I fish for a lot of different species; that includes black bass, but I would not call myself a hard-core bass angler. I am even less of a fan of Mike Iaconelli, but I recently saw this video clip and if you fish bass, if you fish drop-shot rigs, you …

I recently received great news! Garrison Keillor and the Prairie Home Companion, http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/ , have solved the Asian carp crisis. Click on this link to see! Ichthyourologist Why didn’t I think of that?
My last blog post told you about some Nebraska anglers who are “Gettin-R-Done”; this one is going to tell you about some more! There is an organization that I am a huge fan of; it is called “Recycled Fish”. Obviously, with that title they are big proponents of catch & …

Zebra mussels are a hot topic in Nebraska and around the country this year, so I want to be sure to mention something about them frequently. Let me throw out a few items here. You may see some crews doing boat inspections and even decontaminations on selected waters around the …
I am old enough to remember when the Muppet Show was on TV every week. Now that was good TV, I do not care what you say! They just don’t make ‘em like that anymore; good thing I have the DVD’s (seriously, I ain’t kidding). Anyway, everybody knows that Miss …
