The new Starcraft STX 206 Viper with the Team Pro Staff Wrap. They really did a great job on the graphics with this one. The Viper is Starcraft's fiberglass version of their big water multi-species boats. I currently run the STX 2050 aluminum version, and its going to be a really tough decision come next winter when I have...
This was my 8th season heading up to Togiak River Fishing Adventures to guide for part of the summer. The fishing there was phenomenal as always: a 36 inch rainbow, sight fishing countless silver salmon on flies, the grand slam of all 5 species of salmon, nymphing for dollies, etc. But that is not the reason I go to...
Finally got a minute to sit down and give an update to a very busy and exciting summer... Early summer started off with a couple big National Walleye Tour events on lake Winnebago and out of Sturgeon Bay in Wisconsin. Winnebago was a last minute deal that I hopped in as a co-angler, which is something I had never...
Tuesday, I planned on taking local Outdoors Writer, D'arcy Egan out for some walleye fishing off Avon. We woke up to 18mph winds out of the west, and a line of storms from Toledo all the way down to Indianapolis. We decided to wait it out and around 9:00 I looked at the radar and had all but lost...
Things are starting to heat up in the competition department with 2 BIG events coming up...
Paul and I just collected a plaque and some $$$ for the 12.7lb walleye that won us the Spring Walleye Derby. A very nice bonus that helps us pay for some of these upcoming events.
Last weekend, in what has become a tradition now, my...
It's been a little while since I posted, but I've been up to a little something something: I got married! As soon as I got back to Alaska, it was a rush of last minute wedding preparations, and then Julia and I finally tied the knot on September 8th. Let me tell, you the wedding was an absolute blast. ...
Let's start out with a positive note... I learned ALOT. If you don't learn something everyday on the water, you are doing something wrong and will be left in the dust in this sport. I always wondered how some guys you see in this sport can go on a tare for a couple years,...
I had the great opportunity to go down to Jackson Memorial Middle School to speak for their "Hooked on Fishing, not on Drugs" program. It was awesome to hang out with these kids that stay after school on their own time to talk fishing and plan their next trip.

I feel like every year, there is that one day where you finally say "Spring is here." That day was yesterday, the sun was shining, lake was calm, I saw kids running around in T-shirts. And you know what that means... The next month or two will be arguable the best couple months of the year to be a...
Sorry it took me a few days to get this up. Part of it was that I just needed to unwind and spend some time with the family for the Easter holiday. Part of it was that I didn't know what to say and I just needed to let my emotions stabilize bit. Long story short, I ended...
