Being a good Co-Angler is an important job. It also provides the best seat in the house for learning and shaping you to become a well rounded angler. Here are a few simple steps to being the best co-angler you can be!

Before packing the first rod into the truck you need to make a list and check it twice! There are many essentials you need to help you on your day such as a life jacket, sun screen, quality sun glasses, clothing that fits the forecast. These are just a few small things that can be easily forgotten. My suggestion is to make a master list of the things you will need for each tournament you fish, then you can add to it from there to fit the lake and the weather conditions.

If you are like me you carry to much tackle. If there is such a thing? This can be a hindrance to you when fishing as a co-angler if you are not careful. Try and pack the things you will truly need, then if you have room pack some extras. Many pros or boaters will let you use some of their tackle but you need to provide as much of your own as possible. Go prepared but be courteous to the boater and carry only what you need. Make sure you are very well organized when packing your tackle for a tournament. This will help save room and make it easier to find the right bait when you need it.

Be prepared to adapt to the surrounding area as far as license and rules of the water you will be fishing. Many states are different when it comes to local laws. Also be prepared at the pre tournament meeting. Take along a pen and paper to write down any pertinent information regarding the tournament you are fishing. Make sure you communicate well with the boater to make sure you are on the same page for meeting up and preparing for the day of fishing.

Finally show some angler etiquette when fishing as a co-angler. Many pros or boaters pay a higher entry fee and use their winnings to pay the bills! Let them have first shot at where they want to fish but if you have a area located where you know fish are always tell the boater about it. They are usually very open minded about this. Always offer gas money to the boater, in today’s economy it is just a great show of courtesy. Even $20 will be a help when the boater fills up. Also be respectful of their water and make smart casts. If you see a pro or boater miss a fish don’t trow in the same spot. This is very disrespectful. When alot of money is on the line play fair and be a smart courteous co-angler.

I hope you got something out of this and can use it to better your skills at co-angling. Many fisherman have turned pro from the back of the boat! Maybe you will to!

First off congratulations to Alton Jones on winning a fantastic Bassmaster Classic! I really enjoyed watching this year’s super bowl of bass fishing. The weather really played a huge part in the outcome of this year’s champion. It was a pleasure watching these guys compete and catch fish under such harsh conditions. My hat goes off to them!

The final three Elite series stops should really shake down the angler of the year race and cap off the year with what I believe will be the best season yet!

The Mississippi River will host this years “River Rumble” and what looks like an exciting shallow water battle. Look for Denny Brauer to fair well here if the jig bite is on in the backs of creeks and along the shoreline lay downs. Eelgrass and logs should be great places to catch quality fish. Spinnerbaits and shallow water crankbaits should also be a great choice here. I personally think that a shallow crankbait could win this thing given the right conditions. Look for Skeet to be strong and never count out the Hack Attack!

Lake Erie/Niagara River should be a drop shot circus for the pros at this time of year! I really hope they get to experience great weather with limited wind so the fishery can really render the giant smallmouth it is known for. Look for the pros to congregate in the eastern portion of the lake. This area is historically known for producing better than average bronzebacks. Drop shots, tube jigs, jerkbaits and jigs should really load the pros boats for this event. I believe the tournament will be won on a drop shot, jig combination pattern. My pick is Kota Kiriyama because of his extensive knowledge with the drop shot rig. Of course last years champ Edwin Evers may make some waves in this event as well. It will be a battle of who finds the schools of big fish not just keeper size fish.

Oneida Lake will be where we crown our 2008 Angler Of the Year. This tournament will be a battle of quality versus quantity. Many anglers in previous years caught as many as fifty smallmouth a day but the pros that targeted the largemouth got fewer bites but caught bigger fish. Just ask Tommy Biffle! I still think this tournament will be won shallow with the largemouth and not deep with the smallies. I may be crazy but I am taking The G-Man Gerald Swindle at this year ending event but look out for Ike he likes to finish strong and as he will tell you, never give up!

As I said in my last article I would predict an angler of the year, so here you go!
