Mike Morton - Shelby, AL
Mike has been fishing Alabama rivers and lakes for over 35 years and fished competitively on a local level for many years.
In the late 80's he was relocated to Atlanta Georgia with his job and fished many of the lakes in Georgia and Alabama until
he retired in 2002, at which time he moved back to Alabama and now lives full time on Lay lake with his wife Teresa.
He can be found on the lake fishing several days a week. He strives to keep up with what the bass are doing on a daily basis and
has numerous good day's thru out the year. Mike's goal is become one of the best finesse fisherman in the Southeast with the small baits and light line.
Mike believes that every bait we use to catch fish, has a time and a place that it will excel, but feels the finesse technique is the most under utilized
and least understood method that the average fisherman could use to fill their limits on a day to day basis.
