    Sunday was beautiful. Sunny skies and easy winds from the west. Headed a little farther east than I have this year and it paid off with bigger fish. A slow start, but once the tide started to flood, we had nonstop action on jigs in 30'. Three anglers put at least 10-12 keepers in the boat, with...

    Daniel Jones got to where he is with the Giants because under center, he looks like Eli Manning, not because of his QB skills. The Giant's front office must have thought there was something familiar and comforting about his appearance. As for skippy, I can't take credit for this line, but he...

    Last year I was fishing near some big rocks in my end of the Western Sound, when I was surprised to hook something big, and it cut me off on the rocks. I thought I'd give that spot another try. Action was a little slow, with mostly tiny fish - then I hook something that doesn't budge after I set...

    I watched hard knocks. Eventually, against my better judgment, I had hope for a winning season. Then a minute in, the Rogers injury ruined it all. But then they beat the Bills, so maybe it's not so bad. Then they lose 3 straight, so no hope. I can stop caring. Then they beat Denver and...
