From Angler's Press:

As the Yamamoto Big Bass Challenge quickly approaches (May 4th and 5th) on the California Delta, it is for sure that many anglers are anxiously preparing strategies for how to get their hands on one of the thirty cash awards that will be handed out each day – for two days, at what will certainly be one of the most fun and exciting events of the year to be held on the Delta.

And now, getting ready for the Yamamoto Big Bass Challenge just got better, as Gary Dobyns the west’s all time money winner will make a special trip to the Fishermen’s Warehouse in Sacramento this Thursday, April 25th, to conduct an informative seminar designed to help you catch Big Bass on the Delta in the late spring using any of the great Yamamoto baits.

It’s that time of year when everyone says, “It’s that time of year,” again.  Bass anglers start to shake ol’ Man Winter off their boats and think about big bass and sunny days. For some of us, looking outside still shows hard water and snow, but it won’t be long before we are pursuing our dreams of landing a big ol’ hawg, or maybe that day of days when we boat 30 or even 40 good bass.

My number one focus when the weather warms up is to organize my tackle, then inspecting my rods and reels. Next comes the boat and trailer which is last but it surely isn’t the least important. It just isn’t the most exciting. I like to get at the items that get me going off the bat then progress toward the maintenance items which are a bit more time consuming. Taking the time now to get your gear ready for the season will pay off big-time when you land, instead of lose, your first fish.
