2 Fister Tuesday: Post spawn bass love their top water lures!

2 Fister Tuesday: Remember that post spawn bass love their top water lures! Either swimbaits like the 6 and 8in BBZ-1 floaters or the new BBZ-1 RAT can draw some incredible strikes from the heavyweights. Fish them slow and steady over humps, points, brush and even along bluff walls doing the Spider Man. If there is shade around, then you have a bonus. Good luck and Keep it in the BBZ.

Caught me a Bigun!

Caught Me a Bigun! Still breaking in the new BassCat Caracal today at Pyramid Lake and found a guy screaming on a broken down jet ski in the middle of the lake. Two things here. 1 is that Power-Poles have another really cool use, they keep ropes out of your prop and protect your boat from rope rash wink emoticon. 2....is it bad of me thinking if I hung a big treble hook under him and had a massive great white smash his jet ski that it would be so bitchen? I know its fresh water and I would not want him to get hurt, but it would still be bitchen! Game On Baby.

June Gloom is coming soon!

June Gloom is coming soon! This is one of the most epic top water bites of the season here on the West Coast. You better have your top water baits ready, SPRO frog or maybe my BBZ-1 RAT? Just a question to our fishing brothers and sisters back East, is there a time frame when the top water bite just goes off? Would love to know. Thanks and Keep it in the BBZ.

Sunday's Slam: Some techniques just hold their own

Sunday's Slam: Some techniques just hold their own. It's amazing no matter where you go in this world that drop shotting a 6 RoboWorm with a 1/4 oz Ventana drop shot sinker and a Gamakatsu hook just catches fish period! Year around, all depths, all water colors, all temperatures and can be fished by anyone. Is there another bait that I am missing that has the same results? Would love to hear it, there are no wrong answers. Have a great Sunday and stay tuned, big new is coming from the BBZ!.

Stan The Rat Kaplun is crushing it!

Stan The Rat Kaplun is crushing it! In 3 trip this guy has caught over 20 fish with this whopper 27 Corvina to top it off. Do you have any doubt that the SPRO BBZ -1 RAT can call up and catch anything that swims? I will tell you one thing though, there might not be enough room in Stan's 7' skiff when I show up so he can take me out and show me how it's done! Outstanding job Stan!
