:::new blog in town:::

i am contributing on a new blog tackle review site. big fish outfitters review. you may want to check it out and add it to your favorites. its a bit different than most review blogs that there are three contributers with strong opinions that rarely match up so you get a balanced review of the product and the banter is usually pretty comical.

:::henry daddy doodie:::

a good day was had by...

:::soaking the hig:::

i went fishing with hig today, and we did well... notice that his clothes are wet. that's right, after he set the hook his pole was jerked from his hands. he hesitated for a bit watching his pole sink, and dove in, phone and all. handed the pole to me, and i held the pole till we got him back in the boat, and he reeled him the rest of the way.

:::a great day on the water:::

a couple of months ago i took the 4 kids fishing... thanks to hig for the pics!

:::arrietta outings:::

we have been running over to lake arrietta and found some deep brush piles and shell beds with some good fish on them, most of them fattening up to get ready to spawn.
