<span style="color: #1d7555; font-family: MuseoSans300; line-height: 16px;"><strong><span style="color: black;">What is it?</span></strong></span><br />
Whiskey River’s drop shot special, the 6-inch Whiptail.<br />
<h3>
What does it do?</h3>
It handles finesse fishing duties with aplomb.<br />
<h3>
Why do I need it?</h3>
To show the fish a different drop shot or shaky head worm.<br />
<h3>
How do I use it?</h3>
The thick forward part of the Whiptail is ideal for nose hooking on a drop shot worm, or threading or screwing on a shaky jighead.<br />
<h3>
What sets it apart?</h3>
Most noticeably, the thicker, ribbed portion of the bait is great for handling a hook, while the tapering thin tail portion is all about action. This thread-like terminus is guaranteed to twitch and whip when the slightest action is imparted. Also, the bottom of the Whiptail is flat, like a hand-poured worm.<br />
<h3>
How much?</h3>
$3.19 per 10 pack.<br />

This is a great opportunity to give younger anglers, who may not have had the chance otherwise, a chance to fish competitive bass tournaments.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

I finished that tournament 132 out of 181 anglers, but that didn’t faze me. I was told I was not ready, but being a stubborn and driven teenager I did not listen. When you have a love for a sport you want to succeed and those people saying I was not ready only fueled my engine to become better.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><br />

My advice for anyone who wants to take their fishing to the next level is DO IT! It may be an expensive learning experience, but I believe it is well worth it; The amount you learn in one event will benefit your fishing abilities tremendously.

</span></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Largemouth bass, one of the most often sought after game fish, are predators and you can greatly increase your success of catching them by learning to think like them. A bass has to rely on its skills as a hunter to eat and there are several things you can do to increase your chances of tricking one into eating your bait. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.utahdiving.com/pics/d-sold3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="147" src="http://www.utahdiving.com/pics/d-sold3.jpg" width="200" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Always consider where you are fishing and what the bass are eating in that aquatic ecosystem. Often times they will be feeding on shad, bluegill or crawfish. Pick a bait that most closely imitates their current primary forage and you will be well on your way to catching more bass. Pay attention to clues that you can see to help you determine what forage is most prevalent. If the bass are guarding eggs/fry and there are hundreds of bluegill trying to invade their nests then guess what they’re eating. If you are fishing riprap, know that there are hundreds of crawfish crawling among the rocks. If you notice balls of shad swimming around the cove you are fishing, I can guarantee you that bass are close by and are eating shad. Get the idea? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.bassfishingandcatching.com/images/lmhabitat21142.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://www.bassfishingandcatching.com/images/lmhabitat21142.jpg" width="200" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Bass also hide to ambush their prey. When we pursue deer, turkey, ducks, etc. we dress in camouflage and hunt out of blinds, tree stands, or place a large object between us and our game. Bass are no different. They will hide next to root balls, docks, aquatic vegetation, and rock piles to help camouflage themselves. They even have the ability to change colors like a chameleon to hide from their prey. Always be aware of the available cover in an area and how much light is penetrating the water. Think of how you would hide in a given environment and this will help you determine where a bass will be hanging out.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.bassfishingmatrix.com/images/catch5timesbassphoto.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="157" src="http://www.bassfishingmatrix.com/images/catch5timesbassphoto.JPG" width="200" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Water temperature is another important factor in helping you determine how a bass will behave. They are cold blooded meaning their body temperature changes according to the environment. In warmer water their body temperature will be warmer and conversely the colder the water the colder the body temperature. Their metabolism increases with the water temperature so the warmer it is the more they need to eat. A bass is generally more active in warm water and will often times be more apt to chase after a meal.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">These are just a few of the variables that determine what and when a bass will eat. There are many more of them that we may never understand. However, if you focus on forage, cover, temperature, and how each one of them affects the activity of a bass, you will find yourself with a tight line more frequently.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hey guys its that time of year again. The boats will be coming out soon. Whether you have a bass boat with a big engine or a small john boat with a small outboard, you owe it to yourself, your engine, and your fishing partner to make sure it is in top running condition. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here are a few things you can do to help keep your engine in good running order:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">1) Make sure you have the enough oil. If you pre-mix your gas and oil, always mix a little more oil then needed. This will smoke a little more, but will guarantee to keep your engine form seizing.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">2) Inspect your impeller and water pump housing and make sure they are in good working condition. they are not functioning properly your engine will overheat.This is the most common cause of motor problems. On big engine they should be replaced at least every other season. If you run your boat shallow, sandy, or muddy areas this should be done every year.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">3) Replace your spark plugs. New spark plugs will help your motor start on every turn of the key or crank of the flywheel.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">4) New fuel filters are a must these days. Fresh filters will help keep your spark plugs and carburetors from fouling out.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">5) Lastly, with today's gasoline containing 10% ethanoI, T IS A MUST TO USE a fuel stabilizer with every fill-up. There are several types such as StarTron, Sea Foam, or my favorite, Stabil Ethanol treatment. It does not matter which you use, but it does matter that you use one. This will prevent major problems down the road. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Keep these few tips in mind this spring when you head out for your first fishing trip. They will keep your engine running strong and keep you out on the water.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whiskey River Bait Company's Outlaw Angler, <b>Brian Jones</b>, talks about his favorite, go to technique for catching bass under tough conditions - the Shaky Head Finesse Rig.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Soft plastics are my favorite go to baits. When fishing conditions get tough or in highly pressured waters, soft plastics are the category I will often choose to catch fish. They are available is a wide variety of styles, colors, scents, sizes and materials. Soft plastics can be fished in every section of the water column from top water to dragging along the bottom and everywhere in between. They are perfect from open water to the thickest cover, for most any species of fish and in any water temperature. No other type of artificial lure can match the lifelike action and realism of the soft plastic bait. Whether you are fishing a shaky head, Carolina rig, Texas rig, tube, grub, swimbait, frog, flipping mats, or simply adding a trailer, soft plastic baits are where it’s at!</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">My favorite soft plastic rig is the shaky head. I prefer a worm/jig head combination that will let the worm stand upright. </span><span style="font-size: small;"> The upright worm allows for a lot of action with very little movement of the bait, allowing you to keep it in the strike zone longer. I generally use a 3/16 oz. jig head and will adjust the weight according to the depth. One of my favorite worms for this technique is the <a href="http://stores.whiskeyriverbaits.com/-strse-WHIIPTAIL/Categories.bok">Whiptail</a> from Whiskey River Bait Company. This worm has an incredible amount of action and a fantastic upright position. I will always use fluorocarbon line which allows greater feel of the bait and easier detection of a bite.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">A shaky head is normally fished with a spinning rod on 6-10 lb line, using the lightest line you can get away with. Simply cast this rig out and allow it to fall to the bottom. Be alert as often the fish will grab it on the initial fall. Shake your rod tip to impart action to the worm without moving it off of the bottom. Periodically pick up the worm, move it a few feet and repeat the shaking motion. Pay attention to your line for any irregular movements that generally indicate a fish has picked up your bait. Often the fish will pick up the worm and swim off with it. A nice sweep of the rod will be all it takes to get a good hook set. This technique will catch fish of any size and is often times the best way to fill the live well quickly.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Post from Outlaw Angler, Ben Cayer:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L-CcZ1Fm4W8/TWPprSou88I/AAAAAAAAAQI/deFDX3KdD-I/s1600/Ben2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L-CcZ1Fm4W8/TWPprSou88I/AAAAAAAAAQI/deFDX3KdD-I/s200/Ben2.jpg" width="200" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This past season I fished my first Vermont state team qualifier as a non-boater. Since I am too old now to fish in the junior championship, I decided that I would fish it and try to fish with the big dogs. The tournament launched out of Malletts Bay on Lake Champlain on August 21<sup>st</sup>. and 22<sup>nd</sup>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">When the first day of the tournament rolled around it was shaping up to be a nice day for fishing. My boater for the day was Larry Blow, a truly great guy. We had a blast finesse fishing for smallmouth and largemouth all day. At the end of the day we both weighed in about 12 pounds. This put us both in 9<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup> place at the end of day one. To make the state team as a non-boater you must place in the top 12 and the top 6 qualify as boaters. I was feeling pretty good that I was at least in contention to make the team. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S4K0eCeE0-g/TWPn4G99YeI/AAAAAAAAAQE/Kmo4hpSsW7U/s1600/DSCF1090.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S4K0eCeE0-g/TWPn4G99YeI/AAAAAAAAAQE/Kmo4hpSsW7U/s320/DSCF1090.JPG" width="320" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Day two was rainy, but I was still optimistic because I was fishing with Tom Collouitti. We made a run north that morning to a place that we were both sure we could catch some fish early. I landed a 4+ and a 1.5lb. smallmouth at this spot. It felt good to get that big kicker fish in the boat early in the day because I knew that all I needed to do was finish my limit and I would most likely make the team. We continued fishing, and he pulled a 1.5 pound largemouth. We made a move to one of his favorite docks on the entire lake. I let him fish it for a while and then he told me that I should fish it. So I made a cast to the corner of the dock. As my shakey head settled to the bottom I felt a bite. I set the hook and it barely even moved. I could see the fish flashing around under the dock; my line was caught in the chain. I finally managed to land the fish after it took me in and around a motor prop and back into the chain that I was originally stuck in. That fish weighed 5-2 and was the lunker of the tournament. I scraped out a limit throughout the rest of the day, including a 3+ largemouth on a HOSS and a few fish on a craw. I weighed in 16-6 for the day, and came in fourth place overall. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I had such a great time fishing this tournament. I learned a lot and realized that I could compete with the big guys. I am looking forward to fishing the TBF Eastern Divisional tournament on Sebago Lake in Maine. I can see Whiskey River Whiptail being one of my primary baits for dropshotting there!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

We traveled down to North Carolina’s Jordan Lake to practice for this tournament and found some good, productive areas to fish. When we returned in November for the event, went to some our areas and it was certain that we would be able to catch a few bass over the next 3 days. We decided to leave our fish alone and just hit some areas that looked similar and we had a great day. We landed 5 fish that would have gone over 15 pounds, but this was just practice.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">On day one we were absolutely pumped and ready to catch fish on buzzbaits and a big spinnerbait. We arrived at our main spot only to find that there were absolutely no fish to be found. So we moved on to another spot that we had practiced and once again we could not find a bass. We finally decided to try and fish some of the things that we had done before and catch some of those bass. After running all over and fishing the points where we had found fish the day before, the day ended and we did not even have a fish to weigh. Not the way we expected to start the event.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MnTOQqFNKgU/TWPTQVEeFAI/AAAAAAAAAP0/L8XY5llUgjM/s1600/121.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MnTOQqFNKgU/TWPTQVEeFAI/AAAAAAAAAP0/L8XY5llUgjM/s320/121.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Day 2 came bright and early and we were planning on repeating the 15 pounds we had just barley caught a day ago. If we could pull 18 pounds out we thought we might have a chance at making the top 5. We decided to try a stretch of rip-rap that was really close to our main spot. We made a quick rundown throwing spinner baits and crankbaits. We came up to a log that was half in the water and I made a cast with the ¾ oz spinner bait and nothing. As normal, I threw back in and placed it gently right up next to the top of where the log enters the water. I made 3 cranks and I thought I got stuck on the log, turns out, it was a bass. No way, I could not believe it! We netted the 2.5 lb bass and we thought we were well on our way. We moved into the nearby creek where we wanted to try a few different things. No luck.</span><br />

We could not get a single bite. We talked to a few other teams who were slowing down and they were getting bit. We moved south on the lake into the rivers. The water was moving some and we thought we might get into a stable school of fish that might eat. We changed tactics all together and Ben picked up a spinning rod, and I was pitching a jig to the rocks and wood down through the winding banks. We were beginning to catch some fish which was good, but we were not catching those 3-4 lb fish we were looking for.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Before we had come down the second time to fish, we were planning on a Plan B, in case our big fish baits were not working, or we could not find fish. We were thinking about throwing smaller baits and fishing slower. But, in our defense we did go out and whack the fish that we were looking for the previous day, so it was mighty difficult to change that pattern, especially when 20 pounds was not out of reach. We made a decision to stick with the big bites and it killed us. We learned a lot about that lake and feel we could do it all over again with different results. It certainly was an experience we will never forget and qualifying for the Regional Event 2 years in a row is nothing to be ashamed of either. We have done very well in these events and still have a few more season to get where we want to be in the National Championship.</span></div>Whiskey River Bait Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14379609071166227959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425480195433805140.post-6542125383304600292011-02-23T12:17:00.000-08:002011-02-26T06:46:46.326-08:00Video Series: "The Wild Life with Hank III"<div></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zfo8wU7L5bQ/TWVr_HjueCI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/nU4Pm3R7L6A/s1600/BADASS2_Hank3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zfo8wU7L5bQ/TWVr_HjueCI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/nU4Pm3R7L6A/s320/BADASS2_Hank3.jpg" width="211" /></a>This is a great little video series that Hank III is doing with Field and Stream Magazine.

I am very excited to be able to tell y'all about a great, new sponsor that I have for the 2011 tournament season -<a href="http://www.denalirods.com/"> Denali Rods</a>. These rods are so beautiful! The foregrips on each series are made from exotic, stabilized hardwood which gives them a nice, custom look. Each series in the Denali Rods line-up has technique specific rods so you can get the performance you need with a price you can afford.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"> So far, my favorite is the<a href="http://denalirods.com/noirwood-2.aspx"> Noirwood series</a>. These rods are well worth the investment. They are the lightest, most sensitive rods I have used. I am also excited to fish the<a href="http://denalirods.com/rosewoodmatrix.aspx"> Rosewood Series</a> Swimbait Rod. And don't overlook the <a href="http://denalirods.com/jadewood-2.aspx">Jadewood Series</a> - these are fantastic rods that will not break your budget.</div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
