4 months until Plummers Lodges!
Countdown Begins: Less than 4 months before I am able to fly out with great friends to Plummers Lodges on Great Bear Lake in the NWT. One of the most spectacular trips one can go on. Will post videos soon on catching monster Lakers with my Tiger Tubes the same way I caught 50 pound limits of bass at Casitas in the early 90s. The BBZ techniques work on all fish large and small but I get a kick out of the larger ones more smile emoticon Let's all Keep it in the BBZ.
Flash Back Friday: Going Psycho
FBF: Going Psycho, In the Big Bass Zone, confidence and consistency are inextricably woven together like threads in fine cloth. It's impossible to have one without the other. Have you read the Big Bass Zone book? It may help you find and keep you in the BBZ, just saying.
Way Back Wednesday: Sierra's opening for trout season
WAY BACK WEDNESDAY: Sierra's opening this month for trout season. Yah, I was a float tubber back when I was a young and thought I looked cool with my cowboy hat! My PB brook trout is just over 6#, not bad for a Cali fish and yes I did catch them on my doll hair jigs (Phat Flys).
Class Picture: Hanging out with Gary Klein
Class Picture: It's always cool to hang out with good friends and understand that we are both students of the game. Gary shows me the art of jig fishing and here I give him a little peek in the world of monster tube fishing. Hanging out with the legend Gary Klein, who have you rubbed elbows with?
DIY Saturday: Whiskers on the rat
DIY Saturday: Had a few asking about putting whiskers on the SPRO BBZ-1 RAT. First and foremost, you do not need to do this at all to increase your chances of catching more fish. This is for those guys looking to just doll up their baby a little for the dance. Either a hot glue gun or super glue will do the trick. I personally don't recommend drilling holes but it will secure the whiskers better with superglue than just a simi attachment with the hot glue gun. Enjoy your DIY BBZ Style.
Flash Back Friday: Are you a one trick pony?
FBF: Are you a one trick pony? I sure hear a lot on people saying that they will ONLY use One Technique and Tool like a big baits, or just flip, maybe splitshot, or I only love to dropshot, no, I am going to drag a jig until my arms fall off. I would rather be versital in my tools and techniques and change to what the fish want to eat rather than me trying to force feed them what I want to throw at them. I like having my arms fall off holding butter ball bass at the end of the day rather than saying I never laid my jig rod down! Can you relate?
Georgia Rat Donkey
Georgia Rat Donkey: Coleman Cloud crushes an absolute monster on the SPRO BBZ -1 RAT! After Coleman bought a BBZ-1 RAT at the BassMasters Classic he was able to finally get on the water and the second trip was the charm. This 9# GA gem couldn't handle the sexy wake of his bait. Way to Keep it in the BBZ!
Best of Times: Remember the past
Best Of Times: Always take a moment and remember the past. Here is my good buddy Chris Poffenburger and I after a day on the pond with prototype handmade plastic bootails Chris designed. The key to the big fish that day, was we never felt a hit....the line just went slack. Yes, big fish dont always hit head first, sometimes they come from behind and just deep throat them wink emoticon Remember the past to help your future. Keep it in the BBZ.
