Growing up in Kenora, one place that I always got really excited to visit when I was a kid was the Lake of the Woods Museum, located at the south end of Main Street. When I was in school, I always liked history class, especially Canadian history and how people […]

It was a large slice of humble pie for me this past weekend down at Lake Hartwell in South Carolina—the second stop on the FLW Tour for 2014. My 148th-place finish probably was the worst tournament finish I think I’ve ever had, at least that I can remember. If I […]
This is officially the worst winter ever! That is the only way I can describe it in a non-offensive way. Over the past weekend, my parents sent me a photo of the seven-foot tall snow banks in their front yard. It’s depressing. Down in South Carolina, where I am this […]
After a quick week at home, I was back on the road late last week and had an eventful weekend attending my first Bassmaster Classic tournament in Birmingham, Ala. The Bassmaster Classic is the biggest bass tournament in the world, hands down. It is the year-end championship of the Bassmaster […]
After spending a few weeks in south Florida, it was back to reality (and winter) for me this past week. Other than the foot of snow that had piled up in my driveway, it was nice to be home. Although this winter has been long, with no end in sight, […]
The 2014 FLW Tour kicked off last weekend down at Lake Okeechobee in Florida. After spending the past few weeks in Florida, essentially preparing for this event, my results in the tournament ended up being quite disappointing. My three-day practice for this tournament went okay but not great. I did […]
Those of you back home reading my column probably have heard enough about all the fishing that I’ve been doing in warm and sunny Florida over the past couple of weeks, but that’s what I’ve been doing. The first bass tournament of the 2014 FLW Tour season starts this week […]
Since arriving in Florida about a week ago, I have been following the weather back home and it looks like things still haven’t really shaped up. Although I’m not going to complain about the weather here in Florida, I can tell you it’s been anything by tropical here, as well. […]
The next few weeks are going to be fun for me. After spending three long days driving over the past weekend, I finally made it down to Florida to do some fishing and prepare for the first FLW Tour bass tournament of the year at Lake Okeechobee. After planning and […]
It’s safe to say that all of us enjoyed the “tropical” weather that showed up over the past weekend. I know I did! After nearly a month of bitter cold, it’s nice to get a little break from the deep freeze or, as some people have been calling it, the […]
It sure is a good thing that our summers are as nice as they are across Sunset Country because the cold weather we’ve had over the past month really has me questioning why anyone would want to live here. Over the past week, I’ve had to spend my days outside […]
Several years ago, the Ministry of Natural Resources developed zones across the province based on geographical location and similarities in characteristics of water, which they use to manage our fisheries. In Northwestern Ontario, there are three zones across the southern part of the region, stretching from the Manitoba border to […]
