Alton's Blog
Lots going on this week for the Joneses!
First and foremost, I’d like to say happy Easter to everyone. They call today Good Friday. Although 2,000 years ago it turned out good, it wasn’t at the time. Jesus Christ suffered and died for all of us, and now today is a day that has a lot of significance for all Christians. Of course, it ends with Easter and the Resurrection. Read More
 
What a relief!

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33

Let's get it started!

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” - James 1:5

That’s my verse of the week. I want to have one for each tournament week for the rest of the season. Read More
 
Way to go, Chris Lane!
The time since the Classic has been the calm before the storm at the Jones house. I always seem to need a little cooling down time after an event as big as the Classic because it drains you so much emotionally and physically. Read More
 
Ramping up for Day Two
Well, yesterday was a day that really went against the grain of how I like to fish. I never like to fish in crowds, and I’ll usually avoid crowds at all costs, even if that means avoiding the fish. That wasn’t possible on Day One, though. Read More
 
A gruesome discovery on Falcon
The Jones family had a great Christmas, we just spent time in Dallas with family. It was very relaxing and not at all like what happened a few days ago Read Story
 
Red River and Alabama rig thoughts
Well, we just pulled in to Red River South Marina, our home for the next week and a half. This is actually where the Classic is launching from and it’s nice to be away from traffic and stuff as well as have all of your gear close to the ramp. Read Story
 
Come Worship With Us
Thursday, the 16th I’ll be speaking in a church in Nacogdoches, La. I’ll be speaking about fishing and my faith in Christ. If you’re in the area I’d love for you to come out and have some supper and enjoy some good fellowship. It’ll be a West Side Baptist Church at 6:30 CT.
 
Power plant lakes: Hittin’ up the hot tub!

This has been a great sports week for the Jones family, with the exception of the Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday. Baylor’s Robert Griffin winning the Heisman Trophy was fantastic. I never thought I would see a player from Baylor even make the trip to New York as a finalist, much less bring home the hardware.. Read More

 
A real live success!
This past week was a week I had been looking forward to for a long time. It was the week I got to go live on Bassmaster.com.  Read More
 
Football, Falcon and the Bassmaster Classic

Though the Bassmaster Classic is now at the top of my mind, football and Falcon Lake were there not long ago. It’s been a long time since Baylor has beaten Texas in football two years in a row, and it happened this past weekend. Read More

 
Going live next week!
As a primer to our "Day on the Lake LIVE" next Wednesday, I fished this past Monday down at Fayette County Lake. Read More
 
Much to give thanks for
I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Here in the United States it’s very easy to take some things for granted. So, I want to consider the blessings in my life and say thanks for the things I’m thankful for Read More
 
Bucks and bass!
I am currently fishing with some old friends in east Texas on their ranch, and we had a ball! This 7-year-old, 42-acre lake has a special place for me because back when my friend was building this lake, he had me come over before it was finished and I got the chance to give him advice on how to Read More
 
Happy birthday, Dad!
Last Thursday night was one of the most fun nights I've had in a while. We celebrated my father's 80th birthday.   Read More
 
LifeLine
As I mentioned last week, this past weekend was my LifeLine Fish with the Pros Texas event, and it was without a doubt the most fun LifeLine event we've ever had — and they've all been great.  Read More
 
Much ado at the Jones house

I fished the Toyota Texas Bass Classic this past week and ended up in 10th place. While I’m never satisfied with anything less than a win, I’ve got to keep in perspective that a 10th place showing is always good, especially against the caliber of anglers that were there. Read More

 
Lots of blessings
Tomorrow I leave for my LifeLine Youth and Family Services Fish with the Pros event on Lake Amistad. My goal is to leave early enough in the morning so I can get at least a half-day of prefishing in before the guests arrive.   Read More
 
Checking out Fayette County
This week is a busy week, speaking-wise. I spoke last night down in Temple, Texas, to a new tournament organization called the Faith Angler Network, which is a family-oriented, Christian tournament group.  Read More
 
Fishing for Freedom

This past weekend I participated in the Fishing for Freedom even on Lake Belton here in Texas. It’s been put on for the past several years by some of the local boat dealers. Cliff Brown and Rick Smith are big contributors. Read More

 
A new record!
For those of you who have been following my blog for a while, you'll recall that during each offseason, I'm after a personal best. Well, the time has come. I beat it! Read More
