EVERSTART SERIES TEXAS DIVISION HEADED TO LAKE AMISTAD

Mild winter may affect bass fishing event
 
DEL RIO, Texas (Jan. 25, 2012) – The EverStart Series is headed to Lake Amistad Feb. 2-4 when as many as 300 pros and co-anglers take to the water for the first of four stops in the Texas Division.
 
“They are definitely catching fish right now on Amistad and the fishing has been very good,” said FLW Tour pro Keith Combs of Huntington, Texas. “This is going to be a better than average tournament. With what I’ve seen lately, I think it’s going to take 70 pounds to win this tournament.
 
“We’ve had a very mild winter here so far,” Combs continued. “Based on the weather I think this one will probably be won out of the grass. They are pulling water through the lake real hard right now, and the lake levels are going to be dropping. If it gets cold and with the lower water levels, the bass might move out and there is a pretty good chance that this tournament could be won on the ledges.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — B.A.S.S., upon the recommendation of its Bassmaster Elite Series Rules Committee, has amended its tournament rules to limit anglers competing in the Bassmaster Classic and Bassmaster Elite Series to the use of a single lure during practice and competition.

The rule change, which does not apply to Bassmaster Open, B.A.S.S. Federation Nation, College B.A.S.S. and other events, clarifies the intent of long-standing rules permitting only one rod, one reel and one cast at a time. No longer permitted are double soft jerkbait rigs, drop shot rigs with jigs used as weights, double topwater setups and other multi-lure rigs, such as “umbrella rigs.”
