Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 04/14/22

It’s been another week full of fishing for the jig heads. Water temperatures are finally starting to increase, which means the bite is starting to improve! Unfortunately I have yet to get out, but will be out on Saturday with some family kiddos in hopes of catching some trout! Berkshire Brett reports that the trout biteContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 04/14/22”

Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 04/07/22

This week has had the weather all over the place, and although the bite hasn’t been super consistent it’s still there!  Here in the Hilltowns one of our favorite small ponds was stocked and my brother managed to catch 2 rainbows off the bottom with some pink powerbait.

Why?

There’s always some sort of level of surprise when I meet someone for the first time and they find out that I love to hunt and fish. Most recently, I met some new people through my dad and after chit chatting for a while one of them made a comment about how he had seenContinue reading “Why?”

Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report 01/27/22

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.

Wild Woman Spotlight – December

I started Wild Women in the beginning of the year, and although it has grown significantly I will be the first to admit it has been neglected a bit since the 2021 hunting season opened and I was fully wrapped up being in the field. My biggest goals for 2022 are toContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – December”
