2012 Update

by

2012 has been quite an amazing year.  I have been doing some video blogs from each event but have found that cell service can sometimes dictate how well that works.  Thanks to all of you that have been interacting on Facebook.  We have really enjoyed that more and more this season. I am super excited […]

All-Star Final

by

Evan Williams Bourbon All Star Finals This week is what it’s all about! There are 8 of us that made it to the Alabama River to fish in a bracket style competition. This is very different from our normal style format. As I said I am against Ike in the first round. He has fished […]

All-Star Semi Finals

by

Ramada All Star Semi Finals Lake Jordan I had never been to Lake Jordan before this event but I had seen one of the shows from last year. I had an idea that I wanted to fish shallow here. I know that on the Coosa river chain that there are always fish shallow. Practice: I […]

Wheeler Lake Elite Series

by

Wheeler has always been a good stop for me. The first time I was ever on TV was from a Stren Series Championship on Wheeler in November of 2006. I have been here several times in the fall and usually do well. I had not ever been here in the summer though. I knew a […]

Arkansas River Elite Series

by

This was going to be the toughest event of the year without question. Everyone knows that this part of the river isn’t very good. I had just finished the Open on Douglas and welcomed the birth of our twins. This meant that I would miss one day of practice here which was fine by me! […]

Douglas Lake Southern Open

by

This was an exciting event for me for many reasons. One I live about 25 minutes from the lake and have fished it my whole life. Two our twins were due about a week after this event so things are getting crazy. Three Abbie’s birthday was the Sunday after the tournament was over. Four we […]

Lake Murray Elite Series

by

I had only been to Murray once before and that was for the Forrest Wood Cup in August of 2008. I had a decent finish of 25th. I liked the lake but the thought of the herring spawn was a little intimidating. I had never fished an event during a true herring spawn and wasn’t […]

West Point Elite Series

by

I had fished here a couple of times in the past, but only once in a tournament. That was a Stren Series that took place in February. It was very cold and I had a great event, finishing 2nd. This was probably the tournament that I looked forward to the most when I saw it […]

Toledo Bend Elite Series

by

I had never been to Toledo Bend before this event. I knew it is a HUGE lake. It is also about 7 feet low. It has a lot of standing timber and can be dangerous to navigate. It ended up that most of the timbered areas were showing and this allowed you to be a […]

Pickwick Elite Series

by

Pickwick has been a friend to me the last few times I have been there. The last tournament I fished there was a Stren Series Championship and I finished 3rd. It was in November, I have been there in the summer and fall, but never in the spring. I have heard some great things about […]
