I’m always up for an adventure. Something new and exciting this past week was being part of the Doc’s Tackle King of Spring perch tournament at Cayuga Lake, New York. My sponsor, Doc’s Tackle, put together this awesome event last year for the inaugural tournament, and it continued to build in year two—becoming New York […]

Queue the wake up yawn with the morning stretch. We are all waking up here in Erie, PA, after a long, hard winter. That means Presque Isle Bay and Lake Erie are thawing as well, and some great fishing is just around the corner. Living here in Erie, PA (Harborcreek now), we all are chomping

It’s the midway point of the season for the 2023 Bassmaster Opens EQ series. We recently wrapped up our event at Eufaula Lake (not to be confused with Lake Eufaula, AL) in Oklahoma. As expected for June in Oklahoma, it was a fairly hot one and filled with Tarantula sized surprises – did you know
