Together, my wife and I cruised the Tennessee River into the night. Rather than go to one big show about 45 miles away, which we heard was very crowded. We decided to ‘just cruise’ about 20 nautical miles to enjoy the broader spectrum of fireworks and scenery. Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest
I do miss the Pacific Ocean, especially going to Two Harbors, Catalina Island. These Sting Rays were caught inland, Newport Harbor. Sadly, now the boat sits most the time. I need to explore more of the Tennessee River.
Today was my first time putting our boat in the water since we moved to Tennessee. Since my wife’s still in California, I took my puppy Caliber with me. The purpose for this trip was not to fish but to explore and experience our river system. But I did briefly troll from the launching ramp
For about one year I belonged to the two Inland Empire Fishing Facebook groups, one of them the Inland Empire Bass Fishing Facebook group. I stayed in compliance with their ‘group rules’ but got removed by their administrators. Why? For reporting inappropriate posts to their administrators. Those posts I reported were clearly in violation of
Will the Lowrance HOOK Reveal 7 work over 300’ depth of sea level? Boaters told me “no,” but a Lowrance expert showed me how, here’s how you do it. This will enable you to see structure in the deeper parts.
In the original video, I gave a 15-minute commentary about this rod and reel, but since the garage was over 100 degrees, my GoPro kept shutting off “due to heat.” Since the video was a mess, I ended up making a shorter music video out of it. Perhaps later I’ll do a field review of
That is why my wife always tells me “Wear your lanyard!” (especially if I’m alone). It’s common to hear “Securite” broadcasts all day long, but when I hear a “Pan Pan” or a “Mayday Mayday”, listening vessels must be ready to assist or relay. The following is from The BoatUS Foundation. In emergency situations, there
The wide-screen GoPro doesn’t do justice, so ENLARGE VIDEO TO FULL SCREEN. Today I planned to go to Catalina Island for breakfast. But that all changed when I decided to drop a line into the water. Somehow, I wasn’t hungry anymore. I hooked a large fish that fought for approximately 30 minutes. It ended up
My longest-term childhood friend was Brad Kloepfer, and we were neighbors and buddies since 1962. We played GI Joes together, ding dong ditched together, fished and went boating on our parents’ boats, raised hell together, and became police officers together. But sadly, in the year 2018 all that ended when Brad and his wife Connie
My wife and I and a brother from church went on an adventurous lunch excursion to the Santa Catalina Islands. Since my wife does not want to be on social media, I did not video most of our trip. Sadly, while enroute we struck a large object. By the time we turned the boat around,
If there are no small craft advisories next week, and the marine weather is reasonable, a brother from church and I will be going to the Santa Catalina Islands. We’ll be going to enjoy a nice meal and talk about a possible prolific ministry endeavor. Who knows, we might even put a pole in the
