If you are just getting back into fishing like me or want to improve quickly, call James. I've been bass fishing my whole life and tournaments most of it. I still learn tons from him and since I don't know the lakes real well, it gives me an opportunity to see how a true touring pro breaks down a body of water. This is my second class with him. The first one is classroom training learning the fundamentals of his system and half the day fishing. Got to ride in his new awesome Bullet. We fished Grapevine Tuesday right after the cold front with bluebird skies and had 21-22 lbs for our best 5 including my PB smallmouth at 4 lbs. We determined I'm an overthinker and I don't move around the lake enough looking for fish. He helped with that and now I feel more confident than ever. He's less expensive than a full day guide and you don't just catch fish, he teaches you when, where, and why while doing it. He's also a great guy. I've already booked with him again in June to get better at offshore fishing.

Went out with James today to learn more about offshore. Wow is all I can say. Our best 5 went 25 lbs and we only fished for about 5 1/2 hours. Not only is he a great teacher, but you learn confidence in what he's teaching you. Nothing like explaining what to do and then catching good fish right after that. I had one today that I set the hook on and the fish didn't budge,took off and broke my line. He's cheaper than a guide, but you actually learn and it's not about catching fish, but every time we've gone out we have definitely caught them. Here's some picks. Ignore the fat guy.

subscribed and hi James been awhile. When he first took me I knew absolutely nothing and had one spinning rod. Now too many rods to think about and can fish pretty much all the main presentations. Only negative is now all my $$$ goes to boats and tackle. He got me started and my 1st 5lber and that's all it took. Great teacher.

Finally got on the water with James last week to learn more about offshore fishing. I can’t begin to tell you how much I learned. I love that these trips are more than just a guide trip, he teaches you how to find these fish and how to catch them. Our best 5 would have went around 27 lbs(well above even my wildest dreams), and we caught fish all day. It was no wind bluebird sky most of the day, but we still had a great day. If you are struggling to catch fish, give James a call.

Had a productive trip with James yesterday. Second time out with him. Different lake this time. Mainly wanted to learn more about my electronics which he is great with. Especially if you have Lowrance. In addition to helping me with all the settings on my Live units, we marked several spots, fished them, caught fish, and discussed how the patterns would change during the year. Specific example: I've fished a particular boat ramp on this lake MANY MANY times with limited success. James showed me the "sweet spot" on this ramp was actually 20 yards past the end of the ramp. I had been sitting on top of the sweet spot this whole time and not knowing it. I would highly recommend a trip with James.

Well, I had finally read enough about Camelot Bell on TFF and called up my buddy and teacher of all things fishing, James Biggs, and said let's do this. He was all in!!!

I booked us at Camelot Bell to fish both lakes and see if we could memorialize my entry to the elusive DD club.

Despite the heat we arrived around 3pm on Wed and headed straight to Wolf Pack and fished until dark. James being the square bill guru he is hooked into a 10.7lb fish and it was amazing to watch in person. If you go to his YouTube page you will see footage of the catch. We also caught other solid fish before dark, but the DD was the highlight.

On Thurs. we were on Camelot Bell around 8am and fished until lunch catching a handful of good fish, but were still determined to find my DD. We made a move back over to Wolfpack and I don't think I will forget the very first cast James makes with his trusty square bill and hooks into a 6+lb fish and we could not help but to giggle...it was getting stupid at this point at the big fish we were catching. Don't get me wrong these lakes don't just give up DD fish or any fish for that matter....it takes skill and determination and that's why I had James "the stick" Biggs with me.

Not long after a couple more fish we were casting over submerged trees both using smaller square bills and we hooked two fish simultaneously....I could not freakin' believe we both had two giant fish on. Unfortunately, James' fish came unbuttoned, but I was still hooked up and when the fish surfaced we both knew the DD club was about to happen. James came to the back with net in hand hoping to get this fish landed.

Needless to say he came thru and I joined the DD club.

I've known and fished with James since 2016 and I always enjoy my trips with him. A true gem of a fisherman who knows how to teach and develop the confidence and desire to pursue the fishing game.

Thanks JB....this trip is one for the books!!!
