I made my way through all the traffic around Detroit today, up to Auburn Hills to visit the Bass Pro Shops store in Great Lakes Crossing.

I did some shopping while at the store, but I also brought the camera with me.  Every once in a while a blind dog gets the bone, and this […]

What are the advantages of using a flasher like Vexilar units on open water?  Quite a few actually.
I mentioned realtime readings in the prior piece.  This means whatever you are reading is actually happening at that moment.  The flasher units do not need to interpret what the signals mean and then display the information into […]

Here’s a prank you’ll want to try on your best fishing buddy, only don’t expect him to still be your buddy when it’s over.
