70+ Patterns Uploaded for Toledo Bend
Toledo Bend, the legendary lake that sites on the Texas-Louisiana border, is the site of this week’s Bassmaster Elite Series event, and in prep for that we uploaded 70 tournament patterns to BassGold.com for the May, June, July timeframe. What does that show? A more thorough analysis is on Bassmaster.com, but here are a few […]
40 Patterns Uploaded, Mostly TN’s Douglas
In prep for Bassmaster Elite Series pros hitting eastern Tennessee’s Douglas Lake next week, we recently seined the web for Douglas patterns. We found a bunch of fishing reports of questionable quality, a few of which we uploaded, and about 40 or so tournament pattern reports. At first blush it looks like you’re cranking or […]
Rook Went Old-School at the Big O
Scott Rook finished 7th at the Elite Series event on Okeechobee, and one reason for that was he went old-school. He was fishing a flat – the details of which are in BassGold – along with a lot of other competitors. One thing he was doing differently was slowly swimming a Zoom Lizard on a […]
Why Carolina-Rig the St. Johns? Current
In the course of gathering patterns for places 1-10 for the first two Elite Series events, on the St. Johns River and Okeechobee, we talked to pro Terry Scroggins. One question we asked was a general one: Why do Carolina rigs show up so much in pattern info for the St. Johns? We asked the […]
34 More Patterns Uploaded: Elites, FLW
We just uploaded another 34 patterns to the BassGold database: the patterns from the Top 10 finishers at the St. Johns River and Okeechobee Elite Series events, and about 20 FLW patterns (FLW Tour, EverStart, TBF) covering Table Rock and Bull Shoals in prep for the upcoming B.A.S.S. events. A few things we noticed, by […]
Ish’s Ikeechobee Weight Not Off the Charts
[Not sure if this was published on Bassmaster.com or not, so we’re running it here.] by Jay Kumar When Mark Zona was at the Okeechobee Elite Series event, he asked me what I felt the winning weight would be based on BassGold.com data. He wasn’t just a little curious – he was super curious because […]
Classic Analysis: Red River Pools
In compiling the 1st- to 11th-place patterns from this year’s Bassmaster Classic on the Red River, we made sure to ask which pool(s) the guys fished in. Why? To inform the database, and thus to better-inform BassGold members. In the past, according to BassGold pattern info, most 1st through 5th finishers have fished in Pool […]
90+ Florida Patterns In, Mostly Big O
With the Bassmaster Elite Series swinging through Florida over the next couple of weeks, we made sure to enter the relevant St. Johns River and Okeechobee patterns we didn’t already have in the database. Today’s batch is 90+ patterns – some for the St. Johns, Toho and East Lake Toho, but mostly for Okeechobee. Note […]
Classic Patterns for 1st-11th Uploaded
It’s now common for the major bass fishing news sites to have pattern details for tour-level events for the 1st- through 5th-place finishers. But for at least the Bassmaster Elite Series, BassGold (and Bassmaster.com) will have pattern details for 1st through 10th place. Why? Because pattern information is valuable, and because the pattern info of […]
More Florida Patterns Uploaded
The next even on the Bassmaster Elite Series schedule is on Florida’s St. Johns River. BassGold already has all the big B.A.S.S. St. Johns tourney patterns in the database, but we went looking around and found some more patterns from other trails. That brings the number of St. Johns patterns entered by BassGold staff to […]
Lewisville Bassmaster Open Patterns In
The Top 3 patterns from the recent Lewisville (TX) Bassmaster Open – the icy one! – are now in the BassGold database. This was the tournament won by Brent Chapman in a fish-off.
First Lake Fork Patterns, Plus More TX
We’ve had a couple of requests for Lake Fork patterns so we found some and they’re now in, over 40. Most are from the PAA’s spring team tourneys there and Media Bass events, plus some Sealy Outdoors big bass derbies. After looking at the Fork data we’re not real sure why there’s a lot of […]
