Potomac River 2012 - Day 1

Day 1 didn't go so well. I caught 12# and sit in 100th place. The Potomac is a premier bass fishery, and if all you catch is 2.5# fish, you bomb out. Big bass are a must here. What's frustrating for me is I have 2 areas with big ones. I ran 45 miles to [...]

Potomac River 2012 - Practice Report

The Potomac River is a very enjoyable place to be this time of year. The weather is pleasant, and the fishing is good. Plus, its pretty cool to look at George Washingtons home on the river when you run past it each day. I wonder what his favorite fishing hole was on the Potomac? What's [...]

The final day went well, I caught 14# but stayed in 6th place. I had 9 keepers on the day. I fished my river area all day and found my fish transitioning to a topwater bite. I threw a Super Spook all day. As the water warmed all week, my fished went from a square [...]

Beaver Lake - Day 3

I weighed 10# today and slipped to 6th. My decision to change areas this morning wasn't a good move. I caught 2 keepers there, but it wasn't happening like I was hoping it would. I spent 3 hours there, then raced upriver to where I'd been fishing and spent the rest of the day there. [...]

Beaver Lake - Day 2

I fished the same area today and came in with 12# and moved up to 2nd place. The Lord blessed me with two big ones today. I had 3 little keepers around 11am when I pulled into an area and caught a 4 and a 5 back to back. That really made my day! Thank [...]

Beaver Lake - Day 1

Day 1 went great. I was very blessed to catch some nice largemouth. It was better than the quality I caught during practice so I was pleased. I caught small fish all day long, but just 8 keepers. There were lots of boats fishing in the area I was in. Hopefully I can get another [...]

Beaver Lake 2012 - Practice Report

It's the same ol' Beaver Lake. We come here every year because Wal-Mart's world headquarters is right here in Rogers, AR. I actually enjoy this place a lot because it is a unique venue: a tough lake that we fish over and over again every year. Its the only event like it all season. So [...]

Best Day Ever

jay steelhead 2012

The FLW Tour season gave us a couple of weeks off in April, so I made plans with some good friends in Alabama to do a little steelhead fishing in Oregon.  I had been telling them what a blast it is, so they flew out for a little fun.  Jeff Barnes, who runs Top O’ [...]

Civil War 2012

On Saturday, April 14 the 5th annual Bass Fishing Civil War was held between Oregon and Oregon State.  It was Oregon's turn to choose the location, and they  decided to have this event on Cottage Grove Lake this year.  The lake was cold and muddy, but both teams managed to catch some nice fish.  Oregon [...]
