An Update Since ICAST

After my return from ICAST, I became very ill. No appetite. Dropped about 20 pounds, and for those of you that know me personally, I don't have 20 lbs to loose. Energy level dropped to zero and I literally thought I was dying. Then my distance vision went south and a trip to the eye doctor showed a cataract that had to come out. But that is later on so I won't ramble on it right now. lol
Well, I have had just about every medical test known and still do not have an answer as to what caused my weight loss and all of the other symptoms I had. What I did do was take two of Terry's laxatives and after that I felt better. Makes you wonder doesn't it. lol Spent around 2k on test, when I could have been cured for 2.95. Appetite has improved, I'm back at work, and my energy is slowly coming back. This is why you haven't seem much from me over the last few months. I'm very anxious to get back on the water doing what I love and that's BASS FISHING!
The cataract surgery was a success and right now I do not have to wear glasses but to read. Let me tell you to take good care of your eyes. Glaucoma took my right eye back in 1986 and I have done all I do with just my left since them. Go see your optometrist at least once a year and make sure they check the pressure in your eyes. Anything over twenty needs attention. Medical science has vastly improved over the cataract surgery as they didn't even put me out during the operation. No stitches, no pain and best of all I can see again.
Well, I've gone on long enough and like I said, I'm looking to be back in the swing of things soon so stay tuned. Good luck and good fishing!

HatCams at ICAST

The Camera Heads in Las Vegas

At ICAST, the HatCams gang made quite a showing. Not only did we have a great booth location, but everywhere we went with our HatCams on, people were asking questions. It was a great show and experience. We made lots of great contacts and some friends along the way as well. One fellow we met dubbed us "The Camera Heads" and it stuck. Could be a cult following? Are you a Camera Head? If not visit www.hatcams.com and see what all the fuss is about.

The Z-Bone from Kistler Rods

Well, we had a blast at ICAST and i was fortunate to be in a booth right across from Kistler Rods. I was able to interview Trey Kistler on the new Z-Bone rod, which on a scale of one to ten weighs a minus 2. This has to be the lightest fishing rod I have ever held in my hand. It is all American made as Kister teamed up with the legendary Gary Loomis to develope the composites for the new rods. Here's the interview. Enjoy!, and as Kistler says "Fishing never felt so good"

The tackle shop is being revamped and should be fully operational by fall. once completed there would be nowhere else that you would need to venture to find anything else for your trip. There is also a lodge that sleeps 16 and a meeting room as they can assist you in hosting a tournament. You can visit Oak Ridge online at www.oakridgemarina.com , Come visit with these fine folks as they will treat you so many ways you are bound to like one of them. Here's an overview of the property.

Uses for Bow to Stern Protectant

Here's a short video I did for Bow to Stern Protectant. The uses for this product go on and on. I treated my boat seats with BTS at the beginning of the season and have had no issues with fading, or mildew at all. It will act as a water repellant for your boat carpet and make golf carts and yard equipment shine like new. Dirt and grime wash off with a garden hose. Bugs on bumpers? Just watch!

El Grande Lures Hatch-Match Series Released!

The Hatch-Match Stick is a 5 1/4" soft plastic, salted stick bait. The profile is cigar shaped and covered in lifelike scales. The Hatch-Match Stick is soft, but yet very durable and scented with El Grande Tequila. Many additional colors to be released soon. Our staff begged to do an early release on this bait in three primary colors as it has been responsible for huge catches of fish during the test phase. The Hatch Match series of lures is just begining with more new and innovative lures coming this year from El Grande. This is a great lure for T-rigging or C-riggin and can be thrown weightless or weighted. I would suggest using a 4/0 or 5/0 EWG hook with these lures. This has worked very well for me and is just a suggestion. You can't see the quality of these lures in a photo, but oncce you get them in your hand, on your hook, and the the fish's mouth, you'll see exactly what we are talking about.

The Hatch-Match, along with the Sapo (toad), new EGL tubes, and the Gila Monster (lizard) are taking the countries waters by storm. I'm getting testimonials everyday about catches, tournament placing, etc. off of EGL lures. The colors and durability of these plastics, IMO, are of the finest I've ever fished, and I invite you to visit us at www.elgrandelures.com and tell em, Allen sent you.

Mike's Original Recipe is now available to everyone. This product has been around since 1985, but never really marketed until now. Check out www.fishcandies.com for all the info. Garlic, Licorice, Koffee, and other scents are available from Mike's. If you would like to get some, just contact me and I'll be glad to place your order. I have used these scents with good sucess, and have used them on all types of lures. For me it has really been effective on spinnerbait skirts and plastics. If you are interested in joining Mike's staff, just send me your email address and I'll let mike know. Here's a short Video of what this product can do!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 2, 2010


Coulterville, IL – Today El Grande Lures of Linton, Indiana announced that Chad Morgenthaler, an FLW Tour pro from Coulterville, Illinois, has joined the company’s pro-staff.

The timing couldn’t be better. With FLW Tour season about to commence on Louisiana’s Red River, Morgenthaler is on the hunt for monster bass. Fortunately, El Grande’s products should give him the edge he needs. The company’s lures are most frequently used on the big bass factories of Texas and Louisiana, but they’ll work anywhere that trophy bass swim.

“I’m really excited about the opportunity to work with a great soft plastics company like El Grande Lures,” Morgenthaler said. “I hope to play an instrumental part in helping to brand and market their products as they broaden and expand their business plan. It is always an honor to be included in the design process while a company ‘tweaks’ their products to maximize their effectiveness.”

El Grande’s owner, Jay Schurz, said the following: “We are excited about this partnership as Chad will be instrumental in working directly with me in product design. Chad fully understands our niche in the market, which is creating big soft plastics with industry leading color schemes. We look forward to many years of working with Chad and hope to be an integral part of helping Chad achieve his goals."

El Grande Lures currently has three products in its lineup:
The Gila Monster, an 8 ¾ inch lizard that can be Carolina rigged or Texas rigged;
The El Grande Tube, a flipping tube meant to handle the toughest cover and fish around; and
El Grande Sapo, a soft plastic toad that churns the water like a buzzbait.
All three lures are available in standard colors as well as some patterns unique to El Grande.

Be a Donor

Well, Terry and I have been at our yearly In-Service (school) this week and today 11-12-09, we had a guest speaker. Ms. Hope Guidry-Groves with the "Be a Match" Foundation talked to us about donating bone marrow. Her story touched Terry and I so deeply that we signed up on the spot. If you have known, or have had someone in your family affected by any of the blood related Cancers, you would appreciate the activities of this organization. They keep the DNA profiles of over 7 million people on file and this data base is constantly searching its files for matches relating to bone marrow transplants. Donors must match 10 points on the DNA to be selected as a possible match for someone needing the transplant. It doesn't cost you a penny to join this database nor does it cost you if you are selected. The organization will pay for everything related to your donor ship. The marrow you donate could be what saves another person's life, and gives them back the time they would have lost with family, children, etc. A small amount of pain, (after the donation) to me is a small price to pay to give someone their life back. I will be posting a link to this website in the LINKS portion of my site, so please visit them and sign up. You never know..................it might be someone you love or care about that will need your marrow to save their life.

Toyota Tundra Classic w/ HatCams

From October 16th to October 18th I was at Lake Conroe with the HatCams Gang at the Toyota Tundra Bass Classic. This was a great expo and tournament, and Toyota really put on a good show. There were numerous booths and exhibits ranging from Insurance to water safety, jewelry to sunglasses and all types of fishing equipment, lures, rods and boats. I was in the booth with HatCams. This is a new company that has a great new product. Randy Peterson, the owner, patented a tripod camera mount on a cap. This in turn holds a pocket camcorder. This unique combination allows the user to video without having to hold a video camera in their hands. ANYTHING you would want to record, where you need both hands free, this product is the ticket. You can find Randy and HatCams at http://www.hatcams.com/ and I invite you to check them out. The uses for this product are endless as Randy told me that they have videos coming in to their site that include, fishing, hunting, instructionals on how to do different things, and folks just playing with the kids. I use this product myself to video lure demos. HatCams offers two different cameras on their website, but any small pocket camcorder will work as long as it has a tripod mount on the bottom.

Getting back to the Expo, Evan Williams was on hand, as was Dick's Sporting good, but overall I was impressed with the Charity that the PAA and Toyota were donating to with the proceeds. The Catch a Dream Foundation makes dreams come true for terminally ill children who have a love for hunting, fishing, and other field related sports. These fine folks will schedule a hunting or fishing trip for these kids, hook them up with an outfitter or guide, and give them the opportunity to hunt and fish for trophies as this might be the last time they would ever get to have an adventure of this magnitude. As I was talking to Mr. Marty Brunson, with the foundation, I got to thinking about someone I knew that had a child that passed away without ever getting to do any of the things he might have wanted to do. Please visit their website, http://catchadream.org/index.html and if you could anyway assist this organization, do not hesitate in contacting Mr. Brunson.
Over all the show was a success. Met a lot of very fine people and I am proud to say that I am now also sponsored by Fish Eyes Sunglasses as a result of this show. I already have a link to them on the site here, so check them out for all your sunglasses needs. I'm already looking forward to next year.

More Poly Wog Frog action

I just can't seem to say enough about the Poly Wog Frog from Vicious Fishing. If you like frog fishing, and I do, you can't go wrong with this little frog from Vicious. The color combos are Watermelon Red, Green pumpkin/ white, Bullfrog, and Black/ yellow. These and all other Vicious products can be seen at http://www.vicious-fishing.com/ I rig these frogs on a 4/0 or 5/0 frog hook with a hitch hiker. My hook of choice is either Gammy or Owner. Hope you enjoy.

El Grande Lures Gila Monster

This is the El Grande Lures Gila Monster. It is an 8-3/4" paddle tail lizard that is perfectly symetrical. There is no flat side as is found on other lizards. This lure can be Texas rigged, Carolina rigged, fished weighted, or weightless. I recomend using a 5/0 or 6/0 EWG hook when fishing this lure. Braided lline is also a must for the durability and strength needed to pull "horse" a fish out of heavy cover. You'll see what I mean in the video as I get wrapped up by a good size fish. This lure currently comes in 4 colors. Watermelon/red flake, Black/Blue flake, Green pumpkin/Black flake, and Motor Oil. There will be more colors to come. The Gila is going to be a great lure to utilize during the spawn. Drop this lure in a bed and get ready to hang on!

Gila Monster vs Blue Heron

This is a comical short video. I was demonstrating the El Grande Lures Gila Monster and a Blue Heron was standing in the water close to where I was fishing. The rest is history.

Vicious Poly Wog Frog

This is a video of how to fish the Vicious Poly Wog Frog. I like these frogs over the Ribbit as I feel they give more gurgle on the leg action than the Ribbit does. There is no hook slot on the back of the frog, but simply an indention that allows the hook to lay flat on the frog's back. I have not missed a hookup using the frogs, where I would miss hooksets while using the Ribbit, and IMO, this is due to the hook slot that is on the back of the Ribbit being too tight.. Hope you enjoy the video.

Magee's Sporting Goods

If you ever find yourself in Groveton, TX, go to the intersection of US Hwy 287 and State Hwy 94. There you will find Magee's Grocery, Sporting Goods, and Liquor. The folks at Magee's are just good down home people, and the Owner, Jenny Magee, has been in business at the same location for over 34 years. I spent the day Saturday,03-28-09, helping Jenny get her lure selection in order and stocked one complete wall with El Grande Lures and Minda Lures. Don't let the size of the store fool you. They have a little of everything that you would need for your campsite, fishing trip, hunting trip, or the Saturday night party. Whatever your fishing needs from seines and trot lines to current bass fishing lures and supplies, you can find it here at Magee's. Jenny is really working with different distributors to stock a well rounded sporting goods inventory to fit the season. We are planning on hosting some seminars and lure demonstrations in the near future and hope to draw folks to the area as Magee's is right in the middle of the big three, Sam Rayburn, Lake Livingston, and Lake Conroe. Other places to fish around this area include White Rock Creek, Neches River, Angelina River, Harmon Creek, Trinity River, and numerous smaller lakes and private ponds. So whether it's taking the kids perch jerking, or a serious bass tournament you are going to, Magee's will have the last minute items that you need to round out your trip.

Triggerfish - by Think Tank Lures

I saw this lure at the Classic Expo. Their booth was right next to the Minda Booth. I should have picked up a few then, but busy as I was and I do suffer from sometimer's disease (CRS), that I just forgot to. Hopefully by the time this post is done their website will be up and running. Be the first to get a few of these as I think they are going to be one of the lures to watch in 2009.

Florida Bassin

As told by Barry Weaver, El Grande Lures Pro Staff:
We kicked off our club tournament today (02-28-09) on Lake Kerr in Ocala National Forest here in Central FL., and it was a blast. 28 boats and lots of monster fish caught. First place as Daniel Thompson with 18.3, second was Ernie Thompson with 18.1 (this boy is third right now in the BFL, he's on fire), and the team of Barry (me) and Kevin Guinn came in third with 14.5, Big fish of the tournament was a monster 10.15 caught by Ernie. Our big fish was an 8.15 which we really worked for. We found a creek out of the wind, which was loaded with beds and bucks. After taking the bucks off the beds, we headed to the back of the creek and turned around to see if any momma's had moved up. Well, we found a 5 lbr on one which we messed with for about 30 min. with no luck. While we were wessing with that fish we saw another hog move up onto another bed about 30 yards up. This would be our 8.15. I tried a BB Cricket and thought she was going to eat it, but she would just pick it up by the weight and spit it out of the bed. Then the lizard, same thing. Finally tried a Langostino that I got from Jay at elgrandelures.com. I flipped it past the bed and drug it real slow into the bed. She looked at it and rolled on it. She picked it up by the head and I thought she would just spit it out like the others. Well, right when she got to the edge of the bed with it, IT DISAPPEARED!!!! She sucked the whole dang thing up in one gulp! Set the hook and in the live well!!!! It was kinda nice thinking we had it won most of the day. Our's is the guy in the yellow shirt.

The slideshow below are the photos Barry sent along with this story.

Companies Represented

El Grande Lures is a LLC that specializes in innovative plastics. These lures are the brainchild of Mr. Jay Schurz, who is the company President. Although he designed these lures to be fished in Mexican waters, they have proven their effectiveness in American waters from coast to coast, and in other parts of the globe as well. Since becoming involved with El Grande Lures, the quality of the bass I'm catching has gone up considerably. El Grande Lures has also developed a method of creating TRI-LAMINATE plastics which is a three color plastic to match forage fish found in various waters. This is available now in the Hatch-Match sticks and will be added in lures that will be coming in 2011, also.

Thank you for looking at our product line. The Tornado worm is constructed in a manner to where it has an action like no other soft plastic worm. We have a built-in rattle chamber in the tail so that the fishermen can easily insert a rattle without damaging the worm. This rattle chamber can be left empty and it will create an air pocket that will add extra buoyancy to the tail.
When rigged on a Texas rig, the worm will stand completely vertical. When rigged on a Carolina rig, the worm will float off of the bottom. This will be deadly when fishing those deep grass beds or trees. Put it on a shakey head and watch out!
We have used a special formula on our plastic that not only allows the worm to stand straight up and down or even float off of the bottom, but also makes it tough enough to hold up to all those fish you catch. A lot of competitor's products tear up with only one fish, costing the fishermen a lot of money. These worms are tough and you will love not having to put a new worm on each time you catch a fish. Visit http://www.hagstornadobait.com/ to see the complete product line.

BTS Protectant’s polymer technology leaves no chalky build-up like waxes that require application in the shade and during cool temperatures and can be applied in direct sunlight with minimal effort. Unlike spray and shine preparations that suggestion application after every outing, BTS will provide superior protection with occasional use. Regular cleaning is made easy with BTS and without the need for other cleaning products. Once applied, the special "polymers" seal and protect the treated surfaces, allowing for an easy wipe down with a damp cloth. BTS can be used to protect and beautify virtually all surfaces including fiberglass, gel coat, plastic, metal, carpet, vinyl, leather, painted surfaces and wood. BTS is ideal for keeping vinyl upholstery soft, supple and looking “showroom” new for years. Gel coat staining from engine exhaust, as well as spider-dropping stains are a thing of the past with the regular use of BTS. BTS adds a water and soil repellent finish to boat covers and canvas. Plastic windows will stay clearer and last years longer with BTS protection. Check out http://www.bowtosternprotectant.com/sternprotectant.com/ and tell em Allen told you to drop by.
