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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

Details on Oldham’s Falcon Pattern
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 […]
