Steve Fisher tells a great story about the Hungry Trout resort up in Wilmington, NY.
The annual City Park Big Bass Rodeo & Fishtival is coming up on March 29th at New Orleans City Park. The rodeo is in its 67th year and organizers call it the oldest freshwater rodeo in the country. With over 700 anglers registered in the rodeo last, you can bet there will be a great turnout this year as well. They’ve added a new division this year, perfect for kayak fishermen, called Boats on the Bayou, which is limited to non-motorized vessels fishing in Bayou St. John, between Harrison Ave. and Robert E. Lee Blvd. Registration for the event is $15, you can find information regarding rules and registration here: http://www.neworleanscitypark.com/big-bass-fishing-rodeo-and-fishtival/boats-on-the-bayou-registration.
I plan to fish it and hope you do too, it should be a great time!
Update: The trailer for GEOBASS has disappeared from Youtube, but you can still find the episodes through the Motiv Fishing page
This looks to be a good follow up to GEOFISH and should be equally entertaining. Here’s the description from the Youtube page for the trailer:
“GEOFISH, in a continuing worldwide saga will cover the globe to search, find and explore the greatest waters never fished in #GEOBASS. Visit http://bit.ly/geobass to learn more.
The “Trout Bums”, Thad Robison, Brian Jill, Jay Johnson and Chris Owens, star in the GeoFish series as it documents the lifestyles, adventures, mishaps, and camaraderie of four expedition anglers on an around the world epic journey. This time they’ve got their sights set on one species in particular — BASS!”
I don’t think the author of that last line understands how many different types of “bass” there are. Still it should be a pretty good flick.
