Water is very clean so use tan, white, orange colors for seducers and clouser minnows. Larger Redfish are in large schools averaging 20 fish per school with and average weight of 10-15 lbs. Use ghost shrimp by Enrico Puglisi with tan or rootbeer colors. Steve Smith Outdoors in Oregon says that the Sandy is fishing pretty well with 50% of the catch being natives...largest so far is 16 Lbs. Down in Central Texas, Buchannan Lake is four stars if you ask Rick Ransom. His guide service fished Saturday with a cold  front coming in. They anchored in 30ft of water, fished 3 turns off the bottom with large minnows, and had steady action for about 2 hrs.  They caught 17 throwbacks and 7 keepers – we’re guessing stripers and white bass – until everybody got cold and went in happy.

Around the world of fishing in 120 Seconds Brought to you by BossTin - makers of environmentally friendly fishing weights for the fly and conventional tackle angler. It’s National Invasive Species Awareness week, everybody! Remember to Inspect, Clean and Dry your Boats, Boots & Waders between waders. Never dump your bait bucket – or certainly your aquarium. Arkansas has a new state record bass – a big, bulging-eyed dead one now. State’s gonna study it’s DNA, find out if it was a pure northern-strain fish or if it had Florida genetics. Paul Crowder of Forrest City set the new record on Lake Dunn near Wynne. 16 pounds, 5 ounces – breaks the 35-year old record by a single ounce. Speaking of bass, in Shreveport, Louisiana Chris Lane of Guntersville, Alabama wins the BASSMASTER Classic with 51 pounds and 6 ounces of largemouth bass from the Red River. If you live in Utah, you need to be fishing Scofield Reservoir. Zane Nielsen of Pleasant Grove pulled a new catch-and-release record tiger trout through a hole in the ice there a couple weeks ago. In February, the reservoir produced not one -- but two -- Utah state record fish. Tournaments on Missouri’s Table Rock are cancelled for this weekend – tornadoes smashed the marina the anglers were using this week, tragic. In Tackle News, Sebile’s D&S Crankbait – the crankbait that’s got just a single hook instead of a mouthful of trebles – was named Field & Stream’s Best of the Best for 2012. Wherever you fish for trout - or read about it - Kirk Deeter, renowned journalist, editor and author, steps up as the new editor of TROUT Magazine, Trout Unlimited’s flagship publication.

Skeet Reese is not only one of the hottest names in professional bass fishing, he's got an amazing story. Once a professional dancer, he now has a family who often travels with him to events like the Bassmaster Classic. His incredible rig turns more heads than any other on the Bassmaster Elite Tour, his bright yellow signature products have become breakthrough in the tackle industry, and he's a contender in every tournament he fishes. A former Angler of the Year and Bassmaster Classic Champion, he's pretty handy with a rod & reel, so DICK'S Sporting Goods added him to their Pro Staff for 2011.

A legend that's still on the water competing at the top level - sounds like someone worth spending some time with.

Help reconnect the Mississippi River to the Louisiana Wetlands. National Wildlife Federation and Ducks Unlimited hav... The Louisiana Delta is one of the richest ecosystems in North America. A healthy delta means strong waterfowl populations nationwide, a healthy Gulf of Mexico, and a strong local fishery - critical for seafood prices and availability globally. To the local people in Mississippi and Louisiana, the Mississippi River Delta provides a buffer against incoming weather like hurricanes, and as we saw with Hurricane Katrina, when the Delta disappears, bad weather events become catastrophic. Sadly, the Delta IS dissappearing - at an alarming rate. In fact, every 38 minutes a piece of land the size of a football field slides off into the Gulf of Mexico. While that process - called subsidence - is natural, normally the river would replenish the disappearing land. However, because we have re-engineered the flow of the Mississippi River with locks, dams, levees and other flow controls, the Delta is disappearing at an alarming rate - with shocking consequences. Will the area that gave up the largest weights in Bassmaster Classic history in 2011 be a viable fishery in 2061, or will it all be gone in the next 50 years? The decision is yours - this video explains what's going on, and how you can help. The Fish Schtick is presented by SPOT HUG (http://www.findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=113).

And all who fish for bass across the land collect them too. They are the images from first light to last and from first fish to last. And we'd share them in a minute. Some recall particular triumphs, often preserved in snapshots and clippings, while others we tend to hide, at least until the time we're ready to laugh about them. Daybreaks, canebrakes, heartbreaks, muggy nights, and foggy mornings. A hundred things that worked, and a thousand more that should have. That's bass fishing." —-George Kramer Guest Intro / Interview Shaw Grigsby (http://www.one-more-cast.com/about.htm) is a hero to many, including me. MauroMedia no 59:27
