BassGold Nails Two WI Elites!
This is getting more than a little eerie. Then again, data doesn’t lie. BassGold.com predicted the upper Mississippi Elite would be won fishing shallow backwaters with frogs, swim-jigs and tube/grub/craws with a weight that averaged in the mid-teens per day. Todd Faircloth won it with a frog, swim-jig and creature bait, and averaged 15-01 per […]

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.

Rook Went Old-School at the Big O

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 […]

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 […]
50 Patterns Uploaded for Lake Norman, NC
In prep for this week’s Lake Norman Bassmaster Southern Open, last night we uploaded 50 Lake Norman patterns. Most were FLW Tour patterns from the four consecutive years (2007-10) they fished there in the spring. But we also input more patterns from the 2005 Elite Series tournament as well as some from BFLs, Fishers of […]
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 […]
