Belwood Pike Tournament 2014

My brother Chris and I participated for the second time in the Belwood Pike Tournament, hosted as a fundraiser by the Belwood Lions Club. Last year was an epic failure for us, as we fished for 17 hours and caught only one fish TOTAL, a tiny pike. This year we had renewed hope, with better […]

New Boat for 2014

When I got my current boat 3 years ago, it was with the plan to use it as an experiment. Would I use it regularly, would the family enjoy using the boat, would we take it with us on vacation, essentially, would we be a “boat family”. It would be easy to just get a […]

Mystery Tackle Box January 2014

Well, I’m late again! I must be delayed with the endless days of shovelling this year. Can you believe how much snow and cold we’ve been getting in Southwestern Ontario? I just keep reminding myself that in a few months, I’ll be fishing on that snow after it’s melted, and that it’s a good sign […]

Christmas Gear 2013

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, mostly because I haven’t been on the water in a long time! I was out in November, but I just had a terrible outing, nothing worth putting on the screen, so this is my first time to post anything meaningful. I’m in the midst of a job […]

Unboxing My Mystery Tackle Box October 2013

I recently saw what I think is one of the coolest ideas I’ve seen in a long time. It is called Mystery Tackle Box, and I signed up at once. The idea as I understand it, it a way for lure manufactures to get new and exciting products into the hands of anglers, who may […]

Still some great fishing planned, and I have a goal!

Fall is by far my favourite season of the year. I love the temperatures, the colors, and the fact that most bodies of water have very low traffic on them. The view of my surroundings as I’m on the water in Fall just add that extra level of enjoyment, and the backdrop for those fishing […]

We’ve been going to this same lodge for over 20 years, and enjoy the combination of friendship, scenery, and hopefully a few fish along the way. This photo […]
