No regrets

Feb 21, 2010

Well this is certainly not the end to the Classic I wanted. I think this is the first time I've missed the cut.

Day 1 disappointment

Feb 19, 2010

Day 1 of the Classic is over, and I've got to tell you, I'm disappointed. Honestly, 6-12 is not what I was on in practice.

One more day

Feb 18, 2010

Well, the last practice day is over, and now it's time to wait. Yesterday I had eight bites — all small.

The final practice

Feb 17, 2010

Day 1 of practice was one of the few times I've fished in an absolute blizzard. Our predictions of this cold winter Classic are coming true.

My Classic practice

Feb 12, 2010

The Jones Clan is in Alabama now, and we're getting settled in for the Classic. I'm making final preparations for practice, which starts today, and they're a little different this year.

Another Alton

Feb 5, 2010

Make room for another Alton Jones on tour. No, Jimmye Sue and I aren't having another child. Little Alton recently started fishing team tournaments out of his own boat.

Gearing up

Right now I'm in Destin, Fla., for an educational seminar at Bass Pro Shops. It's for all the Bass Pro managers.

Falcon lunkers redux

Jan 22, 2010

I just got back from another trip to Lake Falcon. My "excuse" was to break in the new Yamaha VMax SHO, and break it in I did. It's fantastic.

Hurry up and wait

Jan 15, 2010

My boat — which was supposed to be wrapped and ready for me to pick up Monday — is still in the shop. When I got there, they had printed one of the logos in a terribly wrong color.
