I’m probably not supposed to tell you guys about this and I doubt any of you would be the targeted audience but look at this. I have a kids book coming out soon.








Well since BLat went to the trouble of adding SM to the King of the Ring, I’d decided to go out SM fishing this evening. Caught this 21” smallie on a ned using Brian Barde sick stick replica.


This was the water temperature when I fished with Nathan Thursday. All of our bites came in 2ft or SHALLOWER. Do you remember what I mentioned about bass not reacting to their surroundings in the way humans do?


I had a little better day today with 12-15. There’s not many places I live fishing more than these northern rivers for largemouth. I could do this all day everyday and never get bored.




I spent the holiday looking for smallmouth. The bite was dead in the morning. However once the afternoon came I found a spot where it was almost every other cast. Only one helped me in the tournament, and I missed more than I’d care to admit, but catching smallmouth is always fun.
Great session tonight!!! Thanks for all of you who chimed in!
One of the many things I love about fishing meeting new people that share the same passion about it as you. Sometimes you meet your newest fishing buddy or you share info with someone that’s never fished that lake before. It’s more than just fishing it’s the memories the moments of quite in the wee early morning hours or sunrises/sunsets. The getting outdoors and just enjoying the simple things listening to the wildlife and letting the things in life that may be a burden gone for that moment, cause in those moments nothing but enjoying nature and trying to solve the puzzle are all that matter.










Simplicity going back to simple has helped me a lot lately downsizing and finesse 2.25” tubes and a straight tail GP blue with tip dyed chartreuse 1/8 oz Texas rig have been on fire lately. Find my self getting a lot of rods out and using only a couple having to tell myself keep it simple stupid put the lot of rods away and just fish smaller and slower as the heat rolls in catching more and bigger fish that way.
