There is hope in sight! Just wanted to share this ice melting warm news. Melt baby melt!

All the talk about Walleye reminded me of this commercial. This is a very accurate commercial!

Alright when the high is -8 it’s time I need to start looking at moving down south for the winter.

Almost every year we set up a hockey rink in the backyard. WHY am I just realizing this now, I could keep this up all year and stock it with fish!

Here’s some interesting data for ya. I was listening to a podcast about FFS and the Elite series. In 2024 74% of top 10 finishes did it with solely with FFS. Of those 74% in the top 10, they used only 3 baits. Minnow, Jerkbait, and a worm.

Got together with my fishing buddies for New Years!! Had a great 2025 fishing strategy meeting over some drinks and authentic LA gumbo! Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!!!

I mean what else would I wear to the office Christmas party.

Thank you Brian Barde for making a custom rod for my father in law for Christmas!
