Hello all. Glad to be here and I look forward to sharing my journey and taking advice from real experts as I return to fishing. I fished with my family as a kid until the early 1990s. A number of alcohol related boating fatalities and a few close calls of our own prompted mom and dad to make the decision to put fishing on the back burner. About thirty years later, after the passing of our mother, my brother enticed me back to the water. Finding a balance between work and water has been nearly impossible this year. Next year will be different. From January through March, we will be targerting river walleye and the rest of the time will be dedicated to bass and crappie. I look forward to sharing the journey through next year.
