I love catching Bowfin.

(29/250) Bowfin are found in slow-moving rivers, swamps and backwaters across the eastern United States. They're known for their long dorsal fin and ability to breathe air using a primitive lung. In the colder months they become less active, retreating to deep, vegetated waters.

FYI for Old Town Sportsman Owners:

Old Town / Minn Kota recommends replacing the trolling motor brushes every 150 hours. Mariner Sails just put the brush kit on sale for $15.99 (normally $19.99). Very reasonable shipping cost of $6.25 for ground shipping. I'M NOT AFFILIATED WITH OR COMPENSATED BY MARINER SAILS IN ANY WAY; I'm just providing the info for your benefit. The kit can be found here:

Also, I found a very good video on how to replace the brushes yourself here:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 😊

Today's mission was to meet the Northern P*ke that broke my line twice last week. We met, but not the way I wanted. It was a wild morning of kayak fishing. I caught 1 Largemouth Bass, 2 Northern P*ke, and got soaked in the process. It was a blast!

I had one fish break my line twice while kayak fishing at the Fenton Mill Pond. Ugh! I'll be back my friend. My consolation prize was catching 1 Northern P*ke and 2 Largemouth Bass.

Kayak fishing doesn't get much better than this. Another awesome day fishing at the Stiffs Mill Pond in Holly, MI. Caught 6 Largemouth Bass, 3 Northern P*ke, and had a great time doing it. Life is good :-)

2 days of early June kayak fishing. Day 1 in Linden: caught a nice Largemouth Bass, went under a low bridge, and saw a cool airboat. Day 2 in Fenton: caught 1 Largemouth Bass and 2 Northern P*ke.

I saw an ad for this shirt today and laughed. If you fish, then you understand 🙂

I experienced a kill switch sensor issue on my Old Town Sportsman 106 MK. In this video I'll show you how to diagnose a kill switch sensor issue and how to replace it if necessary.

Trying to get as many trips as possible in to the Stiffs Mill Pond in Holly, MI before it disappears (due to issues with the Dam). This trip didn't disappoint as I caught 3 P*ke and 2 Bass. In this video is one of the funnest catches so far this year...a Bass that took 3 casts in a row to land.

Save the Holly Mill Pond!

I had another awesome day kayak fishing in the Holly Mill Pond. I caught 4 Largemouth Bass, 1 Northern P*ke, saw a Duckling's first flight, and had a close encounter with a Blue Heron.
