Mike enjoys fishing lakes all over the country and compares them to Arkansas Lakes. Mike states, “Fishing Arkansas lakes and rivers gives me experience on all types of water except costal, it has been a definite advantage to me in tournament competition.”
Mike views his primary strength to be his versatility; “I feel like I can catch them on anything. I really don’t have a true favorite technique, but I’ll always have a Carolina rig, crankbait and spinner bait tied on. I also like to fish finesse baits on spinning tackle.”
Mike is fishing The FLW Tour for 2010.
A Ranger Boat with an Evinrude engine powers Mike on tournament waters and his home lake, Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs.
