Clear Lake BASS Fantasy Fishing Picks

I am sticking with Skeet & KVD for my A Group this week, Skeet should do great on Clear and KVD had a pretty mediocre showing, so he should be good to go on Clear.  Looking for Velvcik to have a solid tourney as well and I am officially on the Squirrel train, let’s go Jeff Kriet.  Lastly I’m going with Jared Linter as well, I know he had a close call on the interstate and wrecked his boat, but I look for him to rise like a Phoenix from the flames!

Catch the rest of the detail from our live radio show this past Saturday on the Podast below.   Reviewing the Delta and previewing Clear Lake!  Even a fishing story about Derek Remitz….

Drop me a note in my comments if you like what you hear!


My California Delta Fantasy Fishing Picks

Red River FLW Fantasy Fishing Lineup

Reports from the Red River are of high, muddy and cold water, which usually means tough fishing.  Expect many anglers to struggle, but some will find the right kind of water and you will likely still see some hefty pre-spawn sacks.  So as of now, here is my Fantasy lineup for the Red River.

Loose Threads

Nothing too exciting but here are a couple things I have been meaning to blog about:

I helped collaborate on this Swim Jigs 101 article.

This video and article about winter smallmouth fishing posted a couple weeks ago.

My dad has been sending me some of his better catches from Lake Falcon, here is his biggest of the season so far, sounds like the bite is really picking up!  His batteries were dead in the scale, he is thinking it was close to 10lbs!

Still waiting for ESPN and Bassmaster to open their Fantasy Fishing league for this season.  Other then that, I have not been fishing since December, but I got a trip planned for the last weekend in February!

FLW Fantasy Fishing starts Monday

With all the controversy over the sale of Genmar, I kind of wondered if FLW Fantasy Fishing would see big changes or possibly be gone all together. Fortunately it is not gone, but there are some major changes.  Payouts have been decreased by about 95% when it comes to cash payouts this year over last year.  Don’t get me wrong, they are still paying out some great prizes for a free game!

Winners each week can earn $5,000 and overall winner can win $50,000, plus many other prizes including Cabela’s gift cards and a trip to El Salto!

I always thought that it seemed insane the money that they were giving away, guess somethings are too good to last!  See full press release here.

Either way, I will be hosting a league again where I will give away prizes for each event and for the season.  Check back early next week for sign up information.
