2/4/2010 - Looking for Darter Heads or Drop Shot weights at a great price?
Ron Robinson, member of Elk Grove Basss, hand pours his own Drop Shot weights and Darter Heads and is offering smokin deals on these items. You can purchase them from him at the launch ramp on tournament day or just give him a call to place your order. Ron can be reached at (916) 645-6094 or you can email him at ronrobinson1956@yahoo.com.
I've been using Ron's Drop Shot weights and am very impressed with the quality of them. Haven't had a chance to fish the Darter's yet but I do have some and they look great. Below is a breakdown of the products he is offering.

1/22/2010 - Let's welcome two new members to the club!.....
Team - Andy Ta and Phu
Andy's (on the left) favorite ways to catch em is flippin and throwing swimbaits. Phu (on the right) also likes to flip and throw topwater. By the looks of these fish we might have to watch out for these guys. They'll be starting the season with us at Lake Oroville.
Welcome Andy and Phu! We look forward to seeing you at Oroville! Remember to bring your membership fees!
1/14/2010 - Last year was my first year with Elk Grove Bass. It was also my first year of tournament bass fishing for that matter and I had a great time and met a lot of good people. I must admit… I made a lot of mistakes but I definitely learned from them. After all, isn’t that what fishing is about!? …..Taking a little from each experience on the water and applying them on your next trip so you can catch more fish!? Anyways, overall I felt I had a decent year ending up 3rd place in the points race. Oh yeah.....has anyone seen a blue, 16ft Chrystler boat with a 40hp Evinrude? I want my old boat back!!! I fished better out of that boat than out of my 21ft, 235hp, Champion I bought back in July! Oh well! Hope I figure it out soon!
The '09 season has come to a close and I think we all can agree that it was tough to get the quality bites. In regards to our regular season and bigger fish.... the club only saw 3 fish in the 5 lb range and 1 fish in the 6 lb range come to the scales. I hope we get plenty of rain this winter as I believe it will help produce better numbers of quality fish.
At this point I want to welcome the new members of Elk Grove Bass for the 2010 season. I have included photos to this post to help familiarize you with the new members.
Team - Mike and Glen Nuzum
Mike and Glen are brothers and live here in Sacramento. I met Mike a few years ago when I was working in the Mortgage Business and was pleased to find he was an avid bass fisherman. After a little communication back and forth, Mike decided Elk Grove Bass was a good fit for him and his brother.
Team – Wes and Meredith Roberson
Wes and Meredith are married and live in Woodland. I met Wes through a co-worker of mine and was also pleased to find he was an avid bass fisherman. Wes is primarily a power fisherman and loves to throw swim baits and Jigs.

Team – Tao Her and Paul Mctaggart
Tao is an avid bass fisherman and this will be his first year of competitive fishing. Tao loves to throw top water year round and his favorite lure is 3:16 wake bait. Paul is the reel mechanic at Fisherman’s Warehouse and he is best at flippin and throwing swim baits.
Team - Mong Lee and Chao Vang
This will also be the first year fishing competitively for Mong and Chao. Mong likes to finesse fish and he loves to throw sencos.
Mong Lee Chao Vang
Wes Roberson will not be fishing with his wife Meredith at the first tournament. He will be fishing with his long time friend Jay. Wes knows he is ineligble for the pounder pots at Lake Amador as he is fishing with a non-member.
1/14/2010 - There has been a change...Wes will be fishing with his wife and will be eligble for the pounder pots as long as he continues to fish with the club through the 3 month probation period.
We are very excited when new members join the club so when you see these new members at the launch ramp at Amador please welcome them. If we retained all members from 2009 then it looks as though we will have approx 17 boats for the 2010 season. I look forward to seeing all of you there at the launch ramp at Amador.
Also, I just wanted to mention the importance of being on time at the tournaments. On occasion we fish lakes where other clubs are holding tournaments on the same day. If members are running late then this holds us back from launching giving the other clubs first crack at fishing locations. Our goal, as always, is to launch at safe light before other clubs or circuits if possible. You can’t go wrong if you plan to be at the launch ramp 1 hour before sunrise. If you’re not sure when the best time to show up at the ramp...... ask other members in the club what time they expect to be there.
Best of luck to all!!!
