The first stop for many of the Bassmaster Elite pros upon arriving in Orange last Saturday was a five hour “meet and greet” affair hosted by Simon’s Outfitters.

Pan after pan of boudain, sausage, ribs and brisket that would melt in your mouth kept the majority of those in atten...

“That’s just stupid, that is just stupid” said my partner for the day Mike Mcbride, “I can’t believe you can get these fish to eat topwater plugs in 7 feet of water”. Our drift along the east shore line of Sabine had produced some very respectable fish that no wade fisherman could have ever reached.
