Lost Footage of a 2017 Trip to the Boundary Waters…
The wife and I were doing some serious spring cleaning this past week and we stumbled upon an old Sony Cyber-Shot camera and on the SD card were pics from a trip I had taken with a good friend and mentor…Dennis. The premise of this trip and all subsequent planning was based around the idea…
We Returned to the River…
We finally had good weather on a weekend so we made plans to fish the river for the first time in 2024. We got up early and headed out as soon as our eyes would focus and we had a bit of coffee in us. Even Zip was excited to get out and eagerly jumped…
Update 27 April 2024…
There isn’t much new to report other than we have been chasing Crappie every chance we get. The weather has not cooperated with us too well because we have had wild temperature fluctuations and winds over 15mph with gusts over 40mph pretty consistently for the past month. Either that or its pouring rain. We have…
Transition Time…
Locally, trout fishing season is over. Most ponds were stocked on Feb 28th for the last time so it’s been slim pickings. And as the title alludes to, we’ve shifted our focus to other species. As we transition from Winter into Spring, a new set of challenges are presented. We didn’t have much of a…
Reality Check…
Last Sunday my wife and I went to one of our little local lakes and fished for a few hours. We did pretty well considering the wild weather swings we’ve had. Our main goal was to see if the Crappie had moved up into a pre-spawn pattern. Long story short, they had not, but rather…
Rethinking Ajing Rods…
I have a preference for composite grips and really light rods. The downside is fragility and that’s an issue for the way I fish. Granted, Ajing rods are usually used off of a dock or sea wall with few if any obstructions and the target species isn’t a large fish. For reference: some of my…
Trying To Make Up For Lost Time…
I think I’m doing OK and healing up; albeit slowly. Last night was the first night I didn’t take any pain medication and although I only managed an hour and a half of good sleep, I feel pretty good. The dull pain and burning sensation is still there but it’s manageable. On the pain medication…
Back on my Feet!
These past few weeks have been hell. It took almost 2 weeks to see my doctor and getting pain medication seemed to take an act of Congress. I was essentially bedridden for 8 straight days due to intense pain. It took a full 12 days before I could actually sit in a chair for more…
Out of Commission…Temporarily
Upon return from our previous fishing excursion; I stepped onto the deck to wipe my shoes off with a boot scraper and instantly, I was on my back. The wet wood coupled with algae/lichen or whatever was enough to make me slip and fall. The damage was two broken fingers, a wrenched shoulder and messed…
Outing 4 February 2024…
The day started off rainy and cool but we were really wanting to hit the trout pond again. We figured with the rain, hardly anyone would be at the pond fishing, and we were right. There were a few diehards but they stayed on the floating docks under the metal roof. We started off by…
