If there were any anglers that stayed dry during the six hours of heavy rain we got on Day 2 of the Lake Despair “Castin’ For Cash” tournament this past weekend, I want to know what kind of raingear they were wearing. After a week of beautiful weather leading up […]

The 2013 Walmart FLW Tour season came to an end this past weekend at Lake Chickamauga in Tennessee. There was a lot on the line for many anglers fishing this event because the top 35 in points accumulated over the six regular-season tournaments qualify for the Forrest Wood Cup—the annual […]
After a great week at home, I’m back on the road again—fishing the last FLW Tour event of the season at Lake Chickamauga in Tennessee. So far my practice for this last event has been going pretty good. This is a really good lake that kicked out as many giant […]
After being on the road for six weeks, it was very nice to return home to Sunset Country last week. Spending as much time travelling as I have this year has been a great experience that I have enjoyed, but I love where I live more than anywhere else. The […]
It’s back to business for me this week as I’m preparing for the fifth FLW Tour event of the season this coming weekend on Oklahoma’s Grand Lake. Last week, I took a break from the fishing and put in some tourist time with my fiancé, August, in Nashville, Tenn. and […]
I write my column this week from Chattanooga, Tenn., where I’m spending some time fishing at Lake Chickamauga—site of the final FLW Tour tournament at the end of June. I decided to stay down south until after the next event taking place next week at Grand Lake, Okla. and figured […]
The fourth stop on the 2013 FLW Tour took place this past weekend at Alabama’s Lake Eufaula. My dad travelled south with me for this event to help me practice, and he also participated in the co-angler division of the tournament. After the weather got us the previous weekend on […]
Last week, I wrote about my upcoming six-week road trip to compete in three bass tournaments south of the border. My Dad and I got things started at Sturgeon Bay, Wis. in a one-day tournament that took place last Friday. We spent three days practising down there before the event […]
The past couple of weeks at home were a nice break for me. It’s a quiet time of year because we’re in between the ice-fishing and open-water seasons. I’m back on the road this week for a lengthy trip, so I’ve been enjoying quite a bit of time at home […]
Most weeks, I write about my activities and adventures in the field or on the water. After all, I spend a lot of my time outdoors during all seasons; that’s just the way I roll. But since I returned home late last week from my most recent bass tournament in […]
The third of six FLW Tour bass tournaments took place this past weekend at Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas. After struggling at the first two events, I had a good practice for this one and ended up with a solid 45th-place finish, which netted me $10,000. The goal in these […]
After a couple days of travel over the past weekend, I made to Beaver Lake, Ark.—site of the next FLW tournament taking place later this week. It is my first time fishing Beaver Lake, but my initial impression after a couple of days of practice is that I like it. […]
