Lewis Smith Lake Prepared Gerald Swindle for Professional Bass Fishing

When I started fishing for bass professionally, I had one big advantage that helped me. I grew up fishing deep, clear Lewis Smith Lake in north Alabama. Most tournament fishermen hate to fish there.

Bowhunting Turkeys Without a Blind

When most people think of bowhunting turkeys, they tend to think of days spent sitting in a ground blind in the middle of a wide open area waiting patiently for birds to respond to calling and decoys.

Osceola Turkeys Are A Different Kind of Hunt

The main reason I like to hunt Osceola turkeys in Florida is because the season there starts the first week in March, while turkey season begins much later in most other states. The gobblers we hunt seem to be much more aggressive than the turkeys I hunt in Pennsylvania. The cool mornings and the hot days are a big contrast from the cold and often snowy mornings and cold days during Pennsylvania’s turkey season. The
