I’ve always wanted to hunt in Kansas. Tight Lines UV is a sponsor of ours and the owner Brett Ware invited me to go bow hunt with him. We shot a lot of video that week for future promotional purposes. I hope to be able to talk more about that subject in the future. The […]
Square Bill – what else would we call it?
This week was a very fulfilling experience. I met up with Matt Paino of IMA lures and field tested the final prototype for my Square Bill crank bait, which will be released at the Bassmaster Classic. I must be honest, I am a tackle junkie. I have boxes upon Flambeau boxes of crankbaits in my […]
Smoky Mountain Knives
We moved in the house yesterday. What a great feeling. Now it is time to go fishing, but first I have a dealer weekend with Buck Knives at the Smoky Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville, TN. What a store that place is! There are a lot of interesting stores in the Gatlinburg/Sevierville area but for […]
My Flambeau call to benefit Delta Waterfowl
Work on the house, work on the house, work on the house. Lots of painting, drywall and floor work to be done. We are fortunate to have some great friends and family to help out. The house is getting closer to being moved into. Before I made a full-time career out of fishing I was […]
West Virginia Hunting Fishing Day
This past weekend I was a guest of the West Virginia National Hunting and Fishing Day event at the Stonewall Resort State Park. It was an awesome event with over 20,000 people there. They had a tank there for seminars and let us put up a booth right beside it. The people of West Virginia […]
Signing your life away
Yesterday was a big day for us. After years of scrimping and saving we purchased our first home. There is a lot of work to do but flooring is the family business and we are all pretty good with our hands. The house is in Brookville, IN which is about 40 minutes from Cinci. We […]
New bait design work
Over the past couple weeks we’ve done some dove hunts here in Ohio but some cold fronts have messed it up a little. I’ve continued shooting my 20 gauge and have had a couple days of limits. Dove hunting is a really good way to practice my shooting and spend time with friends. We’ve been […]
Goose hunting
The goose hunt on the Ohio River was awesome. The first day the birds decoyed very well and we shot our limit of 5 birds per man. The second day was tougher since the birds had seen their first pressure. They did not decoy as well and we ended up shooting 6 total. Conditions were […]
Opening Day – Doves
I drove down to Tennessee last night and stayed at J.D. Blackburn’s house. He runs Pro Fishing Management and manages the business and PR side of our business. We met up with Bob George of Buck Knives for a charity dove hunt. It was Bob’s first hunt and we really enjoyed spending time together and […]
