Being a bit grumpy, drawing the line and helping firefighters

by Todd Corayer | Jun 17, 2016 | skeet shooting, Striped Bass Fishing

So June 18 is National Go Fishing Day. Why this day is important, I have no idea. It has all the hallmarks of a Hallmark holiday, something derived to sell more hooks and licenses like National Rotisserie Chicken Day sells cards, Hummels-not the ones who periscope...

by Todd Corayer | Jun 17, 2016 | Fluke Fishing, Striped Bass Fishing

by Todd Corayer | May 2, 2016 | Fresh Water Fishing, Striped Bass Fishing, Trout Fishing
