EDITORIAL
FIRST CAST
By Wayne Wasulko
Welcome to our second full digital edition of Westernbass.com Magazine. I hope you all enjoyed our first publication, with all the capabilities it offers, it really makes reading much more interactive.
April 15 th was not only that dreaded day for the taxman but also it was our historic day at Westernbass.com for producing a full-featured online magazine with content and interaction like most have never seen. This magazine is free to all site visitors, and we had viewers from all over the world. It is really exciting to me to see all the positive input that many of you have given us on this first publication. Our goal is to make it better each and every issue.
Our June magazine is also packed with many great articles from our staff, with a special story written by Jody Only about the king of flippin, Dee Thomas, fishing on the California delta. Jody spent many hours with Dee on a fishing trip to capture a real question and answer article. I hope you all enjoy this great interview.
Westernbass.com is gearing up for the upcoming iCAST tackle show in Las Vegas. Westernbass. com is now a member of the ASA, (American Sportfishing Association) and we will be at iCAST with our own booth. We are all planning to bring back to our readers as much info as we can on new products and factory offerings. This will be part of our showcase magazine for August.
With summer upon us the articles in this issue along with all the great content on our site should really help get you that extra knowledge you might need to land that special keeper, or fill that bag during a tournament.
Great Reading, Wayneg
