What's up with the Jika Rig?
Not too much before being knocked off my pedestal seat by the Alabama Rig this week, I started seeing rumblings on Twitter and forums about the
Jika Rig. It seems every couple years, there are new rigs, techniques, gear and technologies to keep up with in bass fishing.

Alabama Rig - Next Big Thing or Pushing the Limits?
As I write this blog, Paul Elias is on the verge of blowing away the field on something called the Alabama Rig and after day 2, the angler in 2nd place, Robert Behrle, is also throwing the same rig. I had never seen anything like it in bass fishing before watching a live on the water video today from FLW. Show More Summary
Tackle Junkie Support Group on Twitter #LBA
Are you a compulsive fishing gear shopaholic? Bait Monkey on your back like a bad smoking habit? Have to have all the newest lures, reels, rods, etc? Take me for instance, I recently vowed not to buy any more gear to save money for a new bass boat to replace the
Quest for a new Boat & My Fall Clearance Event
This past Saturday I fished the Simply Fishing Marine tournament with my buddy Paul Coffey on North & South Center. Even though I had not
been there in 10 years and Paul had never been there, I am pretty confident in my abilities to catch fish this time of year. They put on a fun event and thought it was a...
Gopher Fall Classic 2011
This past Sunday fished the Gopher Fall Classic, it
has been a fun tournament the past few years. It is a random draw team tourney. It also is always close to home and mystery draw with no practice, usually makes for an exciting event. Last
year, my partner Dennis & I...
Not Quite
Went fishing tonight, hoping the fall bass frenzy would be on like donkey kong, but it seemed things are a bit behind this year. Think we need a little more cool nights to finish off the weeds that are still in process of dieing off.
Still a bunch of weeds in a weird state. Show More Summary

2011 MNBFN Tournament of Champions - Whitefish Chain
I was really looking forward to this year's MN BASS Federation Nation
ourney for a couple reasons. One, I am always looking to do well in this tourney and move on to the Northern Divisionals. Also, after the last 2 years where I had a monumental day 2...
Island Lake Reservoir Federation Nation weekend tourneys
This past weekend I had two club tournaments to wrap up the regular season with Gopher Bassmasters. Thanks to Dave Cindrich for being unfortunate enough to hurt his back and to be an awesome guy and lend me his boat for the weekend. We split the lake East & West

My thoughts on 2012 Bassmaster Elite Series Schedule
Looks like 8 stops again this year, nice mix of venues. Although, I have reason to believe some/all pros knew some of these venues ahead of ime as several Elite Series pros were sighted fishing in La Crosse a few weeks ago. Also, nothing about an All-Star week as of now, so maybe details still to come or maybe gone all ...
MFBA Southern Open
In some what of a last minute deal, I decided to fish the TBF/MFBA
Southern Open so I could potentially qualify for their state tournament in late September. With limited time, I only had Saturday to practice, the day before the tournament. I got up super
early and drove down from...
Long hiatus from my boat
Because of a family vacation and being super busy, I had not been in my boat since my last tournament on Minnetonka (July 17). So when I had a few hours free on Sunday morning, August 14th, I had to take the opportunity to get the boat...Show More Summary
Evening on Lake Champlain
My travel schedule has been ridiculous lately, but on a recent trip to Burlington, VT I was able to get out on Lake Champlin. Internet bass
buddy & Virginia Tech Bass fishing team member, Jody White was a gracious host and went out of his way to help
get me on...
Tonka Club Tournaments
The norm for Gopher Bassmasters is to fish two tourneys back to back on the same weekend. For July we were fishing Lake Minnetonka twice and launching from different ends. Saturday we launched from
Maxwell Bay. I had not been on lake since mid June and that was my only trip on Tonka this year for a Jr Tourney that I captained for.
My plan was to start deep in Cook's...
2011 Pan-O-Prog Bass Tournament
My partner Ryan Brant & I fish Tuesday July 5th for a good chunk of they day, which for the most part was very unproductive. I did jump one nice fish off on shallow weed point when we first got
out there. So we ended up starting there.
I quickly caught a fish close to 3lbs on a Baby Ring fry on a mojo rig, Ryan that lost a beautiful 3-4lbs...

Recipe for Saving a Wet Cell Phone
How do you dry out a cell phone?
If you have never soaked a cell phone in the outdoors, you probably don’t fish enough to read this blog or its going to happen this weekend and just jinxed yourself! All kidding aside, I
actually have a recipe for recovering a soaked cell phone.
Whether it was left in a boat compartment that wasn’t so water tight,...
Mille Lacs Smallmouth Bass Fishing Action
Mille Lacs has been on my bass fishing bucket list for awhile, not sure what took so long. Its only a little over 2 hours from my house and I have driven by it countless times to other tournaments and fishing trips. Well Friday things...Show More Summary
