Lake Havasu Bass Fishing

The other side of sponsorship – Lake Mohave

The Other Side of Sponsorship
By: Steve Masters – Bringitbaits.com

It seems that most tournament fishermen are willing to stop just short of selling their souls to be sponsored. I was recently on a website that had several tournament fishermen listed and their sponsors. Some of these guys had eight or ten sponsors and have never left the ranks of the weekend tournament circuits. Out of curiosity and maybe a bit of envy I started looking at some of the pro staff sections of their sponsor’s websites. I stopped looking after three.

Building A Better Brush Pile – Lake Mohave

Building a Better Brush Pile

by Steve Masters, Bringitbaits.com ProStaff

If you really want to get serious about setting out brush piles prepare yourself for some hard work, but it can pay off big later. Bass will use brush piles throughout the year but the heat of summer and winter are the prime times to fill your live well with brush pile bass or turn that 14 pound limit into a 20 pound sack with a big brush pile kicker. I’m not advocating breaking any laws but the ol chain saw and pruning shears method is hard to beat. About the best way to legally get and sink trees is asking someone clearing a lot off for construction for the ones they cut. They had rather give them to you than have to deal with them themselves almost every time. Another way for me at Lake Mitchell was after a tornado had gone through; there were prime hardwoods of all sizes along the bank blown over. A lot of my brush piles are large trees I’ve found floating down the river. If I’m just out fishing for fun I usually have a few concrete blocks in the floor of my boat just in case. You’ll probably be surprised how much you can find to sink if you get in the habit of looking for it while on the lake.
