Fishing and (mostly) fun

  • bit of preaching….amen….

    Well….finally getting a second to write about my forty seventh place finish at Nickajack last weekend. I know forty seventh was far from where I hoped to be, but I caught limits of fish for three days!!!  I haven’t done that since…last year some time.  I had actually considered not fishing at all, at least not… Read more

  • 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
