This winter has been a time to kick back a bit. I fished a bit but really pick my spots to do it, days of beating myself up in -30 are done. I like to mix it up a bit and not just do the same thing over and over again. In the limited time I've spent on the ice I welcomed Lakers, Walleye, Ling, Gills, Crappie, Perch, Pike and one Bass








Did go South to Cuba for a week of relaxation with our besties Markus and Alison, we had a blast as usual.

Fished for about 2 hours all week from the paddleboats...real serious stuff..


Biggest news at our house is this little guy.

When we lost Sinker in July we vowed never again could we go through that pain ever again. After talking to numerous people about their experience it was a client who had the most poignant line there is. There is nothing like the love from a dog, your house and lives will need it. In time, you'll see. He was right. Tucker has won us over big time and not replaced Sinker but added to the love of our household like only a dog can.
Busy few weeks ahead! I'll be at SAIL all weekend for their annual winter clearance event for Shimano. Next weekend is Ottawa Boat Show, I'll be there at least Saturday and Sunday in the Pirate Cove Marina booth. I'll also be presenting on the fish tank on Saturday at 3 PM. Yes, the fish tank is back with lots of seminars every day.
Hope to see some of you in the next few weeks, be sure to say hi.
