Berkely's New Baits

Has anyone seen the new lures that Berkely has just come out with? They have recently released some new baits that they hope will help out their pro-staff anglers in the upcoming Bassmasters Classic on Lake Hartwell later this month. There is some pretty interesting stuff such as jigs, sinking worms, and the ever popular swimbait. I really liked the look of their swimbait (named the Hollow Body), which looks much like the basstrix paddletail that everyone is trying to get their hands on. As the name states the body is hollow which helps tremendously in more hook-ups and more fish in the boat. I went ahead and pre-ordered a couple packs of these baits in hopes that they will arrive in time for the season. I have a tournament in Indiana in which we may be looking at prespawn conditions. If those fish are up on the flats chasing a reaction type bait, this just might do the trick.

Heres a picture of the Hollow Body:

First Installment

Hey guys, my name is Bob Downey. As you may have already noticed this is my first post on my new blog. Pretty exciting stuff huh!? A little about me...I was born and raised in Minnesota and absolutely love the outdoors and all it has to offer. Specifically, I like to hunt and fish the most. While not fishing or hunting I attend the University of Iowa and am currently studying to earn a degree in business.

Ok, you may now be wondering why I have created this blog. My title "Bob's Fishing Blog" makes it pretty self-explanatory, this will be a blog about fishing! Specifically bass fishing, but I do some multi-species fishing as well. Everything from the tournaments I fish, how to fish certain techniques I like to use, the professional tours, to new products in the fishing industry, and just talking about fishing in general will be covered here on my blog.

I hope you take an interest in to what I have to offer in this vast world of fishing. I think it will be both fun and interesting if you follow along.
