Fishing and (mostly) fun

  • 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 minute – but when you… Read more

  • 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.

  • 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 and I always find ways… Read more
