Lake Eufaula

Hi guys. The Lake Eufaula Everstart did not go as well as I would have liked, but I was only 1 bite away from getting a check so I guess there is some hope at the end of my rainbow...On the good note I am still in the top 40 in the points (barley but that's in) with one tournament remaining to qualify for the Everstart championship on Kentucky Lake in November. I will be doing a video recapping the events for Eufaula this week so keep checking back to the site. Thanks and be safe on the water!

Lake Eufaula

What's up guys? I'm in Alabama at Lake Eufaula for the 3rd Everstart event of the year. The bite is really tough down here right now so hopefully I can do enough each day to get out of here with a check. I will update the blog each day of the event and also do some video updates starting tomorrow. Thanks for reading!

Jordan BFL

Whats up? I fished the Piedmont division  BFL this past weekend on Lake Jordan. I finished 5th with 20.8 pounds, It took 26 pounds to win. Lake Jordan is a awesome fishery. I caught most of my fish off the bed. The last afternoon of practice it was sunny and there were fish all over the place on the bed but tournament day it was cloudy and harder to find the beds. I knew exactly where a few where at so i just blind casted to them and was able to get those and the rest I just fished around shallow cover and caught fish that I could not see. I caught all my fish on the day with a Dave's Tournament Tackle YO Mamma. The YO Mamma is a beaver style bait that Dave introduced last year and its a great flipping bait.
On Sunday I took a friend of mine that I meet at the local Wal Mart out to Randleman Lake and we caught around 10 with the biggest at 4 pounds.

This week I will be practicing for the 1on1 at Badin and then next week I will be off to Alabama to Lake Eufula to get ready for the 3rd Everstart of the year.

Snow go away!!

Whats up? Hope everyone stayed warm this past weekend.  I went to Lake Jordan Saturday and Sunday looking around for the BFL there next weekend. It was really funny because I caught a couple of fish off the bed on Saturday then Monday it was snowing. I wander what that will do to them? I'm heading to High Rock tomorrow and Friday to try and find some fish for the 1on1 on Sunday. Plan on fishing Jordan on Saturday to look around for the BFL some more. If you see the Bojangles' boat out and about come by and say hey and get some Bojangles' gift cards. IT'S BO TIME!

Super Moon

What's up? It was a pretty busy weekend for me. On Saturday a good friend of mine Jeff Jackson and I fished the annual Jaw Jackers tournament on Lake Brandt in Greensboro. We won this event a few years ago with 28 pounds so I was really looking forward to it. We caught them really good for about 45 minutes and then we could have left and went to Bojangles' cause we never had another bite. We ended up with 4 fish for 14 pounds and finished 4th. We caught our fish on a shallow running crankbait and a Dave's Tournament Tackle Spinnerbait.

On Sunday I fished the Yadkin 1 on 1 event at Lake Tillery. The fish were really biting good in practice but come tournament day it was a different story. I don't know if it was the wind or because of super moon but something was affecting them. I lost several fish through out the day and I normally don't loose them on a jig.
I ended up 3rd on the day with 5 for 11.60. Caught my fish on a Dave's Tournament Tackle 1/2oz flippin jig in green pumpkin.

I was also invited by FLW to work the spring fishing expo at the Wal-Mart in Randleman on Saturday afternoon and had a great time talking with several people about the local fishing. Fish are feeding up before they start to transition to the bank for the spawn. Try to get out if you can........

Warming Trend Coming

What's up?  I fished the 1 man at Lake Townsend over the weekend and pretty much got my butt kicked. That lake is so hard to get anything going on, if the fish will actually bite its awesome one of the best in the state but if they won't its like pulling teeth to get anything going. Went to Lake Tillery on Sunday with Jonathan Leonard from Get-Tha-Net. We had a good day catching around 12 or so with some solid fish coming on Dave's Tournament Tackle Jigs. Going to fish the annual Jaw Jackers tournament at Lake Brandt in Greensboro on Saturday and then the 1on1 at Tillery on Sunday. I will also be at the Wal-Mart in Randleman on Saturday afternoon from 5-7 working as the fishing ambassador for FLW. Come by and talk fishing and get a Bojangles gift card.

Lake Townsend

Whats up? I fished lake Townsend in Greensboro today. I've caught two fish over 9 pounds in my life and both of them came from Townsend, caught one of them today on a Dave's Tournament Tackle spinnerbait. You don't get many bites on this pond but there usually 5 pounds or better. Going to fish a 1 man tournament there next weekend, plan to get back over there on Thursday and Friday.

It seems the fish are biting really well. If you can find time try to get out and enjoy some of the March fishing!
