Well, tomorrow it counts. Tomorrow the hooks will be set with full and unforgiving force because we all need to bring in the bags. We can’t let Michigan down and lose on our home turf!!! No way. We would never live it down.
What a day…? Not sure it taught me a lot, but… I think… once I dry out I will have a better idea. I ran into TBF of Michigan Pres Dennis Beltz on the way out this morning and spent some time going over plans
Well, had to work late every night this week at the ‘day’ job so nothing much prepared. Now comes Saturday and I have a zillion things to do to get on the road for the 2008 TBF Northern Divisional Championship.
Welcome to the new GL Blog the primary bass fishing and tournament blog for GreatLakesBass.com.
This blog board – Perspective – will be opinions, editorial and commentary on the bass fishing and tournament scene. Stay tuned…
In Cody Harris’ young fishing career he has already amassed a fishing resume’ that many top bass pros would be proud to have. Cody has competed in many casting competitions and went on to win the Michigan Casting Kids state championship.
Consider Jonathon VanDam’s situation for a moment: his uncle, Kevin, is the greatest bass fisherman in the world; his father owns the Ohio state smallmouth bass record with a 9 pound, 8 ounce behemoth
After a disappointing finish in the 2007 B.A.S.S. Southern Opens, Edwardsburg, MI angler Mickey Thomas is hungry and confident he’ll show measurable progress in 2008.
On the frozen waters of Northeast Indiana, there’s a quiet buzz getting louder. It’s putting ice anglers in a trance causing them to follow others around in a stupor of what they’re witnessing: the noodle rod.
How do you become a professional fishermen? “Patience! Patience! Patience!” is the answer 34 year-old professional angler Mickey Thomas of Edwardsburg, Michigan offers.
I’d like to begin by giving credit for the idea of local sponsorship to Scott Rauber the author of Fish for Free. A couple of years ago a friend and I were kicking around the idea of tournament fishing. We heard about an up and coming tournament being sponsored by a local radio station and we decided to sign up.
Ever since Dan Kimmel introduced me to Lake Ovid a few years ago, it has been one of my favorite fishing destinations. This small impoundment within Sleepy Hollow State Park has features found in many southern reservoirs albeit on a much smaller scale.
Few of us get to fulfill childhood dreams of playing Major League Baseball or fishing professionally; however, it’s those few that do come true that keep us fantasizing. Close to home and a new source of inspiration is Mickey Thomas of Edwardsburg, Michigan.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources released their final version of the new Fish Disease Control order for state waters. Great consideration given for catch-and-release tournament anglers, but anglers also need to help out.
Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia or VHS is the newest, and possibly most serious non-native invader into our great waters. This page is dedicated to providing you the most accurate and helpful information on this critical issue.
The VHS virus federal order has been amended effective 5/4/07 to allow transportation of live fish over international and interstate borders for fishing activities such as tournaments where the fish are released alive.
Now that we’re at the tail end of the unofficial sponsorship season (roughly October through March), many of the techniques and approaches to gaining a sponsorship are still fresh in my mind.
Everyone used to hate it, is how Doug Roher explains the feelings fellow bass anglers had towards the St. Joe River. In recent times though, size, quality, and consequently, feelings have changed towards this one-time nemesis of Northern Indiana bass anglers.
