Still here, but put my posts on Facebook under John Murray, professional angler. We are in Illinois for the summer, with 3 Elites left. Should be a great summer, I’m sitting 35th for AOY and all you can ask for is a shot to make the Classic!!!

This lake is beautiful and full of bass, but it sure kicks my butt!! Finished in the 90′s again this year, and can’t do that again!! We are heading to the Mark’s outdoors tournament then Georgia for West Point, have to do better there!

Had a tough but fun first two tournaments in Texas! Finished 39th at the Sabine and 37th at Falcon. They were complete opposite type tourneys- Sabine took 10 lbs to make the cut, while falcon took 40lbs!! I have a couple weeks off, then heading to Bull Shoals AR, with Amy and TJ- can’t wait!!!

After a disappointing tourney at Roosevelt, I have my boat in to get wrapped at Allaboutsignsaz. Tomorrow, I head up to Las Vegas for the ISE show thru Sunday! I’m gonna tie this site soon to my Facebook page, John Murray, Professional Angler, but till then check out my FB page!!!

Just finished a tough prefish for Roosevelt. Tougher than I’ve ever seen it. Five keepers a day will be great! I like tough tourneys and will try to put 30 years of experience to use- I’m ready!!!!

I committed a rookie mistake by not checking my power source [...]

Fished the ABA on Apache with partner Steve M, in the cold rain! It is the best lake by far in central AZ. We caught 18.85lbs on crankbaits and bumbershoots and had two about 5lbs apiece. Won the tournament so soaking all day in the rain was FUN! Now it’s time to get ready for [...]

Wow, weird and tough bite at Pleasant! Fished thursday with Brian B and had about 17lbs of bass, one of my best days on that lake ever. Went back Saturday, and caught 4 for just under 10lbs, and missed a few more. Lost the tourney by about.7lbs! Had all 4 on bumbershoots by 10am and [...]
