MIKE DELVISCO'S UNDERSTANDING SONAR DVD IS READY!

Sonar has been a real mystery to many anglers for a long
time.

What am I actually looking at when I watch my sonar screen?
How do I tell the difference between structures and cover?

These questions and more are answered in a new DVD on
Understanding Sonar by pro bass angler and national seminar
speaker Mike DelVisco. Mike has made a living as a bass
professional and seminar speaker for the past 15 years and
has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to sonar.

Called Understanding Sonar, this DVD has several parts
including how sonar works, take it to the water and GPS. It
features multiple computer animated and underwater video
sequences to give the viewer every opportunity to learn all
aspects of sonar. Multiple viewing options are built into
the main menu so the viewer can watch the entire program or
select certain pieces for review.

This DVD will sell for $19.99 plus $3.85 ship/handling. For
more information email Mike at mjdelvisco@aol.com or visit
Mike DelVisco's web site at:

NEW FORMAT FOR JUNIOR BASSMASTER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

BASS announced that for the first time ever, the Junior
Bassmaster World Championship will coincide with the
Bassmaster Classic in 2004.

Best of all, Junior Bassmaster anglers will get a chance to
fish alongside their heroes. They'll be paired together with
one of the top 35 pro anglers who have qualified for the
Classic. The junior anglers will fish one practice day,
followed by a one-day tournament to compete for scholarships
and the title of Junior Bassmaster World Champion. The pro
will be there as a mentor and boat driver only.

The young anglers will come from Junior Bassmaster clubs
throughout the BASS Federations. They will qualify, just as
Federation anglers qualify for the Classic, through local,
state and divisional tournaments.
