Over the past couple of months, I have used the Aqua-Vu underwater camera on my boat quite a lot. It was mostly for prefishing purposes in preparation for some of the bass tournaments that I was competing in but it was also used to entertain a few kids that I […]
Here is hoping everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We had one day with no moisture, but it returned with its ugly face again. Since it started to rain on Aug. 17, we have had 433.5 mm or 17.34 inches. That is the amount that we should receive through our […]
I haven’t always known myself very well. For some of us, it takes a lifetime to figure out the intricacies of who we are, but for many years I have known I cannot listen to call-in radio programs. I’ve tried, many times, especially where I might garner some various perspectives […]

After being away from Northwest Ontario for much of September I returned home last week to different conditions both in the woods and on area waters than we’ve seen in quite some time. I always pay attention to the weather around home when I’m gone so I was aware that […]
