BassMaster
University
(Tulsa, OK) March 1 & 2, 2003
Greg Myers
I was privileged
enough to attend the BassMaster University in Tulsa on March 1st and
2nd, 2003. The schooling was packed full of information and was an
enjoyable 2 days of classes.
The 1st day's
speakers were Zell Rowland, Ken Cook and Joe Thomas. Subjects
covered were spinnerbaits, in-line spinnerbaits, crankbaits, top
water, worm fishing and advanced worm fishing. Zell Rowland went
over topwater fishing and how to modify topwater lures. Ken Cook
covered spinnerbaits and crankbaits on how to modify them to get the
most productive lure for the type of fishing that was needed to
catch bass at that time of year. Joe Thomas went over soft plastic
baits and how to fish them along with advanced worm fishing tips and
techniques.
The second day's speakers were
Denny Brauer, Guido Hibdon and Don Iovino. Denny Brauer covered jig
fishing and how to fish when the fish were inactive and tight to
cover. Denny also covered how to fish a jig in all types of cover
including vegetation and laydowns and boat control. Guido Hibdon
covered fishing with the Guido Bug and the G-4 along with using the
right equipment for certain types of lures. Guido also covered sight
fishing for Bass and using jigs when fishing. Don Iovino covered
finesse fishing in depth and how to use sonar and GPS in fishing for
Bass.
There were videos,
lures, books, etc. for sale at the University. I purchased several
video tapes and books along with some lures that I had not been able
to find in the Tulsa area.
Would I recommend attending the
BassMaster University? I would whole heartedly recommend these
classes to anyone that is interested in becoming a better Bass
angler.
