MY GOALS:

• To develop a lifetime career as a professional angler. This would include the following areas, as a highly respectable guide on Lake Guntersville, a professional tournament angler and as a representative for outdoor products.

Some Accomplishments:

• 2003 Wal-Mart BFL All American Qualifier
• First Place 2008 BassMasters Weekend Series – Weiss Lake – Winner Triton Black Gold Award
• 2008 Divisional Points Leader / BWS North Alabama Division
• 3^rd Place 2009 Wheeler Lake 2009
• 3^rd overall 2009 Divisional  / BWS North Alabama Division (Falling short by 9 Points)
• Triton Gold award 4 times for top finishing Triton Owner
• Professional guide and tournament angler and owner of Curt Staley’s Pro Guide Service on beautiful Lake Guntersville in northeast Alabama. Started Guiding part time while working in Engineering support at a manufacturing company in Huntsville, AL. Started Guiding full time in February 2003.
• I have fished with clients from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Ireland and Germany.
• My First Guide trip was with Dennis and Luke Williamson from Ipswich / Brisbane,  Austrailia. We fished four days (2 were from Sun-up to after dark) Here are a couple pictures from that first guiding experience. They were visiting the USA to attend the Talladega race in April of 1999. They were huge Dale Earnhardt #3 Fans. Dennis was also an Elvis Pressley fan and visited Gracland in Memphis while here on their vacation.

ABOUT ME:

• I am 34 years old and a full time fisherman participating in a selective array of tournaments and running my professional Fishing Guide Service on Lake Guntersville, Alabama. I am very outgoing and I am described by my father as a man who has never met a stranger. As I meet new people it is my desire to make them feel the same.
• In the future as my career expands my desire is to develop professional and sponsor relationships that will allow me to tackle the challenge of participating in the professional circuits. I believe I possess the experience the knowledge and the drive to do well.
• There are times of the year that get slow for running fishing trips. My work is filled in by working for Legend Builders of Brownsboro, Alabama. We remodel homes.
• Occasionally I run trips on Wheeler, and Neely Henry Lakes

PRODUCTS OWNED:

• I currently own a 2011 21′ Triton HP Elite Series Bass Boat with a 250XS Mercury OptiMax. I am on the Triton boat support team and try to replace my rig every 1.5 years. I just placed this boat in service 4/30/2011. This boat is equipped with the most up to date equipment available:
• My fishing arsenal consists of G-Loomis equipped with Plunger, Shimano, Chronarch and Diawa reels.                                    

I hope to get the chance to talk with you and answer all of your questions.

I’m sorry, we have lost over 100 pics with a corruption on this page. We will be getting them reloaded over the next few days. This must have happened when the last pic was added. Pic with Gray Alabama shirt. This pic was added on 2/2/12.
