“Stars Have to Align Perfectly” to Make Bassmaster ® Century Club

21-Jul-2021

Long before he became a fulltime professional bass tournament angler, Patrick Walters created his own bucket list of goals, including joining the Bassmaster® Century Club. That meant weighing in 100 pounds or more of bass during a four-day Bassmaster ® Elite tournament.

Yamaha-Powered Family Creates Lasting Bonds Fishing Together

26-May-2021

For Guy Engebretson, fishing is one of life’s focal points and an activity that continues to draw his family closer together. The Wisconsin-based angler and his wife Angela started taking their children, Cole (18) and Julia (15), fishing as soon as they were old enough to safely spend time on the water. Their regular outings on big water over the years created a passion for fishing in addition to multiple opportunities for uninterrupted family bonding. 
 

Jason Christie Won’t Forget His Recent Elite Win

11-May-2021

Jason Christie has been a bass fisherman for more than 35 years, long enough that he can’t remember his first largemouth or even his first bass tournament, but chances are the Yamaha Pro won’t soon forget his Bassmaster® Elite victory on the Sabine River in Texas this past April.
 

Lowen’s Ohio River Experience Led To Elite Win On Pickwick

15-Apr-2021

Unlike most of his contemporaries fishing the Bassmaster Elite Series, Bill Lowen’s comfort zone includes fishing in high, muddy, fast-moving water.  That’s what the Yamaha Pro found during the March 20-23 tournament on Alabama’s Pickwick Lake, and it never slowed him down.
 

Scott Martin ‘Starting Over’ After 20 Years of Professional Fishing

25-Mar-2021

Even though his professional fishing career began in 2000, Scott Martin describes his 2021 season as a “new beginning,” and now after his third Bassmaster® Elite Series tournaments, the Yamaha Pro has two goals.  He wants to qualify for the Bassmaster Classic, and he wants to win the Bassmaster Classic®.
 

Safety Gear Review & Maintenance

24-Feb-2021

For most of the country boating is in the deep freeze or at least curtailed due to winter weather, but we are all looking forward to warmer weather and the upcoming boating and fishing season, and that means this is a great time to review your boat’s safety gear, something that should be done on a regular basis. Yamaha always recommends safe and responsible boating practices, stressing the importance of having adequate safety equipment onboard and maintaining it in good working condition. With that in mind, let’s review the U.S. Coast Guard required safety gear for recreational vessels and what to look for to make sure it is in shape for the upcoming season.
 

Australian Angler Carl Jocumsen Fulfilling His American Fishing Dream

26-Jan-2021

The record book shows the 2019 Bassmaster® Elite Series tournament at Lake Tenkiller lasted four days, but for Australian angler Carl Jocumsen, who won that season-ending event, the tournament really lasted nine years. The Yamaha Pro had been in America that long struggling to fulfill his dream of having a professional fishing career in the United States.
 

Fishing with Helm Master EX

16-Dec-2020

If saltwater fishing is your passion, you and your boat could have a new indispensable fishing tool—Helm Master® EX. It can make your fishing more precise, more productive, even less strenuous, and you can only get it with Yamaha Outboards. 
 

Wendlandt Thankful But Humbled After Winning Fourth AOY Title

20-Nov-2020

A week after Clark Wendlandt had won his fourth Angler of the Year title, his first in the Bassmaster® Elite Series after winning three with the FLW® pro tour, the Yamaha Pro still had difficulty putting the experience into words.

Upgrade Your Electronics to Catch More Fish

05-Oct-2020

Today’s marine electronics give anglers the tools needed to skip the lengthy search for fish and proceed directly to the fun part: catching them!

If you’re one of those people who don’t replace anything until it breaks and this also includes your fishfinder/GPS, there’s a good chance you have been left behind during the most amazing periods of advancement in marine electronics history. The biggest quantum leap occurred in 2009 when CHIRP technology migrated from the military to recreational fishing. Previously, sonar signals from fishfinders were a single-frequency, short-duration pulse sent out and returned that sometimes created an uncertain image on the screen… especially on the bottom. Is that a rock or a big fish? Higher in the column, the separation was such it was sometimes hard to distinguish between weeds and fish, and between big and small fish. The older units required experienced eyes to know what they were seeing.

DIY - Winterize Your Yamaha Four-Cylinder Outboard

01-Oct-2020

Yamaha offers a popular line of four-cylinder four-stroke outboards that are used in a wide range of single and twin installation applications, in both fresh and saltwater, all over the world. From pontoons to center consoles, bass boats to work skiffs and even water taxis, they are great performers and real workhorses. The most popular are the F90, F115 and F150 models, and many are used in climates where they are taken out of service for the winter months. 
 
While there’s definitely merit in having your outboard winterized by a certified Yamaha dealer, the process is simple enough for owners to do themselves when armed with the right tools, products, and a bit of proper education.

Research, Pre-Planning Help This Pro Find Summer Bass

12-Aug-2020

We recently caught up with the now 35-year-old Chris “Zaldangerous” Zaldain and asked him if he still uses the same methods to plan ahead. Chris stated, “This article highlights a scenario that happens frequently on tour, no matter which lake. I still study the lakes as much as I can prior to fishing them.” 

For second-year Bassmaster® Elite tournament angler Chris Zaldain, finding bass on lakes he’s never fished before involves a lot more than casting his favorite lure and hoping it lands in front of a hungry fish. The Yamaha Pro actually starts “fishing” a new tournament lake with hours of Internet research and map study weeks before he ever arrives at the water’s edge, a strategy especially important during the summer months when bass may be shallow, deep, or anywhere in between. 

"The grass is always greener, but what you don’t know is that grass may be fake. Even though it’s greener, doesn’t mean it’s real.”

12-May-2020

“The grass is always greener, but what you don’t know is that grass may be fake. Even though it’s greener, doesn’t mean it’s real.”
 
That’s one of my favorite quotes these days. There are lots of people out there wishing for different situations right now. Wishing to get out of the house, to travel, to stop homeschooling, to find a new job, to eat at a restaurant, to hang out with friends, to visit loved ones who are ill - even wishing for a break from very long hours caring for others who are sick and need attention. Our situations are all different and so many are dealing with great loss. It’s really hard to pull any positive thoughts out of the most devastating situations, but maybe one of the lessons we can take from this is to have a better appreciation for what is real.
 

Spring into the Boating Season

04-Mar-2020

Spring is right around the corner promising warmer, longer days and more opportunities to get out on the water. For boaters in cooler climates, the pending arrival of spring means it’s time to get busy prepping their boats for the first official splash of the season.
 

Coast Guard Safety Inspections

04-Mar-2020

Are you ready to pass a Coast Guard safety inspection? Coast Guard policy requires safety inspections as a method of outreach to the boating public to impress upon them the importance of carrying the necessary safety equipment in case of an emergency. When your boat is properly equipped, you can enjoy your time on the water even more with the peace of mind that you and your passengers are safe. These preventative inspections can happen at anytime so it’s important to make sure you are always ready. As these hard-working men and women of the Coast Guard put their lives on the line when called on to make hazardous rescues at sea, boaters need to prepare for and respect these inspections so that they are completed quickly and efficiently.
