<<like being the counter party trade to goldman sucks?>> Their terminology, at least, is easier to understand. How do you change your fishing technique when the dried up, shriveled up lakes suddenly get a big infusion of rainwater?

Sounds a lot like the frustrations of...golf. One nice thing about fishing, though. Someone who's never handled a fly rod in their life can go out and boat a beautiful 19" rainbow for their first flyrod fish (happened to a friend when I took him to the North Platte). You don't go out on a golf course, having never handled a golf club, and shoot a 72. If you try to make a living out of any recreation, I suspect the difficulty escalates by several factors...

Jayroe flips to victory in Red River shootout ATHENS, Ala. – Jackie W. Jayroe flipped his way to victory in the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Weekend Series, operated by American Bass Anglers, South Central Regional Championship tournament, held Oct. 14-15, 2011, on the Red River. Running out of Red River South Marina in Shreveport, the 43-year-old angler from Royse City, Texas, landed a perfect two-day tally of 10 bass weighing 21.41 pounds with a 2.88-pound kicker. Holding second on Day 1 with 10.69 pounds, he added another 10.72 pounds on Day 2 to seal the Boater Division victory. For the top finish, Jayroe won a fully-rigged Triton boat powered by a Mercury outboard with a MotorGuide trolling motor. “About two weeks ago, I stumbled on some fish in the main river,” Jayroe explained. “I was flipping cattails on the main river channel staying really tight to cover and hitting every nook and cranny. I used a Zoom Super Hog with a 1/4-ounce weight on fluorocarbon line. I caught about 25 fish a day. I caught one fish on a buzzbait and lost about a 3.5-pounder on the second day.” In second, Scott A. Dean, 49, of Terrell, Texas, landed two consecutive five-bass daily tournament limits for a total of 20.90 pounds. He caught 9.60 pounds on Day 1. On Day 2, he landed the top bag, 11.30 pounds, to move into second place. “I just dug around in the backwater areas and found one with fish on a flat,” Dean said. “Before the cold front hit, they were chasing buzzbaits, but the change in weather shut them down. They moved into the stumps in five feet of water and I caught them by flipping a prototype bait on fluorocarbon line. On the second day, I flipped hyacinth mats. I lost four good fish that would have put me in the lead. I had the area all to myself both days.” Chad Wiley, 34, of Pineville, La., took third for the boaters with 10 bass weighing 19.29 pounds. Fishing consistently, he landed bags weighing 9.79 and 9.50 pounds. “In practice, I found two points and one laydown,” Wiley said. “I caught every fish off that tree top and two points. I ran about 90 minutes south and used the locks to my advantage. When boats locked through, it pulled current. Every time someone locked through, I caught fish. I caught about 25 fish on Day 1 and about 15 on Day 2.” Jeffrey L. Stevens of Flower Mound, Texas, landed in fourth place for the boaters with eight bass weighing 19.07 pounds. He anchored his catch with a 5.17-pounder. He landed 10.56 pounds on Day 1 and followed up with 8.51 pounds the next day. Rounding out the top five boaters, Nick LeBrun of Vivian, La., landed 10 bass going 18.37 pounds with catches of 8.77 and 9.60 pounds. Kenneth Pharr of Shreveport, La., caught the tournament big bass, a 5.50-pounder.
