By Wayne Wasulko
after six full issues in our online library, WesternBass.com Magazine welcomes readers as we launch into our second year! as we enter our sophomore year with this issue, we are excited to introduce new technology for this publication. The live webpage effect made possible by FliPit123 features the customizable page flipping effect, live links and user interface readers are used to; but now the second generation is fully HtMl 5 compatable, videos in MP4 and audio in MP3, sharing in Facebook, twitter, linkedin and other social networking sites, plus enhanced support for smartphones and tablets. We hope you enjoy the new technology! another addition to the WesternBass.com magazine is our newest contributor - FlW College Fishing angler Jen edgar. Growing up near the rivers of Northern California, edgar fished her entire life and competed in her first WoN Bass Pro/am on Clear lake in 2008. Currently, she is a senior in the Fisheries Biology dept. at Humboldt State University and the founder and current president of the HSU Bass team. She is sponsored by dobyns rods, el Grande lures, rod Glove, rBBass.net and tCSportsreport.com. Before i close this issue’s greeting, i want to express my deep sorrow for the passing of an industry supporter and dear friend, don lee. don and i have been friends since our introduction in ’74. i was the sales manager at Marine associates in Bellflower, California and he was a rep for Hydra-Sports when we met. Through the decades he was not only a mentor and role model for me, but one for the sport as a whole. i really miss our conversations don. rest in peace, man.
Great Reading - Wayne
