David Jones is now B 'n' M Fishing on Pro staff New designation is a realization of a dream to become the best at an avocation he learned from two masters, Grandfather Presley Chelf and buddy Sammy Blair, who grounded him in basic fishing skills and gave him the solid foundation for a fishing career which has now gone to a whole new level By Ed Waggener With the appointment of David Jones of the Jones Chapel Community, Adair County is now home to one of only 40 staff pro's for B 'n' M Fishing, a nationwide fishing gear company headquartered in West Point, MS. Of the 40, one other is in Kentucky, which means the Commonwealth's great status as a fishing state lets it have a disproportionate number of B 'n" M staff pros.Jones is a crappie fishing guide who works exclusively on Green River Lake, primarily out of the Holmes Bend Marina & Resort. "Green River Lake is just a wonderful place to fish, especially to catch crappie. It was recently named by a national publication as one of the five best crappie lakes in the whole state of Kentucky," he said. He likes the convenience of working on Green River Lake, which is less than 100 miles from Louisville and Lexington. "That can mean Green River Lake is especially attractive to fishermen when money is a little tight," he said. "In fact, I've really been having a lot of people call and ask me about trips this summer," he said. "Recently, I was featured in a fishing magazine Kentucky Fish & Gamecover, and off that publicity alone," he said, "I booked three trips." His photograph was also on the cover of Outdoor View and he has hopes that will gain some business for him as well as attract more fishermen to Green River Lake. B 'n' M is know across the world for its premier crappie rods," Jones said. "It's a great honor to be part of a company which produces such great equipment," he said. "I'm really looking forward to worth with them."  Green River Lake crappie heavily depleted, 35 keepers taken Bill Irvin a student at Adair County Elementary School, and Principal Robbie Harmon with a string of 35 keeper crappie taken at Green River Lake on a Green River Guided Crappie Trip with Green River Guide David Jones The three fishermen caught fishing out of Holmes Bend Boat Dock back on May 29, 2008. Bill Irvin won the half-day trip at an Adair County Elementary School event on May 16, 2008. Jones said that he and Principal Robbie Harmon cleaned the fish and sent them home with Bill to have for supper that night. He guarantees trip will mean fish in the creel He's built his solid reputation as a guide with reasonable rates and a unique guarantee. One or two people pay only $200 a day for an eight hour session of fishing, and his written warranty, which says, "Guaranteed Catch--If we don't catch your dinner, we will provide you with a free trip." "I not only want you to catch fish when people hire me as their guide," he said, "but I want their Green River Lake experience to be an unforgettable one. I want them to have fun, and I want to treat them as company while they are with us in Adair County, the way my folks at Knifley taught me." He's active in the Jones Chapel Community and church He's active in the Jones Chapel Community, especially in the Jones Chapel United Methodist Church, where he and wife Pam Parnell Jones are members. Jones, a native of Adair County, has been Director of Pupil Transportation for the Adair County School District in Columbia for six years.  All Smiles at one of David Jones' School Bus Garage Breakfasts In October of 2007, David Jones School Bus Garage Appreciation Breakfast accommondated 165 people, who all raved over mouthwatering food.

Dignitaries at the occasion included, from left, Columbia Mayor Pat Bell, Adair County Sheriff Ralph Curry, Adair County CJE Ann Melton, (Jones) and Superintendent Darrell Treece. Jones' cooking skills are versatile. He may also be cooking whole meals for fishing parties of 3 on the banks of Green River Lake or stealing the show at big church potlucks and reunions with his perfectly fried fish.In both his job and in his church work, he displays distinctive talents as a cook. Every year, at the Adair County Bus Garage, he holds a breakfast to honor the 55+ bus drivers, school administration officials, and invited dignitaries from around the county. The meals draw crowds of 165 people or more, many of whom acclaim the breakfast better than the Governor's Derby Dinner Breakfast. He cooks any of the breakfask items, but usually fits in where, after assessing the other talent available, he pitches in where needed. One recent one, two years included the following preparation:
He's been fishing Green River Lake all his life, since he was a child, he said. "It's a passion for me." Like all great fishermen, he acknowledges two great mentors in his life, the late Presley Chelf," his grandfather, and his good friend, Sammy Blair. "Both of them took time to take me fishing," he says. "They taught me a lot and really gave me a solid start." The B 'n' M credentials let him to continue doing the things he loves, continue to indulge that passion he has for catching fish, showing Adair County hospital, helping others catch fish.
