Setting an ESPN Fantasy Fishing Line-up for Smith Mountain Lake

April 22, 2009 hellabass

Happy Earth Day!

Smith Mountain Lake may be one of the toughest to pick all year. Clear deep water lake, with lots of pressure and boat traffic on the weekends. All indications say that sight fishing and finesse will be the ticket, but its been a little cool lately, so maybe some angler can get on a wad of big females in a pre-spawn stage.

The local talent pool is thing for this lake, few anglers from Virgina, John Crews is probably the closest to calling it his home lake.

After Smith mountain, you should probably be prepared to settle into a little groove with your roster on the next two TVA lakes.

Here are a few guys that I think would be solid picks that are not on my team. Ike, Kriet, John Murray & Mark Davis. The breakdown on my team is as follows:
KVD – He will likely be on my team all year, he should be near dominate on these TVA lakes, can’t give him up just because this may not be the best fit.
Matt Herren – For the money probably on my roster til the bitter end, just hope he grabs a Top 50.
Skeet Reese – Another horse to hitch my wagon to for the season
Alton Jones– Tough call to give Horton up, with Kentucky & Guntersville coming up, but Alton should do well & has a hot hand.
John Crews– G-Man kept proving me wrong, so the Crews Missile gets the nod this week for being local.

So here are my Smith Mountain picks, you will notice less change over this time:

Rich’s Roster
Angler 1	Angler 2	Angler 3	Angler 4	Angler 5

Kevin VanDam Kalamazoo, MI	Skeet Reese Auburn, CA	Alton Jones Waco, TX	John Crews Salem, VA	Matthew Herren Trussville, AL
MKT: $24.6 (+0.1) LKD: $24.5	MKT: $23.8 LKD: $23.8	MKT: $21.8 LKD: $21.8	MKT: $16.2 LKD: $16.2	MKT: $13.6 (+0.5) LKD: $13.1

Its not too late to join my group, prizes will be awarded at every tournament and year end.

Old Guys still getting it done!

April 9, 2009 hellabass

Seems like every time you start hearing guys talk about how professional bass fishing has become a young man’s game, then we have a weekend like this last weekend. Tommy Biffle lays down a convincing win at Wheeler and Guido Hibdon use his wisdom to top a 200 boat field at Lake Eufala. While these guys are not competing for AOY titles anymore, they still prove at any given tournament they are a threat to not only make final cuts, but bring it all home! The most exciting part of this, is that you may have a lot longer then you think to chase down your dream as a professional tournament angler.

Over the past few years, Denny Brauer, Guido Hibdon, Paul Elias, Tommy Biffle & David Fritts have all won tour events, some of these guys have won multiple times. This definitely is one of the many things that makes bass fishing exciting to follow and what a lot of avid bass anglers can relate to. One thing that seems apparent, is that when these guys do win, they seem to do it when conditions line up to their strengths. These guys don’t seem to win tournaments anymore by junk fishing and flying by the seat of their pants like they may have done in the past. Brauer’s victory on Champlain came courtesty of a strong bite flipping his signature jig, Elias claimed the all time heavy weight record at Falcon with the Kneel & Reel, and Fritt’s victories came largely on his DT Series crankbaits.

This past weekend on Wheeler, Biffle found a flooded creek to himself and flipped his key area to death with 3 primary baits:
> A 3/8 oz Lunker Lure Rattleback jig (black/blue) tipped with a Gene Larew Super Salt Biffle craw (black/blue w/ sapphire-blue claws)

> A Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver (black/red), Texas-rigged with a 5/16 oz Tru-Tungsten Worm weight & 4/0 Reaction Innovations BMF hook, & pegged with a Tru-Tungsten Smart Peg.

> An 8.5″ Gene Larew Biffle-O lizard (black-neon), which is a hollow-body & hollow-tail lizard. He Texas-rigged it with the same weight & pegging system, but upsized to a 5/0 Owner hook. Find Gene Larew Salt Craws & Biffle-O Lizards @ Basspro.com

Photo courtesty of BassFan.com
Guido Hibdon is a great finesse fisherman, but also an all time grinder, ecspecially when targeting post-spawn fish. He ended up targeting some small areas and had to wait the fish out, sometime making 30-40 casts to the same rock before igniting the bite. Here are the 3 techniques & baits that Guido relied on:
> Crankbait gear: 7′ medium-action JB Custom jig rod, Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris Signature Series baticaster (6.3:1 ratio), 17- & 20-lb Berkley Trilene XT, Lucky Craft RC 2.5 (BPS exclusive) or C Flash 22 Cal. crankbait (chartreuse/black). Noted the bigger fish would not bite crankbaits with rattles in them.

> Jig gear: Same rod & reel, Berkley Trilene 100% fluorocarbon line, 1/4 oz Luck “E” Strike jig (brown-red), Luck “E” Strike Guido Bug trailer (brown/purple flake).

> Carolina rig gear: Same rod and reel, 20 lb Berkley Trilene 100% fluorocarbon line, 3/4 oz bullet weight, 3 glass beads, small barrel swivel, 14 lb Berkley Trilene 100% fluorocarbon leader (18″), 3/0 Gamakatsu EWG hook, Luck “E” Strike Shakey Tail worm (chartreuse/green-pumpkin). – Find Luck “E” Strike lures @ Basspro.com

Moral of the story, you can still learn plenty from the old timers of the sport and don’t take them for granted, because they can still flat catch’em!

Setting an ESPN Fantasy Fishing Line-up for Lake Wheeler

April 1, 2009 hellabass

First off, wow I had no idea Wheeler was this week until I got my Fantasy Fishing email reminder from ESPN to make my picks; usually I am much better then that, kind of caught me off guard. So lesson #1, go into your account and click the box that says you want a reminder, it works! Also, if you have not done so lately, click on the tab that say “Renegotiate Salaries”, if you have Ike on your team, you will get $.5 of cap space back after last weeks debacle at Dardanelle. That is something you should do after every event!

Lake Wheeler is a TVA impoundment, has good grass as well as all kinds of channel swings, shell beds and every other submerged structure an angler could ask for. Sounds like things are shifting towards post-spawn in this area now. That would setup great for your deep water structure guys, they can get in the right area and catch fish staging, and might get both coming & going. I am sure there will be a couple sight fishermen in the Top 12, but that is usually a crap shoot to pick from.

There is a ton of local talent to pick from for Wheeler, just look at all the pros from Alabama!

With the exception of Smith Mountain, we have 3 of 4 TVA lakes on the schedule, so most of us should be able to lock into a somewhat more stable roster for awhile now. When I think back to the really good year, I had in BASS Fantasy fishing, I had the same 4 guys on my roster almost all year and just flip flopped that #5 angler to match up to lakes. I think I have been doing to much changing this year, so this week I did some wholesale changes.

Here are a few guys that I think would be solid picks that are not on my team. Randy Howell, Greg Vinson, Boyd Duckett, & Alton Jones. The breakdown on my team is as follows:
KVD – He will likely be on my team all year, he should be near dominate on these TVA lakes.
Matt Herren – Reehm got the axe, so I am picking up Herren, should be a great value, for the money probably on my roster til the bitter end.
Skeet Reese – Cost me some money to dump the Ike the Space Monkey in favor of Skeet, but Skeet is probably 1A right behind KVD over the past couple seasons.
Timmy Horton – I look for Horton to catch multiple 4 lb bass on the same cast with his Shaved Fat Free Shad on Wheeler, Guntersville & Kentucky Lakes!
Gerald Swindle– Hack was still too expensive after grabbing Reese, so G-Man seemed like a good value and should do well on these Alabama lakes and he loves docks, so Smith mountain should suit him well too!

So here are my Lake Wheeler picks, you will notice, only KVD remains from my Dardanelle disaster of a roster:

Rich’s Roster
Angler 1	Angler 2	Angler 3	Angler 4	Angler 5

Kevin VanDam Kalamazoo, MI	Skeet Reese Auburn, CA	Timmy Horton Muscle Shoals, AL	Gerald Swindle Warrior, AL	Matthew Herren Trussville, AL
MKT: $24.8 (+0.3) LKD: $24.5	MKT: $23.8 LKD: $23.8	MKT: $19.9 LKD: $19.9	MKT: $16.8 LKD: $16.8	MKT: $13.1 LKD: $13.1

Setting an ESPN Fantasy Fishing Line-up for Lake Dardanelle

March 25, 2009 hellabass

Lake Dardanelle is once again much different then Amistad, but probably a little similar to the Red River classic site, so if you have guys on your roster from that event, maybe think about keeping them. Lake Dardanelle is kind of hybrid body of water that is kind of lake, kind of a river, so keep that in mind. For the most part, from what I read, its a fairly shallow fishery. Based on what I have read & seen of this fishery, probably a power fishing technique will win.

It also seems that on river systems, home field advantage can be a little more important. Guys like Scott Rook, Greg Hackney & Kevin Short have done real well in past tourneys on different sections of the Arkansas River. I think it has to do with these small little quirky spots and trees and stuff like that, seems like you can bank on some of these spots for a few key fish in tournaments, that looms large in a tough bite, as reported right now. It also sounds like there could be a little sight fishing if weather warms.

Hopefully somebody beat Mr. Mayer this week, he is hawging all the prizes

Here are a few guys that I think would be solid picks that are not on my team. Randy Howell, Scott Rook, Bill Lowen. The breakdown on my team is as follows:
KVD – He will likely be on my team all year, plus he has been strong here in the past, but where does he not catch them???
Clark Reehm – When I dropped Velvick, I looked down the list for a bargain pick, this is my bargain pick, local angle, good value, hopefully he has his best finish of the year here, cause I probably will rotate him out for Wheeler.
Iaconelli – When I picked up Reehm, I had all kind of cap space, so I added the Space Monkey, he is fishing hot.
Hackney – He remains on my team, actually doing research on whether I wanted Rook or Short, made me feel better about Hackney, he has been awesome on this system
Kevin Short – I wanted to pick Scott Rook, but searching through archives, especially old BFL results, Short is my guy this week.

Do not be surprised if only KVD & IKE are left on my roster for Dardanelle.

Rich’s Roster
Angler 1	Angler 2	Angler 3	Angler 4	Angler 5

ALABAMA’S LAY LAKE SELECED FOR 2010 BASSMASTER CLASSIC

March 23, 2009 hellabass

LAY LAKE IN ALABAMA’S SHELBY COUNTY TAPPED AS FISHERY FOR 2010 BASSMASTER CLASSIC

BASS announced Tuesday that the 2010 Bassmaster Classic will return in February to Lay Lake in Shelby County, AL, site of three previous Classic competitions – 1996, 2002 and 2007.

Fifty-one Classic qualifiers will hit the Coosa River impoundment Feb. 19-21 for the 2010 Classic title. As previously announced, the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex in downtown Birmingham, AL, will be the site of the daily weigh-ins and accompanying 2010 Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo. This weekend BASS firmed up the location for the morning festivities at Beeswax Creek Boat Ramp, 537 Beeswax Park Road, near the town of Columbiana, AL.

“Shelby County is excited about the opportunity to showcase our natural resources and attract an international audience as we host our fourth Bassmaster Classic,” said Shelby County Manager Alex Dudchock. “Lay Lake continues to be a destination for anglers and water recreation enthusiasts, and Shelby County will continue to promote tourism through these types of events in our local, regional and state economy.”

Alabama is no stranger to the biggest event in the sport. The state has hosted 10 Classic events, including three contested on Lay Lake. The most recent, in 2007, is famous for being the first to be won by a home-state pro: Bassmaster Elite Series pro Boyd Duckett of Demopolis. He laid to rest the myth of “home-state jinx” when he won with 48 pounds, 10 ounces of Lay Lakebass.

Duckett bested fellow Elite pro Skeet Reese of Auburn, CA, by just 6 ounces.

Reese, who landed his first Classic title less than a month ago at the Red River in Louisiana, said another Classic on Lay Lake could be his chance to extract about 6 ounces’ worth of revenge.

“Another Classic on Lay Lake is great news. I will get the opportunity to go back to Lay Lake and try to win. Finishing second to Boyd in 2007 was a little tough to swallow,” he said half-jokingly.

“I feel a Classic on Lay also will be an opportunity for me to repeat as champion, and I’m excited about going back there.”

With the defending champion’s automatic qualification for 2010, right now Reese is the only angler with a secured berth – the other 50 will qualify through various BASS tournament circuits.

“Birmingham is excited to host the 40th Bassmaster Classic and we anticipate another fantastic event,” said Mike Gunn, vice president, Greater Birmingham Convention & Visitors Bureau. “This is our seventh time hosting this prestigious, major sporting event.”

Iacnonelli & Walker set the pace

March 13, 2009 hellabass

Couple notes from Day 1 on both major tournament tours.

Ike bags giant donkey of a bass, that weighed almost 13lbs to take the lead at Amistad, he also had a fish around 8lbs. Those two fish anchored his 27-09 lb bag. The weights were off as Amistad goes, but still 9 bags over 20lbs. Don’t think anyone will reach a 100lbs this week, but you never know. My fantasy team is middle of the pack, but my lowest guy (Bill Lowen) is in 60th, so I got a good shot of my whole team fishing Day 3 which really helps. Could be doing better if Velvick would have boated fish #5.

Photo from BassZone.com

Here is a brief update from the guys at BassZone.com and the anglers they got updates from on the water.
Weights from the Water on Day 2 as of 12:30 CDT. I know Fralick had a few fish as well.

Evers – 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10.00
Snowden – 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10.00
Bobby Lane – 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15.00
Morizo – 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00
Tak – 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.00
Kriet – 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13.00

David Walker set the bar high on a very cold day 1 at Table Rock. His first keeper of the day was a 7lb 7oz toad largemouth which paved the way to a 26-11 creel. Walker is well on his way to following up his Top 10 finish at Guntersville. Other then walker, Fukae is my only other angler in Top after day 1 but a couple guys are lingering and could make a move today.

You may have noticed I have updated my Blog layout and colors, mainly to fix a problem I had with my posts dropping to the bottom of the page sometimes. Hopefully this is a long term fix!

Hope to see some of you at the Northwest Sport Show this weekend, I will be walking around on Saturday.

BASS Tour, Fantasy Bass Fishing Corner

Setting an ESPN Fantasy Fishing Line-up for Lake Amistad

March 10, 2009 hellabass

For starters, if you missed the link to this breakdown of the BASS salary cap, click here to read one by BP.

Much like the first 2 FLW tournaments are completely different venues, its probably even a greater difference between the Red River and Lake Amistad. I have fished Amistad both for fun and as a Co-Angler in an Elite Series tournament. Amistad is a very deep clear canyon lake that is chocked full of flooded brush and a good amount of hydrilla grass.

The one nice thing, is that BASS has been coming to Del Rio for the last 3 years near this time of the year. So you got a solid comparison to work from, but its always a little different every time. Plus you have a handful of new anglers from the Opens that can always make a splash. In my mind, here are the patterns that could play depending on weather. Swimbaits, Flipping or Cranking Bushes, deep structure with big worms or football jigs or if timing is right, bed fishing could loom large. Picking BASS fantasy fishing lineups can be a little tricky, because you kind of get penalized for switching anglers, if a angler is fishing well, you want to keep him because you are locked in when you own them, if you drop them & try to pick them up, you could end up paying more. I like to lock in my top 3 or 4 horses and then adjust the bottom 1-2 slots to match up the lakes.

Talked to my dad last week and he said the water is warming and fishing are moving shallow, a buddy of his caught a 10 lb fish pretty shallow over the weekend, cool weather & clouds could push some fish back. Sight fishing will play a role, just not sure how big of a role at this point.

So below is my lineup, from the Classic I dropped Rick Morris and picked up Velvick, he is bound to well on his home lake, right? KVD has been a stud at Amistad & will probably never leave my lineup all year, Hackney has been up & down there (like him at Dardanelle as well) & KJ loves big fish & TX. As far as Lowen, he has had some success there, he has made the 50 cut every time at Amistad plus I can’t really find anyone I like that much in his price range or below, and he should do well on Dardanelle as well.

Rich’s Roster
Angler 1	Angler 2	Angler 3	Angler 4	Angler 5

Kevin VanDam Kalamazoo, MI	Kelly Jordon Mineola, TX	Greg Hackney Gonzales, LA	Byron Velvick Del Rio, TX	Bill Lowen North Bend, OH

2009 Bassmaster Classic First Glance

February 22, 2009 hellabass

I am going First Glance, because in a day or so, all the footage will be out, photos, articles on baits and presentation, the real nuts & bolts of how the anglers caught their fish. Right now we are going off the cuff, a little anyways.

Congrats to Skeet Reese, this with his AOY title validates his career if he never boats another bass in a tournament, not likely! I think several guys were on fish to win this event, but it seems that Skeet just made the right decisions and for the most part must have fished pretty clean and landed his bites. The early reports are he used two main baits, the new Crazy Legs Chigger craw and the Lucky Craft Redemption Spinnerbait. These baits seem very fitting, since a chigger craw was Skeet’s demise when Boyd Duckett used it to knock him to second on Lay Lake and Skeet designed the Redemption Spinnerbait for Lucky Craft and that is exactly what he got, REDEMPTION!!! It will also be interesting if other anglers start sporting Skeet’s new hair style…. Maybe since he could spend less time on his hair and more time preparing tackle or sleeping and that is what fueled his win…….

Iaconelli is a great angler, but I think our ear drums will appreciate him not winning As I review the final standings, the most interesting thing I noticed is that not a single angler was able to break 20lbs on more then one day. The weighs were really kind of up and down for all the anglers, I think that is just the nature of the Red RIver to some degree. I believe the guys weights who varied less were the ones that made the better adjustments in either area or presentation or both. COngrats to Federation Nation champ Brian Schmidt for his 6th place finish, awesome job!!!

Couple interesting things, Kelly Jordan left his primary area early today with a few small fish, later in the day Alton Jones slipped in and caught 20lbs, so if KJ would have stuck it out or came back earlier, it could have been a different story. Also Jami Fralick was sharing an area with Snowden, the first two days, Fralick caught the big bag, today Snowden had the big bag and would have won it for Fralick, tough to say what would have happened if they didn’t have to share.

Seemed like pad stems and wood were big keys. Soft plastics, Spinnerbaits, jigs and a few crankbait fish. Like Kenyon Hill said, it is very much Meat & Potato fishing.

I think my Fantasy team took a nose dive as all 3 of my remaining anglers fell in the standings. Better luck in 2 weeks at Amistad.

Congratulations to Skeet Reese!!

Man some big bags of fish were weighed in again today, I hope they give some better coverage to those 20lb plus bags tonight on TV. There were 5 monster bags outside of the Super Six. A couple of 6 & 7 pound fish weighed. Man I wish I had the ESPN360.com

Reflection on Day 2 of 2009 Bassmaster Classic

February 22, 2009 hellabass

Moving day at the Classic lived up to the billing. Some guys stumbled like Boyd Duckett, but a bunch of the anglers really stepped on the gas on Day 2. On day 1, Boyd had the loan 20lb bag, on Saturday there was a 20lb bag and three 22lb bags. For the most part, you needed to catch them better today then on Friday just to keep pace. Even though the air & water temps cooled, the cloud cover made the bass easier to harvest for most of the anglers.

I am very impressed with Jami Fralick’s consistency, looks like he has found a stellar area and has also been managing his fish. I some what expected to see him fade away much like Charlie Hartley did last year, but now I believe he will be right there at the end with a few other anglers. Other anglers like Kelly Jordan have eluded to catching their bags early and the going to new water, so we will see what pros have managed their fish well on Day 3. The bite sounds to be tougher on Sunday, but guys that have left their fish early each day, may be able to really milk those areas on Sunday to push for the win. We have the top 7 guys all hunting for their first classic and three former classic champs right behind them. I would say that there is a 80-90% likelihood that we will have a first time champ this afternoon.

The Federation Nation anglers are for the most part not in contention to win after today, but 3 of them made the cut, which is very respectable. There is a possibility for someone to make a big charge, because I get the feeling that the Red can very cruel, so a couple guys could stumble on top and someone could catch an 8lb bass and make a big threat. Alton Jones did tell a story about breaking off a 10lb bed fish twice at the end of the day. But I believe for all practical purposed, the Top 10 guys are ones with legitimate shots at taking home the $500k. Boyd & Ike are tied for 9th and sit just under 5lbs out of the lead.

Reports say most guys caught them on reaction baits yesterday, Skeet = Spinnerbait, Jordan = Magic Shad, Fralick = Swimming Jig, Davis = Crankbait, will those presentations work today with high skies or will they need to adjust? Will guys like Martens or Wolak who were finesse fishing soft plastics be able to keep their bite going better. One thought is that Kelly Jordan is fishing closest to the launch, so maybe he can get an early bite better with his reaction baits while his competitors are still running.

My Fantasy Fishing team rebounded a bit on day 2, while I only got 3 guys fishing on day 3, all of my guys increased their weights and moved up in the standings. Right now my score is 1171, which bumps me to 11th out of 34 in my group, 9643 overall, 68.6 percentile. I still think my guy KJ will come through and anchor my Fantasy Fishing team to a solid finish!
