It is a rare occasion when I have 20+ beers in my fridge, but thanks to a recent game night and 3 cases being purchased for me for Father's Day festivities, I actually have an abundance. A surplus, really. Whole top shelf is beer only. It is primarily New Belgium Ranger IPA & Sierra Nevada Pale ...

Waded it twice now. Learning. Enjoying it.

I have a DNR study from like 10 years ago that showed a healthy population of smallmouth at a particular spot in Poplar Creek. After a fruitless trip to the Kimball Street dam last night, on a whim, I decided I would happily go to work way too late for an opportunity to do a little wandering and exp...

I didn't actually get to see or talk to my dad, so I just dropped it off and gave him carte blanche. He is a fisherman and a painter, so, we will see what happens. I also carved a Pop-r type bait and left that with him. If/when he finishes them I will make sure to post pics.

Also, considering how tenaciously active they were in the spot I was at, only hooking up with 2 in an hour or maybe 90 minutes is pretty sad.

Made a solo trek up to Buffalo Park this morning before work. Smallies were breaking the surface in slack current behind some downed timber. Threw tube jig, jig and twister and my Bomber A square lip. Bomber was the only thing they were interested in. Hooked up with two, only landed this guy. Losing...

Caught this guy at my local pond on a feathered jig. No trailer or bait, just the feathered jig. Slow descent. Was trying for bluegill. Cursory Googling has me thinking it is a bigmouth buffalo, but, on the other hand, I have never even heard of a bigmouth buffalo.

Wat dis?
