sorry Siri….please take me home!
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…

..CAKFG…my first second family…
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…

..no retrial…please…
My Joy and I have been married just short of 8 years. We started talking to each other just a few days over 8 years ago. And during all of that time, I have told her not to buy me anything for Christmas, birthday…any day…but as good as I know…

thank you…that is all…
I wanted to do a quick post about the FLW/KBF/DeeZee/Yakattack….and all of the other sponsors listed on the kayak village banner. Thank you!. This was one of the most incredible events! I also want to mention TRC covers who gave all of the KBF competitors a free rod cover! You…

Hank Parker…no pic…you kidding me!
Back home from the KBF/FLW event on Lake Oauchita….working on a formal recap, but this is my personal “I always dreamed of being here, there goes Hank Parker, this was AWESOME (except for only finishing 24th – but it was out of 72 anglers)” post. To be honest, I don’t…

recap Ohio….and the Big Butter Man…
The reality of trying to maintain a full time job and chase tournaments is far from the romantic version that plays in my head during meetings…and not the version I tell most people who ask. I mean how do you turn working long hours as a manufacturing engineer, then driving…

Got a brand new plan….
How do you decide where to launch for tournaments when your pre-fishing has revealed nothing about where the fish are located? You are on Kentucky Lake, the water is 87-90 degrees (in the shade), you fished a local CAKFG tournament the week before with mediocre results…they have opened up Barkley,…

very unofficial recap of Chick….but mine.
Maybe it is because I am tired. Maybe I should think about “my personal recap of Chickamauga” before I post it. Maybe I will do that after I finish typing, but I doubt it…I didn’t make as many terrible decisions as I have till now by stopping to think. I…

Orange slices of life….
Joy and I are sitting in a hotel somewhere in Ohio, seven hours from home. Tired. We stopped for gas and decided that we were not going to get started again. Armed with snacks we have settled in to sleep, something I personally haven’t done a lot of the last…

Many Hobie memories….more to come…
The setting for the Hobie BOS last weekend was Kentucky and Barkley Lakes, and as always, it was a well managed tournament. With AJ, Kevin and Morgan at the helm; Michael Christopher on site to address any potential issues with iAngler…the venue at Kentucky Dam Village…Elena Blevins of the Kentucky…
