Preventative Maintenance with BioborEB
In todays “low emission” fuel world, bass fisherman have to be cognizant of the effects that ethanol mixed fuels have on marine parts, specifically corrosion. There’s nothing worse than launching your boat at the marine, turning the ignition, and not having anything happen as you float way from the dock. Ethanol damage to your fuel system is a very real and potentially expensive – yet preventable – ordeal, one that all bass fisherman should take steps to prevent, particularly in the off season.
BassEast.com recommends Biobor EB Fuel additive for all fishing crafts. “Fuel is stabilized for up to 18 months, performance robbing deposits are removed and corrosion issues are virtually eliminated. Additionally, Biobor EB uses a proactive approach to preventing phase separation in fuel tanks by inhibiting the water/ethanol bond, and keeping ethanol in the proper blend and suspension.” That’s pretty huge, and the results show under testing.
A recent test of various ethanol treatments performed by Practical Sailor Magazine (August 2012 issue) rated ethanol treatments on the following statistics: cost, treatment cost/gallon, and corrosion rating (brass, copper, aluminum, steel). BioborEB was rated the best performing choice among the products tested. The study includes measurable data and explanation of how the testing was conducted and can be found on the Biobor site. (http://www.biobor.com/approvals/testing-and-performance/Practical-Sailor-Magazine-August-2012/).
Preventative maintenance, performed regularly, can inhibit a huge cost down the road. Using Biobor EB will make your engine last longer, run more efficiently, and save your wallet. If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then using BioborEB in your tank can keep your money in your bank!

Old And New Waters On Nation Schedule For 2015
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Some familiar bass fishing waters and some never visited by B.A.S.S. tournaments will play host to competitors in the 2015 Old Milwaukee B.A.S.S. Nation divisionals.
California’s Clear Lake and Mississippi’s Ross Barnett Reservoir are often top choices on the Bassmaster Tournament Trail. But the Pee Dee River Basin in South Carolina and Minnesota’s Vermilion Lake will be hosting B.A.S.S. events for the first time.
Anglers who have qualified for the divisionals will have the great fortune to compete on these lakes, and the top competitor from each state will advance to the 2015 Old Milwaukee B.A.S.S. Nation Championship.
“It’s really exciting to get to go to new places for the B.A.S.S. Nation divisionals,” said Jon Stewart, director of the B.A.S.S. Nation. “It’s one of the many things that make the Nation unique.
“You never know what might happen on these new waters, and I’m ready to get 2015 started to see what the year will bring,” Stewart added.
The first divisional of the season is the 2015 Old Milwaukee B.A.S.S. Nation Western Divisional, April 8-10, on California’s famed Clear Lake. B.A.S.S. has visited this lake — one of the oldest natural lakes in North America — 11 times, including a divisional here just two years ago.
The Western Divisional in 2013 also took place in early April, and Washington’s Jeremy Percifield won the three-day event with a hefty 67 pounds, 6 ounces. The biggest bass of the tournament, caught by Idaho’s Denton Crofts, was 10 pounds, 9 ounces — a weight competitors will definitely strive to find in April 2015.
The last time the Bassmaster Elite Series competed on Clear Lake, Byron Velvick almost hit the 100-pound mark over a four-day tournament, ending with 98 pounds, 6 ounces.
The second divisional of the season is 2,893 miles east of Clear Lake only two weeks later. The Southern Divisional will take place on the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin in Georgetown, S.C., April 22-24. The watershed is North Carolina’s second-largest. If anglers aren’t familiar with fishing in the basin, they’re certainly familiar with the surrounding water bodies, Lake Norman and High Rock Lake, sites of several Bassmaster Tournament Trail events, including three Bassmaster Classics on High Rock.
Next up is Ross Barnett Reservoir in Ridgeland, Miss., for the Central Divisional, June 10-12. Barnett hosted a Bassmaster Classic in 1978, which Bobby Murray won with 37 pounds, 9 ounces over three days for the October event. Just three months prior to the 2015 divisional, the pros from the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Opens presented by Allstate will compete on Ross Barnett, as well.
The following week, June 17-19, the B.A.S.S. Nation divisionals move 906 miles northeast to Fairmont, W.Va., for the Mid-Atlantic Divisional on the Monongahela River. The Mon has hosted a B.A.S.S. event once — kind of. The northern end of the river is part of the Three Rivers in Pittsburgh, Pa., site of the 2005 Bassmaster Classic. It was a tough tournament, which Kevin VanDam won with only 12 pounds, 15 ounces over three days.
As summer closes, competitors in the Northern Divisional will convene in Minnesota on Vermilion Lake, one of the most scenic lakes in the United States. The 39,000-acre lake could produce mixed bags for the anglers when they visit the fishery Aug. 26-28.
The Connecticut River in Hartford, Conn., ends the season at the 2015 Old Milwaukee B.A.S.S. Nation Eastern Divisional, Sept. 18-20. The B.A.S.S. Nation previously held a divisional tournament on the river in 2007. In addition a Bassmaster Top 100 tournament was held there in 1994 during the same week of September. Veteran pro Roland Martin won that one with 49 pounds, 11 ounces over four days.
Each state sends a team of its top anglers to its respective divisional. The top angler from each state advances to the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship, which will be held in October or November at a site yet to be selected.

Livingston Lures offers Black Friday, Cyber Monday Deals
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – While the rest of the country is standing in line at 4 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving, and feverishly monitoring the internet the following weekend for the “bargain of the year”, holiday shopping for the angler on your gift-giving list is as easy as “point, click and save” on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, thanks to Livingston Lures.
Livingston Lures – the innovative creators of Electronic Baitfish Sound (EBS™) technology – will offer special online deals on Nov. 28 (Black Friday) and Dec. 1 (Cyber Monday), providing anglers with their best chance to stock up on essential baits while saving money.
Black Friday freebies
The day after Thanksgiving has become a gigantic nationwide shopping “event” in recent years, with millions of people braving massive crowds and potentially inclement weather. Livingston Lures’ approach though is much simpler, and much less stressful.
The deal: buy any two baits online from the Livingston Lures catalog of EBS™-powered baits, and receive a third bait for free. That discount is good on all lures in the Livingston lineup, from the Pro Sizzle Jr. to the Dive Master 20 to the Pro Ripper to the Howeller Dream Master Classic (DMC)- the lure that carried Team Livingston pro Randy Howell to victory at the 2014 Bassmaster Classic.
Livingston’s Black Friday buy-two/get-one deal is valid from midnight until 12 noon CST on Black Friday. Orders must be completed on the Livingston website: log on to www.LivingstonLures.com and click on the “Lures” link at the top of the page to start shopping.
Cyber Monday giveaways
The Monday following Thanksgiving is one of the heaviest online-shopping days of the year, and while retailers frequently offer deep discounts on merchandise to entice shoppers on Cyber Monday, Livingston is going one better: anglers who order Livingston baits on Dec. 1 will receive a free Livingston Lures hat for every Livingston bait purchased between midnight and 11:59 p.m. CST.
Log on to www.LivingstonLures.com on Dec. 1 and follow the on-screen prompts upon ordering from the Livingston lineup of EBS™-powered baits.
