Plapp's Signs To Do Match Play Fishing 2006

Plapp's Pro Outdoors signed an agreement on Monday January 30th to supply Triton Boats w/ Mercury Outboards and support for the hottest fishing show on Cable TV, the Outdoor Channels Ultimate Match Fishing. Plapp's was a major sponsor of the show in 2005 during it's first season. The show which is hosted by B.A.S.S Pro Joe Thomas will begin to air in July on Mondays at 8:30pm and repeat a few times per week. The show will again match 12 of the worlds top anglers in a 1-on-1 format, a few of the names returning for 2006 include Rick Clunn, Ike, and Gerald Swindle. Official clothing will be on sale soon. Get ready it's going to be another great season of Ultimate Match Fishing.

Hey Matt,

Can you give us any dates of the competition?

I think it would be kind of a nice addition if the show could also add some audience to the format. If I remember the rules correctly, smack talk was incouraged. Now if there was an audiance, I'm thinking there may be more smack, even if it is only the fans.... LMAO

Actually, I was just thinking it might be fun to shadow these guys for a bit and learn from them. I know I'm not the only one who would be interested in this.

I'm asking you because I know you have a relationship with Joe, and you might be able to run this idea by him.

Thanks!

Danny

Is Joe Thomas going to do the Angler on Tour anymore. That was a great show. Does anyone know when the new series of Classic Patterns will be produced?

Joe is doing Angler on Tour again in 2006, the Classic Patterns program is done by Mike Auten, and I'm not sure but I'll make some phone calls and find out.

Matt

Their trying to avoid people knowing where and when due to the fact that if we told everyone then a lot of boats would be on the water following and that would make filming tough. In 2005 they released a press release about the location of the weigh-ins and times, but that's it. I'll post it this year if they do again.

Matt

We sell the Classic Patterns DVDs in our store. We actually have them at all the boat shows with us as well at our tackle booth. The videos are great and not that expensive. We are in Louisville until Sunday, then we go to Columbus for 5 days the Th-Su next week, and then Indy for 10 days.

Matt

Is it going to be back on KY and Barkley lakes?

Thanks,
Charlie

Thanks for the help on the dates Matt.

A question about the Classic Patterns DVDs. I was going to purchase them, of course that was while I was employeed, so I am now less likely to purchase the entire set.

Anyhow, I did not see the DVD on the KVD show. I was wondering if you have a DVD on the KVD show? If so, also what lake is he on? I remember him doing one show I really wanted to get, but haven't found it yet.

Also, are you manning the booth at the show? I don't think I can make it, but if I could talk my wife into coming with me, I always enjoy walking around dreaming about those newer, fancier boats, and of course the top of the line yachts and campers.

Now when I win that 156 million tonight, I may just come and start buying. LMAO

Danny

no comment, I'm swore to secrecy (spelling ?)

matt

We do have the KVD cd, we have them all. If you'd like some tickets let me know and I can get you in for free, just call our store and they will get you in touch with my whereever I am

Thanks Matt.

Do you know which lake and what pattern KVD is using and fishing on that DVD? I am thinking one was a spinnerbait up north, and I wasn't all that interested in that one, but the other one was a more southern type pattern, I think. I can't remember for sure, and that is just S-U-C-K-Y!!!!

Anyway, I can't make the show, so a couple of questions, what's the price, and can I buy over the 'net?

I do appreciate all your help. I tell you, you are so helpful, that I'll let you pay all my entry fees to every tournament this year, and I'll wear a Plapps shirt. Heck, if you want, I'll even let you help with other fees too, you know, like gas, food, lodging, etc....

Now I know not many are willing to make this type of offer to you, but I figure you have really helped me out with some information, and I should try to help you out too. As big as I am, you will be getting a traveling BILLBOARD for a much less expensive price than actually having to rent a real one... LOL

Really, Thanks Matt, and if you do know which lake and presentation he is using, please let me know.

Danny

I'll see if the package says which lake, I think the price is $13 or 14.
