Tour Summary

FLW Series Event - Lake Champlain NY, Sept. 10th - 13th, 2008

I always look forward to fishing on Lake Champlain. It is an amazing fishery full of giant smallmouth bass.  The only drawback is the unpredictability of the weather, and the ability to navigate safely to your best fishing holes. Read More

FLW Tour Event - Detroit River MI, July 10th - 13th, 2008

During tournament season we often visit very large bodies of water, and when I was a rookie on tour it definitely took a little getting used to. Large water can be very intimidating, and often times dangerous for anglers as well. In my experience there are very few lakes that come close to the magnitude of Lake Erie. Read More

FLW Tour Event - Ft. Loudoun/Tellio Lakes, Knoxville TN, June 19th - 22nd, 2008

FLW’s fifth Tour stop Fort Loudoun/Tellico Lakes fished very small, and with a 200 boat field made it very hard to move around. The prediction of a low-weight tournament was shot out of the water with several sacks over 14-lb making it to the scales. Read More

Because Rogers Arkansas is the home of Wal-Mart, Beaver Lake is an annual spring event on the FLW Tour. Normally it is a beautiful deep clear lake that can be a little fickle to figure out. I like Beaver Lake and finished in 6th place at last year’s event. Read More

FLW Tour Event - Lake Norman, Charlotte NC, April 24th - 27th, 2008

As usual, I always look forward to fishing the Lake Norman event. The lake is absolutely loaded with fish, and for the most part suits my style of fishing. With that said, it is somewhat difficult to write this summary due to the spanking I just received. I felt like after the last two tournaments I could carry the momentum with me to Norman and have another great event. Read More

Toyota Texas Bass Classic - Lake Fork TX, April 18th - 20th, 2008

Once again this was a great tournament, and I was blessed with a great team, Stacy King, Brian Penso, and Matt Reed. We pooled our talents and worked really well together to grind out a 3rd place finish. Read More

FLW Tour Event - Lewis Smith Lake AL, April 3rd - 6th, 2008

Due to my history on Smith Lake I was really looking forward to this event. Lewis Smith is a great fishery, but can be extremely fickle and hard to figure out. During the tournament the lake was high from excess area rain fall and some of the fish were trying to spawn…..perfect conditions. Read More

FLW Series Event - Lake Wheeler AL, March 26th – 29th, 2008

During all four days of the official practice period the current was running strong and it appeared that the fish were biting just about everywhere and on just about anything you wanted to through. It was obvious to me that the fish population in Wheeler was alive and well and that this tournament was going to boil down to ounces if the conditions remained the same. At the time the fish were strong on a pre spawn pattern and were using the current to stay positioned in eddies located throughout the main river. Read More
