Fishing electronics have continued to make our lives easier when locating cover, structure, and fish. These underwater eyes are highly effective tools that reduce the time to find productive fishing areas, no matter what species you target. For National Walleye Tour pro and owner of The Walleye Guys guide service, Brian Bashore, his electronics are vital for finding walleyes.
Michiana anglers Tad Hepler and Dave Eggers eked out a win in the recent Shoreline Bass Tour event on Cadillac and Mitchell Lakes.
When walleye are finicky and you need to put a jig right in front of their hungry mouths, turn to the new VMC® Hover Jig.
Randall Tharp Rolls On Bassmaster Classic Field With 27-Plus PoundsBIRMINGHAM, Ala. Losing what he called a really good fish right off the bat, Randall Tharps Friday didnt begin well.
But a few keepers later, Tharp began to roll straight toward the first-day lead of the GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by Diet Mountain Dew and GoPro on Lake Guntersville.
At about my fifth stop, I finally got into a little school and caught an 8 1/2 and a 5. From then on, it got pretty easy, said the Floridian, who ended round one with 27 pounds, 8 ounces. I caught fish at about every stop I made.
Tharps huge haul of Lake Guntersville largemouth bass gave him the lead, but he didnt stomp the field. He had 11 ounces on Edwin Evers of Talala, Okla., who posted 26-13 for second place.
Third place was taken by David Walker of Sevierville, Tenn., with 24-13.
Fourth place was a tie at 23-2 between Casey Ashley of Donalds, S.C., and Fred Roumbanis of Bixby, Okla. Roumbanis bag held the largest bass of the day, a 9-3. That Guntersville lunker positioned Roumbanis as the events frontrunner for the Carhartt Big Bass Award of up to $2,500 for the largest single catch.
