I love to fish, and I love to eat fresh fish as well. I’m also an advocate of a responsible harvest of fish, which means respecting the open and closed seasons, slot sizes if applicable, and common sense when it comes to deciding to keep a fish or not. On my recent trip to […]

This year our annual Father / Son / Friends fishing trip took place a bit later, it was the first weekend of October. A series of scheduling conflicts left us with few choices, but we at least found a common date. We’ve fished later in the season before, and had some of the worst weather […]

I’ve done several reviews in the past on various Mystery Tackle Box orders I have received and they were fun. Some I purchased, some were given to me as gifts from people who knew I loved to fish. I did stop however, because most of the tackle is really designed for Bass Anglers, and that’s […]
