April 17 - Cold & Windy (Grand River)

Cold and wind doesn't stop the fishermen for going out.... for a while.

My friend Jack is in the background and son Nicholas shown here drifting a spawn bag and having fun with smaller fish hitting now and then.  Nicholas elected to wear his warm, fur lined hunting hat... Good Call today!

Time to blog !

Well, I finally decided to do it......to blog! It seems like I'm being left behind in this fast and furious world. Newsletters are out and blogs are in. I mean I don't even have a smart phone or what's app !! So, it is time to grab this fast and furious world by the scruff of the neck and show it who the boss is. As it was with my newsletter, I wont be posting something everyday, only when needs must. Regarding themes, well I guess I will be posting things which I need to get out of my system and things which I think may be of interest to others. My newsletter included things like latest news, tours, new CD's etc. All of these things are available on my homepage anyway so blogging opens up another dimension for me, one which will take me and my readers into the great unknown :-) Of course I will be welcoming your comments to my blogs, thumbs up or thumbs down. Here we go then.................................................................. YO! Steve

The weather was great and we did not see many people fishing - it was opening weekend for Walleye and Trout.  As you can see from my photo below there are no other people as far as you can see.
