The dog days of August are upon us and unless you live in Alaska, no one wants to be outside. But there's still a lot to talk about and I've got a few things on my mind that I need to get off my chest. So today, I'll give you my...

Being from the great state of Texas, it was instilled in me from day one how important it was to follow the laws of the land, especially when it came to hunting and fishing. The last thing you wanted was a Texas Game Warden knocking on your door...
Now in the latter years of my life, I've developed a hatred for summers and the high temperatures that come with it. No longer do I look forward those hot summer days the same way I did as a youth. But today we're going to turn back the clock...
We've all heard the stories about how people claim to have been saved by a guardian angel. For years I never really bought into this notion that someone is actually watching over us, that we all have an angel making sure we don't die before...
Occasionally, as a tournament angler, you ask yourself, "Why am I out here? Why can't I figure out a good fish-catching pattern?" These are just a couple of questions, and many others, I recently asked myself during a mid-June tournament...
Every bass tournament is a series of decisions. Some will either make you or break you depending on which direction you decide to go. Some decisions are small while others are huge and can be the difference in winning or getting your butt kicked. But...
With summer temperatures reaching the upper 90's, it can make fishing absolutely miserable. Nothing is worse than fishing with sweat rolling off your nose. But there's one way to beat the heat....fish at night!!! Bass become a lot more active...
I believe 2016 was the last time Toledo Bend was on fire. Well, 2024 has been very similar to that year so far. The Bend is once again an awesome fishery that is putting out not only quality bass, but bass over ten pounds. This past May during the Bob...
A lot of anglers love throwing topwater baits and crankbaits. These baits sometimes have up to three sets of treble hooks which we all know can be good or dangerous. But one thing is a fact, you must have good sharp treble hooks in order to catch...
Last week we covered some of the issues going on with anglers on our lakes and waterways. We talked about the confrontations taking place daily as guys compete for water space. Every angler, of course, wants an area of the lake to themselves....
What the heck is going on in the bass tournament world? Drama, drama and more drama, tournament after tournament! It’s worse than watching daytime soap operas and it’s on every level across the country. It includes grown men who have...
Well now is a great tine to throw a buzz bait and the number 1 question asked; do I throw with braid or monofilament? Both have their place but for me but I like the Seaguar Smackdown braid. Designed for strength and durability but is also great for...
The Ark-La-Tex region is blessed with some of the best bass fishing lakes in the country. Toledo Bend, Lake Fork, Caddo Lake, Lake of the Pines, Caney, Bussy Break are all area lakes that continue to make the Bassmaster Top 100 lakes in the country...
This past weekend I had the chance to fish a great benefit tournament. As an angler who has grown up in shallow water, it was a great opportunity to learn a few things with my team partner who has great experience fishing out deep. Even if you think...
If there’s one debate in bass fishing that has gone on for decades, it’s the age-old question: Does color matter? What we are referring to is the color of the bait you’re throwing when fishing for those elusive largemouth bass. No...
This time of year bass tends to feed upon shad to regain the weight they lost during the spawn. While a chatter bait has become the go-to bait these days, the spinnerbait is still a great lure. The spinnerbait comes in several blade and skirt...
Not many people reach legendary status. But there’s one man who lives just across the Louisiana/Texas line that falls into the category of a legend. He’s a guy who for years has conducted the greatest bass tournaments in the world....
As anglers, we tend to complicate things by over thinking the situation. We try to impress ourselves with our own knowledge and outsmart a creature that has a brain the size of a dime. Especially when it comes down to; what color worm we should be...
Just like NBA Basketball player Alan Iverson once said…. ”We’re talking about practice?” Yes, today we’re talking about practice and how important it can be for an angler to be successful. With my recent...
Today, we’ll once again venture off topic just a little. I have something I must get off my chest. This might be a little painful for some to read but it comes from my heart and it’s not only my perspective, but it’s the truth....
