Bass Caddy Blog

I’m back!!!!!! After a long blob break I felt it was time to enlighten you folks a little more. Last years’ fishing trail was extremely exciting and loaded with adventure. As we prepared for this season a big turd landed in the punch bowl. The WBT was cancelled. Feel free to come to your own conclusion as to why. Me? Ithink the BIG BOYS are very afraid of the female angler they have to fish against in the Classic. But anyway, there seems to be no trail for the ladies to fish.

HAW- TO BUDDY! Like the idjit I am and as P.O.’D as I got over the WBT thing, I popped off to my wife that I should start my own trail.   Now, we all know my wife, she’s usually not into surprises, but she shocked me by saying go for it.   Apparently, she had such a good time last year fishing with the ” BIG GIRLS”, that she wanted more, and was very disappointed about not getting to fish with the girls this year (see her blog for more on her thoughts about this subject).   Anyway,  I talked to my good old friend Lee at Lake Fork and this dumb A– not only thought it was a good idea, but said he would partner with me and pull the trailer all over hell’s half acre in order for the ladies to have a venue to fish.   It actually surprised me how many “good old boys” thought how unfair it was that the ladies had gotten the rug pulled out from under them, and wanted to give the ladies a chance to do what they love to do, and in an atmosphere that was fun.  In simpler terms, a lot of guys would just like to see the gals get a fair shake.  Anyway, finding all of this out just encourages me to dig myself deeper.  I keep thinking how unfair all this is, and, being the “Mr. Fix-It” that I am, I want to do anything and everything in my power to fix it, and make it better for the women.

Now I’m in this deep. We start having meetings and laying down plans searching for a tourney trailer.  Every trailer we found someone either beat us to it or it cost an arm and a ham roast.  Neither of which I have a spare of.  So I finally got mad and said I was going to buy a new trailer and be done with it. (Did I mention I’m on a budget?) (not controlled by me, it’s you-kn0w-who who usually hangs on to the money real tight around here, but here again I was surprised to hear “go for it”.  Now this is getting scary.  So I head out and buy a nice 20 ft. car- hauler and drag it home, still in shock over even being told it was okay to get it in the first place.   Now this is just the beginning of the money outflo. Digital scales and a back- up system. Go for it.  A really nice P.A. system to play music and do weigh- ins.  Go for it.  Tubs to keep the fish alive in. Go for it.  A custom stage and podium.  Go for it.  Material to build an office in the trailer. Go for it. I hope you can begin to catch my drift here.  If this girl of mine wants to fish this badly,  then so be it.

Ladies and gents I am proud to announce the first day of the AMERICAN LADY ANGLERS TOURNAMENT TRAIL!!!!!!! Please feel to visit our web site www.americanladyanglers.com . Yes now I have two web pages to fret over. Please watch both pages to see the happenings as we build the ALA tourney trailer and post the trail events. I’m excited.

For today

I quit.

I have decided to return. This really gets hard after a while since I don’t type so gooder. The fishing tourney was a flop. The weather was bad and the fish had lock jaw. However it was good to be back in the thick of things again. A few small fish were captured and released but that was it. We did manage to freeze our hineys off and break the trolling motor again. I think I’m going to mount the thing on the dash of the boat. Thats the only area I haven’t hit something with yet. Maybe I should teach Terri how to use a paddle. The whine would probably be more than I could stand.

We also went to the classic since I last blobbed. It was fun and we met a bunch of really nice folks. I feel I was  left out of something though. We ran into a number of the WBT pros but not one bass caddy did I meet. If you guys had a seceret meeting place it would have been nice to be included. I know I’m the new guy but come on. Okay it was the caddy outfit wasn’t? I knew it. I’ll never b e able to hang out with the big boys again. Dang that hat. Well  maybe someday I will be forgiven. Anyway the classic was fun. If you have never been you should go. Lots of stuff to do and see. I think they were overwhelmed. The expected 40,000 and got 137,000 more or less. As you can see it was very successful.

The month of March is here and we are gearing up for Bama. I’m looking forward to the WBT event and so is Terri. I hope by then all will be forgotten of the attire I was made to wear. I’ll keep you informed as to what happens.

For today
