Duckett Perspective – West Point Saturday Scorecard
by Boyd Duckett The past two weeks we fished Elite Series events at West Point Lake and the Alabama River. After these two events, I stand in 23rd place in Angler of the Year points, and I have to admit that I’m right on track for the goals I set at the beginning of the [...]
Mark Menendez – Shop with a Trooper
I made my way across the state of Kentucky for a promotional event I drove through Wolff County, KY. This is a county where 55 mph means 55mph! I felt as I might have an exemption as I was on my way to help the Kentucky State Troopers from Post 9 with a benefit bass [...]
Casey Scanlon – The Bull Shoals Story
What a great tournament! I made my first top 12 cut and finished third overall. My highest finish on the Elite Series. I’m very disappointed with not winning and feel I had it within my reach and let it slip away. The two anglers that beat me brought in nice limits on the final day. [...]
James Niggemeyer – Three Event Wrap Up
Gosh, it has been kind of a whirlwind since we last did a blog. I guess I was getting ready to leave for Bull Shoals and, that was a good event for me. I really felt like it was going to shape up to be an even better event for me, but the weather the [...]
Dynamic – Sweet Tea and Grins with Shaw Grigsby
Shaw Grigsby hollered “Oh crap!” and leaped from the front deck of his boat as though his Simms fishing pants were on fire. Fresh off another long day of battling the Alabama River’s outrageous current, Grigsby had forgotten to plug in his battery charger and rushed to find his 100-foot extension cord. The spring to [...]
Dynamic Blog – Biffle Goes Chasing Waterfalls
Tommy Biffle finds his favorite music on a SiriusXM satellite radio station called “The Highway”. Found on Channel 59, they spin the latest country music. But it was TLC’s rhythm and blues hit “Waterfalls” that played heaviest in my mind as Biffle recounted his daredevil-like Day One at the Bassmaster Elite Series’ “Alabama River Charge.” [...]
Mark Menendez – PVA Tournament
I was able to meet real celebrities this week! The Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) Bass Tour made a stop at Kentucky Lake last week. This was the first stop of a two week journey. The second stop is just 100 miles north at Rend Lake, IL. This is the most competitive group of anglers [...]
Stephen Browning – Started Strong, Finished Stronger
Hey guys, Stephen Browning, and I just wanted to talk about fishing hard right up to the end. It is kind of like; I’ve got a motto this year – start strong and finish stronger; and you know, that is exactly what happened to me at the Bassmaster Central Open on the Red River a [...]
Skeet’s Beat – What a Week at West Point
WOW, What a week! When I ended the last post in my Skeet’s Beat blog, I said I would really like to win West Point. I thought I would go down there and toss a swimbait, crack some heads and have a chance to win it. That didn’t happen – well, the swimbait part anyway. [...]

The people behind the scenes at AdvancedAngler.com are dedicated to giving their viewers the inside scoop on the latest news and techniques. I’m [...]
Boyd Duckett – Bull Shoals Saturday Scorecard
by Boyd Duckett It’s a funny position to be in right now. I’m on the heels of a really good tournament, but I’m worrying about what could be a terrible couple of days coming up. In other words, Bull Shoals was a good Elite Series event. I fished well. Now we’re about to take on [...]
Skeet’s Beat – A Surprise Trip Home
I was supposed to be doing some R&D with Mark Sexton from Berkley on Havoc baits after the Bull Shoals tournament, but when the event got pushed back a day because of the bad weather, I got the chance to make a surprise trip home. I got n the TroKar / Havoc Big Rig and [...]
Mark Menendez – Mark’s Outdoors
Last week was my annual pilgrimage to the Mark’s Outdoors Pro Day and Tournament to represent Strike King. This is a special event as it has become a family reunion of sorts. I get to see fishing friends and fans that I have meet over the years at this event. Mark’s Outdoors is located in [...]
Skeet’s Beat – Flippin, Arkansas
We just wrapped up the Elite Series event on Bull Shoals in Arkansas. It’s one of the prettiest places we go all year. From the White River to the Buffalo River and everything in between and around the area is just beautiful. Another great thing about the area is it is bass fishing Mecca. More [...]
Mark Menendez – A Fishing Vacation
The business of being a caregiver for my wife has wiped me out. This is the toughest job a person has to endure. Regular work, housework, and care for Donna have taken a toll on me. Burnout has set in for sure! While working a Gander Mountain Grand Opening event in Auburn, Al, I looked [...]
