Most of August was spent getting my boat fixed. Now, I am waiting for some body work to be completed after a mishap in the boat launch parking lot. Late-August is one of my least favorite times to...

8/16 and 8/18 Musky Hunting
Friday was a really tough 6 hours for us as Dan missed a nice pike around 11 and that was all the action we could produce. It felt and looked like a cold front with very little visible life in the...

I thought it was time to fish………

The drought has begun
The reservoir is a few feet below summer pool and continues to drop. We will need some rain soon (or at least Pittsburgh finds some extra water to float the barges) or the boat docks on Kinzua will...
