BassMaster Classic Thats right folks, its not too soon to be thinking about the bassmaster classic. This weeks the pros are in North Carolina at Lake Wylie during the last week of allowable practice. The lake goes off limits this Friday for 30 days. Ben Matsubu, Kelly Jordon and Art Ferguson III are keeping BMC Journals for us. We are posting the results of their week of fishing at ProBassAnglers.com.

Let's Be Careful Out There! We are reminded once again to never take mother nature for granted. At least three people were killed, with several others being seriously injured at Georgia's Lake Lanier this past weekend when lightening struck a group at the popular recreation area. When the skies start getting dark and the thunder starts rollin, lets get off the water and live to fish another day.

Yamaha Comes Through! If you have been following the Fred Roumbanis saga, then you know that he was high and dry after apparently blowing his engine on Friday. Fred is not a member of Yamaha's Pro Team, he is a customer like you and I, so needless to say, with his entire trip East in the balance, he was a little more than concerned that he would be given help by the Yamaha support team. When the crew arrived on Monday, Fred was there at 7:30 AM. Three hours later, they had him back on the water "good as new."
Yamaha has demonstrated that they care about everybody and Fred is fishing today with a very good chance at making the top 50 and cashing a $10,000.00 check. Great Job Yamaha!

We Are Back!Things should be back to normal, or at least as close as possible. By now you probably know that Kevin Van Dam won the E-50 tour. In doing so, he out distanced the best bass anglers in recent history which kind of puts Kevin where everyone thinks he belongs...at the top of bass fishing! Oh, by the way, Alton Jones won the last event at Paducah, Kentucky.
Fred Roumbanis has had a streak of bad luck. He has blown his Yamaha engine while practicing at Lake Champlain. As of yesterday, Fred has not been able to fish in two days. This is going to be a major test for the Yamaha people. As you know, Fred keeps his tour report (pro tour journal,) on our web site. This will be a major opportunity for Yamaha to demonstrate its support for anglers. We will keep you posted on how Yamaha deals with this situation.

The Final E-50 Of The Short, 4 Event Tour Gets Started on Wednesday in Kentucky. I have a very hard time thinking that Mark Davis won't be in there at the end, I think he will be. Word is that the water is high, which makes me think it will be be a shallow water flipping type bite. Perhaps Greg Hackney breaks through at this event. Denny Brauer could also be the man if it comes down to flippin, as could Gary Klein.
These E-50's have been a lot of fun, and with this week, the tour's top prize of $150,000 is on the line. Stay tuned.

Caught Up Briefly With Fred Roumbanis Today. Fred is driving to New York and has made it as far as Cheyenne Wyoming. This is going to be a long drive (he left yesterday.) Fred has been back and forth several times this year, however he hasn't toured the Northern States yet, so this is all new. His cell phone cut out in the middle of our discussion, so we will wait until he checks back in. He sounded good!
We Should Be Up Today! Look for our new look! We should be up today. This week's "On The Water" is a good one, Mark Davis, (yeah he has been on the show a lot,) explains his "Hunting and Gathering" technique, while Steve Kennedy explains why his fish were bunched up along a point at the mouth of a creek.
