Summer Can’t Come Soon Enough 1

Feb 24, 2010 by Guest

By Nick Barr. 2010 looks to be one heck of a year. The new year for me is filled of promises, obligations, and new adventures. My name is Nick Barr, I am 18 years old and a tournament bass angler/bass fishing guide here in the Pacific Northwest. Bass fishing is my passion, my lifestyle, and last but not least my career choice. I fish all around the Pacific NW with “Northwest Bass” and the “The Bass Federation” Qualifiers. This year I will also be fishing some FLW Series tournaments in Nevada and California, as a co-angler. My website is NickBarrFishing.com

I look forward to a great year, as my life is moving quickly with opportunities and challenges ahead of me. I will be attending Eastern Washington University in the fall, and hopefully starting up a college bass fishing team in the process. I also just started up my own bass fishing guide service this year and am looking to grow that as I move into college. Currently, I am waiting on my new Legend Alpha 199 bass boat with a 225 Mercury Optimax that is being built in Arkansas right now.

As tournament season approaches, I am getting cabin fever looking at the great weather outside; knowing I should be fishing. This senior year in high school has been great, although even busier than I thought it would ever be. But I just remember that I do all these things in the off-season so I can sit back, relax, and fish tournaments all throughout the spring and summer. Right now my garage is slowly turning into tournament central, organizing all my storage boxes with my Gamakatsu hooks, Luhr-Jensen crankbaits, along with pairing up Lamiglas rods with reels. The only relief I get from cabin fever is organizing, but it only partially works, as I lay in bed at night thinking of all the bass to be caught. I am not kidding you, in the mind of a bass angler, there are some serious things going on. When I pass by a lake, I seriously cannot stop thinking about it. I shake at the thought of heading over to Potholes Reservoir for the first tournament of the year. This winter has been way too long for me and I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of fishing season. I look forward to what 2010 entails, and I will be sharing with you my experiences through the Outdoor Line blog and my website.
