by CaptainCraig May 22, 2012

So, I’m sitting on the couch Sunday night watching some show on Swamp-like Axemen living in the Klondike at about 9:34 pm; give or take a minute. And the phone rings. The MONEY phone.

Mother’s Day!

by CaptainCraig May 13, 2012

My Mothers’ Day report this year is pretty short. As far as a fishing blog, it is pretty hard to fashion an entry to include my wonderful mother or my wife, but without them, I wouldn’t even be here! Right now, my mother is in China taking a vacation of a lifetime, so I get out of that phone call tomorrow. And my wife is …
