Welcome to Daniel Valois Fishing

A tournament full of emotions and I may over pressure myself... First day I lost 3 fish on a row within the first 30 minutes of the tournament.. then during both days of the tournament the boats next to me catching Basses above 4#, (6 times) and neither my co-angler nor me manage to catch a fish on that area... then I lost 3 hours of the 

A tournament full of emotions and I may over pressure myself... First day I lost 3 fish on a row within the first 30 minutes of the tournament.. then during both days of the tournament the boats next to me catching Basses above 4#, (6 times) and neither my co-angler nor me manage to catch a fish on that area... then I lost 3 hours of the first day due to one Battery that burst out... at the end I got 3 fish the first day and 4 the second day missing one big bite to enter on the top 25th (tournament numbers where very low and the few fish I caught where the right size to dream with championship day) . Another tournament in the books and more experience, few things went right as well on the tournament and now I'm seating on 32th place and need to make a really good tournament in September on Santee Cooper to qualify on the top 25th to championship tournament...Vamos Con todo!!

This tournament was special because I went to practice and participate on the Bassmaster at Santee Cooper Lakes in SC and that event finished on Friday 17:00 and from there I went pick up my stuffs and drive to Okeechobee with one stop in Orlando to hook up the boat.... I arrived to Clewiston and slept 1.5 hrs, and went for it...The resul

This tournament was special because I went to practice and participate on the Bassmaster at Santee Cooper Lakes in SC and that event finished on Friday 17:00 and from there I went pick up my stuffs and drive to Okeechobee with one stop in Orlando to hook up the boat.... I arrived to Clewiston and slept 1.5 hrs, and went for it...The result a picture of a life time!!!, a Bass of 8.4 lbs on the official scales!!!!, That anchor's me to get the 4th place with 17.31 pounds. With this result I am just a step away from State championship.

Logistics and risk taken are key on the strategy of multiple lakes tournaments. For this one I draw in the middle of the pack so I decided to grind and fish Lake Harris and I had the shot to be to 20 but I made a mistake that cost me to loose a 5 lbs on the trolling motor and I ended 54th with 9-11oz.

This result keep me on the race for a place on the regionals (currently 39th) with two more tournaments in Okeechobee to close this deal.

Still a lot to learn on the Kissimme Chain of Lakes. I struggle to find Bass during the practice on five lakes that O trued to cover but it was too much water to cover on few days. Therefore, I concentrate on Lake Toho but the bites were not there… overall a difficult tournament for everybody and i manage to squeeze in the middle of the t

Still a lot to learn on the Kissimme Chain of Lakes. I struggle to find Bass during the practice on five lakes that O trued to cover but it was too much water to cover on few days. Therefore, I concentrate on Lake Toho but the bites were not there… overall a difficult tournament for everybody and i manage to squeeze in the middle of the table so still on the points for the regional but definitely I have to perform better on the upcoming tournaments to secure a place on the boaters for the regional.

On the 6th of January The Florida Bass Nation took place in the Lake Okeechobee. 

The tournament started as planned,  within the first hour I had 5 fish in the live well including one good fish. Then, I decided to move to the second place to start to look for bigger bass to replace the ones on the live well. As soon as I took a strange noisy came from the motor and this one stall and never started  again. It was just 8:30 and I was in trouble. I tried to do basic troubleshooting and call a mechanic but  no hope.. then I decided to fish till 13:00 and then retake the rescue mission. I fished as hard as I could and manage to get 15.3 lbs and ended on the 5th place!. between 13:00 and 14:30 I tried to get in contact with the organizers asking for help until a boat that was on the same tournament pass by and I asked him for a ride so I could take my fish and weight them in. I did that and then, with the help of Dean Morgan (savior) went back to tow my boat to shore....

To give closure to an epic first Bassmaster Opens full season as Boater , I've managed to end on the 39th place with 23lb - 14oz. Despite the pressure of having the closure event at my home state and the unpredictable Fall patters, I manage to stick to a frog bite supported by some finest techniques to get the limit both days of the compe

To give closure to an epic first Bassmaster Opens full season as Boater , I've managed to end on the 39th place with 23lb - 14oz. Despite the pressure of having the closure event at my home state and the unpredictable Fall patters, I manage to stick to a frog bite supported by some finest techniques to get the limit both days of the competition. The target for this first season was to be at least on time on the money and I'm very pleased to manage to be 2/9 times in the money this year.
