AGE: 34

WIFE: Esther

SPONSORS: Falcon Lures, Stor’s It, NH B.A.S.S. Federation.

HOBBIES: Auto Restoration

FAVORITE LAKE: Contoocook

FISHING CAREER HIGHLIGHT: Third place finish at the B.A.S.S. Eastern Divisionals with a final weight over 50lbs.

FAVORITE TECHNIQUES: Flipping a 1/2 ounce jig, dragging tube baits, split shotting.

SPRING: I like to start just after ice out using Smithwick Suspending Rouges; searching for suspending pre-spawn bass. Also dragging tube baits very slowly for smallmouths. I Also enjoy this time of year for big largemouths by flipping 1/2 ounce jigs around heavy cover.

SUMMER: I like to fish split shot rigs. I'll use Zoom Lizards or finesse worms. Also, I like to throw a Storm Chug Bug in morning, then slow down with a Carolina Rig or Senkos.

FALL: I love to use top water lures in early fall when bass start getting aggressive chasing bait fish. Also, I like to drag Tubes again, especially late Fall. Most of all it’s that magical time to have a Pig and Jig busy.

HELPFUL HINTS: The most helpful hints I have learned to never give up, listen to your instincts, they’re usually right, and having confidence, it’s the best lure you own.
