Wild Woman Spotlight -June

This month’s Wild Woman Spotlight is a lovely lady from Oakwood, Ontario named Toni Cooper. Back in the spring she posted a picture on IG of her with some beautiful turkeys that caught my eye. Part of her post that really moved me was what she wrote about the people she hunts with. I amContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight -June”

Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/24/21

Happy Thursday! We are officially into our last full week of June which is so hard to believe! This week’s report is full of great stuff from the Jig Heads so let’s just dive right in. Andy fished Big Pond in Otis reporting the water temps 68-70 degrees. He was able to pick up someContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/24/21”

So Many Questions

I don’t think anyone really understands the time,effort, or dedication that is put into hunting and fishing unless they actually do it. Getting up at 3:30 in the morning to go sit in the dark, sometimes shivering in the cold, or sitting around the lake for 8 hours, only to catch a few small fish.Continue reading “So Many Questions”

Dear Dad

It’s been over a week since I have really written anything, and I can’t explain why other than I just needed a breather. Allowing myself that break and just to enjoy the things I love in the moment was very cathartic, not to mention much needed, so I decided not to beat myself up overContinue reading “Dear Dad”

Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/17/21

Everyone, myself included, seems to be busy with various summer projects and activities. That didn’t stop these guys from getting out on the water. It was another great week of fishing reported from our Jig Heads! Andy hit Walker Pond at Wells State Park last weekend. He reported water temperatures 74-76 degrees and although nothingContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/17/21”

Here we are, another week down, and lots of great fishing! In a week we have seen a pretty big change in the weather, with what feels like summer now in full swing.

Constructive Criticism or Killing Enthusiasm?

There has been a little grey cloud following me around this week, as a FB user decided to comment on a couple of my posts in a negative way. First I was told that I am not a writer. I am writing to share the joy that I get from doing what I love withContinue reading “Constructive Criticism or Killing Enthusiasm?”

Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/03/21

Thursday is here, and so is the weekly fishing report! It’s a lighter report this week, both due to some crummy weather and the holiday weekend. The weather over the holiday weekend really killed my fishing plans. I finally was able to get out on Monday to one of my local hilltown spots. It wasContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/03/21”

Use Your Voice, Make Some Noise

Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife is currently in the process of trying to reach an agreement for increasing the license fees. Their original proposal showed a direct increase in 2022 with not only increases to the direct hunting and fishing license fees, but also increases in permits and stamps, as well as a fewContinue reading “Use Your Voice, Make Some Noise”

Wild Woman Spotlight – May

Meet Raven. She’s a CNA in Lancaster, PA with an extreme passion for fishing. Her post on a women’s fishing group caught my attention: “I’m 24. Young to basically everybody – especially the population that fishes. So today I was at the stream waiting for the stocking truck to come. It shows and the fishingContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – May”
