Trying to get it all done !!!

Well, the new season is getting ready to start and I am hoping to double the amount of tournaments I fished last year (1). I really enjoyed fishing at Mill creek, and hope to return there and to several other lakes this year. With eight people in my 4 bedroom house it is pretty tricky doing a whole lot any time. with my IL. Youth Director position, running the Jr. Club and keeping Tyler fishing it makes it hard to do much else on a schedule. I am shooting for twice as many if not 4 or 5 times as… Continue

Hello,

2008

After reading Milts profesional blog I thought that I should add one as well. The first year in the club I tried to get into the top 10 and fell short by a few. In 2007 that was my goal to be in the top 10 and made it to 6th. During the season I was trying to get into the top 5. Well 2008 my goal is to be points champion, watch out Timmy. In short you have to set goals to achive anything. I would also like to have some more input witht the board, If I am able I would like to see the classic go t… Continue

This meant that I was to embark on a new journy in life, one which lead me to my new love, that of bass fishing. I will never regret it . Thanks Bill Payne for showing me the way! Continue
