Its been a really long time since I had two zero fish days in a row at The O’Neilll Forebay. What started out as a day of promise ended up with only one hookup and it wasn’t a striper. While casting to the dam at Oneill, I got a really light hit on the…
What are the odds of a meteor and and asteroid entering the atmosphere in the same day on earth? Answer is 100 million to 1 chance daily. Imagine if this had happened on Mayan apocalypse day! It might as well have in relation to astronomical events. “…and there will be signs in the sun, the…
I want to catch a big striped bass.by: kovacsxtranormal For the first time in years, I scored a Zero at the lake. I took my buddy Rick out and we put in a whole day looking around the Big Lake for eating fish. We saw plenty and even baitfished over a school of them for…
Yesterday, a landmark day in my daughters career – acceptance to Columbia University’s Masters Program. One of the premier masters programs in Nutrition in the country. Its off to New York before the end of the year. Congratulations to our Ivy League bound daughter. My sister and brother in law live not 15 minutes from Campus…
Well it’s official. Bass Pro has answered my letters and prayers by deciding to build one less than 3 miles from my house. Seriously, the day they hire employees, you will find me in line. Yes I know that there is more money in Private Practice, but I started in a fishing store and maybe I’m destined…
After reading and researching, I’ve decided I would prune our grapes in the Double Guyot and Cordon Pruning system. The system is essentially a spur trained version of the Guyot system that involves using single or bilateral cordons instead of canes. In double Guyot, two spurs and two canes are retained.The choice between single and double Guyot is decided…
The solonar tables predicted an EPIC day today this Chinese New Year. But instead of a parade of landed fish, all I caught were 5 dinks. I concentrated on the edges of the channels and the rock wall today. I fished the area between the islands and not a touch. I tied some skulpin flies…
Yesterday was the flattest day I have ever seen on the Forebay and today I received this message in my fortune cookie. Im still trying to estimate how big that fish really was that was caught last week on the Big Lake. There was a great post on Dan Blanton’s BBS from Captain Mike Costello–one the most…
Rick and I launched at Basalt boat launch at 11 am and fished till 4. I thought we might pick up a few fish trolling flies around O’Neill Dam where I saw a couple guys catch a couple large fish day before yesterday. We trolled around till 2:00PM without a bump. I figured we would…
When coach Jim Harbaugh sais the game was taken away from the 49rs by a bad call, it sounds like sour grapes. But if you look at the way the officials consistently favored the Ravens throughout the entire game, it makes even an impartial bystander wonder if the fix was in, especially after watching the replays. Hitting,…
The good old days are back. I just dont want to jinx it. I can still remember those 5 Superbowls. 1982, 1985, 1989, 1990, 1995. The first Superbowl win occurred in my last year of Dental School at Northwestern. I remember watching that game at Streeters Sports Bar in Chicago surrounded by 9r fans in…
