Fishing Information

Never Give Up! My partner and I had everything go wrong for us on Alan Henry lake, a lake known for big bass. With the big motor out, we were fishing by trolling motor back to the weigh-in site and had only three small fish in the livewell. With the trolling motor on high we were "speed flipping" anything we could reach when I spotted an eyeball looking out from under a branch. One flip of a Zoom Toad and we had an 8 pounder in the boat. With only a couple of minutes left, we approached the off-limts boundary and made a last desperation spinnerbait cast to a point and another 8 pounder joined the livewell. It is true it just takes one or two bites to turn things around so never give up.

Personal Background

I was a devout trout fisherman since my grandmother taught me how to stream fish at 6 years old. Then some friend took me to a lake, put this ugly purple worm on a huge hook and told me to put it in the middle of a bush. Wham! That four pound bass has cost me thousands of dollars and ruined my trout fishing. Thanks - I guess.

Boat Information

Boat name: Cajun RC210
Remember Cajun? They were my sponsor until they went out of business. It was almost free and it is a great deep-vee boat for rough water so I'll keep using it until I get a better offer.
