Welcome to Jay Kumar's BassBlaster, your daily-ish email about all things bassin'. Take a sec to forward this Blaster to a bassin' bud, willya?
Today's Top 3
1. Need a bigger Mustache Worm!
Panfish deal. Does Rapala/Trigger X need to give us a bassin'-sized Mustache Worm? I theen so!
Inspired by?
2. Most folks fish from shore?
> 86% of freshwater anglers fish with artificial baits, according to a recent online survey done by Southwick Associates at AnglerSurvey.com. Anglers also reported that 59% of them target largemouth or spotted bass, and 65% usually fished from land, pier, dock or wading.
HELLO boat and motor companies. Get 'em in cheap! Maybe a "new" material?
3. Finally someone stands up!
Why this is important:
> Animal rights groups are working to create more government regulations and red tape to crack down on American anglers, like banning the use of lead fishing weights and plastic lures.
> Not enough Americans understand who the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) really is, or what their leaders believe. They know PETA, but they don’t know HSUS. As HSUS continues to grab mainstream attention and credibility, the fishing industry will become more and more of a direct target, much like the agriculture and hunting industries.
> It’s important to realize that the network of 30-40 million American anglers vastly outnumbers those extremists who side with HSUS and PETA. It’s time to stand up and defend our traditional rights and freedoms – because it won’t be long before HSUS openly comes after your rod and reel.

From a BassBlaster reader: I like the fact that MegaStrike is a sponsor. I won a tube on the Texas Fishing Forum one time and now I swear by it! It's great stuff.
Tip of the Day
JVD: 5 spots to fish soft jerks.
Specifically a Strike King Caffeine Shad – as shown in this sweet shot by W2F:
> Backs of pockets – “The shad are all making their way to these types of areas and there will almost always be a large concentration of bait present. If you find shad, you’ll find bass.”
> Grasslines – “Any type of vegetation lines, whether it’s thicker grass or sparse weeds, will definitely help your cause,” VanDam said. “Ambush points are key."
> Feeder creeks – “Feeder creeks are very important during the fall. When it rains, these creeks will give a little more color to the water and the baitfish will get up there and feed on the nutrients from the runoff."
> Gravel – “If you’re on a fishery that hosts smallmouth bass, you can’t go wrong with gravel. They love that good, hard bottom and constantly cruise gravel flats waiting for shad to show themselves."
> Dark spots – “Dark spots can really be anything: stumps, bigger chunk rock or even a big bass sunning itself."

Quote of the Day
You can actually find things that are good to eat, but they're not as good as some things you're used to eating.
