How to Rig & Fish Creek Chubs
This is a continuation article series on how to properly fish creek chubs and rig them properly. You can read about how to trap & fish creek chubs here. Creek chubs, as I’ve talked about many times in both articles and our podcast, are great big-fish baits. They’re usually big and feisty, and for various reasons fish just love them. The common misconception of fishing creek chubs is to think that just because you have them on the line, fish are just going to swarm to them. That’s just not the case. The key is to be ON the fish, THEN the bait matters. But at the end of the day, that’s the case with all fishing, isn’t it? So

Fish Cleaning Station Dos & Don’ts – Don’t Be That Guy…
It took some time, maybe even decades, but boaters have really figured out the dos and don’ts at the boat ramp. We all have seen it, that guy who backs down the ramp and unloads all his stuff and starts undoing everything. It’s definitely not a common thing to see anymore. Maybe those guys have gotten enough verbals over time and learned if you want to survive to back your boat down a ramp again that you do not do that. However, now I’m seeing a new irritating thing that needs to be addressed. This one isn’t as stressful or time-sensitive, but for a guy like me who makes his living as a full-time fisherman, time is money. So before

Are you a Fishing Charter or Hunting Outfitter & Struggling to Get Leads?
Secret About Me… I have 2 small dogs that are spoiled beyond belief. LOVE those dogs…they are my sidekicks and are usually with me… I’ve been fortunate enough that I’ve been able to make a living in the outdoors for over 20 years now. I’m not going to lie, it’s been a fun ride and I love what I do. Most people know my time online from the forums I created in hunting and fishing…which I later sold in 2013. I think the timing was right, especially with social media apps taking over that space. Since then, I’ve been designing websites for other people, not myself. My father was a stock broker, so obviously people trusted him with their retirement

Best Dog Shock Collar for Training Dogs & in the Field
You got the new pointing lab puppy home. You got the dog bed, the treats, the food, the retrieving dummies, dog food dishes and maybe even a good crate (I like ruff tuff – but that is another post). But what are the best dog training collars? A guy can’t help but notice the number of shock collars on the market — there are literally hundreds. With all those different types of training collars it is tough to know where to start to get a good one. Since I use electric shock collars practically every day, I came up with a brief review of what I consider the best dog shock collar. Hardy and robust, these collars have spent many

The Truths About Snow Goose Hunting
Snow goose hunting is a love/hate relationship. Don’t get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for the bird. Their ability to make you look SMALL at times, is where the hate comes in. It reminds me a lot of musky fishing. Some days you throw big baits all weekend for nothing…and other times it all seems to just come together. Snow goose hunting is no different. To show my age, I’ve been snow goose hunting on my own for 30 years. Started much earlier with Dad, but my passion for hunting snow geese really took off when I was in High School. I spent my spring break in college hunting the inaugural spring season in Nebraska. Been a fun
