seen yesterday at the feeder
So a couple of you may remember when I posted a photo a couple months ago of a 11.5" northern-strain bull, and happened to mention that I went fishing that day because I had seen a much larger fish that I thought might have been a bluegill (didn't get a great look, just the side of its body as it rolled to get away from the boat) a few days prior to that...

Crickets
I am new to this so I was not sure if this should be in blog or forum. I woud like to know opinions on cricket use. Besides the fact that the black crickets I get in my yard are free, is there a difference between the black crickets in my yard and the crickets that pet shops sell. Does one work better than the other or are they both the same in fishing results? Second question is what is the best way to hook a cricket?

The Old Man Is Gone
The Passage
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Someone at my side finally says, "There, she is gone!"
"Gone where?" I ask.
Then I realize - she is gone only from my sight. That is… Continue
