The Luck of the Draw - How To Be A Good
Fishing Partner
by Linda Berry

2007
Whether you are a
rookie or a veteran of tournament fishing, there is one thing
for sure; you are going to be paired with another angler who
shares the same goal as you. That goal is to fish hard, catch
keeper fish, win some money and leave with some great memories
of how you did at that particular lake in that particular
tournament. You will also remember your draw partner, maybe not
always their name, but their attitude during
the event. Click here
WBT Angler Releases
Tournament Angler Site Guides
by Linda Berry
Photo contributed Susan Wild - St. Petersburg, Florida
Becoming familiar with tournament
locations can be time consuming and frustrating when you
would rather be spending your time researching the
fishery and preparing your tackle. Only another
tournament angler could know the hassles involved and
appreciate what we go through at each event. Susan Wild,
an avid angler from St. Petersburg, Florida decided to
do something about the situation so that we wouldn’t
have to (in her words) re-invent the wheel at every
tournament. She has put together a site guide for all
WBT tournament anglers – both boaters and non-boaters –
for each lake we will be fishing in 2008.

Details of the
up-coming 1st Annual
Porter Wagoner
Charity Fishing
Tournament on Percy
Priest Reservoir in
Tennessee will be
available soon.
Several WBT anglers
have been invited to
fish the event,
scheduled for June
3rd. Each angler
will be sharing
their boat with a
country music star.
The weigh-in will be
at Bass Pro Shop in
Nashville and a
concert will follow.
The tournament is
part of a
week-long
celebration of Fan
Fare.
Congratulations to
Meta Burrell
of Ft. Worth, Texas
for her second place
finish as a
co-angler in the
recent BASS Southern
Open on Santee
Cooper. She missed
winning the
co-angler division
by 2 oz. Meta fishes
the WBT as a
pro-angler.
Other WBT pro
anglers fishing the
event were Lisa Johnson
and
Kat Ealey
of Alabama and
Pam Martin-Wells
of Georgia.
WBT pro-angler
Marcia Rubin
of Ohio made the cut
at the BASS Elite
Series event on
Clarks Hill
Reservoir and
finished in 23rd
place as a
co-angler. The WBT
will be fishing
Clarks Hill in
September.

In Memory Of...
A Memorial Day
Tribute
by Linda Berry
Safe light is drawing near,
Boats are gathered all around.
Anglers stand, many shed tears,
For silence is the sound.
Our brothers and sisters
Look down from above
While we bow our heads
In memory of . . .
As heroes have fallen
More take up the fight.
Our country is defended
By day and by night.
For a war has no mercy
On family or friends
Or mothers and fathers,
Who want it to end.
As Old Glory is waving,
Our anthem is sung.
It goes without saying,
We stand united as one.
We pray for our troops
To God up above,
And give thanks for our freedoms
In memory of . . .
National Safe
