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. I learned to live with the hard knocks of not catching bass every day on this lake. Smith Lake also taught me to be versatile with my fishing.

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.
