I made an executive decision and took today off specifically to fish somewhere different. I didn't go too wild. In fact, I pretty much just went across the street from where I do the vast majority of ...

Haven’t been to Stevens in almost a month and wanted to see if the bite has improved any since my last trip. It has, to a degree. Perfect morning to fish. On the water at 5am, maybe 10 boats on the wa...

Really a maybe 3 star day, but I will get to that in a moment. I got on the water just after 7am and began my troll. I wanted to get an early start to beat the Memorial Day Weekend crowd, and more par...
