To those of us who know Joe Lucarelli, and have fished against him for years, his recent Northern EverStart win at 1000 Islands is not much of a surprise. The only surprise is that he hasn't won more events. Joe has been a very consistent tournament angler, balancing a day job as a salesman for HK Powersports, while regularly cashing big checks on Lake Champlian and Erie.
Joe won a BASS Top 150 back on Champlain in 2005, but the top slot has eluded him since then. He and his father, Steve Lucarelli, famously finished first and second several years ago on Champlain, but the elder Lucarelli edged his son at that event. “It’s always tough to finish second, but it was great for Dad and I to finish one-two” Joe said, though he admitted, “To be so close so many times was starting to get to me.”

So Simple It Just Plain Evaded Me

With full credit and deep respect to the late Lord Richard Buckley, and most especially to the poet laureate of sand, sailboats and all things Margarita, Mr. Jimmy Buffett, I stole these words from the classic piece—“God’s Own Drunk”. No, friends and neighbors, I’m not suggesting to any of you that you take up drinking, run a still, or for that matter, try to run Brother Bear off the hill--- (you’d have to know this song to understand all of this) ---but with regard to fishing and catching the slimy little critters. There are some techniques around that are described by the quote above. They are just so simple that they somehow evade us, in our search for the new and the technically advanced.

With Nothing Left to Prove, Yamamoto Looks to Prove Something at Lanier

This week Gary Yamamoto will turn 69 years old, an age at which many men are content to sit in an easy chair, watching time pass by, settling for the the occasional round of golf. On first impression, the laconic Yamamoto, still athletically trim at this advanced age, might give off the impression that he’s headed that way, but that perception couldn’t be further from the truth. At just a hair shy of 70, he’s experienced a career renaissance, qualifying for his fourth Forrest Wood Cup, and his first tour championship event since 2007.
He’ll head to Georgia’s Lake Lanier, site of the Cup, with a full head of steam.

The Kut-Tail Floppy Rig

My friend Dave Roberts lives by the motto, “there’s nothing you can’t improve”. He’s constantly experimenting with new ways to rig lures, tie knots, or trick out his boat. Handily, his improvements are most often inexpensive, easy to use and they work.
His latest fishing rig improvement is what we have been calling “the Floppy Rig”. In short, it’s a Kut-Tail Worm rigged on a jighead that produces a unique action. It works very well in clear water, and while it’s similar to the jighead wacky rig, it has a much different action.

Beatin' the Bank with Bernie Schultz - BASS Elite Series Toledo Bend

Driving hard for more than nine hours, my mind was beginning to wander. I tried thinking about Toledo Bend—my destination and site of the next BASS Elite Series event—but my thoughts drifted aimlessly. I was completely drained, yet I still had five more hours to go.
This was only the beginning of a five-week road trip and I obviously wasn't prepared mentally…or emotionally. It was the first of June—the time when both of my sons get out of school for the summer. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t be around to take them fishing. And there were other obligations, too—all of which would have to be put on hold.
