As a child, he was lucky enough to spend a lot of time outdoors with his family camping and learning how to fish on many different lakes in Northern California. Jim attended Santa Clara University on a full football scholarship. He received his Bachelor Degree in Marketing with an emphasis in Management. After graduating he entered the business world for a short time as a sales manager and realized that he preferred to be just in sales. Over the last 9 years Jim was responsible for over 120 million dollars in sales and was the number 1 sales person in the country for 4 of those years. After the unexpected loss of my mother his decided that life was too short not to be doing what he truly loved. In April of 2005 Jim made the decision to leave the Electronics Industry to pursue his dream as a Professional Bass Angler. Today Jim lives in Plumas Lake, CA. Everyday Jim finds himself very fortunate to be able to spend his days doing the one thing that he enjoys more than anything else fishing.

Pro Tips

Find the Path to Spawning Grounds
Pre-Spawn
 Delta Pre-Spawn Bass are predictable creatures. When the days start getting longer and the sun has more time to warm up the water the fish begin to get into that breeding preparation mode. This is considered pre-spawn. Adding to the pre-spawn modes are the moons. As we begin to move towards the full moon the fish move up even further and continue to prepare for the spawn. During this pre-spawn time the fish feed actively which makes for some of the best fishing of the year. An added bonus of this time of year is that the fish are usually full of eggs which adds to their over all weight.
Find the Path Since we know the fish are going to be pushing up to shallow water for spawning, targeting these fish becomes relatively easy. Find the areas where the fish are going to spawn, then work your way to deeper water. Moving first to secondary points and then to main lake points and finally arriving at the deeper water. This is the path the fish are going to move along towards their breeding grounds. |
