Angling Stuff

Angling Hero Bill Dance - "Back in the '70s, before I turned pro, Bill and Roland (Martin) were the big stars. Bill was always up there, and I wanted to be consistent like he was."
Favorite Lake Toledo Bend - "It's a great lake. It's big and has every type of situation you'll find in the U.S." (He spent 17 years guiding there.)
Least Favorite Lake "I don't have one. It doesn't matter to me where I go fishing. But I don't like to fish tournaments where nothing changes, like on the Potomac River where everything is communtiy holes."
Favorite Technique "Casting a worm and a jig. Fishing structure I can't see."
Primary Fishing Strength Soft-plastics
Secondary Fishing Strength Quickly figuring out daily patterns
Biggest Weakness Cold water
Boat Stratos
Motor Evinrude
Team Chevy
Fishing Sponsors Berkley (line and bait), Abu Garcia, Lowrance, Jewel Bait Company
Tow Vehicle (Sponsor) Chevy Suburban

Personal Stuff

Favorite Food Fried fish - crappie or walleye. "It doesn't get any better than that."
Favorite Music Country western
Favorite Book/Movie North American Whitetail magazine/The Magnificent Seven (movie)
When Not Fishing "I like to deer hunt. My wife found a sign that says the year only has two seasons: fishing and hunting."
Why He Fishes "I just love to get out in the outdoors. To me it's a very satisfying way to spend the day."
