Guntersville’s Honey Hole……
I headed to Guntersville Alabama with the intention of camping somewhere, winning the tournament, then going to Nickajack to catch some fish I knew would be in a difficult place to get back from….three simple goals; I accomplished none of them. We will get back to the camping in a…

NSKA does it right…wish I had a backup-plan…
Before I replay yet another lackluster performance for 2019, I want to give a shout out to the guys of NSKA. It was great fun at the Boars Nest, and a very organized event. I picked up a pretty cool lanyard from RoboHawk as a door prize. I was impressed with…

naked men and pirates…thanks for the memories Ben!
So, how do you handle a conversation when it starts with the phrase; “have you ever had a naked man run and knock you through a wall?” My first response is naturally (and fortunately!) “uhhhh, no”; but my second is to caution them about myself. “Just stop. I will never…

…and the winner is….us!
Since I have written my pity post talking about my performance at the 2019 KBF National Championship in Shreveport/Bossier Louisiana, I will not rehash that at all. I developed a solid pattern; launch, fish, come back empty handed – it just wasn’t a winning pattern. (stole that line, think it…

….3…..4…..5
If I were quite honest, I would say that I was disappointed with my performance in Louisiana. And I usually am honest, even with myself when it hurts the most…and the weekend hurt. I had dreams of driving to Shreveport and absolutely wrecking the place. I have never felt more…

Drove this far for a knitted catfish?
Kayak Bass Fishing National Championship 2019 is just a few days away, and many are already in Shreveport searching (and searching) for launches, lunches and fish (bass to be specific). I am already three days into the adventure and while not a lot of catching is happening for me, Joy…

Ketch me if you can…..
So….I know it is Thursday because I have been counting the days until I leave for Shreveport and the KBF National Championship (tomorrow!)….but for me, it is Westbrook Wednesday part Two! Now I am not going to lie, I had no idea what a Westbrook Wednesday was until I met…

Not ready for prime time….
I wish I could say I am satisfied that I finished in the top ten of our clubs season opener, finally ending a skunkfest that had me considering the end of my kayak tournament career. But when you only catch a single measurable fish (or when I do anyway), it…

say hello to my little friend…the Hobie Grail…
I spent a little time researching (very little) the correct procedure or ritual required, the correct syntax, the proper etiquette and whether or not the world would become unsettled before I christened my first Hobie (a ProAngler 12) the “BoHobien Rhapsody”. Then my Joy and I promptly named her Hobie…

WTBY….or the continuing saga of skunk boy…
Woke up at two, drove two hours and some change. I fished a tournament, but I did nothing to write about. There is no technique that proved successful, there is no lure that stood out. I didn’t learn anything to improve me as an angler. I was cold, unfocused and…
