Japanese Anglers Who Have Been an Inspiration to Me…
I have studied Japanese fishing techniques for almost a decade now. Several Anglers have shared their knowledge publicly and I am grateful to them. Each of them are true masters of their craft and almost all of them are rod and lure designers as well as product testers. Junichi Numata first came to my attention…
July Has Been Fun…
This year has been tough for fishing since it has rained almost every weekend. Water levels have fluctuated wildly and caused fishing to be difficult. Now the heat has finally arrived and hopefully will drive the humidity down. The house projects are almost complete. We had new fencing installed last week and the front deck…
Happy 250th Birthday America!
And I hope we can go another 250 years. Sometimes it seems that things are “off” and people can’t get along, but inevitably, things have a way of working out. I myself am proud to be an American and am thankful for all the opportunities that have been presented. The possibilities are limitless to anyone…
Still Fishing!
2026 has been a crazy year for us. I ended up needing elbow and wrist surgery, and had that done in early March. We are still trying to get the house finished up. We had gutters installed but still have many things to do. Getting people to show up and work has been almost impossible.…
Science Keeps Moving Forward…12MAY2026
I have been put out of temporary commission due to another elbow and wrist surgery. Typical of my nature, I started researching topics related to fishing. I ran across a podcast from OzarkWeekly and listened to several in a series about the Neosho Bass. Doing subsequent research, I read where this bass was finally designated…
Outing Feb 08, 2026…
We finally made it back to the trout pond. We are still dealing with the new house and trying to get everything finished. I purchased a rod back in January and did not have time to take it out and use it, which was the main reason I wanted to go fishing today. The rod…
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…
