Thank You!

Ladies and Gentleman,
It was my absolute privilege recently to fish with some of the finest military personnel from Fort Lewis, WA. The event was put on by the Evergreen Bass Club and The Cast for Kids group.

I had the pleasure to fish with SGT. Armando Martinez U.S. Army 62nd Medical brigade. He served an incredible five tours of duty in Iraq for our country! We had a great day of fishing and had a nice BBQ afterwards with raffle prizes for all the troops who participated.
Thank you Armando and all others who have served; we appreciate your sacrifice.

All of us on the Dobyns Rod team are very proud of Dez"s accomplishments and see a very bright future for him in the winners circle. Good job Dez!!!!

Jones and Gates take 3rd Place at the 2011 Berkley Open at Lake Sammamish

This was a tough tournament! My partner and I weighed in just under 10 pounds and managed to take 3rd place and cash a check.

The smallmouth that we caught came from 15 to 25 feet of water and they were on or near rock piles. My choice for a drop shot bait that landed me two fish was a small profile style bait. This tournament for us was about down-sizing and finesse.

My partner Ryan Gates, managed to catch a largemouth pitchin baits in shallow water. We saw some fish up cruising later in the day but they where very skittish because they had just moved up to shallow water and where tough to catch.

One thing that Ryan and I did all day was keep a good attitude and laughed alot. I really believe this kept us calm and focused during the day. I think over-stressing when on the water will lead to bad decisions and keeping a good attitude will eventually put you in the money.

FLW College Western Divisional- Folsom Lake, CA.

I recently had the pleasure to work (volunteer) at the FLW College Western Divisional at Folsam Lake in California. This is a College team tournament put on by FLW Outdoors on October 6th- 9th. The top 20 teams in the Western division earned honors to be at this event by qualifing through FLW College tournaments prior to the event. The top five teams at this event advance to the Nationals.

(Above: Kevin with Anthony Lee of San Jose State and a Sonoma State team member.)

The team that ended up taking first place was Sacramento State and they received a check for $50,000.00, a fully rigged Ranger Boat and their entry fees paid for the National Championship.

The top five team finalists pose for photos at the FLW College Fishing Western Regional Championship. (Pictured below are the top five finishing college teams.Sacramento State is in back holding the winning check for $50,000.00.)

Each of the teams had their own fully rigged 2010 or 2011 Ranger Boat to use. My job at this event was to keep those boats in good running condition and I fished one of the days as a observer with the San Jose State Team. I traveled to the event with one of the best Ranger Service techs in the business, Mr. Willie Nelson. Willie taught me a few things and I learned just how much he knows about Ranger Boats. We are very lucky to have him living here in Washington State to help all of us Ranger Boat Owners. When Willie isn't working at the FLW events you can reach him at Pacific Boatland in Vancouver, Washington selling and servicing Ranger Boats. (www.pacificboatland.com)

It was truly an awsome experience to be around so much energy and to see all the excitement this event brought to the students of various western colleges. I was impressed with how polite and appreciative they where. For more information on this event visit www.flwoutdoors.com

In closing, I would just like to say thank you to The Hook Up Tackle (www.thehookuptackle.com) and Sniper Baits (www.sniperlures.com) for the sample packs and discount coupons that I was able to provide all the College teams.
