All our coastal river are low due to the unseasonable great weather. Fishing has remained very good.

Remembering an Old Friend

It’s funny how we meet people through life.  Some there is a link for life, others just pass in and out.  One year ago today we lost a friend.  He was one of those that the link was as strong as most of my family, shoot is some cases more. We over the years  fished [...]
