Here you will see Brent’s career in this awsome clip.

September through November on Southern impoundments with good shad populations consistently produce the fastest fishing action of the year. While spring bassin’ yields more trophy bass, numbers of bass caught daily is consistently at its zenith in the fall.

“A New Fishing Spot”

This week I went to a new Halibut fishing spot. When going Halibut fishing, I usually would go to the Long Beach Jetty, but this time I went to the other side where I had in mind for awhile – the Seal Beach Jetty. I got some information about this place that the water stream at the tip of the jetty and towards the beach side (shoal) is the best fishing spot. The basics in trying to get a better chance catching fish at a new location are to continuously and effectively cast and to keep your retrieving speed constant at a certain spot and repeating that action! It is also good to change your depth range from surface, middle area, to the bottom. As for me, I first used the FM110 to explore the surface, then the PT100 for the middle area, and finally for the bottom surface I used our newly released FM120DD & PT100DD!! So with the FM120DDI used my latest technique for Halibut fishing, the bottom knocking action with slow retrieving. This action has been a major success in catching fishes! However, at a new location this bottom knocking technique becomes a huge risk because you have no idea what the bottom surface is like and what obstacles exist and there is a high chance it may get caught into something and lose your lure!! BUT!! If you want to build your fishing skills you sometimes need to be bold. And in that result, I caught one!! The Halibut was about 20in. With my very first fishing experience here, I have a better understanding of where the rocks and such obstacles are located. So next time I want to go a little further towards the tip of the jetty.

Skeet’s championship moment!!

Benny Florentino and I recently fished the last regular season SWBA tournament of 2011. The tournament took place in San Diego and was held at Dana Landing in Mission Bay. The fishing overall was very tough, and we were struggling all day just to get bites. The weather was kind of cool and overcast. On several occasions we each said that if the sun would just come out the fish would bite the rip bait.

Well with 25 minutes left to fish the sunshine finally arrived at Point Loma kelp. Ten minutes later I watched a big calico bass shoot out from under a patch of kelp and literally inhale my Flash Minnow 190 in MS Herring color. The fish ended up weighing 6.75 lbs and was the big fish for the tournament. Our faith in that bait continues to grow every time we throw it. And a $1,000 check doesn’t hurt too much either. Thanks again for making some awesome baits and for letting Benny and I be a part of the Lucky Craft family.

We qualified for the SWBA Elite Championship on Oct 8th and I am sure the Flash Minnow 190 will be a big part of our game plan.

Wish us luck!!

Here Kelly is explaining about the Skeeter boat. Even while driving, Skeeter boats have well stability. It is stable enough to comfortably go fishing during the ride. FX series are so cool~.

Location: Lake Nickajack, Tennessee
Fish: Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass

This is Joe Thomas’ TV show! He is fishing with the Slender Pointer and catching a lot of them. You can see what Tennessee lakes are like here.

This is a clip of Brent at the 2010 ICAST. He talks a little bit about hot & cold water bass fishing.

I’m off to go shore fishing from the beach with our new employee Miku. With this she will experience all 3 styles of fishing: Bass, boat, and shore fishing. We started fishing from early morning in Long Beach where lately it is said to have a high count of catches. This will be her very first Halibut fishing experience as well. Miku has almost no fishing experience, but yet her casting skills are already excellent! With her Kendo experience, she must know how to seize techniques fast. Our first bite of the day was by me, but the size of the Halibut was less than legal size. I used my latest fishing pattern that’s been getting me a lot of bites! I cast the PT100DD and started knocking the bottom then I would slowly retrieve. Especially lately in Long Beach, instead of using the FM110 to swim on surface, there is a better chance in getting a bite when you go a deeper range while feeling the bottom surface. I frequently use the FM120DD & SS90V2 with that fishing pattern and been getting a pretty good result with it. However, it does depend on the condition of the tide, but it is the best to use the DD during high tide!!!

Well then… as for how Miku did, something very shocking happened!
After about an hour since we started, I hear Miku screaming, “Aaaah~~! I caught one!!” So I look over and…!! Her rod was bent tremendously! After carefully pulling it up, there was a huge, 25.5in Halibut!! I was stunned by Miku… Even from last week, she just might have something that gets big ones. Here in California, the law is if you catch a halibut less then 22in you can’t take it home. And to even catch a Halibut larger than 22in is very difficult for all fishermen, but at her very first shore fishing experience with the PT100 she surpassed that. I am extremely impressed.

I’ve been to Long Beach many times this past year and aimed for Halibut, but never did I catch a Halibut over 22in. I am mortified… From now on, I would like to learn a lot from Miku instead.

Fishing Result:
Sandy: Halibut x5
Miku: Legal Size Halibut x1, Halibut x3, Barracuda x1
