I have enjoyed the thrill of fishing for most of my life.  Tried boat after boat,  gone through tons of tackle, had all kinds of equipment, plus used all that other stuff it takes to be a “better fisherman”.  I’ve been there, done that.  You fishermen know what I’m talking about.  Well, I’ve calmed down now and am just enjoying life.  Since retiring from Nashville Electric Service in 2003, I have more time to fish, guide, hunt, do woodwork, and make knives from saw blades.

Percy Priest Lake is my home lake and where I provide my services as Crappie Coach and Fishing Guide.  A  while back a friend of mine, Harold Morgan, asked  if I would be interested in helping him guide.  I was slow to accept his offer, but since starting my service I have enjoyed every trip.  Meeting new people and spending the day fishing is always interesting.  I’ve found that we all share one of the same passions of the outdoors.  That would be Crappie fishing!  I have pitched the term “Crappie Coach” into this pastime instead of “Crappie Guide” because I see it as coaching folks to catch fish.  Every client is a new adventure, some may be experienced, some not.  Whatever their level of experience is, I work to show them something new or better.  Sharing my experience and knowledge will hopefully boost their confidence in their own abilities when they head out to that ole fishing hole.  Catching is the reward of fishing, “catching is better than fishing” but don’t forget the experience of the outdoors.
