Bored….reading the new rules for Hobie BOS concerning boards while perusing the social media posts that, although I have been homebound for days, I seemed to have missed.   My mind is saying STOP, SHUT UP, DON’T DO IT….but I have to talk about tournaments somehow…. ….So…here we go…against all reason….   I applaud Hobie … Continue reading Bored so let’s talk boards….should just shut up I know….but….too late…

I am about to lose my mind up in here!!!!  I am going to ramble, rant and well, pout for the next paragraphs....sorry I am not sorry. The good! Last night I was blessed to be on Topwater Live and talk about how fortunate I am to be writing about fishing….and fishing the larger events. … Continue reading Help…or a grown man crying….

What do you do when you can’t fish?  Well, I put new line on reels, replace hooks, reorganize tackle…and name kayaks for the new season.  Ok, maybe silly…but I am going to have fun with the rest of my days on this earth!  I have worked too much, still do…so why not enjoy it? I … Continue reading 2020….new boat, new truck…new attitude…same outcome…hope not!!

Last weekend was an extremely tough one for me.  My Joy was at St. Thomas with her dad, so I was home without her (he is home now! And so is she).  I had worked too long a week and was completely exhausted…and the real problem; there was no tournament.  Did you hear me…no tournament … Continue reading Caney Fork guy out of water…or a Hobie guy in a NuCanoe world

I was fortunate to fish the last Hobie BOS event of the inaugural season on Lake Guntersville last weekend. As always, AJ and Kevin along with Frank Stapleton ran a flawless event; showing the crowd that they are here to deliver premier events.   I didn’t finish well enough to make the TOC…but I guess there is … Continue reading Oauchitalking ’bout….

Joy and I were driving back from the Southeast regional last weekend.  I was trusting that the directions coming through my phone were accurate….it has been a very hard transition for me to trust it.  It was taking me on a different path than it ever had from Florence, Alabama and I was a bit … Continue reading sorry Siri….please take me home!

CAKFG battle of the creeks…. To say I was excited by the prospect of a local tournament on the creeks…which included Yellow Creek….in the afternoon, in late August would be an understatement. The tourney was slated to run from 4 to 10 p.m. on any one of the local creeks between here  (Clarksville) and Dover, … Continue reading ..CAKFG…my first second family…
