This weeks show is a fantastic show you won't want to miss. It should be playing on Anglers radio at www.anglersradio.com in 24 hours and also here at S&K Guide Service in the Audio Room, in both Broadband and Dial-up.

We have 2 Legends of the fishing industry with us this week. Don Iovino, and Kathy Magers. All of Don Iovino's baits are in the Delaware Tackle store right now. The "Splash It" is one of the best poppers around.

Here is a little about both of them:

DON IOVINO- The Godfather Of Finesse Fishing"

DON IOVINO
PROFESSIONAL ANGLER


FISHING INNOVATOR
CHARTER MEMBER
OF THE
INTERNATIONAL FISHING HALL OF FAME


A fixture in professional bass fishing for more than fifteen years, Don Iovino and his innovative fishing techniques has become one of the most identifiable pioneers of finesse fishing throughout the Country. It was through the recognition of his peers, his innovative fishing techniques and deep water bass fishing methods, that he was recently inducted as a charter member into the International Fishing Hall of Fame (IFHF). As an ambassador for the IFHF, he continues to strive for higher standards in public life, the historical and educational side of the sport fishing industry, and his continued participation in conserving and preserving our natural habitat

As a Professional Angler, he has fished competitively throughout the Country and the Orient. His most notable achievements have been in the clear water regions of the Colorado River and reservoirs of California. In 1985, he was crowned Angler of the Year in both North and West Divisions for the United States Bass Fishing Association (U.S. BASS), the only Angler to have ever accomplished this. He also won the organization's equivalent to the "World Championship" in 1984, capturing the Grand National Fly-Away Tournament at Lake Mohave. His tournament scorecard also includes five National titles and three "Top 10" finishes in the prestigious U.S. Open Bass Tournament held annually on Lake Mead, and was winner of the 1992 Lake Mohave WON BASS tournament.

A highly successful Fishing Guide in Southern California and along the Colorado River, he has demonstrated his "doodling" method of plastic worm fishing to numerous clients. Although retired from the guide business, he now operates a successful promotional business providing customized fishing tackle for his clients in the U.S.A. and the Orient.


GOALS
While he has gained national acclaim for his fishing, he is both a skilled instructor/speaker teaching college courses on Bass fishing for BassMaster while hosting approximately 25 Seminars a year. His goals include a desire to "give back to the sport" part of what he has garnered in his career. He actively supports fish enhancement projects and remains a willing ambassador for fishing around the world.

FISHING INNOVATOR
When plastic worm and "structure" fishing for bass took on a new look beginning in 1974, Mr. Iovino began developing the "doodling" technique for deep water angling. Today it is being recognized across the country as one of the most efficient ways of catching fish holding to specific pieces of cover suspended in deep water. His method includes select use of the graph recorder and other sonar equipment to locate fish which are active at depth. He then combines boat position with pin-point presentation of the worm in a shaking or "doodling" manner from a vertical or near vertical position. In conjunction with this method he has devised specific worm models with proven color/salt combination, color-coordinated brass worm weights and glass beads to add sound to his baits. He also modifies certain bait casting reels for smoother spooling of line, and has developed specific rod actions for the technique which are marketed by Berkley.

MARKETPLACE VISIBILITY
Recognition for Mr. Iovino and his success has been expanded beyond the ranks of his fellow anglers. Many of the most prestigious companies in the fishing industry are utilizing him to market their products.

Reels as well as instructional videos (under the banner of Don Iovino Productions), was the host of the radio show, "Talk Fishing with Don Iovino" and co-hosted "The Weekly Fishing Report" on KTLA Channel 5 Morning News, the number one morning news program in Los Angeles. He also contributes monthly columns for Bass West Magazine and for Gary Yamamoto's Inside Line Magazine.

Don Iovino continues to make guest appearances on various fishing-related shows, most recently "The Pete/Gary Talk Fishing Show" on 690 AM Saturday mornings, "Ron Kovacs Show" Saturday mornings, and weekly on "The Big Bass Hotline 900#", providing the latest tackle tips and up-to-date reports of what's hot and what's not on various lakes.
