Thank you very much, PM sent

Go Boston, get that MOJO going!!!!!

I will be up in Chelmsford Massachusetts from Saturday June 18th (late morning)until Friday June 24th. I have plans to fish with a really great friend (Shane) on Wednesday but I am looking to fish more then one day. Unfortunately I will not have my boat with me. I would like to know if there are any Bass Resource members that would be willing to take me out fishing. I will bring plenty of Rage Tail baits to share with anyone that is willing to go out fishing. If you are interested in hooking up to fish please let me know. I will also return the favor to anyone that travels down to the Washington, DC or Northern Virginia area. Thanks, Ron

Ok folks we are still looking for volunteer boaters to help us take soldiers(active duty and wounded), veterans and disabled veterans out fishing in our First Annual Reel American Heroes Fishing Tournament. Every volunteer boater will receive: Free Launch pass for the weekend (Pohick Regional Park) An RAHF Event Shirt A Strike King Hat Free Strike King Baits Trophies All volunteer boaters will also have an opportunity to win both Elite and FLW Series autographed items in addition to the items above. The volunteer boater that helps the soldier or veteran catch the biggest fish of the two day event will receive an autographed Strike King hat. This hat was autographed by the entire Strike King Pro Team (Kevin VanDam, Denny Brauer, Shaw Grigsby, Greg Hackney, Mark Rose, Mark Menendez, Mark Davis, Chad Brauer, George Cochran, Johnathan VanDam and Debra Hengst). This is a truly amazing hat to win, it is by far the nicest hat I have ever seen. We also have other items that each of the volunteer boaters can win that are autographed by Strike King Pro Team members, as well as items that were signed by both Roland Martin and Scott Martin. One last thing, we are also providing each of you with breakfast, lunch served by the Hooters Girls and a band Concert Saturday after the Day One weigh in. If you are interested in thanking a soldier or veteran for their service by taking them fishing please click on the link below, scroll to the boater registration form and sign up. http://www.reelamericanheroes.org/event-registration.html Sincerely, Ron DeFreitas

Fish the newly flooded areas with baits that put out a lot of vibration, Rage Tail Space Monkeys and Smokin Roosters work great on a keel weighted hook in these conditions.

Congrats Bobby!!!!

I went today and had the pleasure of spending about 45 minutes with Denny in addition to attending his seminar. The information he provided was great and I learned a lot. He was also nice enough to sign 4 hats for the Reel American Heroes Foundation. We are selling these hats (3 Rage Tail and 1 RAHF) on our Facebook site. I also had a good time checking out all of the vendors that were there. I also purchased a Abu Garcia Revo SX and a JB Custom Rods "Snake". This combo will be raffled off at our event at Bolling Air Force Base in May.

I am headed down on Saturday.

The Reel American Heroes Foundation has been invited to set up a table inside the Hampton, Virginia Bass Pro Shops during their Spring Classic Sale to fund raise and to register boaters for the First Annual Reel American Heroes Fishing Tournament at Bolling Air Force Base. We will be set up near the sunglasses booth on February 26-27 & March 12-13. If you are in the area please stop and say hello.

The hoodie crushes the footie again.

We have purchased fishing rod and reel combos and tackle boxes for the soldiers and veterans. We almost have enogh tackle to fill them too, we still need hooks for the soft plastic baits. On another note, we are still looking for anglers with boats to help us take soldiers and veterans out fishing. If you can help a soldier or veteran please go to our web site and sign up. As our way of saying thank you we will be providing gift packs to the boaters that voluteer to take a soldier or veteran out fishing at our event. http://www.reelamericanheroes.org/event-registration.html With sincere thanks, Ronald R.
