Good evening everyone

Today my mother, son, daughter and I went to support Rod Benders 5th annual youth derby and it was awesome! If I could some it all up I would use these words..." to hold up a 9lb lunker is awesome but to lift up a Childs spirit is priceless" We always say we are doing things for the youth, but to really put your rods down and allow yourself to be a servant and teach a child to fish, is training them on the way they should go!...

God Bless The Rod benders of Atlanta GA !!!! Thank you for inviting Mr Maliek and his family!

Here are some Pics attached.

Good Morning

I Want to start by saying congratulations to Bino Patterson for being the best of the best and taking first place at S.A.B.B.A mega bucks lake Murray.

As I look at the industry and notice the two heavy hitters FLW and BASS This weekend I saw what we use to be and have the potential to be! We can become the future two heavy hitters F4ROUTDOORS AND S.A.B.B.A We have to sit down with club presidents as business men and make sure we don't plan events to conflict with each other and traditions. We must work together on affordable tournaments, locations and marketing. We must encourage and support the use of email and the internet their seems to be a communication breakdown between generations. The future holds social networking as a tool.

I'm excited about this weekend the first annual BASS FISHING FAMILY CONCLAVE HARTWELL GA JUNE 5TH launching out of Hart state park.at safe light. Check your email this week for updates and spread the word. I will call every one Tuesday night.

Press releases go out Tuesday morning.

God Bless and have a great day.

Plocek's Secret Weapon Secures BASS Victory on Oneida

Posted by Joe Haubenreich on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 @ 07:13 PM

August 9 Syracuse, NY -- Congratulations to Secret Weapon Prostaff Ron
Plocek, one of two anglers to share first place at the August 2008
Champion's Choice Tournament. Ron gives a lot of credit to Secret Weapon
spinnerbaits for his win. Here's how it happened....

After a strong first day and a decent bag the second, Ron Plocek brought
just two bass to the scales on the third day of the BASS Elite tournament on
Lake Oneida last weekend. He didn't think 5-10 was enough for him to have a
shot of remaining first place. But as he sat in the hot seat before the
crowd and angler after angler walked up and weighed in, no one brought in a
bag that would knock him out of the lead. To his surprise, he was still
there after the last angler left the stage!

Day One found Ron sitting atop the co-angler leader board with 10-13 and a
4-5 largemouth that took big fish honors for the day.

On Day Two he struggled and dropped a few places, but victory was still well
within reach.

However, by 2:15 PM on Day Three, with no fish in the livewell, Ron was
sweating it. His boater, BASS Pro Richard Scherer, was having an equally
difficult day. Fish were not active after two days of extremely stormy
weather, nor were they hitting slow-moving bottom baits. With the clock
ticking down, Ron needed a miracle!

The two anglers were over a grassy flat on Oneida Lake. This is normally a
productive pattern, but they were finding no takers. Retrieving his Secret
Weapon spinnerbait just across the top of the grass, Ron let it drop into a
hole in the vegetation, and as he slow-rolled it back up a 3-pound
smallmouth bass smashed the lure. Into the livewell it went, and his next
cast with a Zoom Speed Craw produced a 2-pound smallmouth from the same
hole.

Those two fish turned out to be just enough to secure first place for the
Liverpool, NY co-angler.

Ron considers himself a "power fisherman" but not a "speed
fisherman." He
prefers heavy baits and heavy lines, but when it comes to spinnerbaits, Ron
says he get more hits when retrieving as slowly as he possibly can.

"All the time I see people throwing spinnerbaits, and they seem to have
just
one mode of retrieve -- steady, just under the surface. They don't take
account the reel ratio or other factors that affect the speed of retrieve.
Keeping a spinnerbait too high in the water column causes them to miss a lot
of fish. I keep my bait near the bottom or ticking the tops of the grass. I
often hang up, but many times when I rip my bait from the grass I'll get
hit. This technique has been very successful for me."

Ron's spinnerbait of choice is the Secret Weapon Quickstrike. "Their
vibration... your feel when using them is incredible. I love 'em. The
Buzzrbaits are great, too; I've had lots of success with them."

Does the brand of spinnerbait make any difference?

"You can't fish and do well without having a great spinnerbait. Most
spinnerbaits out on the market don't run right out of the package. Catch a
fish and get it out of tune, or if you pick up a little weed on it, and it
won't run worth a darn. I never have the problem with Secret Weapons,"
declares Ron.

In the end, Ron shared his first place finish with Jesse Herbert, another
New York angler who matched his total weight of 23-07. The two men shared
first and second place prize money. In addition, Ron received $500 for the
tournament's biggest bass at 04-05.

In all trails but the co angler trail, a tie would be settled by declaring
the winner who had either the biggest bag or biggest fish. Ron had both
thanks to Secret Weapon spinnerbaits.
