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!

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.

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).

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.
