you to National Bass West for a great tournament on a windy December day at Lake Pyramid.

National Bass West

What a crazy week of weather as our prefish was super hard. 2 days looking and could only muster up one 2 pound bass each day on the water. With the rumors that the winds could hit 70mph gusts if they called the event I would have been OK with that, but know what ever the winds did, our MotorGuide Tour Pro is a workhorse and stays in place when you need it!

Our game plan for tournament day was....IDK? We had 1 spot with the chance of catching a few nice fish and that was only if we got lucky with a good boat draw. Well that didn't happen and the anglers that knew all had better numbers. This is just part of the game as the luck of the draw is key on any body of water.

As Tim and I watch boat after boat head down lake, I literally looked at Tim and said let's just start here and see what happens. 2 hours later we had 4 nice bass in the boat on a spot we have not caught a bass in a few years. Soon the bite just died and we needed one more to fill our limit. We looked at each other and said lets good look at the parking lot where most of the field went. We again got lucky and in time was able to get around a place we knew there were some bass but boat pressure on this lake is no joke and if someone doesn't know how to do boat control, you can kill the bite fast.

In time Tim and I put a limit together and culled up a couple of times. Crazy how fast things can change in either direction in bass fishing.

Tim and I had all kinds of Okuma Fishing USA rods and reels on the deck and as many baits as well. Tried and true dropshot with Team Davies Fishing weights and some new plastics we are working on over at FishLab Tackle helped along with 2 swimbait fish that sealed the deal. Yes FishLab is working on some new swimbaits that are just sick! We are going old school with a weighting system and ROF that I have only showed a few people in the past 15 years.

Big Shout Out to FishLab Tackle on some great BBZ baits that will be handed out at all the NBW SoCal events!
