Some Terrific News!

For a few years now I have been a huge fan of Bass Magnet Lures. Mike and Mary Nabulsi started their own tackle company in the small town of Belleville, Ontario. Well, this small company is growing quickly!

Recently I was nominated to be a member of the Bass Magnet Lures Pro Staff. What an honour! I am very proud of this appointment. BML Tackle has been a strong part of my fishing arsenal for years now. I am a firm believer in this product. Being a member of the BML Pro Staff is a great opportunity!

I know there will be lots of great news about Bass Magnet Lures on my blog in the near future.

Tight Lines,

Getting Prepared

Wow. This is my first entry in this blog. I am not really sure where to start.

It has been a long winter and an even longer year. Since our recent move I have been busy getting my bass fishing back on track.

It is currently two months from my first BASS Northern Open Tournament. The first event is on Chesapeake Bay (April 16th to 18th 2009).

Preparing for this tournament has been challenging. I have only fished one tidal system in my life (BASS Eastern Divisional 2007, Connecticut River). I expect Chesapeake Bay and the Connecticut River will be similar yet very different. I have been mining some great online resources. Preparation for this event has been mostly reviewing maps, scouring tournament records and reading articles (print and online).

The past few weeks I have ben spending my time is setting up a new BASS Chapter, The Hamilton Bassmasters. This great new BASS Chapter is growing quickly. Membership is growing quickly! This is a busy yet exciting time for this new chapter.

Between upcoming tournaments and the new chapter my schedule is filling quickly. Oh well, better busy than not.
