This blog is an on-going account of my pursuit of improvement, with the hopes that this will not only chronicle my successes and failures, but engage others to share their own.

This event took place a number of years ago, on the annual fishing trip to Georgian Bay in the Thousand Islands. I was trolling a Mepps Cyclops when a big Pike HAMMERED my line, leaving me no questions as to whether I had a huge fish on or not. A few things to consider before watching. […]

When I put the boat away in the fall of 2012 I knew it would be a long time before I’d be out on the water again, but boy, you forget how long that really is! When you close up for the winter, you’ve just finished a full season of fishing and boating, and you […]

After bringing the boat home from storage, it was time to get the grime of the previous year off, and see if any touch up work needed to be done. My laundry list is a bit longer than I had hoped. I need to wash the boat out, touch up paint most of the interior […]

Spring is in the air, and that means one thing, fishing season is around the corner. This weekend we headed to Halliburton to get my boat out of storage, and pick up my motor at the marina. I store the boat up at my fathers as he has the room. I put sawhorses over the […]
All Things Fishing, Trip Reports Apr 14, 2013
Looking back over twenty years of annual fishing trips, I confess there was always one thing missing…the fish. Each year there is talk of the new tackle, the new strategies, that “this could be the year”, but the results are the same: great nature shots, wonderful food, and an emphasis on how good it was […]

A few years ago we were up at Esnagami Lodge, and when we headed out on our first morning we knew we were planning on jigging for Walleye. We had a guide with us, and he took us to an area about 100 feet off of an island, and assured us that fish would be […]

It’s the Easter Weekend, and the weather has been spectacular! I decided to give my wife some time to herself and take the kids on a drive out to Conestoga Lake, my “home lake” to get a first hand look at the water levels, and to show the kids how the dam works. Conestoga Lake […]
Equipment & Gear Mar 30, 2013
Up until a few years ago, I didn’t have a soft plastic in my arsenal. I had spoons, spinners, crank baits, jerk baits etc, but no artificial crawlers, twister tails, or swim baits. After going on a fishing trip up north to Esnagami Wilderness Lodge I learned the art and joy of jigging for Walleye. […]

In this episode I confess to having too much tackle, and not even knowing what some of it is. I’ll also discuss some of my storage plans! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4txy2l5Syhg&w=560&h=315]

I’m a full time husband and father of two, I’m passionate and am passionate about other things such as fishing and the outdoors. I started fishing when I was in my late teens, going on an annual father and son fishing trip, that had less to do wish fishing, and more to do with fellowship. In […]
