It’s always fun to catch fish with a new lure, and this was the case during my visit to Shekak Lake with White River Air in the spring of this year. With a spring trip you are expecting cold weather and cold water, which means we were anticipating having to slow things down in order to […]

After putting the Delorme inReach SE through its paces, I’m ready to share my feedback, which is 100% positive. Below, I have shared a video review I shot on the dock during a remote fishing trip, where we had no contact with the rest of the world for 7 days. No phone, no internet, just […]
