2008. A strange year in many ways. The fishing has been tremendous but I haven’t been on the bank enough despite the 2007 New Year Resolution to get out and fish a lot more. I console myself [...]

I guess in a word, fatherhood would sum it up for me. I’ve loved every minute of it. Ok forget that cliche, the first 3 or 4 months of little sleep were hard, but since then what [...]
