Read detailsAnyone who has fished with me knows my obsession with poppers. I love them. My grandfather used to give me balsa poppers to use for bass and bluegill when I was a kid and it’s snowballed from there some 30 years later. There’s just something amazing about seeing the eat.

Read detailsOver a decade ago my father in law gave me this bike to restore. It’s a 1972 Honda CB450. I gave it to a friend’s dad because I didn’t have the means to restore it at the time. I bought a 1981 Honda CB650 Nighthawk and rode that until I sold it to a friend.…

Read detailsI hooked up the boat to the Jeep and pulled it out of the garage. Of course in Fritz’s mind this means car ride. In mine it means go sleep in the Jeep while I sand some wood and throw some varnish on this project so I can be done with it. I glanced up…
Read detailsSummer is winding down. It’s been a weird one. I thought it was just me, but many people have mentioned how bad the fishing has been for them. Good to see there’s some solidarity in our lack of fish to hand. I figured I’d start doing some photo dumps as I see to build up…
