It’s that time of year when you are sitting around at work and you know it’s a pretty day outside and all you can think about is going fishing. Well for me it doesn’t have to be a pretty day, any day fishing beats a day at work. With that being said Spring is just […]

We’ve been super covered up and I admit I have neglected keeping up with my website and social media. But winter time fishing is here, my favorite time of the year. It’s when we have cold nights, leaves are falling off the trees, lakes are dropping for winter pool and water temps are falling. If […]

Fall fishing is almost here, the days are getting shorter, nights are getting cooler, the lake levels are dropping to winter pool levels, which all helps for the water temps to drop. Not to mention this helps the bait fish get more active along with the bass, which are starting to feed up for the […]
