Mike Cork on Cross LakeWelcome to Ultimate Bass. I am Mike Cork I joined the military in 1988 and currently serve as a Superintendent of aircraft maintenance. Not only has the A.F. taught me how to work on aircraft but they have also provided training in Professional Leadership Skills evolving speech, writing, communications, psychology and personnel  management. During my career I have been stationed in many places and got to visit far away lands that allowed me to fish in some untapped resources! I have three wonderful daughters, several animals and a very understanding and wonderful wife that you all know as Laurie!

Home State: Louisiana
Home Lake: Cross Lake Reservoir, Shreveport LA
Days on the Water: 100 plus
Years Fishing Experience: Since the beginning, Tournament fishing for the past 24 years

I have been an avid bass angler since I can remember, and family members have photo's of me holding a rod and reel at ages I think no one could remember. I started competitive bass fishing when I was 13 with my dad in a team circuit and have been hooked every since. With the exception of when the military calls I can be found on the water most every weekend and any week days I can seek off.

Over the years I have filled my off duty time with every aspect of bass fishing that I could. I love fishing club tournaments for the comraderie, circuit fishing for the intesity, and fun fishing for the relaxation. When I am not on the water or at work, you can always find me here on Ultimate Bass trying to learn every detail I can about bass fishing as a whole.

In the beginning I started fishing from a 10 aluminum john boat that I had decked out with swivel seats on storage boxes, a trolling motor and carpeted floors; fishing small ponds and the bays of resevoirs that I could get the truck too. I still believe I caugh more fish out of that boat then any other that I have owned. I have been fortunate enough to fish in many states from Florida to California and many points inbetween. The lessons I have learned threw out my travels have definately improved my fishing and taugh me things that make me appreciate and love this fantastic sport we call Bass Fishing!
