Tournament Bass Angler
Gary Heads East to Fish for the First Time since 2005. . .
FLW Tour - National Guard Open - Lake Norman, NC
Moorpark, CA - 04-15-08
Gary got the news today from FLW Outdoors that he is off the wait list and is confirmed to fish as a Co-Angler in the FLW Outdoors - FLW Tour - National Guard Open at Lake Norman, NC April 24th through April 27th.
He is scheduled to leave Southern California on Friday, April 18th and fly to North Carolina to get in four days of practice before the event begins April 24th (the 23rd is an off-limits day).
Gary is looking forward to the trip and taking his Western Techniques for a spin on Lake Norman. Gary's friend and team partner, Tony Hatten, recently moved to Huntersville, NC and was able to sample the fishery using one of the techiques that has been working extremely well in Southern California. Tony reports that the technique was extremely productive at Lake Norman the week before the lake went off-limits to National Guard Open competitors.

Using 3:16 Lure Co. Wake Bait Jr. at Lake Casitas
Oak View, CA - 05-20-07
It was a nice quiet foggy Sunday morning on beautiful Lake Casitas near Oak View, CA. I am just out trying out my new investment, a 3:16 Lure Company Wake Bait Jr. swimbait. I lob the bait out past the point of a tule line. I am mesmerized by the ticking of the bait as it wallows lazily past the point of the tules as I am just enjoying the tranquility of the moment, a nice respite from the rigors of tournament angling…then all of a sudden the "toilet flushes", the mesmerizing ticking is gone, my rod is trying to leap from my hands…I start to grind into the fish and sweep the rod to drive the hooks in one fluid motion as my instincts take over, my heart starts racing as the fish comes up and jumps!
