Play to your strength
You always hear that you should play to your strength. It’s one of those things that we all acknowledge but often don’t put into practice.
Life’s short
I’m in Oklahoma prefishing on Grand Lake o’ the Cherokees for this year’s Fish and Chips combination tournament.
Working with Zona
I’m in Green Bay, Wis., this week filming a TV show with Mark Zona for his Zona’s Awesome Fishing Show. We’ll be targeting smallmouth bass in Lake Michigan near Washington Island.
Mom had a penchant for nicknames
As the year winds down, I’ve been thinking about some things. One of them is my name. I know that sounds crazy but it enters my mind from time to time, especially at this time of the year.
Something Different
I have a tournament coming up on a lake with lots of grass. I wanted to practice but the lake is off-limits so I thought I’d go to Erie and fish some of the grassy bays.
Drift sock basics
When the wind or current is up and you’re spending more time trying to control your boat than you are fishing, consider using a drift sock.
Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow
Let’s talk about the tournament. Oneida was good to me. I missed the cut by 2 ounces. More importantly, after some self-analysis — much of it through this column — I’m making better decisions.
A tribute to the service crews
I’m still in New York. The fish are moving quickly into their fall patterns, and I’m thinking Oneida will be an interesting tournament.
Turtlenecks, wool socks & long johns
I’m up on Lake Champlain in New York chasing smallmouth. It’s a great time of the year to do that.
Brown bass and topwater baits
I have to tell you that I got my nerve up and fished my beloved Tuesday Night Tournament last week. I didn’t get in too much trouble for doing that, either. And I won!
