A Real Card
Douglas Lake: Nearly home
The Douglas Lake Challenge is the event I circled on the schedule when I signed up for the Bassmaster Elite Series. Norris Lake is my home lake but Douglas is a close second.
Elites: Turning the corner on Day Two
Fishing in the Bassmaster Elite Series, you have to catch them good every single day to finish in the top. These guys are beyond good, and you cannot stumble.
Bull Shoals: Spin time
Power fishing with baitcasting tackle and heavy line dominated the first two Elite tournaments but finesse fishing will play big at Bull Shoals.
Take a kid fishing
A new family just moved in across the street from me, and I found out a few days ago when talking to the Dad that his 8-year-old son wants to be a professional fisherman someday.
Elite Series education
I had a blast in Florida these past couple of weeks; the Elite Series was all that I had hoped for.
Elite Series: Switching gears
My first Elite Series tournament – the 2012 Elite Series St. Johns River Showdown – was a lot of fun. It was a huge learning experience, and finishing 21st was a good start to the season.
St. Johns: Pushing with all you have
At long last, my first Elite Series event has arrived. This week I had the privilege of having an outdoor writer with me on one day of practice on the St. Johns River.
Brotherly bassin’
I was watching the 2012 Bassmaster Classic a few days ago, and I thought it was awesome to see Chris Lane and his brother, Bobby, celebrate Chris’s victory together.
Final days before the Elite Series kicks off
It is getting serious now. I have a lot to do before the season kicks off as it is only 1 1/2 weeks away.
The Big Red
It seems like I’ve got some kind of crazy story for every place that B.A.S.S. goes to, so here is one for the Red River.
