It has been quite the week on the water! Ice fishing is my absolute favorite outdoor activity and the season is in full swing. I was able to get out with the crew this Sunday on a small body of water in the hill towns. We had 10 plus inches of ice and ended upContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report 01/27/22”

Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 01/21/22
I might be a day late, but I DO have some news on the hard water front! I was able to make it out two Sundays ago where I fished on a small secluded pond in the hill towns. There was about 5 to 6 inches of ice. I was fishing more shallow water, 6-7Continue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 01/21/22”
Leave it in the Woods
I think that women are often criticized for making things too emotional. In these male-dominated sports tho, I think we try to hide or mask our emotions. I know I do. We are so afraid of not looking “tough enough” or “capable enough” but I think this hinders us more than it helps. We areContinue reading “Leave it in the Woods”
The Pressure
I stopped in the middle of the trail as the last bit of daylight hung in the air. The darkness seemed to roll in faster now that I had noticed its looming presence. I stopped in the middle of the trail and tried to hold back the tears. For over two weeks I had beenContinue reading “The Pressure”
Wild Woman Spotlight – December
Here’s to 2021.

My biggest goals for 2022 are toContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – December”

The fishing has definitely slowed down but Tim still made it out and got some beauties! Tim got out on the Connecticut River the first weekend in December.

Although the fishing has slowed down, some of our Jig Heads have still been on the water!

The fishing has slowed down but it hasn’t stopped completely! While a lot of us are trying to fill our freezers with venison, some of the Jig Heads have still been fishing.

It’s the last Thursday in October, and the Jig Heads have still managed to get out fishing! Andy went out to Otis on Sunday where the air was a chilly 32 degrees and the water temps were 51-56 degrees. Couldn’t have had a better view than the changing of the leaves in the Berkshires. AndyContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 10/28/21”
