TRYIN' SOMETHING NEW

Gary Dobyns is one of the few anglers in the world to win
one million in tournaments. Amazingly, mostly within a few
hours drive of Gary's home in California!

Gary Dobyns is also one of the columnists in every issue of
the Inside Line Magazine. In the March/April Inside Line
Magazine, Gary's column is about the inaugural Yamamoto Open
tournament at Lake Oroville. Since ONLY Yamamoto soft baits
can be used in a Yamamoto tournament, Dobyns had to rethink
his tournament tactics without using his typical ripbaits
and spinnerbaits. As a result, he now has a few more
Yamamoto items in his formidable arsenal. Click here to find
out what soft baits Dobyns threw in the Yamamoto Open on
Oroville in:

GOLDEN SHINER TIME

Via our Inside Line Magazine field test research and
development product program, we offer Inside Line Magazine
subscribers a research product to field test for a limited
time every two months. For the March/April timeframe, it is:

GOLDEN SHINER TIME
http://insideline.net/articles/917.html

Olive-green on back, a shimmering golden-silver sheen on
their flanks, the Golden Shiner is a native of the Canadian
Maritimes, Eastern US, south to Florida and Texas. Widely
introduced by fisheries biologists as a forage fish in the
Western USA, they are the most common live bait fish sold in
the United States.

The bright, flashing appearance and prolific numbers make
Golden Shiners an important forage for shoreline-oriented
species of game fish ("Bass!").

They are schooling forage that prefer the proximity of the
shoreline and find comfort in the same weedy, brushy cover
preferred by bass. How convenient!

As a kid, I caught them by the numbers many days for fun and
for bass bait, using a miniature gold Aberdeen fly hook
baited with a wee ball of raw Ballard biscuit dough, the
kind that comes in the cardboard canister. You peel the foil
wrapper off, and "BOOP", you pop it open. Those were the
days, my friend.

I did not know they were Golden Shiners then. Like everyone
else at the time, I simply called them "Roach", another
common name for them.

Well, here they are, say no more. A school of gleaming
Golden Shiners swims in every bag of field test #917.

Remember, we are all artists when we pick up a rod, and what
we tie on the end is our paintbrush.
