January and february in Indiana is cold as a witches titty. The weather is very unpredictable. Some years we get no snow, and some years we get puked on. Lake effect snow and ice has been piling up this year shutting down roads and rivers but also giving me a chance to tie and regroup for the next day when […]
Mid Winter Warm ups
Fishing 4 Work
Most of my fishing revolves around the clock. That being said, I work a “Monday to Friday” job and I don’t have to go in until noon-ish. I always hear people saying that they don’t have time to fish due to work, kids, or simply just a financial thing. Trust me, I completely understand were everyone is coming from and […]

An Australian Native
Last Minute Mission Pt.1
What is the meaning to life ? according to sources found elsewhere among the catacomb’s of this place we call the internet, its defined as ; Significance, origin, purpose, and ultimate fate. I can agree with that for the most part however, I can’t help but wonder what the “old timers” might offer forward. Maybe a swift smack on the back of […]

What really matters
Hello all, I’ve done one or two posts already, I’ve kept it pretty simple and about the fishing so far. However, being inspired by Riley’s most recent post I figure I would write a little more than just the boring old report and pictures, and tell you all a little more about who I am. I was born and raised in the mountains of Pennsylvania for the first […]
Getting Hostel
The Plan: Convert my F250 to run on alternative fuels. Eat fried everything and dump the oil into the truck. Brian Jill inspired me with his Geofish project. My story is basically the same only lame. I didn’t quit my day job and still can’t afford to travel and fish like I want to. I have a desire to jump […]
