2017 FLW Tour

February 20, 2017 by Clark Wendlandt

Blog Lake Guntersville 2017The 2017 FLW Tour is about to kick off.  To give you an idea about some of the great fisheries we will be at this year, here’s a quick preview.  We start off at Lake Guntersville, AL, arguably one of the best five lakes in the country.  The tournament kicks off this Thursday, February 2nd.  Though the water temperatures will be cold the weights will be big.

Next up is Lake Travis, my home lake.  Most people know Travis as a lake with a ton of fish, but not many good ones.  The lake is two years removed from a severe drought, which put it more than fifty feet low.  There is all kinds of bass-holding cover there now.  It will fish as good as it ever has.

Then for our Florida stop in early March, we go to the Harris Chain.  It will probably be around the spawn, and even though I’ve heard it will fish small, I’m excited about this one because I’ve never been there, and I love going to new places.

From Florida, we head to Cumberland Lake in Kentucky.  The Tour has only stopped at this reservoir one time, and it, like Travis is just coming out of a huge drought.  What I hear is that the fishing is awesome there.  I’m looking forward to this one.

Next is our annual stop at Beaver Lake, mid to late April.  Fishing has been much better at Beaver over the last few years.  This tournament ought to be in or around the spawn and I think a lot of fish will be caught.

Then we go to the Mississippi River way north in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.  Everyone I know who has ever fished this place thinks it’s awesome. Both shallow small mouth and large mouth could win here.  This is another lake I’ve never been to, so I’m really looking forward to it.

The last stop on the tour is the Potomac River, which is probably my very favorite tournament venue.  Last time FLW fished there, I actually won the event.  It’s a power fisherman’s dream there – where lots of different patterns will emerge, but any of them could win. 

I’m extremely excited about the upcoming schedule – several places I’ve never fished and several proven fisheries that I’ve always enjoyed.  It should be a great year.

Fishing & Hunting Texas

Let’s talk Garmin Force. Check out this video for a few reasons why I love this trolling motor.

Garmin Fish & Hunt #garminpro #fishgarmin #fishinghuntingtexas

The Garmin Force Freshwater Trolling Motor is the most powerful and most efficient motor available. It has the power you need to counter winds and currents with the efficiency to fish all day. Wireless chartplotter integration and built-in autopilot get you to fish, along with anchor lock to stay on them. Wireless foot pedal provides instant control and responsiveness - feels and steers like a cable-steered pedal.

Fishing was brutally tough so I was thankful for every bass I caught this week, but unfortunately it was only good enough to finish middle of the pack in 52nd. Time to put it behind me and gear up for the next one. #teamoutdoors #rangerboats #yamahaoutboards #powerpole #garminpro #thmarineteam #lithiumpros #truetimber #strikeking #sunline #ownerhooks ...

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year It is hard to put in to words how it feels to have the greatest accomplishment of my career occur in the context of the most chaotic year of my life, and I imagine many of yours too – 2020. But in the midst of all the chaos, my job, while disrupted for a few months, resumed after a few months thanks to the efforts made by B.A.S.S to provide a full season for us. I am so appreciative to them and my fellow anglers for pulling together to make this happen. And … Read More...
