A Match made in Heaven?
She's a vegetarian. He's a hunter. You would think the two of them would never work - but, surprisingly, here they were on the dance floor sharing their first dance as husband and wife. I was intrigued. Of the two people mentioned above, I only know the vegetarian - and, honestly, I don't know her very well.  I was still intrigued, though, and not because she's a vegetarian - anyone w...
First signs of Fall
As I walked behind the mower last week, I saw them - brown, green, crisp and dead - laying there in the mower's path; they were the first visible signs that fall is almost upon us. I realize that Labor Day isn't even here yet, but the dead leaves laying in the yard, the yellowing of the beans and corn, as well as the lower morning temps, are a sure sign that fall will be here soon. This time...
Abby’s first trip to the Zoo
With summer winding down, and hunting season close to kicking into full gear, the wife and I really wanted to do one last - purely for Abby - activity.   Then, one night while reading one of her favorite books, I instantly knew where we were heading - the zoo. Abby loves to read books involving animals, and she loves to name the animals as we read through the books.  She loves all the animal...
Moving stands, checking cams: No outfitter needed!
When I'm watching outdoor television, there is nothing that gets under my skin more than hearing the person in front of the camera say something like this: "Well......we're on our way to Battle Creek Outfitters to hunt for a few days. Jim, of BC Outfitters, has been watching a few bucks during the year, so hopefully we'll have a chance at one of them in the next few days. We're gonna get a sh...
The Aftermath
It rained on July 4th. And while the rain was a welcome relief to the retreating soldiers, as well as the victorious ones, it was not welcomed by the local residents of the little Pennsylvania town.  It came down in sheets, soaking the unburied bodies still on the field - some with hands folded, and others with clenched fists; it inhibited the Army of Northern Virginia's retreat across the Pot...

Night fishing!

Posted By: jeff on March 27, 2009 in Fishing, Steelhead - Comments: 9 Comments »

101_2049Well as I write this it’s 4:00am and I have to work today at 12:00pm so this one is going to be quick! Matt and I decided to hit our local Steelhead spot after dark again tonight. We got in the river around 11:30 and did pretty well, Matt had few on but nothing to the net. Me on there other hand had three on and landed two! We both caught  suckers and I also caught a lamprey(nasty things I tell yeah) We seen 20 or so fish landed so I would have to say it was a great night on the river. Make sure you get a good look at the war wounds on the big male I caught..Crazy fighters for sure 101_20521101_2054

    The only thing I’ve ever fished for at night was catfish, and I got bored doing that quickly so now Hubby leaves me at home when he goes on the night-time fishing trips!

    Congratulations on landing two of the three steelhead you caught! I’ve never been fishing for them… I must be missing out :)

    Night fishing, huh. That is interesting. Steelies are hard enough to catch during the day time let alone after dark. I am impressed!
