Every year around this time, we have our biggest tournament of the year, the FLW Forrest Wood Cup. Its’ a culmination of all the hard work, travel, tackle preparation, and the good and not-so-good tournament finishes in one unique championship event. This is my 18th appearance at the Cup, and I’ve fished several of them on Lake Ouachita. Ouachita is a great venue because it is such a versatile fishery. It’s a big lake with clear water, timber, grass and rock, and could literally be won on any end of the lake. I’ve had some good finishes there and some poor finishes, but I really love the area, the community is supportive, and it’s always a fun place to fish. I spent four days pre-practicing before off limits, and though I think the fishing will be tough, it will be a good tournament. August is always a tough time to fish, but the lake is in the best shape I’ve ever seen. I expect a three day tournament weight of 50 pounds. The show that accompanies the tournament will be exciting. Hope to see you there! Photo Courtesy FLW
I was consistent this week on Cayuga, but it just wasn’t enough for the top 35 cut. I finished 38th, which is valuable points, and I’m always thankful for Patti being able to travel with me. Now time to head back to the St. Lawrence for a few days to catch some smallies!

Chatterbait trailer hook...been killing em.
I brought 16 pounds to the scales today which was good enough for 39th place. As always, these guys caught them good. I need a little better day tomorrow to get into the top 35!

Effective Flipping
Missing or losing fish is just part of the fishing, but I never want to lose one because I don’t have the right equipment! And flipping is a one of the most fun ways to catch bass. Feeling that tap never gets old. Probably the most important part of any flipping set up is the hook you choose to use. Personally, I like a straight shank hook. I think it gives me the best hook up ratio. It’s easy to rig, and the bait stays very straight. The hook I have recently started using is an Owner … Read More...
