It looks like the extended summer weather we’ve been experiencing recently across the Sunset Country Region is finally going to turn to typical fall weather this week with cooler temperatures creeping in as the week goes on. As nice as it’s been to be on the water over the past […]

While it was disappointing that I missed fishing in the annual Kenora Bass International tournament over the weekend on Lake of the Woods, I made the comment to my long-time tournament partner Chris Savage that if we had fished, we would have probably got our butts whipped. In the 35-year […]
After a couple of weeks on the road it’s been nice to be back home to enjoy some of our beautiful summer weather. I had been on the water, in my boat, around 90 of the past 100 days so I’m enjoying some downtime from fishing this week, spending time […]
The seventh stop of the Bassmaster Elite Series season took place this past weekend at Lake St. Clair on the border between Michigan and Ontario. It was my fifth time visiting this smaller Great Lake and for some reason my hard times continued at this body of water. My past […]
