St. Croix Rods

For the last 10 years I have been using St. Croix rods. I remember my first one, I bought it JB's Fishing Depot, it was a 7' medium Premiere spinning rod. I use that rod for everything!, bass, pike, walleye, I even caught musky on it. It was and still is a great rod. I still have it! I use it for twitch baits. I have moved on since then but never leaving St. Croix, I use Tournament Legend rods now and I love them. And just recently I acquired St. Croix as a sponsor so they will always be with me and Team TFB.

2011 Bass Pro Shops Lake Simcoe Open

Wow what a day it was. I can’t believe it’s been a week already, where does the time go? Fall comes so fast. A week ago I was headed up north to Orillia in the cold fall rain towing my boat and for once hoping I wasn’t going to use it. That’s right I was headed to Simcoe but not to fish. I had been asked by Bass Pro Shops to co emcee the 2011 Simcoe Open, and Andy from the CSFL thought it would be a good idea to bring up the Russell Peters Ranger to use as an emergency boat. I have to admit my stomach was full of butterflies, I have talked to groups before and I’ve taught class and given seminars but never to a group that meant so much to me. These are my peers my equals they have the right to judge me, and it was going out over live radio so I had to watch my language. Well when Andy introduced me I went all in and hit the stage running. Once we got the ball rolling, I got into my groove and was wishing it would never end. There were so many big bags of fish I couldn’t believe it and the anglers that didn’t do so well were in such a good mood that it made my job so easy. Geno my co emcee did such a good job filling in the blanks and picking up the slack that it kept everything moving smoothly. And of course none of this would have been possible without Vita keeping us on a steady pace and not allowing me to turn it into a stand up session. Then suddenly it was all over. I guess I did ok, people seemed to be happy with my performance and as far as I know there were no complaints. Within minutes of it being done the stage and scales were being packed up and everyone was gone. At that point I realized just how hard the CSFL crew works.I would like to thank everyone at Bass Pro Shops, and the whole CSFL troop for all their hard work and I will see you again next year.
Tight lines everyone!
