Cranbait Confidential by joey monteleone | Jun 17, 2018 | Coosa HD, FishingFor many people their introduction to hard baits is a slim minnow imitating bait. The look often fools fisherman and fish. In my own case I became addicted to throwing the minnow plugs. Cast it out, let it rest, twitch and start the process again. Ten to fifteen bass...
Logging On by joey monteleone | Jun 2, 2018 | FishingWild About Wood – One of the things I stress when doing personal appearances is that fish aren’t hard to catch, they’re hard to find. Oh, sure you can always go back to the shoreline and catch a few fish. We all have a few spots that will produce a bite,...
Flicking Flies for Bluegill by joey monteleone | May 16, 2018 | Fishing, Internationalisation, United StatesFor many anglers the first fish they wrap their hands around is the bluegill.

The story was centered on a lady he met who had won a gold medal in the Olympic shooting sports. He described her hard work, training and the support of many around her, her accomplishments and a...
The Technology Advantage by joey monteleone | Jan 24, 2018 | Big Rig, Fishing, Internationalisation, United StatesTurn the clock back ten, twenty, thirty maybe even forty or fifty years.

What Will You Have Seen in 2018 by joey monteleone | Jan 8, 2018 | Big Rig, FishingWhere will 2018 take you? After living in Missouri for 30 years, the brave new world of Tennessee called me.

Nature and Human Nature by joey monteleone | Nov 23, 2017 | Fishing, Internationalisation, United StatesI’m fond of saying you can’t beat Mother Nature or cheat Father Time.
