Bassmaster Elite Series

New this year the Bassmaster Elite Series Marshal program, which will allow BASS members to ride along with Bassmaster Elite Series pros during competition throughout the 11-event Elite Series season.

Upon registering for the exclusive opportunity to learn a lifetime of bass fishing tips and techniques from the best in the business, Marshals will be expected to become familiar with tournament rules and to help ensure the integrity of the highest level of professional fishing by reporting rules violations to BASS tournament officials. Thus, they will be required before each event to attend a registration and briefing by BASS officials, who will provide them with copies of BASS rules. During the briefings, Marshals may ask rules-related questions.

As an added bonus, Marshals will also have the opportunity while on the water to operate technological devices that will enhance the sport, including BASSTrakk, a cell-phone based scoring technology, and BASSCast, an onboard camera developed by ESPN Technology, which will broadcast to Bassmaster.com so fans can see more up-to-the-minute action from the top bass fishing pros in the world.

Bass Pro Shops Spring Fishing Classic

Bass Pro Shops in Memphis,TN recently had a fishing classic where I had a chance to meet Stacey King, former BASSmaster classics contestant, who gave a seminar on his fishing tips. He told us about jig fishing, finesse fishing, and much much more. I never knew how nice some of these PRO FISHERMEN could be.

He listened to everyone's questions answered them as best he could, he also tried to sell us everything he was using. He even took a picture with me which I posted at the bottom of this blog.
He taught us how to trim a jig and how to make a crawdad fit on the hook. He explained how to pitch, cast, he told us some surefire techniques for catching bass, and where you are most likely to find them. All in all Stacey King greatly furthered my knowledge of bass fishing.
