Details on Oldham’s Falcon Pattern

Posted on February 21, 2012 by admin

Jan. 14, 2012 wasn’t a magical day on Texas’ Lake Falcon. To hear Terry Oldham tell it, the conditions weren’t the greatest. Still, he and partner Jamie Buitron weighed 5 fish for 45.52 pounds to win the Bass Champs team tourney there.

A crazy huge weight, but was it unusual? Not for that tournament. Theirs was one of four bags over 40, and another almost 30 teams weighed more than 30. Do some simple division to get to per-fish weights and your head starts to spin.

Anyhow, while the Bass Champs website is excellent as far as regional trails go, it’s doesn’t have super-detailed pattern info. So BassGold’s Jay Kumar chased down Terry to get some more information about that awesome tournament day. Continue reading →

Bass Champs 2012 In, Falcon Deets Coming

Posted on February 15, 2012 by admin

Texas’ Bass Champs team trail is one of the best regional trails in the country. It does a great job with tournaments and tournament reporting. Because it publishes tournament pattern summaries and is popular, we pay close attention to it here at BassGold.

As of today, all 2012 Bass Champs tournaments though Feb. 11 (Amistad) are uploaded, and the database also has all Bass Champs tournaments from 2006 through 2008: 2009-2011 will be in soon.

Note that Jay recently spent some time on the phone with Terry Oldham talking about Continue reading →

Now BassGold: More, Bigger, Better!

Posted on February 10, 2012 by admin

Listen Up Central Pro-Am Fishermen!

Wow, that was some couple months!

At the end of 2011, FishingGold.com had just over 2,000 tournament patterns in the database, which includes almost every B.A.S.S. tourney from the first one in 1967. As of this month, there’s more than 3,000 – exactly 3,143 at the time of this post – and we’re now called BassGold.com (more about the name change in a future post).

Where the heck else can you easily browse 3,000+ patterns plus see the graphs, upload your own patterns and more cool stuff?! Nowhere!

Central Pro-Am

Many of the 1,000 new patterns – all checked and edited by hardcore bassers – cover 20 Continue reading →

MANY More Patterns Coming

Posted on November 30, 2011 by admin

Just a brief update in case you think we’re sitting on our tails and not updating the database of winning/placing patterns. We are and have been in the midst of a HUGE data entry/cleaning effort, but are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Look for a massive 500 to 1,000 patterns uploaded no later than January, focusing on the MO-AR-OK region.

This is a ton of historical data and FishingGold is once again the only place you’ll be able to get it.

Once that giant slug of data is entered, we’ll be hard at inputting data from other regions of the country…so let us know what you want!
