This past Saturday I was at Mike’s for dinner and he reminded me of a funny time we had on the Huron this winter searching for random steelhead. We were in the boat and I was in the back of the boat which is a rare occurrence since I am a whiny drift boat owner [...]

Closing weekend of 2010 was a pretty damn good time. It was a “Randy trip”. The story below will explain what that means to me and, what I would like to think and am probably right in doing so, the rest of us. There is a bit of an explanation to go along with it. [...]

I took the dogs out last night at midnight. It was clear, cold as hell, and I could have sworn someone had installed a light above my garage that was shining on my backyard. Nobody did that. Why the hell would they? It was just the full moon on a cold, clear winter night in [...]

In an earlier post I said I would follow up on the trip to the Au Sable and tell the story of the drift boat so here it is. I’ll keep the boat story short but remember I said it has been four long years. Most everyone I know has been tired of hearing about [...]
