Welcome!

Hey Guys and Gals, I have been on BRG for a minute but never did this so here it goes. I am 32. From Anniston Al. I graduated from UGA where I lettered 3 years. Played for the Falcons and now fish! I love fishing. I have 3 sons and a wife! I am the owner of Hour By Our Management and Concierge. I have been fishing seriously for 5 years. I fish the FLW and ABA weekend series. Next year I want to move to the opens FLW series. I also am a member of the Metro Atlanta Hawg Hunters Bass club. Brief but to the point!

I agree Fluke! I want to see them spread those wings!

Big E Bass, is a place called Fife's Still downtown? I live in Bham for 7 years and loved that place! I will be in Bham Friday-Sunday. Hope to catch up with you guys as well!

With a name like Chitown....what you asking about heat for?

Looking for a guy to ride around with. If you dont mind let me know. I will be in B Ham on Friday and will be there through Sunday.

I just ordered 2 from Gemini and they cost me $250. That included setup, custom jersey in 2xlt and shipping. Could not have gotten a embrod shirt for that with all the detail!

I usually bring 6 rods with me on tournament days. You really want to make sure you stay organized, like other guys said before. I have brought 8 before and touch all of them during the day at some point. I think you should stack ur rods according to how your day or pattern will go. This will keep your first choice at the top while c-rigs, jigs, etc, will be ready after you have done ur early morning cast. I have a bag with everything in it. I try to keep it clean and stocked right. I am 270 so my boaters usually dont say anything...LOL. I am also 6'6 so I might not look like a jalardo! 8-)

There is a program called Tournament Keeper V6. Google it and download the free trial. You can list how many places you want to pay back, it will do pairings if need be, and much more. I am using it for my tournament. I think it will help you out also.

Thanks for the info. I fished this weekend and threw a white shad rap and caught one. Bad thing is he pulled the rear treble out and got away. They were all over the baby brush hog on Saturday but after that, I could not figure them out. Anyway, thanks.

I will be on Logan Martin in Pell City, Al, this weekend. I wanted to know if anyone has suggestions or insight to how to fish the lake in this chilly weather?
