WESTERN KY (2/21/12) – Hello again, folks! I hope you are having a blessed week. Let’s kick off the season and go out and catch some large Bass this spring.
The weather is great and the fishing is hot this year. If you are looking to land a trophy Bass, now is the time to get out and get them. The fish have ate all winter long and are as fat as a big old dog tick.
This week, my good friend Blake Ainsworth headed out and caught some really nice Bass. I know Blake has been fishing these warm days for about a month with great success. Blake is an avid outdoorsman and you will always find him lingering around the woods. You may see him duck hunting, deer hunting, Bass fishing, and I think he is a turkey hunter as well. Blake is the prize winner of the Sportsmen for Christ 2011 Big Buck Contest. I will be looking for him toward the top during our spring 2012 Turkey Contest as well. Congrats, Blake, on your outdoor trophies. God has blessed you over the years.
Starting out, let me tell you what to be casting this fishing season. The Alabama rig is the hottest thing on the market right now. It will run about $25.00, beyond the price of the bait and hooks. I bought a similar rig made by Yum over the weekend at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Paducah. I paid $14.00 for the rig and $8.00 for the baits. You can pick them up here in Madisonville at the Winding Creek Bait Shop over on Eastview. Stop by and say hello to Barb and tell her that I sent you. She has made several changes to the store for the 2012 fishing season. She carries everything from hunting and fishing license to all the top gear.
The best part about it is the friendly service you always get when you go in and see everyone that runs the shop.
Get out this spring and catch that huge bass within the next two months. Until next week, God bless and be safe.
Be sure and join us on April 28 for the Sportsmen for Christ Fishing Tournament. It will be held at Lake Beshear from 6:30 AM until 2:00 PM. See everyone for some fun and fellowship. The cost is $40.00 per boat and $10.00 per person/big bass.
