Our 5th Anniversary!
WordPress just reminded me of the date. I just wish the timing were better. I’m not really feeling it at the moment unfortunately. But Thank You to all the readers and visitors. You are all very much appreciated.
“JACK” RIP Sep 16, 2015-Feb 01, 2026.
They say a man is blessed if he has one good dog in his lifetime. I have been blessed many times over. It all began when our daughter dragged two puppies home many moons ago. They were abandoned on the side of the road with a bucket and a blanket. Both ended up having the…
Nostalgia Got Me…
I have been staring at these reels for a long time. They are hard to get and pricey. Several times I have been in the right place at the wrong time and never picked one up until recently. A good friend of mine decided to part with his, so I snatched it up. They come…
Ready For 2026…
I am stoked for 2026! Ready to get out there and fish, make plans for outings and trips, and even purchase some new gear. All in due time. We are still trying to put the finishing touches on the new house and are working with the builder to resolve a few issues. It has been…
Florida Trip Gear Selection…
With weight and space restrictions forced upon us, careful gear selection was critical. We decided on two reels and two rods apiece. We packed a variety of plastic paddle tails and jigheads. We figured that if necessary we could find a local tackle shop to resupply if we miscalculated. We packed minimal clothing since most…
Florida Trip 19MAY2025…
Both of us needed a change of pace. So we booked flights on Allegiant, reserved a rental car and a hotel and packed the necessary gear. Certain times of the year, Allegiant flies round trip from Tulsa to St. Petersburg, and the flights are inexpensive ( $185-ish ). True to form, this was a Spartan…
Merry Christmas and an Update…
First off, I would like like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope they are doing well. Secondly, I’d like to give an update on what is going on and why we have been absent. My wife and I started the process to have a house built back in August. We are finally in…
Outing 27 April 2025…Monster Crappie!
We ended up coming back to this local lake in the evening because we tried to get to it in the morning but there were too many cars. The parking lot is completely underwater due to all of the recent rains as well as debris clogging the overflow pipe. Apparently, maintenance is not a high…
It Has Been Awhile…
All is well here and we have been fishing every chance we get. Trout season started late due to weather related events but we still managed to get to the trout pond multiple times and did quite well. The weather has been all over the place this year. A typical week consists of winds 25-40mph,…
Fishing With Spoons…
I was late to the spoon fishing game by all accounts. A very knowledgable gentleman by the name of Christopher Stewart was the first to open my eyes to the possibilities of using spoons for trout and panfish. It helped that he stocked and sold Japanese spoons as well as rods, reels and lines. What…
