It’s Time To Ban Nips
It’s Time To Ban Nips. End of sentence. Nips are those small, shiny booze bottles that are all the rage now and they keep ending up on the side of the road and in fish’s streams. They are unrecyclable, they are unnecessary and they need to go. Drop the nip.
Everett Littlefield’s Epic Spring Passing
Everett Littlefield’s epic Spring passing was a celebration of a good man who lived life on his own terms, surrounded each day by his family, on the island home he loved.

This is the right seafood dinner to make with a group of friends huddled in a kitchen, telling stories of Spring and warm water fishing, or after a good day on the ice. Enjoy!
Glasswater Angling Lead-Free Lures
This week we meet John King and his wife Kathy who own Glasswater Angling Lead-Free Lures to help us all catch more fish in fresh and saltwater without poisoning the very waters we love. It’s a great company and an even greater story. Lead-free is the way to be.
