Today’s Top 3
1. After waiting to pump gas for 15 minutes I went in the store to see what the hold up was and why Tommy BIFFLE hadn’t moved his truck and much to my surprise he was inside with a buggy buying groceries – some things make my butt itch!

– HAHAHAHA! I don’t know what’s funnier, G-man’s reaction or Tommy doing it, maybe on purpose!

For me it’s wet undies, chiggers, etc. that does it….

2. I’d turn it on the shad setting, and I’d have fish come from out of nowhere up to the boat.

– Oneida Open winner Jim Bianchi talkin’ ’bout the Hydro Wave. Then he said: “I was able to pitch back out to that fish and catch it most times.”

I gotta see one o’ these things in action…you do too….

3. Takin’ a peek at the St. Lawrence.

I think a lot of the guys are going to practice too much in the lake and only give the river a little attention. I think that will help me.

Even if you catch the biggest largemouth limit that usually won’t crack the Top 12 compared to the smallmouth. They just seem to grow bigger.’

Ott DeFoe

There is a ton of water here and plenty of fish, going to need good bags each day to do well!

Practiced late today, this place is awesome. Gonna take some serious weight.

Alton Jones

A good one from Brandon Card. Looks like he’s on the lake?

Last but not least, how BassGold indicates it’ll be won, including the fact that it’ll need an average of 20 lbs a day to do well.

Tip of the Day

If backwaters are too hot, then…

Tips shared in the context of the upcoming FLW Cup:

> In spring, water quality is good and bass are positioning in backwaters for the spawn. During summer, water quality and temperatures can be questionable in some backwaters. “If we don’t have rain north of the river to get it to rise before the Cup we won’t have much current, and that will take a chunk of the river out of play simply because water levels will prohibit access or the water will be stagnant,” said Zell Rowland.

> He noted that vegetation plays a big part in backwater success. Aquatic vegetation improves the water quality, and holds better bass than sloughs and pockets that only have wood cover.

> “The Booyah Pad Crasher and Poppin’ Pad Crasher will be good for those areas with vegetation,” he said. “For flipping, I’ll be throwing a YUM Wooly Bug or Mighty Craw.”

> Matt Reed agrees with Rowland on his choice of flippin’ baits and said that smaller plastics are best. “Shad and smaller bluegills are the main forage during summer,” said Reed. “The fish don’t seem to have much to do with crawfish this time of year. Chartreuse patterns have always done best.”

Quote of the Day

We built the whole yard with nothing but rocks, so all I do is walk around with a sprayer and nuke a few weeds once in awhile.

Denny Brauer on living in south TX. Also said: “In Missouri, there were 3 or 4 days a month where I did nothing but mow.”

That’s my kinda yard. And he’s getting a Lab – hey Denny, we’re twins man!

(Uh, sorry Denny…sir!)
