Fishing and (mostly) fun

  • The Susquehanna;or how not to hear what they tell ya!

      First let me say that the Hobie PA14 with the 360 Mirage Drive handled the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania much better than its owner. Dodging in and out of exposed boulders, drifting over those just below the surface…then allowing me to flutter pedal in any direction to maintain motion in the swift waters; an Read more

    Kentucky Lake – or how not to choose a launch…..

    Self-awareness is something I work hard to achieve.  It is not easy.  Even when my wife asked me last night if my choice was knowledge or Ego…I told her it was knowledge.  I had caught over 90 inches in an hour and a half during pre-fishing.  I just knew the fish would be there – Read more
