OD on B.A.S.S. – St. Lawrence River

by JD Blackburn

2018 Bassmaster Elite Series St. Lawrence River Waddington, NY 31st Place 15 fish | 60-00 The Elite Series has visited the St. Lawrence River three times prior to this season, and after starting off strong with a 3rd place finish in 2013, I struggled the next two times, ending up a disappointing 78th and 99th.

OD on B.A.S.S. Lake Travis

by JD Blackburn

2018 Bassmaster Texas Fest Lake Travis Jonestown, Texas 59th Place | 10 fish, 20-07 My first event in my first season on the FLW Tour back in 2007 was on Lake Travis outside of Austin, Texas. The lake was 45 or 50 feet low, and it was early in the season so I used a float […]

OD on B.A.S.S. – Lake Martin

by JD Blackburn

2018 Elite Series Lake Martin Alexander City, Alabama 13th Place | 15 fish/35-07 Although BASS had visited Lake Martin on multiple occasions in the past, all of those tournaments predated my time on the tour. Nevertheless, I’d done some research into the fishery and I felt pretty certain that limits wouldn’t be hard to come […]

by JD Blackburn

2017 Bassmaster Northern Open Douglas Lake Dandridge, Tennessee 1st Place | 15 fish, 50-03 After the Elite Series event on St. Clair ended I flew to Springfield, Missouri, for the Tracker dealer meeting and then on Wednesday I flew home to Tennessee. I had a week to prepare for the Northern Open on my home waters. […]

OD on B.A.S.S. – St. Clair

by JD Blackburn

2017 Elite Series Lake St. Clair Macomb County, Michigan 21st Place | 15 fish, 58-08 Throughout multiple visits to Lake St. Clair with both BASS and FLW, the lake had always been a thorn in my side. I think in my best tournament I finished in the high 40s, and that was when the bite was […]

OD on B.A.S.S. Champlain

by JD Blackburn

2017 Elite Series | Lake Champlain | Plattsburgh, NY 7th Place | 15 fish, 55-07 Coming off a 99th place finish at the St. Lawrence, it would’ve been easy to get depressed about losing my lead in the AOY race, but as odd as it might sound it allowed me to fish more relaxed at the next tournament. […]

OD on B.A.S.S. – St. Lawrence River

by JD Blackburn

2017 Elite Series | St. Lawrence River | Waddington, NY 99th Place | 8 fish, 26-03 Prior to 2017 the Elite Series had visited the St. Lawrence River twice and my two results were very different from each other. In 2013 I kept things really simple, fishing a dropshot and a tube from start to finish, and I […]

OD on B.A.S.S. – Lake Dardanelle

by JD Blackburn

2017 Elite Series Lake Dardanelle Russellville, Arkansas 15th Place15 fish, 41-12 The last time we visited Dardanelle I had a good tournament, ending up 25th, so I was excited to go back to try to improve upon that result. I know that it’s an ever-changing fishery, but I also knew that I’d be able to […]

OD on B.A.S.S. – Sam Rayburn

by JD Blackburn

2017 Elite Series Sam Rayburn Reservoir Lufkin, Texas 35th Place | 15 fish, 51-07 I had no prior tournament history on Sam Rayburn, but after the Classic at Conroe I stayed around for a one-day media event there and subsequently fished the Brian Robison charity event. I’d heard all of the stories about how great it […]

OD on B.A.S.S. – Ross Barnett

by JD Blackburn

2017 Elite Series Ross Barnett Ridgeland, Mississippi 51st Place | 11 fish, 25-09 While B.A.S.S. has held several Opens on Ross Barnett in recent years, I hadn’t fished them, so it was a totally new tournament venue for me. Based on my research, I knew that it is a shallow, stumpy lake where it can be […]
