Man, I just can’t seem to get this whole web site thing off the ground and running!  Every time it seems like I get into the swing of things with it, we run into obstacles!  It seems like the very next day after I made my last post entitled, “Back in the Saddle” my website was hacked!  Luckily, my web site man, Dee Gardner, was eventually able to get us straightened out.  We’ve lost the good look we had going with the website though, so we’re back to square 1.  *sigh*  I guess I’ll just start making posts and then hopefully soon we can at least make the website look presentable again.

I’m baaack! Ok, after a long couple of brutal semesters of school, I am going to get back into the swing of things.

I fished Lake Travis today in preparation for my ATX tournament there on the 22nd of this month.  It went fairly well.  I’ve established a pretty good pattern that I feel confident will still be there come tournament day.  Actually, I’ve been fishing the same basic pattern at all the lakes I’ve been fishing since the Fishing For Freedom tournament at Belton.  It’s a pretty classic autumn pattern, and I’m actually really surprised that there are very few guys who have got it figured out.   [Read more…]

I planned to go fishing on Halloween this year with a guy from my bass club on Lake Travis.  The primary purpose for the trip though wasn’t necessarily to fish.  I had to try and get my livewells operating since they were experiencing problems at the last tournament.  I figured if I had the boat in the water then I might as well let someone else spend some time fishing out of the front of the boat.   [Read more…]
