The nice weather over the weekend was welcome relief from the extended winter we’ve been experiencing right across Sunset Country for the past couple of weeks. I spent a few days fishing over the weekend, getting in my last kick at the ice before I head back down south this […]

Tomorrow will mark the beginning of the calendar spring. Sunday was St. Patrick’s Day and the wearing of green really marked the beginning of spring. My mother was dressed in green at her Rainycrest home and she could feel the heat of the sun blazing through her south-facing window on […]
Well, March Break is over and the weather really wasn’t so bad for everyone to get outside and enjoy some fresh air. The sun feels so incredible at this time of the year. I was fortunate to spend a good part of the March Break with some kids. Maddie and […]
I love an umbrella and not for the obvious reason of keeping dry in a downpour, though I suppose that reason may play a part. And it can’t be any umbrella. It must be an umbrella that looks as though it has a story to tell, a secret perhaps, and […]

The “Classic” is the most prestigious bass-fishing tournament in the world, with 50 of the top anglers from the Bassmaster Elite Series and Bassmaster Opens tournaments competing for a $300,000 first-place […]

Aristotle had some firm ideas on writing and how to present a valid argument to an audience of readers. The elements of ethos, pathos, and logos must be present in balance, according to Aristotle. And though Aristotle was born more than 2,000 years ago, his sense of a written argument […]
One of the biggest influences of my career, and what I enjoy the most, is the inspiration and interaction of people. To put it simply, we all have taste buds and eat food every day, so we have a common denominator that we can connect on and relate to. For […]

On Thursday (March 7), the La Vallee fire department responded to a blaze at a residence in the township. The fire stations in Emo and Alberton also responded after a third automatic alarm. Upon arrival, the residence was fully engulfed in flames. Fortunately, all of the occupants were out. An […]
Aside from the equipment we need to actually hook and land a fish, sunglasses are right up there as an important, must-have item for anglers.
