I was supposed to be doing some R&D with Mark Sexton from Berkley on Havoc baits after the Bull Shoals tournament, but when the event got pushed back a day because of the bad weather, I got the chance to make a surprise trip home. skeetreeseinc.com
We just wrapped up the Elite Series event on Bull Shoals in Arkansas. It’s one of the prettiest places we go all year. From the White River to the Buffalo River and everything in between and around the area is just beautiful. skeetreeseinc.com
How Pros Fish Rocky Bluff Walls
There’s a lot of bluffing going on at Bull Shoals. The somewhat misleading poker game of mental jousting between Bassmaster Elite Series pros is part of the competitive dance. BASSEAST.COM
This week I went Bass fishing at Lake Perris, CA with Kyle from Anglers Marine. We started fishing at 6 in the morning. Amazingly, Kyle’s very first catch with the RTO 1.5 (Color: Pearl Threadfin Shad) was a 9 pound Bass!! However, thick fogs surrounded us and I wasn’t able to film in the beginning but I started filming after the sun came up so please stay tuned for it!
As for me, I continued to fish with some crankbaits for about 2 hours starting 7am including our new LV 500 Spin (vibration) which will be released this year, but got no bites! I decided to change locations assuming the Bass will go into areas with reeds. I used the pitching technique and was able to catch 2 Bass with the Wacky rig. I finally crossed my highest number of Bass caught in a day!
Then Kyle did it again. This time it wasn’t with a hardbait, but with a Texas rig & caught a 7-8 pound Bass!!
I usually only use hard baits for Bass fishing and it was actually my first time learning how to fish with warms. From now on I would like to try my best in properly using both hard and soft baits depending on the condition. And my goal this year is to catch some good size Bass!
The week after next, I will be heading to Vail Lake which is currently in the greatest condition! I heard they are catching over 70 in one day! Please stay tuned!!

Our first two Elite Series events are over and the best thing I guess I can say about them is that I survived them. I don’t really like saying that, but the truth is, one event was really tough and the other started ugly, and I really survived it. skeetreeseinc.com
