I pulled the plug on my corporate job and after this week will be full time fishing. If you are interested, I am offering guided crappie/whitebass trips this spring with alot more availability. My website in my sig has all the info and a way to book if interested. Plan to put out more videos than I ever have and can't wait to see where this takes me. I didn't want to post this here but I got to thinking this is where I got my start and I have alot of good friends that came from this forum and figured it would be a cool update. Thanks for the support over the years and helping this "KID" chase his dreams! I would not be where I am at if it wasn't for the TFF. Time to grab my BnM rod and head down to the creek! Hope the fish are biting!

I think it`s a very brave & courageous thing uou`re doing. Not many have the willingness to cast their bread upon the waters( no pun intended) and go after their dream,nor the down rite Bull Dog Tenacity to see it through.SO... I salute you Anthony & BEST of Luck on your endeavors.

a good place to drum up business for guide trips is the fishing section at wallmart, academy , ect. when I was guiding I would go to the stores to buy different things, and kind of loiter a bit in the fishing sections, strike up conversations with people and be helpful and let them know I guided crappie.. I got hired from several folks this way.
I would seriously consider a name change to be taken seriously.. the people who know u, it doesnt matter, but people who dont, may think otherwise.. maybe a brand new start.. you know that new brush in the right locations, attracts crappie. I think if you look at it as farming, and reap what you sow, you can do well. with ALOT of people getting livescope, and being mostly TAKERS, who dont contribute to the crappie population in any way, I believe they will get spookier, scarcer, and harder to catch over the years. Also, I wouldnt be status quo, just because joe blow does it one way, doesnt mean you have to.. in life, most are imitators, but the best are initiators.. good luck, and may God put his blessing on your venture.!!

COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !
