I have organized a team at the University of North Alabama and we worked the PAA corporate cup at Pickwick last year to try and help and to get our name out there.

I don’t know if you have heard, but this year the IHSA (Illinois high school association) has officially entered bass fishing as a sport. There are only six students allowed to fish in each tournament and there are about twenty to twenty-five kids on the team. So here is my question, besides showing up to all of the practices, what are some sure proven tournament techniques that my teammates and I can use to beat the other schools earn and keep a spot on the tournament roster?</p> <p>P.S. I think it would be great for both the Strike Kings organization and IHSA, if Strike Kings or even you could do something to help kids get involved, and help out in the progression of this wonderful sport i.e. Sponsorships, promotions, gear donations, or even scholarship programs (we are the future of the sport <img src="wink.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="wink" style="border:0;" /> ) I hate to bother you like this, but anything you can do would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Keep up the good work and good luck in the classic,</p> <p>Thanks, <br /> Mark Feldman and the whole SHS tournament bass angling team</p> 2009-02-04T22:25:12-05:00 Questions by some getting pushed out by others http://www.kevinvandam.com/forums/viewthread/2733/ http://www.kevinvandam.com/forums/viewthread/2733/#When:21:42:35Z <p>Im sure everyone has a question they want answered by KVD…some need to quit hogging the board!!!!!</p> 2009-02-04T21:42:35-05:00 Strike King/KVD Wii fishing game http://www.kevinvandam.com/forums/viewthread/2716/ http://www.kevinvandam.com/forums/viewthread/2716/#When:21:28:14Z <p>Is that in the works, I am getting tired of casting Rapala’s on the Wii.</p> 2009-02-04T21:28:14-05:00 St. Claire in July http://www.kevinvandam.com/forums/viewthread/2749/ http://www.kevinvandam.com/forums/viewthread/2749/#When:22:05:01Z <p>What would you recommend for small mouth on St. Claire in early July?</p> 2009-02-04T22:05:01-05:00 Line and Lure Conditioner http://www.kevinvandam.com/forums/viewthread/2746/ http://www.kevinvandam.com/forums/viewthread/2746/#When:22:02:17Z <p>How is it suppossed to be applied to your line???

Just recently I noticed the new Series of worms and other soft plastics. How often do you use the soft plastics? Are these lures that you use when the Burn bite is off. Or when you pull up to fish shallow?</p> 2009-03-03T22:55:11-05:00
