ALEX SHOWS HIS GAME FACE, READY TO LAUNCH!!

32 ANGLERS, 16 TEAMS, 15 BOATS, 2 KAYAKS, $640+Prizes....

On October 14th, 2017, 32 anglers competed on the Dairyland Reservoir in the JAMES GANG FALL FLAMBEAU CLASSIC. With a $20 entry fee per angler, the total winnings handed out was $640, which was 100% payout of the entry fees collected. The 16 teams battled wind, afternoon rain, and a tricky fall finesse bite, in hopes of splitting $480 with their partner, as well as taking home the trophies. Also up for grabs for all 32 anglers was the Big Bass Award, given out to the angler that landed the "daily lunker," the heaviest single bass of the day. The Dairyland Reservoir has been known in the past for having some giant trophy smallmouth in it. Even though the last decade has reduced the crawfish population, thus reducing girths and body weights of the smallmouths, our tournament produced one very respectable smallmouth by the end of the day.

WE WERE VERY PROUD OF THE 32 ANGLER TURNOUT THIS WEEKEND!

The tournament preparations started around 9 AM, with the kayakers showing up for their PIN cards first. They were cleared to launch at 9:15AM, but chose to allow all the motor boats to go first, so they would get the community park bay and dam rip rap areas to themselves after the wakes settled.

Dewey Lor & Tou Xiong started off the tournament red hot. Within the first hour or so, Dewey and Tou landed around TEN POUNDS of legal bass! They took a huge lead that held most of the day. They fished a sand point and pounded smallmouth after smallmouth in a very short time.

DEWEY LOR & TOU XIONG HAMMERED OUT 10 LBS OF SMALLMOUTH TO TAKE A LARGE EARLY LEAD IN THEIR 18 HP JONBOAT

Local ace, and tournament favorite Doug Helmuth, and his partner Zach Nelson, were not messing around either. Only 37 minutes into the tournament, Doug landed his biggest Flambeau smallmouth in years, a beautiful 4 pound 1 ounce fish, long body, huge head, nice girthy belly. This bass would be very difficult to top for the Big Bass Award, but with an entire day of fishing ahead of the other 30 anglers, it was definately possible to get one a few ounces larger to beat Doug.

LOCAL ACE DOUG HELMUTH LANDED THIS 4 LB 1 OZ BASS TO START THE DAY

I had a decent month of pre-fishing the Dairyland Reservoir, and found most of my success fishing deep water with BABY SQUID BAITS. Naturally, this was how I started my day. Alex threw a green pumpkin Senko wacky rigged, while I worked the squid in 8-10 feet of water along weed edges, near boat docks, and along wood cover. I also carolina-rigged a Strike King Baby Rodent green pumpkin creature/beaver style craw bait at times. I had multiple very light hits early, and hooked about a 10" smallmouth that threw the hook halfway to the boat in 8 feet of water. Soon after that, I made a run upriver towards the County I bridge, and had multiple bites in one retrieve on the Baby Squid Bait. I felt like a school of smallmouth may be present. I casted again, and hooked into a possible 3lb or more smallmouth, much larger than any I ever caught on this body of water. I handed the rod to Alex and hoped he would land this beauty. I turned on the video camera and got ready to grab the net when the 9 year old angler accidentally allowed the smallmouth to gain some slack in the line, jump near the boat, and throw the hook. It was a tough moment for the young angler, and from that point on, in combination of wind & rain, he completely lost focus on fishing for the day. The rest of his day was spent snacking from his cooler and watching Dad cast and cast and cast without a single bite the rest of the tournament. It really hurt to land ZERO fish in a tournament that we threw, but after the tournament was over, we understood what worked for the other anglers, and learned a lot from our mistakes, making us better fall fisherman for the future.

As the day progressed, Kevin Rogalski and his partner Alex Whitmire boated a few here and there in short flurries in their 16' Crestliner. I returned to my spot where Alex lost his 3 lb bass two more times, trying carolina rigs, jerkbaits, senkos, and spinner baits. Still no luck. Later Team Rogalski/Whitmire hit the same area in which I felt a school was present, and landed 3 more legal tournament smallmouth on finesse baits. During this time, Mat Eichinger and John Beaudette caught a few on spinners, then went into a shallow bay with reeds and tried experimenting with topwater. Mat threw his custom HENG OUTDOORS airbrushed hard baits, and found a 38.5" musky, a pike, and a legal tournament smallmouth on his custom Whopper Plopper.

As the day progressed, a few boats could just simply not get bites, while others absolutely lit it up! Team Helmuth/Nelson kept their steady pace and climbed to the top. Scott Wilczek and his 8th grader nephew Carson, got onto some quality smallmouths. Carson also boated his first ever musky, at 35" long! Team Rogalski/Whitmire hit a small drought, biteless for a while. Mike Etzel was getting help from his teammate Tony Nelson, as their weight totals were slowly creeping up through the field. Dewey and Tou made another quick charge boating a quick 3 more pounds to the 10 they pounded at the start of the tournament. Then Anthony Xiong caught a true Wisconsin giant - a walleye weighing EIGHT POUNDS!! He also landed a nice smallmouth and got he and his partner Josh rolling....

UNCLE SCOTT WILCZEK LANDS ANOTHER NICE RIVER CHANNEL BASS

As Alex and I continued our disgusting struggles trying to get a bite, we paid less attention to fishing, and more attention to Scoretracker Live. We seen Mat and John make a steady climb, and saw their boat off in the distance. We wanted to catch up with them and BS a bit, but as we approached, John made a power hook set and hooked into a fish that refused to budge. I started the video and we were rolling footage. Here John's Beetle Spin hooked at 43" MUSKY!!!! We captured all of it on video, it was a crazy moment. I still can't believe the timing of this fish, it ended up being the largest fish (that didn't count) of the day. John was very proud of the beast and we got some great pictures of his catch.

JOHN BEAUDETTE WITH HIS 43" BEETLE SPIN MUSKY!

Getting towards the end of the tournament, the wind and rain picked up. The boats that were fish-less headed back to the ramp and called it a day. There was a 4 team race in contention for the win, including Dewey & Tou, Mat & John, Doug & Zach, and a late charge by Mike & Tony. Doug and Zach became the team to beat, but Mike Etzel got in a groove and found a school of smallies that were falling hard for his senkos. Mat & John squeaked out in front of Dewey and Tou by just ounces, then Mike turned up the heat in the final hour, landing a 2 lb 9 oz smallmouth, finishing the day with Tony's help by pounding out 20 lbs and 1 oz! They edged out the local aces Doug Helmuth & Zach Nelson's very impressive 15 lb 13 oz finish. Doug actually ran a shoreline with Zach right after I zeroed out on it, and landed 7 quick scorable fish in front of me. His early 4 lb 1 oz smallmouth held on for the Big Bass Award win after a long day of anglers aiming to beat it. These guys are very talented on their Flambeau waters!! Mat Eichinger and John Beaudette managed to take 3rd place with 13 lbs 12 oz on 9 fish. Kevin Rogalski & Alex Whitmire barely held of Scott & Carson, as Carson pulled a beautiful 2 lb 6 oz smallmouth just minutes before the tournament ended! After the fish was weighed, they were only behind Kevin & Alex by THREE OUNCES! What an intense tournament, and what a blast that was held by all!!

MIKE ETZEL'S 2 LB 9 OZ SMALLMOUTH, ONE OF SEVERAL LATE TOURNAMENT FISH LANDED WITH HIS PARTNER AND CO-CHAMPION TONY NELSON

James Gang Pro-Staffer Doc Gilles with a 4.5 lb Lake Erie Smallmouth Bass

FALL IS FINALLY HERE!

The long awaited fall season has finally arrived. Water temps are finally lowering from summertime temperatures. Last weekend the July-type weather seemed to really get the fish feeding. Water temps on Lake Erie in Ohio and Sturgeon Bay, WI were around 72 degrees, which was about the warmest it had gotten all year! Pretty crazy how cold the summer was and when fall arrives the temperatures actually increase for several days instead of decrease. We spend all of our time fishing the Dairyland Reservoir near Ladysmith, ever since Labor Day weekend, preparing for the Fall Flambeau Classic on October 14th. We had steady water temperatures from Labor Day all the way to early this week. Finally on Wednesday it dropped from 64-68 degrees, and on Saturday it dropped to 61. Some shallow flats late in the day in the sun did reach mid-60s. The change in temperatures made everyday a totally different day presentation wise. The early trips found success on minnow profile baits moving. Then Wednesday the bite changed completely to ultra-finesse. Pro-Staffer Kevin Rogalski actually landed a smallmouth puking up black larvae. The fish was in less than a foot of water. It was no wonder why we struggled so much. Now that the temperature has dropped close to 20 degrees in 6 days, it seems to have shifted the bass to their fall minnow forage base. Very strange bites, very difficult to get bit, but when you do it right, they hit with all they got, and fight with 100% anger! We are in the very early stages of fall fishing, and hopefully by the time the tournament arrives the temperature will drop into the 50s and we can get the giants to come up and hit bigger lures. We are not at that point yet. What is exciting is that on the last 3 trips in a row the fish lengths kept increasing. From 6-12" fish, to 13.5" fish to 14.25-16" fish. That may be directly related to the water temperature drop. One thing is for certain, they are extremely lean right now and need to fatten up quick to make this tournament very exciting. The Flambeau River is well-known for producing EXTREMELY girthy smallmouth bass. Right now our 14.25" fish are weighing in at about 1-6, and our 15-16" bass are not even at the 2 lb mark. Last November we weighed in a 16.5" and 16.75" at 3-14 and 3-13 on the Flambeau! They have a few weeks to fatten up and get more active, hopefully that will be the case.

PRO-STAFFER DOC GILLES & HIS CLAN FOUND INCREDIBLE SUCCESS ON LAKE ERIE

Pro-Staffer Doc Gilles and his goofball friends and family loaded up two pickup trucks full of crazy fish heads and road-tripped to Port Clinton, Ohio, in hopes for a pile of Walleyes with Coe Vanna Charters. What they ended up doing was incredible! They caught walleyes in crazy numbers the entire trip, I believe well over 100! They had doubles, even triples, and the fun never stopped. In between the walleyes they caught non-stop jumbo perch as well, and for a little bonus, they managed to land a few of them GIANT smallmouth bass that the Great Lakes are famous for. Doc actually landed the biggest smallmouth bass of his life, then shortly after, caught a clone version of the same fish - 19" at 4.5 pounds. Doc says that this trip was the best fishing trip of his life, and he has been around Canada many times. I would have to agree because it seems like nothing can match the Great Lakes in quality of fish. It is so much more intense when you KNOW on every cast that you have trophies present and even state record fish within a small range of you. The fish in the Great Lakes have great forage, and just simply get OLD! For more information on Coe Vanna Charters, check out Dave Whitt and the guys on the link below:

Pro Staffer Kevin Rogalski and his gang took a 3 day trip to Sturgeon Bay, WI this weekend, but unfortunately the cold weather brought in terribly dangerous winds. They had a very difficult time fishing in awful waves. Kevin did manage a few smallmouths, including a beautiful 3 lb 11 oz. Also on the final day, they had a 30+ inch walleye, estimated at around 12 pounds, but the fish broke off the 6 lb flourocarbon at the boat and ended up swimming away instead of swimming into the freezer at Kevin's taxidermist. Tough deal there, but now that the boys seen the potential of Door County fishing, they will be back for more and will put a giant in the boat in the future. The month of October is typically the month that really lights up with giant fish in Door County, and the finest guide you can hire is Dale Stroschein of Wacky Walleye Guide Service. Click on his link and let him take you out in his beautiful 21 foot Nitro 350 hp Verado extra deep and safe boat:

BEE WHACKERS & BABY SQUID BAITS

ANDREW DRAPER SCORES YET AGAIN ON HIS WHITE JAMES GANG BEE WHACKER

Andrew Draper is still tearing it up with his James Gang Fishing BEE WHACKER LM buzz baits! Now he submits a picture of a gorgeous smallmouth better than any I caught all year! Funny how we designed it for Largemouth and our customers kick our butts on our own baits with SMALLMOUTHS, our favorite fish. Thanks again for submitting this awesome picture, and best of luck with the muskies this October, Andrew. By the way, I hooked into an absolutely scary huge musky on the Dairyland Reservoir over the weekend on the BABY SQUID BAIT. This thing had a waist like the lure's designer himself (Alex James.) The fish was so girthy it didn't even look real! It was a very short, intense fight, I was completely caught off-guard and it hit at the boat. I had the drag too tight and didn't play it correctly at all, so when the giant made a speed burst under my prop, I didn't give it enough play in the rod and the lure came back at me, plastic all shredded in half. I honestly think this fish was 50+ inches. We tried reviving a 47 incher a few years ago on the Tiger Cat Flowage, this was MUCH larger. I wasn't too heart-broken, but man, it would have been nice to at least get a picture of this beast with Alex's lure design hanging out of his mouth. We were struggling bad bass fishing so we threw on the lure that seems to bail me out everytime I get skunked, the BABY SQUID BAIT. And it did catch the 4 biggest smallmouth of the day as well as the most. It has been my most productive lure on this lake over all my trips there since Labor Day. Hopefully it will continue over October, but the bite can change so fast in the fall, it seems.

eBAY & LURE AVAILABILITY

Our lure inventory is getting much smaller as the fishing season is coming to a close. We stopped ordering parts in July, and are running out what we have on our eBay listings. Stanley Jigs has been out of weighted frog hooks for several months, so the bass sized DUNKIN FROGS are all sold out for 2017. We have just a few larger DUNKIN FROGS for northern pike and musky available on eBay. We have designed and tested a new HD musky version for 2018 with a longer body and skirt, it looked awesome on the lake. It will come out in time for the Madison Fishing Expo in February. Also the BEE WHACKER has a new MUSKY version coming out in 2018 as well. We experimented with trailers and found a Kalin's Mogambo Grub to give it the best look on the water. This lure was inspired by Andrew Draper's continued success on the bass version. We upgraded the musky version from 250# wire to 500# Toothproof Stainless Steel. HD stainless steel split rings. VMC HD 7/0 weedless hook as well. This lure sprays a good amount of water and may be a cheaper lure even though the quality is outstanding. All of our Bee Whackers LM & SM, Weedless and Non-Weedless are sold out for the year. We have Squid Bait parts, but found our new red blade does tarnish, so we will stop selling white & red this year and find a new supplier. We have a small amount of Green Pumpkin, but plenty of white bodies with high quality chartreuse blades as well as nickel available. We have quite a few firetiger Lovertail 2s left in stock, a few in Bull Bluegill, and a small quantity of other color variations. The Lovertail 2 is the kind of lure that could really catch you a giant in the fall! In fact, if we are struggling mid-day in the tournament, we will stop pursuing the heaviest weight win, put on a white Lovertail 2 and try and catch the biggest smallmouth bass that lives on the Dairyland Reservoir! The Lovertail 2 has caught some real Wisconsin trophies, on multiple occasions, when Tyler Theide gets to flinging that lure out of his kayaks. Hopefully Alex can one-up him on tournament day and win the Big Bass Award.

And with fall here, scents can be the difference maker! Put on some JB'S FISH SAUCE on all your finesse baits. He has baitfish scent for the minnow profiles, crawfish scent for jigs, tubes, creature baits, as well as Kevin Rogalski's favorite scent, ANISE, and a few others (coffee, garlic, etc.) It will help on a tough day, it caught me a few on a hair jig on the brutally tough, but productive cold front day earlier this week!!

UW - Stout Sponsorship, Fall Flambeau Classic, BASS Angler of the year....

James Gang Fishing sponsoring UW STOUT!

We are very proud to have the new UW Stout bass fishing team represent us for the 2018 season!! This year's team was very competitive, making it all the way to the Bassmaster College National Championship!! We are looking forward to meeting these kids and are excited to introduce their tackle boxes to our lures.

FALL FLAMBEAU CLASSIC UPDATE

I have finally gotten the chance to learn the layout of the Dairyland Reservoir for the October 14th tournament. I have been searching for big mama, but with this warm water hanging around, all I am coming across is the juvenile bass. Water temps are still around 74 degrees today. We need a nice drop to get the fall gorging of minnows in full effect. Hopefully the seasonal weather in the next 4 weeks will make this lake prime for the tournament. I chose this lake to challenge myself with no prior experience on it, also because of the huge trophy smallmouth bass this lake is known for. In four short trips of 3+ hour days, I have managed about 18 smallmouth bass ranging from 6-14" with a top weight of about 1.5 lbs. The bass in this lake are aggressive in weather fronts and very moody on high pressure days. They will bite in cold fronts but you must be very patient. So right now I am not a contender at all. The whole lake looks beautiful for cover, therefore we will have to cover a lot of water on game day to locate some healthy schools of fish. We are near full capacity for boats, so get your RSVP in on this site under the events menu. We will contact the invitees at the end of the month and confirm entries, as well as collect the fees. Here are some pictures of bass that I have landed recently that will not win me any trophies:

2017 BASSMASTER AOY CHAMPIONSHIP

A special congrats to the 2017 Bassmaster Angler Of the Year, Brandon Palaniuk! Brandon is a great guy, a very hard worker, and likes to fish in areas others aren't willing to check out, and seems to find a way to locate winning fish without the same patterns used by others. He is very talented, and became an Elite at a very young age. Brandon has won it all in the Bassmaster Federation Nation, came close to winning the Bassmaster Classic at times, won three Bassmaster Elite events, and now won the toughest trophy of all professional sports. Consistency over a season in the Bassmaster Elites is so tough, but he made great decisions all year and trusted his gut feelings with everything on the line. With 6 minutes left before weigh in Friday on Mille Lacs, his season was blown, until he dropped his drop shot one last time and hooked a SIX POUND smallmouth! BMP Fishing is amazing. Check out all of his films this year of him competing on the trail to victory on his website. Great job, Brandon, enjoy your championship and celebrate this entire off-season. You deserve it!

YEE-HAW!!!!!

Alex and the James Gang hope you are all having a blast on this gorgeous holiday weekend cooking weens & sweet corn on the fire, eating s'mores, catching smallmouth bass, tearing up the ATV trails, shooting guns, or whatever it is you do for fun. Hopefully you are not spending it at work. We are excited for the upcoming fall Major League fishing Tournament to be held on Dairyland Reservoir near Ladysmith, WI Oct 14, and decided to camp there this weekend to see the lake for the first time. The lake is very rocky, with lots of boulders, gravel, and wood cover all over the shorelines. There are several feeder creeks along the lake shore. Cribs, fish habitat areas, log bundles, and cinder block structures are located throughout the lake. We covered about 50% of the lake with a slow drive through, watching side imaging and for structure and cover changes. It seems like the cover is awesome everywhere, and it will be tough to find the magic spots to get on the winning patterns for this tournament. Current was very slow, and the southern winds actually overpowered the light current, unless you were right in front of the Big Falls Flowage NSP hydros. We had 1 bar of WEAK 3G cell reception north of County Road I bridge, but had solid 4G reception near the Memorial Park boat ramp and at the Einar Johnson Memorial Park launch on DAM RD. I was able to load up Scoretracker live at both ramps without a problem, so we should be good to go for the tournament. I use Verizon for service. Usually the AT&T people do better than me in most places. Sprint people, you better have the score card ready if its anything like the Red Cedar Lake tournament. We will provide scorecards again for back-up scoring if network service is an issue.

Dunkin Frog Musky & Dunkin Frog Bee Whacker Testing

After Andrew Draper's continued success with Muskies on our Dunkin Frog and Bee Whacker bass lures, we decided to bend up some musky-grade prototypes to test over the holiday weekend. The musky version is upgraded to 500# toothproof stainless steel wire, a HD stainless steel split ring, larger HD hooks, longer bodies, and added silicone skirts. The action of both on the water were pretty good, I loved the action of the Dunkin Frog Musky, I felt that the Bee Whacker would be more appealing to the musky and the angler with a shorter, thicker, meaty grub rather than the long Kalin's swimbait that we tested it with. We will look at our options this fall and get it right in time to bend up a few for the Madison Fishing Expo in February. The bright colors of the hot feet Ribbit really popped and the large buzz blade threw water nicely, and was very visable from a distance. The Bee Whacker sprayed a lot and made plenty of noise, the black was very subtle and it looked great coming across the surface. I think we weighted both lures correctly to please the anglers. Apparently young muskies love to eat frogs, but so do nice chunky smallmouth bass! Check out these pictures Andrew Draper has sent us of his recent Dunkin Frog catches:

16" Smallmouth around THREE POUNDS!

Thank you Andrew for sending us your pictures!

Tyler and Chang of Small Craft Outfitters have had a busy summer and are super excited to get you out fishing this fall!! They really lit it up last fall and have high expectations with the cooler water temps coming and the fall bite picking up. According the reports, Tori R. dominated amongst the kayak anglers this weekend in numbers of bass caught. Check out the fun times they had in pictures below For more information on how to book a kayak guided trip, or to rent a premium FEEL FREE kayak, click the link below:

RSVP IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE FALL FLAMBEAU CLASSIC BY SEPTEMBER 30!!!

CLICK HERE FOR INFO AND RSVP ON FALL FLAMBEAU CLASSIC

OCTOBER 14, 2017 is the day that we will hold our Fall Major League Fishing event near Ladysmith, WI on the Dairyland Reservoir (Flowage.) This is a catch-weigh-photo-release bass tournament ran by Major League Fishing Scoretracker Live mobile website. Each boat needs one smartphone in it, and must RSVP on our site so we have your email and can set up your scoring access. You will receive a PIN number at the tournament on a card and be required to show the PIN in the photo with each fish, and you will use the PIN to enter every fish. Trolling of lures WILL be permitted. This is an INVITATIONAL, so we are taking RSVPs until Sept 30, then inviting from the list of interested angler teams. Our priority is to get anglers from the previous event in the tournament first, since we had no issues with honesty and integrity from that 15-person field. We will then have to even up the kayak anglers so they are all paired with a partner for scoring, preferably by the angler's choice. We will accept invites from club tournament anglers as well, but we WILL NOT be inviting any Bassmaster Opens anglers, or any BASSMASTER FEDERATION state championship team members. We are interested in bringing some decent competition, but we don't need a guy out there that fishes everyday destroying primarily weekend anglers. No offense to those guys, its actually a complement as far as I am concerned. We chose a $20 entry fee to interest the weekend anglers that typically aren't club anglers, possibly for financial reasons, etc. Our last entry fee was only $30 and the field had a blast competing with each other in small engine boats, kayaks, etc. I encourage anyone with a jonboat or even a canoe to enter and you will have a very good chance at winning in any craft you bring. 2 of us in a 200 hp combined for one fish at the last tournament, yet the winner was in a kayak! There is NO CLOSED practice time, and sharing of information is ABSOLUTELY ALLOWED. This is designed to be a "FUN" tournament, so honesty and integrity is EXPECTED! All bass 12" or longer will be weighed, photoed, and added to your score. The goal is to catch 85 bass and have 100 lbs on your score. But we also will have a cash prize and framed certificate for the biggest single bass weighed in of the day. As of now we have ONE trophy ready to go for the winning team, if the team is not made up of family members / roommates, we will get a 2nd matching trophy made up and shipped to the winning partner's address. The trophy is 14" tall and pretty cool looking. I personally have NEVER fished this lake, and I am looking forward to a challenge. The lake has trophy potential, the Flambeau River feeds it and there are some giants in this lake. People have weighed confirmed 6 pound smallmouth in this lake at local sport shops and had them mounted. BTW with DNR laws for this particular tournament, ALL FISH MUST BE IMMEDIATELY RELEASED AFTER THE WEIGHT AND PHOTOS ARE TAKEN! NO FISH GOING TO THE TAXIDERMIST! That would put our tournament in violation with licensing! Also if you throat hook a fish, cut the line or the hook as far down the hook shaft as possible. Do your best, if a fish dies, I guess an Eagle gets supper, but our goal is to not kill any fish in this tournament. Wear your life jacket when the motor is running, and if you have a motorized boat, we recommend to have boater insurance! We WILL NOT be responsible for any accidents of any kind. Be kind, be patient, give people room and respect, communicate when close to others, follow all state fishing laws, and have fun out there! If anyone has issues scoring with their smart phone such as dead battery, bad service, a backup scorecard and marker will be provided to every angler in the tournament at the launch. Jot your scores on the card and we will update at the "weigh-in" after the tournament. We did this last time and it went quite well. The sprint guys had issues, ATT & Verizon did great at the last location, we will test out reception Labor Day Weekend and Sept 30th for Verizon and ATT. Being so close to Ladysmith I am hoping service will not be an issue.

If you are possibly interested in fishing this event, It is a 2-person team tournament with only a $20 entry fee per angler. Click on our EVENTS menu for more information and for RSVPs/booking...

MASON, MOLLY, & ALEX ARE READY TO HEAD OUT FROM THE POPPLE LAKE RAMP AND GET FISHING!!!

ALEX'S FISHING SHOW - 2017

We finally finished up Alex's Fishing Show for 2017. We improved very little on camera stability, its hard to keep it steady when watching the kids and keeping close to keep them from getting hooked or falling in the water. Also jumping bench seats for nets, etc makes it difficult at times. I am really happy with the background music I used this year, and I worked on doing a better job fading videos out for the next scene. We started out really struggling this spring, water temps were stuck and the post spawn was the toughest I ever faced, drawn out and brutally tough fishing.

When the summer water temps finally hit, fishing became fantastic! We didn't have one single disappointing trip this summer whatsoever.

We started with Great Grandma Shirley Squirrely. We had a blast with her and saw more wildlife on the drive home than ever before. We then got out on the river bank night fishing, then got up north with Sam, and finished up on Popple lake this weekend with the twins. Every trip was fun and every guest caught good fish by the time our trip was over.

A SPECIAL Thank You goes out to KEVIN VANDAM, AARON MARTENS, MIKE IACONELLI, & BRANDON PALANIUK for the intros to the Alex Fishing Show!!!!!

ALEX IS THE CHAMP!

2017 Sarona Cup Champion - 18.5" Largemouth Bass - 3 lbs 9 oz

We have had great lure sales in July, our best month ever. We are on track to double our sales from 2016! Thank you to all of our awesome customers and continue to send us your fish catch pictures on our lures! We still have a small number of James Gang Flexfit hats remaining in both L/XL and S/M sizes. Our Dunkin Frogs completely sold out in Bass Size, and it is appearing that we may be out for the year! Stanley Jigs has completely ran out of their 4/0 Double Take Frog Hooks. We are still building the larger Musky/Pike/Giant Largemouth Dunkin Frog with the 5/0 Double Take hook, in fact Ross's Sport Shop in Phillips just placed another order of them and our skirted Bee Whacker LM and will be stocking them in a few weeks. We have a decent amount of Lovertail 2's still in stock, and have the parts to build about 4 more custom Lovertail 2 Musky Waakers. We have a lot of parts to make several BABY SQUID BAITS, and tis lure was by far our #1 lure of 2017 for catching fish. Also, the biggest fish of the year, no question. I think this lure will be absolutely incredible in the fall months.

MOLLY, MASON, & ALEX stop for some groceries on the way to Popple Lake

2017 JAMES GANG FALL FLAMBEAU CLASSIC

Major League Fishing - CATCH - PHOTO- WEIGH - IMMEDIATE RELEASE TOURNAMENT

We are holding a fall tournament on the Dairyland Flowage near Ladysmith, WI on October 14, 2017. Entry fee is $20. This is an invitational event. For more information, click on our "EVENTS" menu and fill out the RSVP if you are interested in competing in this event. This is a "fun" event, so we expect honesty from all anglers chosen to compete. 100% of the entry fees will be paid out to the angler with the most weight, and the angler with the heaviest bass of the tournament. This will be unique being that it is based on an afternoon/evening bite and has a late start time. As of today we have 13 anglers very interested.

FALL FLAMBEAU BEAUTIES - 16.75" @ 3 lb 13 oz & 16.5" @ 3 lb 14 oz!

We have parked the GENERAL LEE boat until Labor Day weekend. We will fish hard in the early to mid fall period and take a break during the month of August. Have a fun summer fishing, and check out 11-year-old Sariah Maylee below. She competed in the MIDWEST HMONG OUTDOORS Junior Tournament on Bald Eagle Lake, MN this past weekend, with no experience on this body of water. Sariah managed to boat a full 4 bass limit with off shore deep water tactics on her dad's secret finesse lures. Way to go Sariah!!

JAMES GANG CEO ALEX JAMES & HIS FISHING PARTNER SAM H. POSE WITH TWO BIG WASHBURN COUNTY LARGEMOUTH BASS CAUGHT ON OUR BABY SQUID BAIT

SQUID BAITS ON FIRE!

After the struggles of the drawn-out cold spring, we finally have found some fantastic success in the last several weeks. In the last three fishing trips, we landed quality fish during every trip! We have found that our BABY SQUID BAIT is an excellent lure when the fish are deep, but also in stained water we can catch them at any depth with our brighter colored variations. Our green pumpkin with a nickel-plated spinner blade is the one to throw in clear water. I found success last year in late summer on Lake Michigan on this color, and lately a clear lake in the Shell Lake area has been producing some outstanding fish on this color as well. Also, our white body/chartreuse blade worked well in stained waters, such as the Mississippi River and a few other stained lakes in the region. I fished Lake Menomin on July 4, and got into fish at all 3 areas I worked over. I had no previous experience there, and the algae bloom was severe, water clarity was around a foot, tops. I landed a pike on my 3rd cast of the short trip, and later hooked into a largemouth and smallmouth bass under the I94 bridge on the bright variation. I did land a beauty on our Flappin Jig with bright colors and a Trokar hook as well..

ALEX & SAM HEADED OUT IN THE CRAWFISH BANDIT FOR SOME BASSIN'

Alex and his fishing buddy Sam H. headed out with me on July 13th to break Alex's bad streak in 2017 of not catching bass. He turned it around big time, getting a 19" (+/- 1 inch margin of error) to the boatside while Sam and he tried netting it for 17 seconds. A few errors were made by both parties and the bass had enough, throwing his squid bait and leaving the scene. Even though he failed to land the giant, only 10 minutes later he found another beast on his squid bait, and this time Sam & him teamed up and landed the bass perfectly. The fish measured 18.5" on the bumpboard and weighed 3 lbs 9 oz on the digital scale! This is the second largest bass of Alex's life, and naturally he screamed Iaconelli - style as he celebrated.

18.5" LARGEMOUTH BASS CAUGHT ON HIS BABY SQUID INVENTION FROM 2015

Sam boated the first fish of the trip - a nice 23" Northern Pike. It battled hard at the boat and took the fight under the boat for a while. Sam had a blast battling this angry guy and it hit the Squid Bait will 100% effort

23" NORTHERN PIKE SAM H. BATTLED WITH A BABY SQUID BAIT

Time was winding down, and it was about time to fire up the Evinrude and head back home. In the final minutes, Sam picked a fight with a thick 16" Largemouth bass, weighing in at 2 lbs 11 oz on our digital scale. Another fine battle and another fish that drilled the Squid Bait with full force and gave us plenty to celebrate and be proud of!

SAM PROUDLY DISPLAYS HIS 2 lb 11 OZ LARGEMOUTH AT 16" LONG

We ran out of time, pulled the two beauties out of the livewell, took some pictures and like always, we released them to fight again. A great tip by MARK ZONA, Bassmaster host and host of his own ZONA'S AWESOME FISHING SHOW - always kidnap your better legal bass. At the end of the day, you end up with a multiple fish photo opportunity before you release them. We made some great memories after a fun night of swimming, camping, McDonalds Playplace, fishing, and playing tag in the yard while shooting each other with Nerf guns James Bond style.

THE DAILY LUNKER WINNER - ALEX JAMES WITH THE SARONA CUP AND A 3-9 LARGEMOUTH BASS!!!

There is nothing more fun than spending time in the outdoors with children. Start them young and they will impress you with incredible accomplishments. A 4 year old boy had a crazy idea to start a lure company, and within a few years established it, had great sales, come up with outstanding lure designs that catch fish when store bought lures don't, and possibly an opportunity to pursue his business as an adult. Take a kid fishing and teach them about how much fun the outdoors can be!! For tips or information on this fantastic opportunity, look up the IKE FOUNDATION at www.theikefoundation.org.

Shirts, hats, etc...

Our shirts have arrived, and all but 1 have already been sold. We do have one XXL Orange long sleeve performance fishing shirt available for sale, and will be listed on eBay quite soon. Our navy blue versions were incredible, and MBC Sports once again impressed us. Our Flex Fit hats are on the way, expected to be ready by the end of the month. 8 L/XL and 4 S/M are coming. Most L/XL are already sold, and we will not order more until the 2018 Madison Fishing Expo. Let us know right away if you are interested in a hat, they probably won't last long! Also Ross's Sport Shop has run low on the larger Dunkin Frogs (5/0 Hook), and will have us build another variety of colors in a shipment around the end of the month! Best of luck fishing, and check out Tori and her 9" bluegill caught in the past week!!

FREEDOM TO CATCH FISH!!!!!

Get your boats out the next 2 days and watch some fireworks on the water!!! Thank you to all of our customers that have made the 2017 season a great success so far! The positive remarks about us and our lures has meant a lot to us. The support of our PRO STAFF has been fantastic as well, as it seems like lately they all have been lighting it up everywhere! I think the most fun is interacting with anglers online and seeing their excitement about our lures and talking back and forth about their big fish catches. Especially the younger dudes. Keep the pictures coming, and check out this beast that Andrew Draper caught yesterday on our BEE WHACKER LARGEMOUTH he purchased at Oemig's Sport Shop in Stanley, WI. If you have never been there, you better get there and check out their amazing shop!

SUMMER FISHING IS HERE!

Finally, the dragged out, awful (for me) messed up 2017 spawn deal is OVER!!! After water temperatures refused to rise for about a month it seemed, I simply failed to catch fish. I seen a lot of them sight fishing, and they were not in the mood to hit what they did last year when sight fishing, Everywhere I went was a struggle. I fished a tournament on Dells Pond on June 10th, and managed to boat ONE bass, under legal size, and weighed in ZERO pounds personally. My partner, JAZ DUNCAN managed to bring a few to the scales, but you can pretty much just say that I finished 18th out of 18 anglers. Bye bye entry fee....

Congratulations to BASSMASTER OPENS Angler Scott Pellegrin & his partner Dylan Kierstead for winning the Dells Pond Open in the UNDER 100 SPORTS LEAGUE. Justin Rowe ran a fun tournament and the competitors were great guys.

I had a 2 day window this weekend to get out and fish like crazy. The barometer was high, which is about my biggest fear, and I went aggressive after them anyway. I got pounded with off and on storms, and the shallow water action was non-existant. I used my Marcum ice fishing flasher (since my 3 year old Humminbird died FOR GOOD) and located a mess of fish in deep water. After failing to even see a single bass whatsoever in the several hours I fished, I decided to tie on Alex's BABY SQUID BAIT design. This is the lure that saved my horrible Lake Michigan trip last year on Big Bay de Noc and turned it around for me. Well it did the same for me yesterday and today. Yesterday I caught a 13.5" Largemouth Bass in DEEEEEEP water. Then I lost about a 4+ 19" to 20" monster bass. I went "IKE" and screamed at the bass in joy knowing I started a successful pattern on a very difficult, clear lake. Other anglers came flying over after hearing me celebrate. To bluff them, I went back to the shallows throwing the Dunkin Frog like the topwater bite was happening. They hung out a while catching none, and left. I then went deep on the SQUID, and caught legal bass after legal bass. At one point I caught 4 fish on four casts in a row. I ran all over this lake looking for matching structure, and everytime I did, I caught fish. I landed an 18" largemouth at 3-10, a 17", a pile of 15s, and a few pike. It was an incredible half an hour late in the day.

BABY SQUID BAIT PRODUCES 17" & 18" WASHBURN COUNTY BASS

The following morning, James gang Pro Staffer KEVIN MARTINEK, joined me on a small lake in the Chippewa County forest. We hit the water pretty early and started with topwaters. We had steady action on small stunted bass in the 11-13.5" range the entire time, landing 12 and missing a bunch more. We tried for gills on bobbers later but they seemed inactive with the high barometer and heavy wind issues. We scored one on the Dunkin Frog, 6 more on a Stanley Baby Ribbit, and 4 more on the Molix Lover. We had a blast having the bass explode on our lures, even though they were all under legal bag limit sizes.

A HEALTHY CHIPPEWA COUNTY BASS THAT FELL FOR THE MOLIX LOVER LURE DESIGNED BY MIKE IACONELLI

THE LARGEMOUTH BASS WERE CHOKING ON THE STANLEY BABY RIBBIT IN THE SHALLOW LILY PADS!

After Kevin and I left the Chippewa County forest lake, we hauled the CRAWFISH BANDIT back up to Washburn County to hopefully continue on my previous night's pattern. Unfortunately the pattern changed. It was still there but not nearly as effective as the previous night. Also some smaller bass moved in shallower and it seemed like the bigger bass went even deeper yet. But as it was getting boring, Kevin tied on a squid bait for the first time ever. He caught one on his first cast and a few more shortly after that. I found some luck on a DEEEEEEP brushpile, and was very surprised to find a complete multi-species location. My first fish I hook was another beast of a largemouth, around 18." He tossed my lure on the way in and hurt my feelings. We circled back and I landed a very nice 25" Northern Pike. As we circled back again, I was shocked to land a 19.5" walleye pike on our BABY SQUID BAIT. Jaz Duncan had informed us in a tournament pre-fishing deal on Red Cedar Lake, that the walleyes were hitting that lure. I had no clue they even existed in the lake that we were fishing, so it was a lot of fun pulling him into the boat. On our final pass, I boated a solid legal smallmouth bass that fought and fought and fought. He had a great attitude and I appreciated his company. It was a great 2 days of fishing and I felt like I accomplished a lot by learning more fish movement in clear water, expanding on tactics taught to me by Pro Guide, Dale Stroschein, and managing to catch a very strong weight of legal bass the first night, and a nice mix of species the second day on Alex's awesome lure. The time in Chippewa County was a blast as well, seeing smaller, more aggressive largemouth pound lures in the shallows.

JAMES GANG FISHING COMPANY CEO ALEX JAMES PATIENTLY WAITS FOR A BITE ON THE BANK OF THE CHIPPEWA RIVER AT NIGHT IN LATE JUNE

CEO, LURE DESIGNER, & COMPANY FOUNDER ALEX JAMES headed out to the Chippewa River in search of delicious catfish at night last week. Unfortunately, the catfish were not biting at our spot. Fortunately, a 13" Freshwater Drum (aka Sheepshead) decided to eat our nightcrawler within the first 5 minutes of bank fishing. We proudly took our Sheepshead home to fry up with some crappies left over in the freezer Saturday. We used our Ultimate Panfish Recipe that is available on this website. In complete honesty, that drum was better than ANY crappie or walleye I have EVER eaten in my life. We fried the drum with the crappies, and the drum was much tastier. It made a fantastic breakfast before attending Mopar Man's wedding to his wonderful new wife Rebecca.
