Lastly, I’ve created an ‘A’ Rig with a mix of both Opti Shad and Victory Tail.  http://youtu.be/Yt6NaOvXI7Y

This time I’ve created an ‘A” Rig with the Victory Tail. This smooth movement is amazing.  http://youtu.be/O22zwcPKljI

Next is the Victory Tail. http://youtu.be/eaDiffOKNMQ
This vibrating V-shaped tail is great when falling.  It is good for retrieving with jig heads, or simply moving it left to right and/or wiggling it will create an exquisite action.

Isn’t this video clip incredible? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM7zuTlJfTU
I’ve never seen such uplifting feeding scene before. Amazing!! I can’t wait for the summer season for some Dorado fishing!!

I’ve created the currently popular A Rig with our new “Opti Shad” soft lure. The swimming video clip is great!! http://youtu.be/ZuUv6atjm1k

The A Rig actually hurts Bass so I prefer not to use it so much, but times when I don’t get much bites, I can’t help but to use it. I hope everybody will try using it in different ways also.

Finally!! Our new item this year, the Opti Shad will be released!! It’s been 3 years since Lucky Craft has officially started developing its very own soft lure line. And finally this year our very first one will be released. It is called the “Opti Shad” in meaning of “the greatest shad”. We’ve created a swimming video as well so please check it out!!

Since 3 years ago, we have a series called the CIF which has colors designs based on California Inshore Fishing. It is mainly for Calico Bass, Barracuda and Halibut fishing. Here is a very nice clip on a Californiastyle CIF:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8jFYLuCAa8

This week I planned to go boat fishing to test out some of these CIF series.

This week I went fishing at a certain part of Seal Beach, CA for the first time. Since it was my first time there, I started off from the flow entrance and went along the jetty.

On this day, the waves were fairly high with very heavy water flow, so my lure kept getting shifted away. However at this same spot last week, someone caught a 27in Halibut. So I thought I had a chance also, but it was very difficult. After it became high tide, I relocated to the beach area. I used the FM110, color rotated and casted to about a 200 meter distance, but the only thing I was able to catch was trash bags… (We should all help clean the beach!)

It’s been tough catching Halibuts this year for me, but I will continue to cast until I catch one!! Next week I will be going to Newport Bay for Bay Bass fishing so please stay tuned!

This time I used “Sandy’s lure selection”.

A few days ago in the Bassmaster and FLW rankings (AOY race), Skeet Reese & Brent Ehrler took the lead. Unfortunately this time, Brent ranked slightly lower but Team Lucky Craft Skeet Reese & Anthony Gagliardi took the lead again!

I’m definitely looking forward to the next competition.

For the past several days, the Ultimate Match Fishing Crew and I have been shooting the championship round on Wilson Lake in Florence Alabama. The fishing has been great, and the matches very exciting. I love this area and the people!
