Chasing Maine Crawdads
I’ve always heard that Maine had some big crawfish, so this past week my wife and I went to check it out. Sure enough, they do! And we had a blast going on a lobster boat to catch some, eat them and enjoy a part of the country we’ve never been to before. Folks up … Continue reading
Honoring the Melon!
Congratulations to the Farmerville Jaycees and all their sponsors and supporters who helped put on a fantastic 50th Anniversary Watermelon Festival this past weekend.

OK, this one isn’t about fishing. But on a hot, summer day when the fishing is slow, it’ll have to do. Besides, you need to know this. The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Maxwell, invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner on July 17, 1946. The temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees.

Fishing is great! Catching? well…
How’s the fishing? It’s great. You can be guaranteed to fish ’til you get your limit! How’s the catching? Well now, that’s a different story. You can still catch plenty for a fish fry or enough to have a good time on the lake, but the heat of summer — and high winds the past … Continue reading
