Hello! The Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza is on, and it is this Saturday from 12-3 on Hole-in-the-Day Bay on the north end of Gull Lake. Many people were wondering if it was going to happen this year, as the ice conditions were slow to develop. But just the other day the sheriff gave his…

This World

I don’t even know what to think about this crazy world in which we are living. I guess it’s really no surprise that we are going to hell in a hand basket (wherever that phrase came from). I know we have to keep “pressing on”, but it’s not always easy to do in our PC,…

Extravaganza Week

Good morning, it’s Extravaganza week! I’m sure there are many of you with Viking hangovers (whether or not you are a drinker or not).

Hunting With The Boys

I am fresh off a trip to our neighboring state of Wisconsin where I was fishing bass with Jimmy Bell on Lake Superior.  That just doesn’t sound right does it?  But it is right, we were on Chequamegon Bay near Ashland, WI and absolutely hammered the monster smallmouth bass!  And as exciting as it was,…

Kitty Hunting

Life…isn’t it interesting?  I’m not quite sure how to put words to what’s going on in this crazy world, but it’s getting harder and harder to stay “up” on things.  I guess it’s almost best to not pay so much attention to the negative “crap” going on, and try to focus on the good “stuff”.…
